Israel-Egypt Agreements of 1974–1975 in the Context of Regional and International Relations
After the October 1973 War president Sadat had come to realize the United States alone could lead to an Israeli withdrawal from the territories it occupying during the June 1967 War. For although the Soviet Union supplied Egypt with the desirable types and amounts of weapons, Moscow had no impact on Israeli policy. US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger saw the United States gaining clout in the Middle East while pushing the Soviet Union out of th…

A Land of Two Nations
Languages of higher education in contemporary Israel
In Israel as elsewhere, English has become the de facto second language of academic life 1 Spolsky B. and Shohamy, E. The Languages of Israel. Policy, Ideology and Practice. Clevedon: Multilingual Matters, 1999, 165 [emphasis added]
Languages of Science in the Era of Nation-state Formation
This paper presents sociological analysis of the linguistic and cultural identity of two of Israel's most influential and high-ranked universities during their formative years, that were also the de facto formative years of the Israeli state-in-the-making (1924-1948). We argue that the influence of external universal factors on a nation-state was sometimes crucial long before the period characterised by social scientists as an era of globalisatio…
The freedom of conscience and sociological perspectives on dilemmas of collective secular disobedience
In this paper I would like to analyze the transformation of the conscientious objection patterns which takes place in a large number of countries, and Israel (discussed in this paper more profoundly) is one of them. The broadening of conscientious disobedience and the rise in a number of civil society groups that evidently express their disagreement with the state authorities' current policy certainly demonstrate a decline in the extent of the le…
Violating the Mores, Seizing the Guards
This article focuses on the most extensive mutiny in the history of the IDF, which broke out in Atlite Military Prison No. 6 on 9 August 1997. The central role of the army in Israeli political culture accounts for the fact that a mutiny of such extent has never taken place in the IDF military units and prisons. Israel's political culture, which emphasizes the importance of the state and is characterized by weak liberalism, is not a good breeding …
Looking for Pontius Pilate's Footprints Near the Western Wall
This study examined trips to Jerusalem by Russian Jewish tourists who visited Israel during late 1998. The research examines the expectations prior to travel, their actual experiences, and how they related to prior expectations. A content analysis was undertaken of tourist memories and reflective diaries. This analysis was supplemented by personal interviews and by participant observations un-dertaken during the course of Russian-language guided …
Confronting the languages of statehood
This paper reviews sociological analysis of the transformation of the link between language and identity among Soviet Jewish immigrants in Israel, focusing on their common desire for Russian language maintenance after their immigration to the State of Israel. The authors argue that although the immigrants acquire Hebrew quite fast, which improves their occupational perspectives and enriches their social life, the former Soviet Jewish intelligents…
English as a central component of success in the professional and social integration of scientists from the former Soviet Union in Israel
More than 13,000 scientists from the former Soviet Union have arrived in Israel since 1988. The purpose of this study is to analyze certain factors that influence immigrant scientists' integration into the society and academic community of Israel, with special attention to multilingual identity. Previous studies in this field emphasize the significance of Hebrew and juxtaposed Russian with Hebrew; however, in Israel, especially in the educated cl…
Immigrant intelligentsia and its second generation
Cultural clash and educational diversity
Thousands of immigrants who arrived from the former USSR during the past decade have drastically changed the Israeli educational system. However, constituting about 12% of the potential labour force of educators, immigrant teachers represent less than 5% of the actual teaching staff; 69% of immigrant students in the 17-year-old age cohort do not possess a matriculation certificate. This article presents the results of research that studied probab…
The Imprint of the Int fad
Israel Army veterans of kibbutz background who had served in the occupied territories during the Intifada were retrospectively asked how this service affected them. Some common themes were disclosed. Service in the territories deepened understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but increased fear and hate of Arabs. These feelings did not lead to a national extremism, but rather to a rationalistic position demanding a peaceful, political so…
For the peoples of the promised land
PACIFISM AND CONSCIENTIOUS objection in Israel, especially during the period that preceded the Six-Day War (1967), has generally been ignored by Israeli scholars. Only two books touch upon the issue and they were written by scholars outside Israel. These pioneer studies are very important, but they are not comprehensive — only the last chapter of Evelyn Wilcock's Pacifism and the Jews is dedicated to the sketch of the development of pacifism in I…
