Israel in 1982: the War in Lebanon
Israel in 1982: The War in Lebanon by RALPH MANDEL LS ISRAEL MOVED INTO its 36th year in 1982—the nation cele- brated 35 years of independence during the brief hiatus between the with- drawal from Sinai and the incursion into Lebanon—the country was deeply divided. Rocked by dissension over issues that in the past were the hallmark of unity, wracked by intensifying ethnic and religious-secular rifts, and through it all bedazzled by a bullish stock market that was at one and the same time fuel for and seeming haven from triple-digit inflation, Israelis found themselves living increasingly in a land of extremes, where the middle ground was often inhospitable when it was not totally inaccessible. Toward the end of the year, Amos Oz, one of Israel's leading novelists, set out on a journey in search of the true Israel and the genuine Israeli point of view. What he heard in his travels, as published in a series of articles in the daily Davar, seemed to confirm what many had sensed: Israel was deeply, perhaps irreconcilably, riven by two political philosophies, two attitudes toward Jewish historical destiny, two visions. "What will become of us all, I do not know," Oz wrote in concluding his article on the develop- ment town of Beit Shemesh in the Judean Hills, where the sons of the "Oriental" immigrants, now grown and prosperous, spewed out their loath- ing for the old Ashkenazi establishment. "If anyone has a solution, let him please step forward and spell it out—and the sooner the better. -

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 o ON CA lA N Abstract For six years since 1984 Israel underwent a unique p o litic al experience: i t was ruled by national coalitions supported by more than 75% of the members of parliament. Larger-than-minimal coalitions have always been problematic for traditional coalition theory. The Israeli case provides therefore an opportunity to examine the various actors' motivations and behaviour, as they reflect on coalition theory at 1arge. The assumption that actors are driven by "win maximization" is central to formal models of coalition theory. This assumption led to predictions of winning coalitions which are minimal in size, membership or ideological scope. Non-minimal coalitions were regarded as suboptimal choices, explainable on an ad hoc basis, e.g. -
The Fourth International Piano Master Competition
THE FOURTH INTERNATIONAL PIANO MASTER COMPETITION MARCH-APRIL 1983 ISRAEL THE ARTHUR RUBINSTEIN INTERNATIONAL MUSIC SOCIETY ' THE FOURTH INTERNATIONAL PIANO MASTER COMPETITION MARCH-APRIL 1983 ISRAEL . THE NEW JEWISH NATION HAS FELT, FROM ITS’ EARLIEST BEGINNING, THAT HOMELAND AND CULTURE ARE TWO CONCEPTIONS WHICH CANNOT BE SEPARATED FROM EACH OTHER. ARTHUR RUBINSTEIN For Israel this fourth Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Master Competition is an event of deep and moving significance. It is bound up with many aspects of our nation's life, even beyond the Competition's world-wide artistic importance and the aesthetic delight it gives to great numbers We see it this year as a fitting memorial to the great musician, humanist, superbly charming man and dedicated Jew who shed his luster upon it ever since its initiation in 1974. We in Israel have benefitted from Arthur Rubinstein's special, generous concern for young talents in the country, and we are happy that young artists from many countries are to participate 1n the Competition. Their presence and the remarkable panel of judges underscore the international nature of music and Israel's place in that great world - a place consonant with Israel's dedication to the arts and the enhancement of human life. May the fourth Rubinstein Competition fulfil its hopes Yitzhak Navon Jerusalem, January 25, 1983 Mr. J. Bistritzky The Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Master Competition P.O. Box 29MW Tel Aviv Dear Mr. Bistritzky, I wish to acknowledge with thanks receipt of your letter of January 12, 1983. Certainly, if I am able to do so, I will attend the special concert to mark the close of the Competition which bears the great artist's name. -
