Israeli settlement expansion in the West Bank
No full textThis thesis focuses on changes to Israeli settlement policy concerning the West Bank and East Jerusalem. This research-based document will focus on various events and factors that helped shape Israeli policy concerning settlements. I investigate the British mandate period from 1917-1948; I investigate how the closing stages of the Six Day War of 1967 gave rise to early settlement activity in East Jerusalem and The West Bank. I record changes to Israel's settlement policy in two phases: from 1967-1994 and from 1995-2020. I argue that the religious nationalist movement, Gush Enunim was largely responsible for increasing settler movement into the West Bank. Furthermore, I show how events in mid-1990's influenced modern Israeli government policy decisions as they relate to settlement expansion in the West Bank The settlement issue is at the heart of conflict between the Palestinians and Israelis. This delicate situation is played out on the international stage and has been a source of contention for all involved. This thesis will conclude with a discussion and assessment on current and future plans that could help solve this seemingly uncompromising situation.https://doi.org/10.46569/20.500.12680/cf95jh46

Fauda: Realism in the Time of Israeli Late Capitalism
No full textFauda, the Israeli TV show that follows a unit of mista’arvim, undercover Israeli operatives who assimilate among the Palestinian population in the West Bank, has been an international hit on Netflix. The show has generated a lot of analysis in the popular press and among scholars, much of it focusing on how it represents Jews and Arabs and whether it offers a fair description of the Arab-Israeli conflict. This article examines the battlefield in which the Israeli agents and their Palestinian counterparts operate not as a site of contesting identities but as a place where brute, physical violence meets advanced cyber technologies as a reflection of the place of modern surveillance technologies in the neoliberal world order
BGU Couple Diary Study, 2018
No full textEighty-seven Israeli cohabiting adult couples were recruited from the general community and completed an initial background questionnaire. Thirteen couples dropped during the study. The mean age for men was 31.4 years (range: 24-68, SD = 10.5) and the mean age for women was 29.4 years (range: 22-62, SD = 8.4). All participants had a high-school education, 63% having completed higher education. The average relationship duration was 7.2 years (range: 7 months to 43 years, SD = 9.1 years), and average cohabitation was 5.1 years. Twenty-seven (35.5%) of the couples were married and 12 (15.7%) had at least one child. All the couples were heterosexual.
At the study initiation, a research assistant introduced the study’s general goal of examining daily processes in intimate relationships. After providing informed consent, participants were asked to complete a background questionnaire. They then receive to their personal email a link to the diary for a period of 4 weeks. The link arrived daily at 8:00 pm, but partners were requested to complete the diary within an hour of going to bed. On average, participants completed 24.3 diaries (SD = 4.01, 86.8% compliance). At the end of the diary couples completed a short follow-up assessment.
Couples received no monetary compensation but participated in a raffle for two prizes (vacation vouchers) worth $140

Between Two Hills: From Hill 24 to Beaufort and the Question of the Political in Israeli Cinema
No full textIn the second half of the 1990s and the early part of the 2000s, Israeli filmmakers tended to focus on family dramas, all but eschewing the social and political themes that dominated Israeli cinema in the preceding two decades. Perhaps in reaction to the Rabin assassination and the terror attacks of the 1990s, which intensified during the Second Intifada, the cinematic gaze seemed to have turned from the battlefield to the home as the site of dramatic tension. Joseph Cedar’s Beaufort (2007), which deals with the Israeli pullout from Lebanon in 2000, followed by two other films that dealt with the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, Ari Folman’s Waltz with Bashir (2008) and Shmuel Maoz’s Lebanon (2009), may have signaled Israeli filmmakers’ renewed interest in the political realm as a sphere of change. By comparing these films to early Israeli war films, namely Hill 24 Doesn’t Answer (1955), this article seeks to assess whether the new direction heralded by Beaufort does indeed indicate a turn toward the political realm or whether these films in fact continue the apolitical trend of recent Israeli cinema
Management of shared groundwater resources : the Israeli - Palestinian case with an international perspective
No full textCo-published with Kluwer Academic PublishersIn many cases groundwater lies beneath boundaries, or is part of a hydraulic system that crosses boundaries. This book explores the options and means for averting conflict and scarce resource depletion through managing shared groundwater resources. In the Israeli-Palestinian case both sides rely on a shared aquifer, the Mountain aquifer, and are embroiled in a long standing highly complex feud. Many see this conflict as a major obstacle for peace between Israelis and Palestinians. The book presents the context, the most important views heard along the seven-year path, and the conclusions reached, which can contribute to similar predicaments that involve resource sharing
Watching \u3cem\u3eFight Club\u3c/em\u3e in Tel Aviv: Or The 2011 Social Protests in Israel, a Political Postmortem
No full textIn his article “Watching Fight Club in Tel Aviv: Or The 2011 Social Protests in Israel, a Political Postmortem,” Eran Kaplan provides an analysis of the ideological underpinnings of the social protests that swept Israel in 2011 and the failure of these protests to bring about actual political change. The article draws on the manner by which David Fincher’s film Fight Club exposes the ideological dimensions of modern, neoliberal consumerist society as a way to understand the driving forces behind the Israeli protests and to suggest a possible way out of the ideological quagmire that the protesters and their leaders were unable to traverse
