Since it was first launched in 2005, IAW has grown to become one of the most important global events in the Palestine solidarity calendar. Last year, more than 40 cities around the world participated in the week's activities, which took place in the wake of Israel's brutal assault against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. IAW continues to grow with new cities joining this year. IAW 2010 takes place following a year of incredible successes for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement on the global level. Lectures, films, and actions will highlight some of theses successes along with the many injustices that continue to make BDS so crucial in the battle to end Israeli Apartheid. Speakers and full programme for each city will be available soon.

  • On January 3, Palestinian Security Authorities in the West
    2002 On January 3, Palestinian security authorities in the West Bank city of Hebron descended on the offices of the weekly newspaper, Hebron Times, and ordered its immediate closure, according to CPJ. No official reason was given, but staff from the newspaper alleged that the PNA was responding to US "pressure" to close the paper, which has frequently criticised Israel and the United States' Middle East policies. According to information obtained by RSF, since the beginning of 2002, with some exceptions, the GPO has not renewed press cards for Palestinians working for international media organisations. This decision, which affects journalists living in the Occupied Territories who work in Jerusalem as well as those who both live and work in the Occupied Territories, is said to be for "security reasons“. Without press cards, Palestinian journalists are at the mercy of the Israeli security forces, who have the authority to refuse them access. For example, Awad Awad, a Palestinian photographer for Agence France-Presse (AFP) in Ramallah, was unable to enter Jerusalem on January 14. He was stopped at a checkpoint because he did not have an Israeli press card. On January 15, 29 media organisations in Israeli and Palestinian Authority territories, including Reuters and RSF, issued a joint statement expressing concern and urging the government of Israel to renew accreditation of Palestinian journalists. The new regulation, which went into force on January 1, appears to be designed to prevent fair and balanced coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, coming on the back of a year in which Palestinian journalists had largely been prevented from entering Israel due to the "security situation".

On January 3, 2009, Israel began a ground offensive into Gaza intended to eliminate Hamas’s willingness or capability to launch rockets at Israeli towns and cities. As of January 14, Israeli bombings and ground forces had reportedly killed over 1,000 Palestinians, while 13 Israelis had been killed by Palestinian rockets and attempts to counter the ground invasion. Some Israeli observers have suggested that neither toppling the Hamas regime nor permanently ending all rocket attacks is a realistic goal. Nevertheless, by temporarily disabling Hamas’s military capacity and slowing its rearmament, Israel could ease the frequency and intensity of Hamas attacks in the months ahead as it prepares to deploy new, more sophisticated anti-rocket defense systems.

  • Israël Et Les Territoires Occupés - Rapport Annuel 2003
    http://www.rsf.fr/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=34 Superficie : 20 325 km2 ; Territoires occupés : 7 477 km2. Population : 6 172 000. Nature de l'Etat : le pays est divisé en six districts administratifs. Langues : hébreu et arabe (off.). Chef de l'Etat : Moshé Katzav. Premier ministre : Ariel Sharon. Israël et les Territoires occupés - Rapport annuel 2003 Fin 2002, les négociations politiques entre Israéliens et Palestiniens sont au point mort. Depuis septembre 2000, le soulèvement palestinien, la répression israélienne et les attentats kamikazes palestiniens ont fait plus de 2 850 victimes, pour trois quarts palestiniennes. Cette année a été marquée par une détérioration sans précédent des relations entre la presse étrangère, accusée de partialité, et Israël, déterminé à remporter la "guerre des médias". Sur le terrain, les journalistes, occidentaux, arabes, et plus encore palestiniens, sont quotidiennement entravés dans leur travail. Trois journalistes ont été tués et huit autres blessés par balles alors qu'ils couvraient l'actualité dans les Territoires occupés. Alors que les Américains, soucieux de gagner le soutien des régimes arabes dans la lutte antiterroriste, dépêchent le général Anthony Zinni au Proche-Orient pour tenter de relancer les pourparlers de paix, les troupes israéliennes multiplient les destructions des symboles de l'Autorité palestinienne dans les territoires autonomes. Le 29mars 2002, après une vague d'attentats meurtriers en Israël, le Premier ministre Ariel Sharon envoie l'armée réoccuper les grandes villes de Cisjordanie, et fait fi des appels américains et internationaux qui lui demandent de se retirer immédiatement. Les forces israéliennes ne partiront qu'en mai, avant de revenir mi- juin, avec le blanc-seing de Washington.

The Conference’s deliberations reflected the major issues and dilemmas on Israel’s national agenda in the fields of foreign policy, defense, economics, social policy, governance and Jewish peoplehood. The Conference took place during the period prior to the general elections. The traditional Herzliya Address was delivered by Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, and he, like the other prime ministerial candidates, highlighted the principles that would govern his policy. The Conference also took place on the eve of the Palestinian elections that won Hamas the majority needed to establish a Hamas government. This development, along with others, led to the assessment that arose from the sessions on national security and foreign policy that 2006 would be a year of significant developments and critical decisions regarding the strategic threats facing Israel – the strengthening of Hamas and the looming confrontation with Iran over its nuclearization. Much of the rest of the Conference was devoted to the key domestic issues in Israel, particularly the maintenance of economic growth, welfare policy and the rule of law in the present political system.

  • Analysing Relational Components of Trust in US & Israeli Online Social Networks
    DIGITAL DIPLOMACY & SOCIAL CAPITAL i Digital Diplomacy & Social Capital: Analysing Relational Components of Trust in US & Israeli Online Social Networks Anthony S. Deos University of Otago | Te Whare Wānanga o Otāgo Author Note Anthony S. Deos, Department of Politics | Te Tari Tōrangapū, University of Otago | Te Whare Wānanga o Otāgo. Correspondence concerning the dissertation should be addressed to Anthony S. Deos, Department of Politics Te Tari Tōrangapū, University of Otago Te Whare Wānanga o Otāgo, PO Box 56, Dunedin 9054, New Zealand Aotearoa. Email: [email protected]. DIGITAL DIPLOMACY & SOCIAL CAPITAL ii Abstract For diplomatic relations, the ability to influence through attraction, or soft power, rather than hard power is preferable in the interconnected 21st century global society. Although debate remains regarding the objectives of public diplomacy, the relational approach offers opportunities for reaching the goal of mutual understanding. The emergence of new public diplomacy and the relational approach coincided with extensive innovation in communication technologies. The digital arena became a possible place for outreach, interaction, and the generation of social capital. These limited studies into digital diplomacy initiatives have focused on quantitative measures and structural aspects. However, the mechanisms that provide for social capital development still require investigation. Therefore, questions remain about whether social capital is being generated through digital diplomacy, and if so, how? This research offers a framework for evaluating the development of trust and reciprocity, presumed prerequisites for social capital generation, through four components of relational interaction: access, openness, credibility, and commitment. This framework is then used to investigate the digital diplomacy initiatives of two specific cases—the US and Israel.
