Etienne Political geography master thesis 3 The influence of multilingualism on the aggressive expression of othering among Jewish Israelis Tom W. Etienne Political geography master thesis i The influence of multilingualism on the aggressive expression of othering among Jewish Israelis ABSTRACT Great amounts of academic research have been conducted on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as well as on the precarious state of the Israeli society itself. Any research, however, that offers insight in even a small portion of what contributes to the conflict, on what it causes or may temper it, seems welcome. From its establishment onward, Israel has known internal tensions, where the differences between language groups supersede linguistic differences greatly. Othering processes (Van Houtum & Van Naerssen, 2002) are widely seen and even politically and judicially pushed, often along religious lines, but often along (highly parallel) linguistic breaking lines. Although Israel is legally defined as a bilingual state, where both Hebrew and Arabic are official languages, they are culturally and spatially segregated, being explicitly linked to the Jewish and Arab population of the region.

  • 2016 Annual Report
    Dear Friends We are proud to present you with NATAL's 2016 Annual Report. This report covers all activities over the last year within every unit, including relevant data, trends, special events and more. It is a great opportunity for us to extend our thanks to all of NATAL's staff, therapists, and volunteers who have all done some very impressive work and continue to exhibit great professionalism and commitment to NATAL's mission. Over the past year the wave of terror attacks which began as indiscriminate stabbings across the country grew to include two serious shootings in central Tel Aviv and claimed the lives of many civilians, while simultaneously leaving many more wounded both in body and soul. During these times NATAL operated within its emergency mode, with the Helpline operating 24/7 in order to answer the great influx of callers seeking support. At the same time we unveiled NATAL's new online chat service which similar to the Helpline, is operated by a group of dedicated and trained volunteers. This year NATAL established its first Public Advisory Board, led by former IDF Chief of Staff, Major General (Res) Benny Gantz. The board includes prominent Israeli public figures, artists, journalists and representatives of students and youth in Israel. The purpose of the Public Advisory Board is to accompany NATAL as it continues to fulfill its mission within Israeli society, to help and raise awareness about the issue of trauma due to terror and war, and to support NATAL's position as a leading professional knowledge center in the world.

This Pesach really lent itself to a good overseas trip with two long weekends and the well-placed Chagim. On looking through "Places not yet Visited," Italy stood out. So near — only a 3-hour flight - and with all the components for a great holiday. I called my friendly travel agent and in no time had arranged a lovely apartment for four nights in the heart of Tuscany — Rada in Chianti - you've probably never heard of it (neither had I!!!). We landed in a great setting with beautiful views, lovely walks, quaint towns, and of course, wonderful restaurants of all types and descriptions. It's really a great way to spend a vacation, renting a villa in Tuscany or a room in a villa. In the main, they are not serviced, no food, but reasonably priced and a great base for exploring the whole area. It's only 2.5 hours drive from Rome or Milan and 30 minutes from Florence, where we spent the fifth night.

  • Appendix 1(V) SEIZED DOCUMENTS: TARGETING POPULATION CENTERS in ISRAEL USING UPGRADED 122 MM GRAD ROCKET POSITIONS
    Appendix 1(v) SEIZED DOCUMENTS: TARGETING POPULATION CENTERS IN ISRAEL USING UPGRADED 122 MM GRAD ROCKET POSITIONS 1. On August 11, 2006, during the second Lebanon war, three files were found in the village of Aita al-Shaab in the central sector of south Lebanon. They contained range cards for three 120 mm mortar and 122 mm upgraded Grad rocket fired from positions in the region of Shihin. The range cards were dated December 2005 and were for 122 mm upgraded Grad rockets (with a range of 20 km – 12.5 miles). The range cards belonged to the artillery department of the Nasr Unit, the unit responsible for the area south of the Litani River, and operating under the command of the Jihad Council.1 2. It should be noted that most of the rockets fired at Israel during the war were various types of 122 mm rockets (HE-frag rockets, cluster bombs, and upgraded rockets with extended range). The following data are for an upgraded Grad rocket: 1 The Jihad Council is a department within the Hezbollah headquarters, responsible for building up the organization’s military power and preparing it for emergencies. Hajj Imad Mughniyah, Hassan Nasrallah’s military deputy, heads it. He is wanted by the United States for the many terrorist attacks he has carried out against American targets. In addition, Argentina has issued an international warrant for his arrest because of his involvement in the 1994 bombing of the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires. 2 Upgraded 122 mm Grad rocket Diameter: 122 mm. Range: 20 km (12.5 miles)* Warhead weight: 66 kg (145 lbs) Manufacturer: China, Iran, Russia, Bulgaria * There are also upgraded Grad rockets with ranges of 30-40 kilometers (18- 25 miles), however, the seized range cards referred to rockets with a range of 20 kilometers Firing Position No.

Assessment of Land Use Change Impact on Ecohydrological Parameters Using Remote Sensing in the Sub-Catchments of the Patish Watershed, Israel. MSc. Thesis. Land Degradation and Development Group, Wageningen University. Discharge measurements in the Patish watershed in the Northern Negev region in Israel show a low stream flow, which cannot be explained by hydrological modelling. One hypothesis is that low discharge is caused by changes in land use in the watershed, which influence the rainfall/runoff ratio. This hypothesis was tested by assessing the impact of land use change on Ecohydrological parameters. Change in land use is determined by analysing Landsat images using Definiens®. Soil Ecohydrological properties were derived by field experiments, and taking samples to be analysed in the laboratory.
