The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 80,216 words. 2 Abstract The thesis provides a case study for how settler colonialism intertwined with ethno- nationalism to shape social identification in the Israeli town of Kiryat Shemona. Jews from Arab and Muslim lands were categorized by Zionist nation-builders as Mizrahim and disproportionally placed on the geographic and socio-economic margins of Israeli society to Judaise territory, to prevent the return of the displaced indigenous Palestinian population and to provide cheap labour for Ashkenazi settlements. They were excluded from the Ashkenazi-dominated centre of power, yet included as essential members of a militaristic frontier ethos.

  • Reflexive Coexistence and the Discourse of Separation by Regev
    Living in a Mixing Neighborhood: Reflexive Coexistence and the Discourse of Separation by Regev Nathansohn A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology) in The University of Michigan 2017 Doctoral Committee: Professor Stuart Kirsch, Chair Associate Professor Carol B. Bardenstein Associate Professor Damani J. Partridge Associate Professor Amalia Sa’ar, University of Haifa Regev Nathansohn [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0002-7236-4722 © Regev Nathansohn 2017 DEDICATION In memory of Juliano Mer–Khamis (1958–2011), an inspiration that knows no bounds. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I love Anthropology. But loving anthropology is not enough for guaranteeing that one will be able to show their love in the form of a completed research project. It always takes more than that. It is thanks to many people who are mentioned here, and many more that I cannot mention here by name, that I am able to present this dissertation. The completion of this dissertation comes ten years after I started crafting my research proposal, first as a PhD student at Tel Aviv University (TAU) before moving to the University of Michigan (U-M). During that period I met many people who helped me in various ways to develop and improve my research and writing. Some of them had a major role in several critical junctions, but the final decisions, whether successful or not – were always mine. Of the people who shared with me their time, wisdom, kindness and bread I particularly wish to thank Stuart Kirsch, the chair of my dissertation committee, who always pushed me to go beyond what I imagined are my intellectual limits.

  • The Victory Day Celebrations in Israel in the Light of Articles in Russian-Language Israeli Web Portals
    Studia Judaica 23 (2020), nr 2 (46), s. 357–373 doi:10.4467/24500100STJ.20.016.13659 Krystian Propola https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6710-7203 The Victory Day Celebrations in Israel in the Light of Articles in Russian-Language Israeli Web Portals Abstract: The main aim of the article is to present a picture of contemporary celebrations of the Victory Day in Israel from the perspective of reports from Russian-language Israeli web portals. Although the tradition of celebrations dates back to 1950, the Victory Day did not become an official public holiday until 2017. Established on 9 May as the day of remembrance for the veterans of World War II, it resulted from the actions of the Russian-speaking population in Israel on two levels. The first was the political sphere and the activity of immigrant parties, especially Yisrael Beiteinu, in the work of the Knesset. The other was the social activity of local activists. However, both of these factors would not have been so effective if it were not for the reports of Russian-language Israeli media, in particular web portals. Although the arguments of the journalists associated with the portals were not always fully justified, their work contributed to the in- creased interest in the issue of veterans in Israel and Victory Day celebrations. Keywords: Victory Day, Russian-language web portals in Israel, Victory Day Parade, media, Russian Jews. Słowa kluczowe: Dzień Zwycięstwa, rosyjskojęzyczne portale internetowe w Izraelu, Parada Zwycięstwa, media, Żydzi rosyjscy. Introduction The influx of Russian-speaking immigrants from the lands of the former Soviet state caused irreversible changes in the social sphere of Israel.

  • Dbs at Rambam
    ISSUE No.4 SEPTEMBER 2009 Rambam Health Care C a m p u s on Call MEDICAL ETHICS A person who seeks medical care hopes for and expects intelligent, compassionate and ethical problem-solving skills from the physician. This expectation is grounded in the elevated behavioral norms to which physicians have held themselves going back in history at least as far as the Hippocratic Oath. The spiritually and psychologically wide-ranging 12th or 18th century CE Prayer of Maimonides – historians dispute the date and authorship – revised and expanded upon that ancient oath. In the wake of the gross perversion of medicine practiced by Nazi-German physicians and scientists, the international community produced a flurry of documents re-codifying the norms of civilized behavior: the Nuremberg Code of Ethics on Medical Research (1946), the UN Declaration of Human Rights (1948), the UN Declaration of Pictured at Rambam are, L to R, guest surgeon Dr. Mark La Meir, Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Academic Hospital, the Rights of the Child (1959), and two World Maastricht, the Netherlands; Dr. Avishai Ziser, Director of the Cardiothoracic Anesthesia Unit, RHCC; and Dr. Gil Bolotin, Medical Association (WMA) edicts – the Director of the Department of Cardiac Surgery, RHCC.

  • President's Report 2014 –
    From the President Concern for man himself and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavors, concern for the great unsolved problems … in order that the creations of our minds shall be a blessing and not a curse to mankind. Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations. Albert Einstein, address at California Institute of Technology, 1931 British Prime Minister David Cameron in a message celebrating Israeli Science Day, recently said, “The work of your scientists is helping humanity in some truly profound ways.” Albert Einstein's words to the students at the California Institute of Technology more than 80 years ago are an apt legacy, written to epitomize modern Israel and its "technological endeavors". Indeed, they are echoed in PM Cameron's recent words. From saving the lives of Syrian soldiers and civilians, to exporting life-saving and life-enhancing technologies, to actively fighting hunger and drought, Israel, with the Technion as a frontrunner, has pioneered developments that are a blessing to mankind. We are determined that we will maintain and enhance this orientation despite the increasingly difficult challenges that we face as a country and as an institution. National and International Challenges This is my first report to you in my second term as president and as such it will reflect on the past as well as the future. My first term was a remarkable adventure – filled with previously inconceivable challenges and accomplishments. Most dramatic of all was the Technion's entry in a major capacity into the global arena. The opening of the Technion to both New York and China within my first term of office resulted in a brand-new reality – one which we needed to create on the fly.
