  • Israel: Background and U.S. Relations in Brief
    Israel: Background and U.S. Relations in Brief Updated May 18, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R44245 SUMMARY R44245 Israel: Background and U.S. Relations in Brief May 18, 2020 The following matters are of particular significance to U.S.-Israel relations. Jim Zanotti Israeli unity government, possible West Bank annexation, and COVID-19. In May Specialist in Middle 2020, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his main political rival Benny Eastern Affairs Gantz formed a unity government, bringing an end to a long political stalemate in Israel that had continued through three elections in April 2019, September 2019, and March 2020. Netanyahu and Gantz cited the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to address its public health, economic, and other implications for Israel as a major reason for their agreement. By accepting a unity government, Gantz departed from his campaign pledge not to join with Netanyahu, who is scheduled to begin a criminal trial on corruption charges on May 24. While the agreement provides for Gantz to rotate into the position of prime minister by November 2021, and appears to give him broad powers of approval over the government’s actions, his choice to join Netanyahu split his Kahol Lavan party and might leave Netanyahu with an overall political advantage. Arguably, the most significant aspect of the Netanyahu-Gantz deal for U.S. policy is its explicit authorization of a cabinet and Knesset vote on annexing West Bank territory—in coordination with the United States—after July 1, 2020 (see more on the issue’s significance below).

General Presentation Ceauşescu’s Romania was a closed society, characterised by repression in all fields of human existence: limitations of ownerships rights, hard labour condi- tions and small wages, lacking freedom of movement, bureaucratic obstacles against emigration, violations of the rights of national minorities, contempt for religious faiths and the persecution of religious practices, drastic economic aus- terity, constant censorship in the field of culture, the repression of all dissident views and an omnipresent cult around the president and his family, which con- tributed to the demoralisation of the population.

  • The Polaroid and the Cross. Media-Reflexivity and Allegorical Figurations in Lucian Pintilie's The
    ACTA UNIV. SAPIENTIAE, FILM AND MEDIA STUDIES, 12 (2016) 45–66 DOI: 10.1515/ausfm-2016-0003 The Polaroid and the Cross. Media-Reflexivity and Allegorical Figurations in Lucian Pintilie’s The Oak (1992) Katalin Sándor Babeş–Bolyai University (Cluj-Napoca), Research Fellow at the Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania (Cluj-Napoca, Romania) E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The paper discusses the question of media reflexivity and allegorical figuration in Lucian Pintilie’s 1992 film, The Oak . Through a fictional narrative, the film reflects on the communist period from the historical context of the post-1989 transition strongly marked by the after- effects of dictatorship and by political, social and economic instability. By incorporating a diegetic Polaroid camera and a home movie, The Oak displays a reflexive preoccupation with the mediality and the socio-cultural constructedness of the image. The figurative, allegorizing tendency of the film – manifest in the subversive recontextualization of grand narratives, iconographic codes or images of art history – also foregrounds the question of cultural mediation. I argue that by displaying the non-transparency of the cinematic image and the cultural mediatedness of the “real,” the media- reflexive and allegorical-figurative discourse of the film can be regarded as a critical historical response to the social and representational crises linked to the communist era, but at the same time it may be symptomatic of the social, cultural, political anxieties of post-1989 transition.1 Keywords: Pintilie, The Oak, media reflexivity, allegory, intermediality. In Romanian film history Lucian Pintilie’s cinematic oeuvre can be regarded as an intriguingly transitional discourse.

Quddus suffered a horrific martyrdom by a fanatical mob in the town of Barfurush, Persia, today’s Iran, on 16 May, 1849. 3 This journal is lovingly and gratefully dedicated to my parents JOYCE MARY HALSTED AND ALLAN JAMES MCLEAN who taught me the love, faith and knowledge of God and to SHAMSI, ANN AND LEO with whom I shared a memorable moment of history in the making 4 PREFACE This journal was written to present a slice of spiritual history with a human face. It lay in my papers for some 27 years before I decided to revisit its pages. In the summer of 1990, a small group of four travel-teachers visited the Soviet Union to consolidate the activities of several larger proclamation teams from North and South America, Germany, the Holy Land. The visits of these proclamation teams during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s launched a new and vital stage in the development of the Faith of Bahá’u’lláh in those vast lands.
