I was fortunate to be part of a community that offered support and guidance. I’m indebted to scholars, colleagues, friends, and family who have offered me their time, patience, and understanding while I journey down my own path. I am extremely grateful for my dissertation committee: David Meyer, Catherine Bolzendahl, and Graeme Boushey. I am thankful for the support and guidance which Emily Katz, Yang Su, and Nina Bandelj provided during the research proposal stage. I am also thankful for the advice and support from Katherine Faust and Evan Schofer, who introduced me to variety of advanced research methods and provided feedback. I was fortunate to have received grants and fellowships in support for this research from the UCI Center for the Study of Democracy, the UCI Center for Citizen Peacebuilding, the Association for Jewish Studies and the Berman Foundation Dissertation Fellowship in Support of the Social Scientific Study of the Contemporary American Jewish Community. I am grateful for the support of UCI staff, Shani Brasier, Brenda Fitzjarrald, Ekua Arhin, Hannah Absher who helped me navigate the complexities of UCI. I am especially indebted to David Meyer, my advisor and mentor, who generously provided me with guidance and support. David always made himself available to read drafts, work through ideas, and help me seek out new opportunities. David has pushed me to become a better writer and scholar than I would have ever thought possible. Without his encouragement and support, I would not have been able to complete this dissertation. I am fortunate to have worked closely Catherine Bolzendahl and am extremely grateful for her mentorship and support. Katie set an example of how to conduct high-quality research. She was always patient and understanding while we worked together on a variety of projects. Katie took the time to teach me how to carry out an advanced research project from conception to publication. Her kindness, confidence, strength, and support created an environment that made success inevitable. I’d like to thank my collogues at UCI, Erin Evans, Dana Moss, Eulalie Laschever, and Amanda Pullum, who were always willing to work through ideas, read drafts, and provide feedback. I’d like to thank the Social Justice Social Movements work group and the Young Scholars Conferences, especially Nicole Fox and Doug McAdam, who provided feedback. I was lucky to be part of the best cohort: Edelina Burciaga, Matt Pearce, Dan Schneider, Henry Hail, Hector Martinez, Jonathan Calvillo, Natasha Miric, Erin Evans, Sean Fitzhugh, and Anne Schwichtenburg. As a group, you were always a source of strength and unconditional support that I have come to rely on these past seven years at UCI. Whether we were writing together, griping together, or laughing together, I always enjoyed our time. Together. I am overwhelmed by the support and encouragement I received from the friends I made while attending UCI. I would like to thank Kathryn Hoban, John Cuffe, Trevor Allen, Graham Odell, vii Hannah Alarian, Misty Knight-Rini, Steven Ahrendt, Kat Pham, Raissa Kay, Stephen Bolaris, and Nicole Beckage whose friendships made Southern California feel like home. I’d like to thank my family and friends whose patience, kindness, love, and support helped me become the person I am today. I’d like to thank my parents, Hemi and Sarah Sagi, who always pushed me to excel, even if they didn’t always know where that would take me. I’d like to thank Sara Lingeman, Melissa Roth, and Whitney Harrison. You three have always been there whenever I needed you. You made me laugh when I was down and encouraged me to keep going when I felt defeated. Even from afar, I always felt your love and support. Finally, I’d like to thank Dylan Alberts not only for his love and support but also for reading every single draft, talking through every single idea, and offering me encouragement every step of the way. viii CURRICULUM VITAE Rottem Sagi University of California, Irvine Department of Sociology www.rottemsagi.com EDUCATION Ph.D. Sociology, University of California, Irvine, June 2016 Dissertation: Who’s in My Bed: Strange Bedfellows in the American Pro-Israel Movement.

  • Manifestations of Anti- Semitism in the 21St Century
    ANTI-SEMITISM RESURGENT: MANIFESTATIONS OF ANTI- ST SEMITISM IN THE 21 CENTURY 1 www.counterextremism.com | @FightExtremism ANTI-SEMITISM RESURGENT: MANIFESTATIONS OF ANTI-SEMITISM IN THE 21ST CENTURY Key Points Modern anti-Semitism is a repackaging of historic tropes. Anti- Semites have adapted conspiracy theories of the blood libel as well as Jewish influence in economic and governmental affairs to fit new circumstances, such as the accusation that Jews are responsible for spreading COVID-19, just as Jews were accused of spreading the plague a millennium ago. Jews have historically been denied political and economic rights, and modern anti-Semitism is an expression of the rejection of Jewish integration into society. While the twentieth century saw the rise of influential Jewish politicians around the world as well as the creation of the Jewish nation-state of Israel, conspiracy theorists continue to accuse Jews of dual loyalties and exerting too much influence in world affairs. Partisan politicians are also increasingly willing to incorporate anti-Semitic tropes into their rhetoric to attack opponents they view as serving other interests. Blatantly anti-Semitic historical legal restrictions on Jewish life have evolved into modern laws restricting basic tenets of Jewish life—e.g., kosher slaughter and circumcision—with support from both the left and the right, who argue they are protecting animal and children’s rights. These laws largely do not specifically target Jews but still have the effect of restricting Jewish practice. 2 Table of Contents Anti-Semitism By The Numbers ............................................................................................ 8 Reviving Anti-Jewish Laws .................................................................................................. 31 Modern Political Anti-Semitism .......................................................................................... 34 Holocaust Denial .................................................................................................................

  • 1 Yom Kippur Sermon Tishri 10 5776
    YOM KIPPUR SERMON TISHRI 10 5776/ SEPTEMBER 23, 2015 STUART SOTSKY In the Haftarah today from Isaiah we read: “Is not this the fast I look for: to unlock the shackles of wickedness, to undo the fetters of injustice, to let the oppressed be free, and to break every cruel chain?” But, what is justice? Justice is, I believe, a human concept derived from living within an organized human society, and is embodied in our religious precepts, legal codes and political ideologies. Is there justice evident in the natural world, in which predators hunt and devour prey, and natural disasters wreak seemingly meaningless destruction? Obviously the concepts of justice vary greatly among societies and, even within Jewish civilization, natural disasters have historically been interpreted as divine justice. Despite admirable contemporary efforts to reach international consensus on universal human rights, adherence to them has failed miserably in too many societies in which self-determination, freedom of belief, expression, and identity, and personal security, have fallen prey to corrupt and oppressive authoritarian power, sometimes justified by religious ideology. In our own society, there have been continuing efforts “to form a more perfect union” to fulfill the promises of equality and human rights embodied in our Constitution and Declaration of Independence. While there has been substantial progress in civil rights, women’s rights, and LGBT rights over the past two generations, we still bear painful witness today to disturbing evidence of persistent racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and anti-Semitism, encouraged by appeals to primitive fears and hatreds by too many political and religious leaders.

  • The 6Th Global Forum for Combating Antisemitism ICC Jerusalem, March 19Th-21St, 2018
    The 6th Global Forum for Combating Antisemitism ICC Jerusalem, March 19th-21st, 2018 Summary of GFCA Panels The following is a brief summary of the various thematic panel discussions and their operative conclusions: Hate in the Age of New Politics: Confronting Neo-Nazism and Antisemitism of the Extreme Right in the United States and Elsewhere Sharon Nazarian,, ADL Senior VP for International Affairs, began the panel by situating the white supremacist movement within the context of dramatically rising numbers of antisemitic incidents in the US and the increase in white supremacist recruitment efforts including on college campuses. Mike Signer, former mayor of Charlottesville, Virginia, described the impact of his Jewish heritage on his public service, especially as related to his leadership during the August 2017 Unite the Right white supremacist rally. Signer suggested that the Alt Right lost legitimacy when it began to use violence as an instrument for spreading ideology. Yair Rosenberg, Senior Writer for Tablet Magazine, described his efforts to "troll the trolls." He argued that when confronted online by antisemitic harassers who intend to silence or intimidate, repaying with dismissive humor can be a way of turning the tables on them and revealing their ignorance and maliciousness to a wide audience. Eric K. Ward, Executive Director of the Western States Center, described his decades of work studying and opposing white supremacists in the US. He underscored the fact that hatred of Jews is the unifying core of white supremacist ideology, and called for a greater mobilization by civil society to oppose this movement. Ha asked that Israeli government take care to distance itself from any type of far right hate innuendo in US or elsewhere, Operative suggestions raised during the panel included the following: 1) Need for better understanding by municipal and law enforcement authorities of anxiety and fear level experienced by the Jewish communities due to extreme right public actions.

  • "There's No Pride in Anti-Semitism": Framing the 2019 Dc Dyke March Ban of the Jewish Pride Flag Through Facebook Comments
    "THERE'S NO PRIDE IN ANTI-SEMITISM": FRAMING THE 2019 DC DYKE MARCH BAN OF THE JEWISH PRIDE FLAG THROUGH FACEBOOK COMMENTS A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Linguistics By Katherine Anne Olivia Arnold-Murray, B.A. Washington, DC April 1, 2019 Copyright 2020 by Katherine Anne Olivia Arnold-Murray All Rights Reserved ii "THERE'S NO PRIDE IN ANTI-SEMITISM": FRAMING THE 2019 DC DYKE MARCH BAN OF THE JEWISH PRIDE FLAG THROUGH FACEBOOK COMMENTS Katherine Anne Olivia Arnold-Murray, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Cynthia Gordon, Ph.D. ABSTRACT In this study, I investigate the ways in which Facebook users, through public comments they post on an LGBTQ+ organization’s page, multimodally construct diverse interpretations and meanings of an event. Bringing together Bateson’s (1972) and Goffman’s (1974) interactional understandings of frame with Entman’s (1993) conception of frame as a sense of perceived reality made salient to the self and others, I demonstrate the ways in which interactants use multimodal communicative strategies on Facebook to construct frames of interpretation to problematize an aspect of the 2019 Dyke March in Washington, DC, and ultimately, the organization itself. Days ahead of the 2019 DC Dyke March, organizers banned the Jewish pride flag, claiming that the flag, with the Star of David in the center of a rainbow flag, is reminiscent of the Israeli flag, and is thus a symbol of “violent nationalism” against their queer values of anti- Zionism.
