ISBN: 978-0745330938 This book contradicts the dominant myth that incompetent, corrupt, and uncompromising Palestinian decision- makers are responsible for the lasting stalemate in the Middle-East Peace Process. It highlights recent political developments in Palestine that fundamentally redefine important parameters of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Contrary to public perception, new political trends in the Palestinian Territories bolster prospects for the realization of Palestinian national aspirations. Michael Bröning identifies key indicators which fundamentally question dominant Israeli narratives and pose an unprecedented strategic challenge to the Israeli leadership. These include the re-invention of Hamas, the reform of the Fatah movement, Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad’s state- building efforts and the surge of non-violent resistance against Israel.

  • The Palestinian Dilemma
    EVALUATING PEACE EDUCATION IN THE OSLO/INTIFADA GENERATION: AN IMPACT STUDY OF SEEDS OF PEACE 1993-2010 BY Ned Lazarus ABSTRACT Since 1993, several thousand Israeli and Palestinian youth have participated in 12 summer “coexistence” programs in North America. The programs espouse a common theory of change: that an experience of dialogue in an idyllic American setting will inspire youth to return to the Middle East as aspiring peacemakers. This dissertation provides the first large-scale, long-term empirical assessment of that theory, by tracking the peacebuilding activity of all 824 Israeli and Palestinian graduates of SOP's first decade of operation (1993- 2003), and complementing this with qualitative research on more than 100 adult graduates (ages 21-30). The longitudinal framework assesses fluctuations in activity over time, highlighting the influence of changing personal, organizational, and political contexts. Key findings include that more than half of alumni engaged in peacebuilding during high school; that compulsory Israeli military service discouraged activity among both Israeli and Palestinian graduates; that nearly one-fifth of alumni engaged in peacebuilding as adults; and that extensive follow-up programming was essential for sustaining long-term commitments to peacebuilding. The study concludes that the international intervention structure embeds an effective educational model in a problematic organizational model. While providing an unprecedented evaluation of a popular peace education approach, this study tells the stories of a pivotal generation: Palestinians and Israelis who entered adolescence at the hopeful dawn of the Oslo peace process, to emerge as adults in an era of intifada and “separation.” 1 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation is the culmination of a journey of eight years of practice, and seven years of research, study and writing.

  • Export Statt Exodus
    Bild nur in Printausgabe verfügbar Export statt Exodus Winfried Schumacher | Kleines Land mit großer Kultur: Israels Künstler, Autoren und Filmemacher sind weltweit gefragt. Mit Verve, Chuzpe und Selbst ironie widmen sie sich dem komplizierten Leben in einem von Krieg, Terror und politischen Grabenkämpfen gebeutelten Land. Die Schroffheit und Verletzlichkeit ihrer Alltagshelden kommt auch im Ausland an. Sie feilen an ihren Fingernägeln, kochen Kaffee für den Vorgesetzten, schred- dern nie gelesene Akten und räumen Minenfelder höchstens auf Minesweeper. Die Uniformen der Soldatinnen sitzen schlecht und ihre Knarren sind nichts als lästige Accessoires. Was die israelische Regisseurin Talya Lavie in ihrem Filmdebüt „Zero Motivation“ zeigt, ist gähnende Langeweile in einer Militär- basis. Und doch sorgte die schwarze Komödie in Israel für einen der größten Kinoerfolge der vergangenen Jahre. Keine Kassam-Raketen, keine Konfliktanalysen und schon gar keine Kriegshelden sind in „Zero Motivation“ zu sehen. Mit bösem Witz und mes- serscharfem Blick auf den öden Alltag im Lager beobachtet Lavie das Leben einer Gruppe von Soldatinnen in der Negev-Wüste. Sie zählen die Tage bis 58 IP Länderporträt • 2 / 2016 Export statt Exodus zum Ende ihres Militärdiensts und träumen vom Partyleben in Tel Aviv. Der glorreiche Einsatz für das Land der Väter bedeutet für sie nur das Absitzen von Dienstanweisungen lächerlicher Rangoberer. Wer kein Hebräisch spricht und nie eine israelische Militärbasis von innen gesehen hat – erst recht, wer noch nie in Israel war – wird den Humor eines großen Teiles der Dialoge auch mit englischen Untertiteln nicht ganz verste- hen. Zu vielschichtig und kulturspezifisch ist der Schlagabtausch. Dennoch wurde der Film auf dem Tribeca Film Festival als bester Film ausgezeichnet und erregte das Interesse von BBC America.

The fragile equilibrium of the new life Rivka and Moishe have forged for themselves and their sons, Hilik and Yonatan, in the new state of Israel begins to waver when Moishe convinces himself that Yankele, his son from his first marriage, didn't actually die in Auschwitz, but rather miraculously escaped to America, where he grew to adulthood and became an advisor to President John Kennedy. Moishe never really accepted the fact that he alone survived the Holocaust, and after seeing “Jack Waldman’s” picture in the newspaper, he finds himself sinking into his past. When Moishe writes a letter to Waldman, Hilik takes matters into his own hands.

  • Communication 140 Introduction to Film Studies
    COMMUNICATION 140 INTRODUCTION TO FILM STUDIES Waltz With Bashir [Vals Im Bashir] (2008) Written and directed by Ari Folman. Edited by Nili Feller. Music by Max Richter. With the voicework of Ari Folman, Ori Sivan, Ronny Dayag, Shmuel Frenkel, Zahava Solomon, Ron Ben-Yishai, and Dror Harazi. Ari Folman’s broodingly original Waltz With Bashir—one of the highlights of the last New York Film Festival—is a documentary that seems only possible, not to mention bearable, as an animated feature. Folman, whose magic realist youth film Saint Clara was one of the outstanding Israeli films of the 1990s, has created a grim, deeply personal phantasmagoria around the 1982 invasion of Lebanon. Waltz With Bashir, named for Bashir Gemayel, the charismatic hero of the Christian militias that allied themselves with Israel, is an illustrated oral history based on interviews that Folman conducted with former comrades, which mixes dreams with their incomplete or conflicting recollections. Waltz With Bashir opens with a pack of slavering dogs rampaging through nocturnal Tel Aviv—the dramatization of a recurring nightmare experienced by one of Folman’s friends. His assignment, when entering a Lebanese village, had been to silence the dogs because “they knew I couldn’t shoot a person.” One dream triggers another: Folman, who claims to have forgotten everything about his wartime experiences, has his sleep disturbed by a vision of soldiers, naked save for their dog tags and Uzis, drifting zombie-like out of the ocean onto Beirut’s posh hotel strip. That which has been repressed returns with startling ferocity. Although it can be highly explicit in detailing war’s horror, Waltz With Bashir is mainly concerned with the recollection of trauma.

    UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME ARAB FUND FOR ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT ARAB GULF PROGRAMME FOR UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONS ARAB HUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2004 Towards Freedom in the Arab World The Arab world finds itself at a historical crossroads. Caught between oppression at home and violation from abroad, Arabs are increasingly excluded from determining their own future. Freedom in its comprehensive sense, incorporates not only civil and political freedoms (in other words, liberation from oppression), but also the liberation from all factors that are inconsistent with human dignity. To be sustained and guaranteed, freedom requires a system DEVELO HUMAN ARAB of good governance that rests upon effective popular representation and is accountable to the people, and that upholds the rule of law and ensures that an independent judiciary applies the law impartially. The report describes free societies, in their normative dimension, as fundamental contrasts with present-day Arab countries. The enormous gap that separates today’s reality and what many in the region hope for, is a source of widespread frustration and despair among Arabs about their countries’ prospects for a peaceful transition to societies enjoying freedom and good governance. Moreover, persisting tendencies in Arab social structures could well lead to spiralling social, economic, and political crises. Each further stage of crisis would impose itself 2004 REPORT PMENT as a new reality, producing injustices eventually beyond control. The Arab world is at a decisive point that does not admit compromise or complacency. If the Arab people are to have true societies of freedom and good governance, they will need to be socially innovative.

RE-MEDIATING THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT: THE USE OF FILMS TO FACILITATE DIALOGUE by ELANA SHEFRIN Under the Direction of M. Lane Bruner ABSTRACT With the objective of outlining a decision-making process for the selection, evaluation, and application of films for invigorating Palestinian-Israeli dialogue encounters, this project researches, collates, and weaves together the historico-political narratives of the Israeli- Palestinian conflict, the artistic worldviews of the Israeli and Palestinian national cinemas, and the procedural designs of successful Track II dialogue interventions. Using a tailored version of Lucien Goldman’s method of homologic textual analysis, three Palestinian and three Israeli popular film texts are analyzed along the dimensions of Historico-Political Contextuality, Socio- Cultural Intertextuality, and Ethno-National Textuality. Then, applying the six “best practices” criteria gleaned from thriving dialogue programs, coupled with the six “cautionary tales” criteria gleaned from flawed dialogue models, three bi-national peacebuilding film texts are homologically analyzed and contrasted with the six popular film texts.

Yes indeed. WALTZ WITH BASHIR was always meant to be an animated documentary. For a few years, I had the basic idea for the film in my mind but I was not happy at all to do it in real life video. How would that have looked like? A middleaged man being interviewed against a black background, telling stories that happened 25 years ago, without any archival footage to support them. That would have been SO BORING! Then I figured out it could be done only in animation with fantastic drawings.
