  • 2007 Israeli Democracy Index Is Dedicated to Captain Zur Zarhi from Nahalal, a Beloved Friend Who Went to War and Did Not Come Back
    Auditing Israeli Democracy – 2007 Cohesion in a Divided Society Asher Arian, Nir Atmor, Yael Hadar The Israel Democracy Institute is an independent, non-partisan body on the seam of academia and politics. The Institute proposes policy recommendations and reforms for government and public administration agencies. In its plans and endeavors, the Institute strives to support the institutions of Israel’s developing democracy and consolidate its values. The Institute’s research is followed up by practical recommendations, seeking to improve governance in Israel and foster a long-term vision for a stable democratic regime adapted to the structure, the values, and the norms of Israeli society. The Institute aspires to further public discourse in Israel on the issues placed on the national agenda, to promote structural, political, and economic reforms, to serve as a consulting body to decision-makers and the broad public, to provide information, and present comparative research. Researchers at the Israel Democracy Institute are leading academics directing projects in various areas of society and governance in Israel. The IDI Press produces, markets, and distributes the results of their work in several series of books (“The Democracy Library”), policy papers, the Caesarea Forum Series, periodicals, and conference proceedings. The Guttman Center was established in its present form in 1998, when the Guttman Institute for Applied Social Research became part of the Israel Democracy Institute. Professor Louis Guttman founded the original Institute in 1949 as a pioneering center for the study of public opinion and the advancement of social science methodology. The goal of the Guttman Center is to enrich public discourse on issues of public policy through the information retrieved from the Center’s databases and through public opinion surveys conducted by the Center.

  • Lawyers' Litigation Forecasts Play an Integral Role in the Justice System
    Journalism and Mass Communication, August 2015, Vol. 5, No. 8, 373-387 D doi: 10.17265/2160-6579/2015.08.001 DAVID PUBLISHING “Painting with Words”: “Social Justice” Protest‟s Narrative in the Israeli‟s News Alonit Berenson Zefat Academic College, Safed, Israel This article analyzes the role of the media during the 2011 social protests in Israel, in order to examine why the “Social Justice” protest proved more effective than any other social protest organized previously in Israel. Scholars have shown that media framing has a powerful effect on citizen perception and policy debates. The social protests focused on the political-social-economic policy based on a neo-liberal ideology. They signified the beginnings of resistance to the system and became the focus of public and media identification via reports published by leading Israeli newspapers: Yedioth Ahronoth and Israel Hayom. Using content analysis, the author explore how the media plays an important role to shape the public perception of how to think and act about the protest. Due to the results, we evident the expand media capacity and influence, and that these effects are mediated in presenting positive and supportive coverage, including connotations and metaphors expressed by means of familiar slogans and events in the collective memory of Israeli society. Additionally, the expression “social justice” that became the protest‟s slogan, offered a broad common basis with which each citizen could identify, including journalists. Keywords: media framing, journalism, social justice, protest Introduction Towards the end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011, social groups and individuals began organizing small-scale demonstrations in the streets and town squares of a number of European cities, in countries such as Britain, Spain, Portugal, and Greece, as well as Israel.

    Saint Mary’s College School of Liberal Arts Department of Performing Arts Asian Dance Performing Arts PROFESSORS: Jia Wu OFFICE: LeFevre Theatre 5 OFFICE HOURS: by appointment only (T.TH 11:20 -12:50 pm) PHONE: (925) 631-4299 CLASS HOURS: 1:15-2:50 T TH COURSE DESCRIPTION: Classical dance is a significant symbol for the contemporary Asian nations-state and its diasporas. In this class, we will explore how the category of “classical dance” was defined in 20th and 21st century in Asia and investigate the performative value of the concept—that is, we will look into what the idea of “classical dance” does, how it is deployed, and examine the circumstances of its production and reception. Out of the many established classical and contemporary forms, our focus will be on,wayang wong and shadow puppet in Bali and Java, Kathak and Bharatanatyam in India, Peking Opera, Yangge, Ethnic Dances and “Revolution” Ballet in China and Classical Dance in Cambodia. We will explore the key sources upon which the dances are based; survey the histories of the forms that comprise the classical canon; and situate the revival, reconstruction, and institutionalization of classical dance as a symbol of national identity and heritage in these four nations. We will also look at “folk,” “social,” “popular,” “Bollywood,” “modern,” and “contemporary” dance as categories distinguished from—and which interrogate—classical structures. Throughout, we will critically consider the relationship between dance, colonialism, nationalism, religion, and social history. COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES: 1. Dance in Bali and Java: students will be able to • Identify the basic characteristics and vocabulary in classical dance • Understand the key concepts and discourses involved in the study of these forms • Develop an awareness of the context and politics of performing as well as viewing these dances.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. The exact Hebrew name for this affair is the “Yemenite children Affair.” I use the word babies instead of children since at least two thirds of the kidnapped were in fact infants. 2. 1,053 complaints were submitted to all three commissions combined (1033 complaints of disappearances from camps and hospitals in Israel, and 20 from camp Hashed in Yemen). Rabbi Meshulam’s organization claimed to have information about 1,700 babies kidnapped prior to 1952 (450 of them from other Mizrahi ethnic groups) and about 4,500 babies kidnapped prior to 1956. These figures were neither discredited nor vali- dated by the last commission (Shoshi Zaid, The Child is Gone [Jerusalem: Geffen Books, 2001], 19–22). 3. During the immigrants’ stay in transit and absorption camps, the babies were taken to stone structures called baby houses. Mothers were allowed entry only a few times each day to nurse their babies. 4. See, for instance, the testimony of Naomi Gavra in Tzipi Talmor’s film Down a One Way Road (1997) and the testimony of Shoshana Farhi on the show Uvda (1996). 5. The transit camp Hashed in Yemen housed most of the immigrants before the flight to Israel. 6. This story is based on my interview with the Ovadiya family for a story I wrote for the newspaper Shishi in 1994 and a subsequent interview for the show Uvda in 1996. I should also note that this story as well as my aunt’s story does not represent the typical kidnapping scenario. 7. The Hebrew term “Sephardic” means “from Spain.” 8.

  • Israel Debates No. 12
    Israel Debates No. 12 12 November 2012 What has been achieved? On the political balance of Israel’s social protest movement. There is an election campaign going on in Israel. On 22 January 2013, early elections for the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, will take place. The main reason to bring the date forward – regular elections were scheduled in the fall of 2013 – was the fact that Prime Minister Netanyahu was neither able nor apparently willing to approve the State budget for 2013. It had foreseen necessary cuts in government spending and significant tax increases, which would inevitably have led to losses at the ballot box for both him and his coalition partners. So it was in his electoral interest to reschedule the elections and postpone the approval of the budget until afterwards. It seems Netanyahu, who until recently dominated, almost unchallenged, the political scenery in Israel, meanwhile worries about securing re-election. One of the reasons for this is that, as an immediate conse- quence of the social protest movement last year, Israel experiences a new awareness of social and eco- nomic policy issues. The feeling of increasing social injustice, the dismantling of social state principles, a growing gap between rich and poor, housing rents that could no longer be paid and the rising costs of living brought hundreds of thousands of people onto the streets in the summer of 2011. Despite efforts by its leaders, the protests did not continue into the year 2012. Nonetheless, the movement and its demands for social justice and a functioning welfare state managed to significantly impact the country’s political dis- course.

  • Postmodern-Pandemics and Protests: COVID-19 As a Platform Scapegoating, Conspiracy and Authoritarian Narratives – the Cases of Germany and Israel
    Postmodern-Pandemics and Protests: COVID-19 as a platform Scapegoating, conspiracy and authoritarian narratives – The cases of Germany and Israel Jakob Andrae, Felix Kirchhof and Sophia Solomon Abstract The outbreak of a global post-modern pandemic in 2020, led to a variety of civic protests in different countries. This paper analyzes the protests within German and Israeli societies and thereby examines similarities and differences between the civic positions expressed in those countries. In the following we will focus on three main issues: 1. Xenophobia, scapegoating, conspiracy theories and authoritarian- ism as ideological reactions to post-modern pandemics. 2. COVID-19 related pro- tests in Israel and Germany 3. The relation between new social conditions which result from the pandemic and attempts to instrumentalize them and use the virus in order the spread of authoritarian ideologies and excluding actions. Introduction After the death of US-citizen George Floyd as a result of racist police violence, a global movement against racism emerged. The protests focused not only on ra- cially motivated police arrests, but also criticized structurally anchored, systemic and everyday ongoing racism. It is possible, that the coronavirus pandemic has not only led to a global wave of protests, but also changed the way how people protest around the world. Public protests during a pandemic have prompted the concern that close contact of participants could lead to a spike in case counts of infections. Even though being outdoors seems to decrease the risk of exposure, it still presents a dilemma be- cause staying home would be safer in many cases. Nevertheless, it would be hyp- ocritical to expect protesters to stay at home, while people have to attend to their work on a daily basis and risk their health even in industries which are not vital for society.

  • Livni's Outlook: Political and Policy Options in Israel
    PolicyWatch #1403 Livni's Outlook: Political and Policy Options in Israel By David Makovsky September 23, 2008 In the wake of Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni's narrow Kadima party victory over Shaul Mofaz last week, Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert resigned on Sunday night. The following day, Israeli president Shimon Peres asked Livni to form a new governing coalition, but if she is unable to do so in the next six weeks, Israel will head for new elections. Regardless of the coalition's makeup, prospects remain bleak in the short term for a breakthrough on either the Palestinian or Syrian track. Political Options If Livni successfully puts together a coalition, Israel would be the only known country where women head all branches of government. Dalia Itzik and Dorit Beinish -- both women -- lead the Israeli parliament and supreme court respectively. Furthermore, a Livni coalition would mark the first time a woman has been an Israeli prime minister in the thirty-four years since Golda Meir. Livni's best prospect for cobbling together the needed sixty-one parliamentarians would be to replicate the existing coalition comprising Kadima (twenty-nine), Labor (nineteen), Shas (twelve), and the Pensioners (seven). As Livni heads into negotiations, she has several advantages. In terms of character, Israelis view her as a counterpoint to Olmert, who is facing a swirl of corruption allegations. And since Mofaz's decision to take a "time out" from Israeli politics, opposition to her within Kadima seems to have quickly dissipated. Moreover, the parties comprising the current government seem to have little interest in challenging the political order because of the significant uncertainty in early elections.
