ARTICLES Israel's Migration Balance
ARTICLES Israel’s Migration Balance Demography, Politics, and Ideology Ian S. Lustick Abstract: As a state founded on Jewish immigration and the absorp- tion of immigration, what are the ideological and political implications for Israel of a zero or negative migration balance? By closely examining data on immigration and emigration, trends with regard to the migration balance are established. This article pays particular attention to the ways in which Israelis from different political perspectives have portrayed the question of the migration balance and to the relationship between a declining migration balance and the re-emergence of the “demographic problem” as a political, cultural, and psychological reality of enormous resonance for Jewish Israelis. Conclusions are drawn about the relation- ship between Israel’s anxious re-engagement with the demographic problem and its responses to Iran’s nuclear program, the unintended con- sequences of encouraging programs of “flexible aliyah,” and the intense debate over the conversion of non-Jewish non-Arab Israelis. KEYWORDS: aliyah, demographic problem, emigration, immigration, Israel, migration balance, yeridah, Zionism Changing Approaches to Aliyah and Yeridah Aliyah, the migration of Jews to Israel from their previous homes in the diaspora, was the central plank and raison d’être of classical Zionism. Every stream of Zionist ideology has emphasized the return of Jews to what is declared as their once and future homeland. Every Zionist political party; every institution of the Zionist movement; every Israeli government; and most Israeli political parties, from 1948 to the present, have given pride of place to their commitments to aliyah and immigrant absorption. For example, the official list of ten “policy guidelines” of Israel’s 32nd Israel Studies Review, Volume 26, Issue 1, Summer 2011: 33–65 © Association for Israel Studies doi: 10.3167/isr.2011.260108 34 | Ian S.

The progress of the study carried out so far is presented in this progress report. The author and the staff of the Department of Marine Geology and Coastal Processes wish to express our appreciation and thank Mr. Bertram Cohn of North American Friends of IOLR for the funding support provided. RESULTS Main results obtained so far are presented in tables and graphs. They show assessments of the maximum runup of the waves during extreme storm conditions, of the extreme waves and sea levels for return average periods of up to 100 years, results of erosion-accretion balance for the study coast during 1997-2004 period, examples of differential maps of the beach and cliff at Apolonia and near Marina Herzliya between 2002 and 2003 as well as the waterline position changes between 1997 and 2004, and examples of the numerical wave and sedimentological modeling simulations and their outcomes for the study sector – the central sector of the Mediterranean coast of Israel. PRELIMINARY CONCLUSIONS The work presented in this report is an ongoing study on the coastal erosion at the beach and coastal cliff of a typical coastal sector at the Mediterranean coast of Israel.

Demography and Transfer: Israel's Road to Nowhere
Third World Quarterly, Vol 24, No 4, pp 619–630, 2003 Demography and transfer: Israel’s road to nowhere ELIA ZUREIK ABSTRACT The conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, which dates back to the latter part of the nineteenth century, has always been a conflict over land and population balance. At the start of the twenty-first century, with no end in sight to the conflict, the issue of demography stares both sides in the face. Israel’s ability to maintain military and economic superiority over neighbouring Arab countries in general and the Palestinians in particular is matched by its inability to maintain long-term numerical superiority in the areas it holds west of the Jordan River. It is expected that within 10 to 15 years there will be parity between the Arabs and the 5.5 million Jews who currently live in historical Palestine. While discussion of Arab population transfer has been relegated to internal debates among Zionist leaders, the idea itself has always remained a key element in Zionist thinking of ways to solve the demography problem and ensure Jewish population dominance. A recent decline in Jewish immigration to Israel, the rise of the religious-political right, continuing Jewish settlement in the West Bank and Gaza and the recent Palestinian uprising have moved this debate to the public arena. Fractions among Israel’s intellectuals, political figures and Sharon government ministers have raised the demography issue publicly, calling openly for the transfer of the Palestinian population to Jordan. It was Theodore Herzl, the father and ideologue of modern Zionism, who more than a century ago lobbied the Ottoman government and the potentates of Europe on behalf of the Zionist movement for a foothold in Palestine.

Executive summary COMPOSE aims to bring about a new era in services based on the Internet of Things (IoT), making it simple to integrate the physical with the virtual world. COMPOSE achieves this through the provisioning of an open and scalable marketplace infrastructure, in which Smart Objects are associated to applications that can be combined, managed, and integrated to easily and quickly build innovative applications. The project has developed novel approaches for virtualising Smart Objects into readily usable Service Objects that can be advertised, searched for, and combined with other Service Objects to form novel applications. To this end the project devised solutions for semantically enhancing smart objects and applications, secure and privacy-preserving data aggregation and distribution, dynamic service composition, advertising, discovering, provisioning, and monitoring. COMPOSE aims to facilitate a new business ecosystem targeted mainly towards SMEs, by democratizing the use of smart objects via an open cloud based platform.

Some Key Dates in IBM's Operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) Introduction The years in the following table denote the start up of IBM operations in many of the EMEA countries. In some cases -- Spain and the United Kingdom, for example -- IBM products were offered by overseas agents and distributors earlier than the year listed. In the case of Germany, the beginning of official operations predates by one year those of the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company, which was formed in 1911 and renamed International Business Machines Corporation in 1924.
