I’ve recently read Lene Hansen’s Security As Practice. The book offers a methodological framework for post-structuralist discourse analysis.1 I must admit the book got me quite excited, in as much as one may use terms like “excitement” when discussing methodology, and I’m now considering revising (slightly) the goals of my thesis [...]

[note: This article, belatedly published here, was originally written by Idan Landau in his Hebrew Blog "Lo Lamut Tipesh" (don't die stupid), it contains links to several sources. whenever possible I've provided english versions of the links. However, some of the links are for blogs, some for media articles with no available translation. Those links were [...] Originally I’ve intended to write a response to Dotan’s post and wittily call it “Why I Don’t Go”. But then I realized I agreed with what he wrote, and that his reasons for going to the rally are the same reasons that prevent me from going. What makes Dotan feel like he needs to be [...] Can you spell Godwin, boys and girls? That’s right. Utterly and conveniently forgetting the officially sanctioned heroics of Raoul Wallenberg )not to mention the joys brought by thousands of Swedish female volunteers in Kibbutzim all over Israel, gracing lawns and pools with their blessed toplessness), top Israeli ministers, led by Foreign Minister Yvette Lieberman (yeah, no irony there), began screeching that “Just like in WW2, Sweden is standing by in the face of Anti-Semitism.” The papers played along with the hysteria campaign and both high-selling rags, Yediot and Ma’ariv, ran it on the front page in 10 foot block letters. Many a word was written on the topic of the GLBT teen gathering shooting in Tel Aviv. Here, at IsraLeft, we’ve covered the issue extensively: Maital’s words, defined by Chris Geidner of Law Dork as “Crushing”, and then Or’s post explaining why this is, indeed, a hate crime, followed by Elad’s educating post about the [...] It began with text messages, all sorts of baffled messages, one chasing the other, about a shootout in Nachmani St. Who could even think it was in our Aguda1. And then came another message. And another one. And suddenly the cold thought piercing through the mind all the way to the heart: Saturday night, Barnoar2, [...] Two other posts about the Attack on Gay Israeli youth were recently published on this blog: by Or Bareket and by Maital Rozenboim A grave thing happened in Israel last night. A terrible thing happened, in Tel-Aviv of all places. It was vile, but not particularly surprising. Tel-Aviv is considered a gay-friendly city, and that is [...] After yesterday’s shooting there were a lot of fingers pointed towards religious parliament members, reminding them of their harsh words on the LGBT community – anything from calling them an abomination to accusing them of causing earthquakes and calling to treat them as one should treat the swine flu. Some people on the other [...] Something happened in Tel-Aviv tonight, a milestone in the delicate relationship between minority and majority, left and right, and whatever other classifications you may wish to use here. Tonight a man, and I use this word in its broader sense, walked into a basement room in Nahmani street in Tel-Aviv, a years-old location for [...] Israel is currently experiencing a rush of new bills that either passed or are close to passing, that have raised the ire of quite a few Israeli bloggers, but hardly much beyond that. While the media is obsessing over a law that stipulated state-owned land that has been leased to individuals for 98 years actually [...] |
