The connection between Israel and Iran ran deeper than geopolitics; it reached back into the depths of Jewish and Persian history. But the overthrow of the pro-Western Iranian king, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, and Ayatollah Khomeini‟s rise to power led to a sudden, dramatic reversal of the Iran‟s decades-long policy of full cooperation and accommodation of Western interests. Subsequently, Israeli ties were officially severed and the Islamic Republic designated Israel and Zionism as the greatest threat to Iran and the whole of the Islamic world. After the hostage crisis and the ensuing severance of relations with the United States, a politically unstable Iran was invaded by Iraq.

  • Historical Assessment of the Transformation of Kibbutzim of Israel's
    Historical Assessment of the Transformation of Kibbutzim of Israel’s Southern Arava By: Morgan E. Reisinger Project Advisors: Professor Bland Addison Professor Peter Hansen April 2019 A Major Qualifying Project submitted to the faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfilment of the requirement for degrees of Bachelor of Science This report represents work of WPI undergraduate learners submitted to the faculty as evidence of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, see https://www.wpi.edu/project-based-learning Abstract Kibbutzim of Israel are utopia-driven communal settlements that spearheaded the return of Zionist Jews to Palestine in the early 1900s. Traditional kibbutzim are completely collective, meaning everything is shared equally, but make up roughly 10% of Israel’s 270 current kibbutzim. Political and financial crises compounded throughout the end of the twentieth century to initiate widespread privatization throughout Israeli kibbutzim. The purpose of this project was to assess degree to which the kibbutzim of the southern Arava transformed individually and collectively. ii Table of Contents Abstract ...................................................................................................................................................... ii Introduction ..................................................................................................................................................

  • The Reform Movement in Israel: Past, Present, and Future
    [Year] The Reform Movement in Israel: Past, Present, and Future Laurence Wolff July 6, 2015 Research Paper 13 July 2015 The Gildenhorn Institute for Israel Studies (GIIS) is proud to publish Laurence Wolff’s updated analysis* of the Reform movement in Israel. We will be making it available to all those concerned with religious pluralism in Israel today, and we hope that both its analysis and its recommendations will contribute to the broader conversation about this issue. The GIIS is one of the largest and most active centers for the study of Israel in the United States today. Headed by Professor Yoram Peri, the Abraham S. and Jack Kay Chair in Israel Studies, the GIIS offers 15 courses each year to 500 students, which focuses on five different aspects of Israel: Israeli History, Society, Politics, Culture, and the Middle East Conflict. The GIIS also sponsors conferences, lectures, cultural events, and community forums. It hosts a number of multidisciplinary graduate students each year, and serves as the academic home of the Israel Studies Review, the journal of the Association for Israel Studies. One of the important aspects of the GIIS is sponsoring, conducting, and publishing research on various aspects of Israel Studies. Our signature research project is Israel 2023, a series of three monographs that construct different possible scenarios for Israel as it approaches its 75th anniversary in three broad areas of major concern: Relations between Arab and Jewish Israelis, Israel’s Geo-strategic position, and Religion and State in Israel. The Institute also regularly publishes on its website both original research and translations of important articles that have already appeared in Hebrew.

  • The Most Beautiful and Correct Hebrew”
    “THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND CORRECT HEBREW”: AUTHENTICITY, ETHNIC IDENTITY AND LINGUISTIC VARIATION IN THE GREATER TEL AVIV AREA A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF LINGUISTICS AND THE COMMITTEE ON GRADUATE STUDIES OF STANFORD UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Roey Jaakov Gafter August 2014 Abstract Among Israelis, Jewish ethnicity is usually understood as a dichotomy between Ashkenazi Jews (Jews of European descent) and Mizrahi Jews (Jews of Middle Eastern descent). While this distinction is extremely socially salient in Israel, little is known about how these categories related to linguistic variation. In this dissertation, I explore the interaction of Hebrew phonetic variables with ethnicity, and show that the Ashkenazi-Mizrahi binary hides many meaningful distinctions, both linguistically and socially. I challenge the notion of an ethnolect, and claim that while there is no single distinctive “Mizrahi Hebrew”, certain linguistic features are associated with particular aspects of a Mizrahi identity, and can be used in the construction of specific ethnic personae. My main source of data is sociolinguistic fieldwork in two field sites in the greater Tel Aviv area, which have decidedly different Mizrahi populations: the first is Rosh Ha’ayin, a town whose population is predominantly Yemenite (often described as “the most Mizrahi Mizrahis”). The second is Tel Aviv proper, which has an extremely mixed population. I analyze two consonantal features: the first, pharyngealization, is the feature most stereotypically associated with Mizrahis, but all extant research suggests that it has been lost in the speech of most contemporary Israelis. I demonstrate that contrary to received wisdom, there are still some younger Mizrahis in my sample with robust pharyngealization, but only among the Yemenites of Rosh Ha’ayin, who express overt language ideologies about the link between this conservative linguistic feature and an authentic Yemenite identity.

    UTRECHT JOURNAL OF Federica D’Alessandra, ‘Israel’s Associated Regime: Exceptionalism, INTERNATIONAL AND EUROPEAN LAW Human Rights and Alternative Legality’ (2014) 30(79) Utrecht Journal of International and European Law 30, DOI: http://dx.doi. org/10.5334/ujiel.cm RESEARCH ARTICLE Israel’s Associated Regime: Exceptionalism, Human Rights and Alternative Legality Federica D’Alessandra1 1 Carr Center for Human Rights Policy Fellow, Harvard Kennedy School of Government, United States [email protected] In the context of Israel’s declared permanent state of exception, this article focuses on the legal protection awarded to the Palestinian populations under Israeli control. To broaden the discussion over Palestinian people’s rights, which generally focuses on the confiscation of land and the right to return, the author consciously focuses on anti-terrorism and security meas- ures, which contribute to the creation of what the International Court of Justice has defined as an ‘associated regime’ of occupation. The article is divided into three parts. In the first part, the author discusses Israel’s domestic obligations towards Palestinians (arguing the case of both Palestinian citizens of Israel, and Palestinian residents) and their de jure and de facto discrimination. The second part discusses the applicability of humanitarian law, specifically the applicability of the Fourth Geneva Convention. This section discusses the applicability of the Convention to both territories and people under Israeli control. The third part discusses the applicability of international human rights law to all territories under Israeli control and delves into the issue of the mutual relationship between the two international legal regimes in the territories under occupation.

What is the relevance of gender justice activism to Operation Protective Edge (the 2014 Gaza War) and Israel’s foreign policy? Mizrah. i protests dissipate and disappear when the Israel- Palestine conflict dominates the headlines. This essay connects intra-Jewish racial and gendered dynamics to the 2014 Gaza War. It tracks sequences that began with social protest and ended with elections that bolstered Israel’s political right wing. In between came bloodletting between the Israeli Defense Forces, the Palestinian Authority, and Israel’s neighboring Arab states.
