  • Israeli Media Self-Censorship During the Second Lebanon War
    conflict & communication online, Vol. 18, No. 2, 2019 www.cco.regener-online.de ISSN 1618-0747 Sagi Elbaz & Daniel Bar-Tal Voluntary silence: Israeli media self-censorship during the Second Lebanon War Kurzfassung: Dieser Artikel beschreibt die Charakteristika der Selbstzensur im Allgemeinen, und insbesondere in den Massenmedien, im Hinblick auf Erzählungen von politischer Gewalt, einschließlich Motivation und Auswirkungen von Selbstzensur. Es präsentiert zunächst eine breite theoretische Konzeptualisierung der Selbstzensur und konzentriert sich dann auf seine mediale Praxis. Als Fallstudie wurde die Darstellung des Zweiten Libanonkrieges in den israelischen Medien untersucht. Um Selbstzensur als einen der Gründe für die Dominanz hegemonialer Erzählungen in den Medien zu untersuchen, führten die Autoren Inhaltsanalysen und Tiefeninterviews mit ehemaligen und aktuellen Journalisten durch. Die Ergebnisse der Analysen zeigen, dass israelische Journalisten die Selbstzensur weitverbreitet einsetzen, ihre Motivation, sie zu praktizieren, und die Auswirkungen ihrer Anwendung auf die Gesellschaft. Abstract: This article describes the characteristics of self-censorship in general, specifically in mass media, with regard to narratives of political violence, including motivations for and effects of practicing self-censorship. It first presents a broad theoretical conceptualization of self-censorship, and then focuses on its practice in media. The case study examined the representation of The Second Lebanon War in the Israeli national media. The authors carried out content analysis and in-depth interviews with former and current journalists in order to investigate one of the reasons for the dominance of the hegemonic narrative in the media – namely, self-censorship. Indeed, the analysis revealed widespread use of self-censorship by Israeli journalists, their motivations for practicing it, and the effects of its use on the society.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. The exact Hebrew name for this affair is the “Yemenite children Affair.” I use the word babies instead of children since at least two thirds of the kidnapped were in fact infants. 2. 1,053 complaints were submitted to all three commissions combined (1033 complaints of disappearances from camps and hospitals in Israel, and 20 from camp Hashed in Yemen). Rabbi Meshulam’s organization claimed to have information about 1,700 babies kidnapped prior to 1952 (450 of them from other Mizrahi ethnic groups) and about 4,500 babies kidnapped prior to 1956. These figures were neither discredited nor vali- dated by the last commission (Shoshi Zaid, The Child is Gone [Jerusalem: Geffen Books, 2001], 19–22). 3. During the immigrants’ stay in transit and absorption camps, the babies were taken to stone structures called baby houses. Mothers were allowed entry only a few times each day to nurse their babies. 4. See, for instance, the testimony of Naomi Gavra in Tzipi Talmor’s film Down a One Way Road (1997) and the testimony of Shoshana Farhi on the show Uvda (1996). 5. The transit camp Hashed in Yemen housed most of the immigrants before the flight to Israel. 6. This story is based on my interview with the Ovadiya family for a story I wrote for the newspaper Shishi in 1994 and a subsequent interview for the show Uvda in 1996. I should also note that this story as well as my aunt’s story does not represent the typical kidnapping scenario. 7. The Hebrew term “Sephardic” means “from Spain.” 8.

  • This Passage Appears Towards the Beginning of the Book, After The
    THE CONFESSIONS OF NOA WEBER By Gail Hareven Translated by Dalya Bilu First publis hed in Hebrew by Keter, 200 English translation published by Melville House, 2009 Study guide by Ilana Kurshan ABOUT THE BOOK: This novel is narrated from the perspective of Noa Weber, a 47-year-old lawyer and author who looks back on her life in an attempt to understand her obsessive love for a mysterious Russian emigre named Alek. Noa first meets Alek at a party in Jerusalem when she is seventeen. She falls hopelessly in love with him and becomes pregnant with his child. Alek, who works as a foreign correspondent, is a continuous but elusive presence in her life -- Noa meets him in Russia or Paris whenever he beckons. Noa’s love for Alex, to whom she remains legally married, does not waver throughout various life changes and occupations—the birth of her daughter, Hagar, whom she raises on her own; a stint as a lawyer; and a career as an author of feminist thrillers-- causing Noa to wonder if her love isn't part of some larger yearning. Her story unfolds against the backdrop of Israel's leaders, wars, and its sociopolitical developments, which set into relief the drama of Noa’s own trials and tribulations. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Gail Hareven was born in Jerusalem in 1959. She studied behavioral sciences at Ben-Gurion University and Talmud and Jewish philosophy at the Shalom Hartman Institute. Hareven, a journalist, has written widely on politics and feminist issues. She has been a columnist for Maariv, Hadashot, the Jerusalem Report and Lady Globes, and she also writes book reviews for the Hebrew press.
