  • From the Margins to Prime Time: Israeli Arabs on Israeli Television
    L. Steir-Livny / A. Mendelson-Maoz, From the margins to prime time: Israeli Arabs on Israeli Television 78 From the Margins to Prime Time: Israeli Arabs on Israeli Television The case of Sayed Kashua's "Arab Labour" Liat Steir-Livny1 | Adia Mendelson-Maoz2 Abstract Over recent decades, with the growing debate over multiculturalism in Israel, the representation of minorities in mass media has received new attention. The current research discusses the place of Israeli Arabs on Israeli television through the case- study of Arab Labour (In Hebrew, Avoda Aravit), a satirical sitcom written by Sayed Kashua (Channel 2, Keshet, 2007, 2010, 2012), which focuses on the shattered identity of Arab Israelis Our research shows that Arab Labour has triggered off changes in the way Arab Israelis are represented on Israeli television, in terms of their visibility on television, the quality of that visibility, and their interaction with the majority group. We examine a corpus of episodes dealing with three central themes: the Israeli identity card; attitudes to Jewish holidays and Jewish history; and the memory of the 1948 War versus the Nakba. Keywords: Sayed Kashua, Israeli television, 1948 War, the Nakba, Israeli identity, Arab-Israeli identity, Sitcom. 1 Dr. Liat Steir-Livny, The Open University & Sapir Academic College [email protected] 2 Dr. Adia Mendelson-Maoz.

  • English/Deportation/Statistics
    International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion Proceedings On Legal Consequences of the Construction of a Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory Palestine Written Statement (30 January 2004) And Oral Pleading (23 February 2004) Preface 1. In October of 2003, increasing concern about the construction by Israel, the occupying Power, of a Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, in departure from the Armistice Line of 1949 (the Green Line) and deep into Palestinian territory, brought the issue to the forefront of attention and debate at the United Nations. The Wall, as it has been built by the occupying Power, has been rapidly expanding as a regime composed of a complex physical structure as well as practical, administrative and other measures, involving, inter alia, the confiscation of land, the destruction of property and countless other violations of international law and the human rights of the civilian population. Israel’s continued and aggressive construction of the Wall prompted Palestine, the Arab Group, the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) to convey letters to the President of the United Nations Security Council in October of 2003, requesting an urgent meeting of the Council to consider the grave violations and breaches of international law being committed by Israel. 2. The Security Council convened to deliberate the matter on 14 October 2003. A draft resolution was presented to the Council, which would have simply reaffirmed, inter alia, the principle of the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by force and would have decided that the “construction by Israel, the occupying Power, of a wall in the Occupied Territories departing from the armistice line of 1949 is illegal under relevant provisions of international law and must be ceased and reversed”.

  • FROM CITIZENSHIP to STATELESS CITIZENSHIP Negotiations and Bargaining Over Citizenship, Or Patterns of Inclusiveness and Exclusi
    CHAPTER FIVE FROM CITIZENSHIP TO STATELESS CITIZENSHIP When we say ‘Jewish independence’ or ‘Jewish state’ we mean Jewish coun- try, Jewish soil, we mean Jewish labour, we mean Jewish economy, Jewish agriculture, Jewish industry, Jewish sea. We mean Jewish safety, security, independence, complete independence, as for any other free people. David Ben-Gurion, 1947, before the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry on Palestine (quoted in Lustick 1980, 88). Negotiations and bargaining over citizenship, or patterns of inclusiveness and exclusiveness, are, as Israeli political scientist Baruch Kimmerling says, “not only related to who gets what but also to who is what and who can decide who is what” (Kimmerling 2002b, 181–195). The complex dynamic of citizenship and its ability to contribute to the formation of socio-civic and political identities resurfaced in an important debate covered by Kimmerling. This debate took place in 1985 between writer and Arab citi- zen of Israel, Anton Shammas, and Jewish-Israeli writer A.B. Yehoshua, and was later revisited by the two in 1992. Addressing the question of the Jewishness of Israeli identity and citizenship, and in a response to Shammas’s accusation against Israel that it marginalized the Arab popula- tion’s collective identity, along with its social, cultural and political spheres, Yehoshua asserted: I am suggesting to you … that if you want to exercise your full identity, if you want to live in a state that has a Palestinian character with a genuine Palestinian culture, arise, take your chattels, and move yourself one hundred yards eastward, into the independent Palestinian state, that will be estab- lished alongside Israel (Kimmerling 2002b, 181–182).

Originally established in Jerusalem in 1921, the General Union of Palestinian Women organized women under occupation and in the Palestinian diaspora so that they could sustain communities and hold families together. The character of women’s involvement shifted in the late 1970s, as young, politically oriented women became active in the fi ght against Israeli occupation, as well as in the establishment of cooperatives, training cen- ters, and kindergartens. They formed activist women’s committees, which were able to attract members from different spheres of life and create alli- ances with international feminist organizations. Women also played an ac tive role in the fi rst intifada, or uprising, against Israeli occupation in 1987, further elevating their status in the society. Soon after the beginning of peace negotiations between the Palestinians and Israelis in 1991, which resulted in the 1993 Oslo Accord, women’s organizations formed a coalition called the Women’s Affairs Technical Committee (WATC) to advocate for the equal rights of women.

    JERUSALEM IS THE CAPITAL OF PALESTINE The PNC rejects the position of the US administration not to renew the operation of the office of thePLO The PNC, calls upon the international community to translate its resolutions and solidarity into actions that end the Israeli occupation To approve the introduction of the Shuafat and Kufr Akab separation law from Jerusalem to vote in the Knesset NO:2 DEC-2017 The PNC - The recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is a flagrant aggression against the Palestinian people and must be confronted The Palestinian National Council consid- ers any American recognition of the occupied City of Jerusalem as the capital of the Israeli occupation state or the transfer of its embassy it, is void and illegal. It is a blatant aggression against the rights of the Palestinian people in the capital of its Palestinian State. The Palestinian National Council (PNC) said in a press statement issued Sunday by the PNC Chairman, Saleem Alzanoon “That the attempt to undermine the legal and political status of the occupied Palestinian City of Jeru- salem imposes on the UN Security Council and the United Nations an urgent responsibility to protect its decisions regarding the rights of the Palestinian people in the city of Jerusalem as the capital of the Palestinian state as stipulated in International resolutions and the latest UN res- olution 2334”.

  • The Senses in Self, Society, and Culture: a Sociology of the Senses
    THE SENSES IN SELF, SOCIETY, AND CULTURE The Senses in Self, Society, and Culture is the definitive guide to the sociological and anthropological study of the senses. Vannini, Waskul, and Gottschalk provide a comprehensive map of the social and cultural significance of the senses that is woven in a thorough analytical review of classical, recent, and emerging scholarship and grounded in original empirical data that deepens the review and analysis. By bridging cultural/qualitative sociology and cultural/ humanistic anthropology, The Senses in Self, Society, and Culture explicitly blurs boundaries that are particularly weak in this field due to the ethnographic scope of much research. Serving both the sociological and anthropological constituen- cies at once means bridging ethnographic traditions, cultural foci, and socio- ecological approaches to embodiment and sensuousness. The Senses in Self, Society, and Culture is intended to be a milestone in the social sciences’ somatic turn. Phillip Vannini is Professor in the School of Communication and Culture at Royal Roads University,Victoria, Canada, and Canada Research Chair in Innovative Learning and Public Ethnography. He is author and editor of eight books, including Understanding Society through Popular Music (with Joe Kotarba, 2006, Routledge), and Ferry Tales: An Ethnography of Mobilities, Place, and Time on Canada’s West Coast (2011, Routledge). Dennis Waskul is Professor of Sociology at Minnesota State University, Mankato. He is author of Self-Games and Body-Play (2003, Peter Lang), production editor for Symbolic Interaction, editor of net.seXXX (2004, Peter Lang), and co-editor of Body/Embodiment (2006, Ashgate). He has published numerous studies on the sociology of the body, senses, sexualities, and computer-mediated communications.

Tens of thousands more are also liable to lose this right, and live in uncertainty about their future. Since the annexation of East Jerusalem by Israel in 1967, all Israeli governments have made great efforts to reduce significantly the number of Palestinians residing in East Jerusalem. These efforts include harsh restrictions on Palestinian construction in the eastern part of the city, a rigid policy on family unification, and minimal investment in infrastructure, and are part of a policy to strengthen Israeli sovereignty in East Jerusalem so that it cannot be challenged in the future. Since the beginning of 1996, Israel has been using an additional method to attain this goal. The method is implemented by the Interior Ministry and deals with the residency status of East Jerusalem's Palestinian residents.
