Israel is a relatively small country, and if students like Belfer and Kashi are not directly affected by the fight- ing, then friends, family or acquain- tances typically are. And in many cases, even areas that were once deemed safe from attack no longer guarantee that kind of invulnerability. Still, those in Israel breathe in and move on. “As the missile range grew, my area of restriction grew,” Ganzarski said. “But my day-to-day life is completely the same.” As they have shown, those who wish to visit Israel from abroad will not let the bloodshed stop them. For non-Jewish foreigners, however, the decision is potentially more difficult since their tie to the land is less potent and the danger no less severe. Belfer was faced with this dilemma in her layover in Rome. “There was a family behind me [in] line, and I heard the mother say to the rest of the family, ‘I met a guy Design by Ally Gimbel on the flight who is going from Rome to Israel!’ I thought to myself, is this Woogmaster, who also spent her crazy?” she said. break in Israel, agreed. “It is impor- Hesitations aside, Belfer made it tant to be in Israel and to stand side to Jerusalem confident that in spite by side with the Israelis who have to of all the violence, now is the time be there,” she said. “I landed in Israel to visit. “It’s really important to go the day after the war broke out, and Meredith Klein/Tufts Daily to Israel during challenging times in all I felt was happy — happy that I For students attempting to successfully regulate their diets in the new year, the dining hall order to show solidarity,” she said. would be there during this crisis.” can be a source of colossal temptation.

Nowadays, a huge number of largely unknown bands are building, in exciting ways, on the best of classic rock, folk, soul and ’60s pop. I’ve decided to write a col- umn that each week sheds new light on a recent album by comparing it to what I see as its parent, of sorts, from years ago. This week, I’ll line up Animal Collective’s just-released “Merriweather Post Pavillion” (2009) with “Pet Sounds,” an album many critics consider history’s greatest. “I really want to do just what my body wants to,” Animal Collective member Panda Bear sings on the swelling and exploding “Guys Eyes.” Panda’s vocals here immediately recall those of Beach Boys front man Brian Wilson: He takes one strong melodic phrase, belted in stretched- out vowel sounds, and builds above and around it with harmonies and background vocals centered on counterpoint. “You Still Believe in Me” is “Pet Sounds”’ closest analog to “Guys Eyes,” musically and lyrically. Wilson sings a nytimes.com repetitious melody that climbs up, then Lately keeps her midget close and her reality-show enemies closer. dips down, and the Boys cap it with a chorus harmony so rich that it’s hard to find the overarching melody.

Defiance continued from page 5 Why don’t they fight back? The Bielskis are the Jews we wish existed in all the stories, in all the cities and all the camps. The brothers’ fear of the Nazis and faith in God propelled them to do something. Their story is almost a fairytale, but the kicker is that it is true. Jewish resistance is obviously not the first aspect of the Holocaust that comes to mind for American audiences. However, there was significant armed resistance against the Nazis across occupied Poland and the Soviet Union. The Bielski Otriad, or partisan detachment, was one of the most venerable elements of the Jewish resistance. While they did act with force on many occasions, their legacy was an emphasis on community. By cultivating a safe haven within the forests, more than 1,200 Jews survived the war. In spite of its historical themes, “Defiance” is an action movie. From Edward Zwick, the director of such defin- ing war movies as “Glory” (1989) and “The Last Samurai” (2003), the film is a tech- nical beauty. The special effects, sound mixing and general blocking of the battle scenes are exquisite. Zwick does not gloss over the sacrifices of war; the characters get dirty, go hungry and get killed. These hardships bring a semblance of reality to an otherwise hard-to-believe story. The tense action sequences also work to even out the pacing of the film, which tends to drag during the disappointing character-driven segments. The viewer roots for the Bielski clan, but he isn’t emotionally attached or interested in entertainmentwallpaper.com the film’s characters.
