The roughly 200 hostages Hamas carried away at gunpoint were awakened at dawn by the terror of a missile onslaught and faced the darkness of Gaza beneath the thunder of Israeli munitions. ACROSS 75 YEARS, ISRAEL HAS BUILT itself around a military so formidable in battle that the country qualifies as a warrior state. They took Alon, Yarden, and Geffen to a car that went to the [Israel-Gaza] border. [Extracted from the article]

مصطلحات جغرافية: GAZA Strip, PALESTINE, ISRAEL

مستخلص: This article explores the history and impact, from the end of the Cold War to the present, of the intertwined relationships between increased Holocaust consciousness, the rise of moral pedagogies and political rhetorics of anti-antisemitism, and the emotionalization of Western politics and public discourse. The surge of interest in Holocaust memory in the 1990s was closely connected with the new prominence of feelings in that decade, and particularly with the widespread emphasis on empathy with suffering. Deep-seated traditions within Western culture, including within Judaism itself, of ascribing special meaning to Jewish suffering played an important role in the emergence in this decade of "redemptive anti-antisemitism." This outlook, which rapidly attained consensus status in public debate and especially in moralized Holocaust pedagogy, enshrined opposition to antisemitism, understood as the key lesson of the Holocaust, as the key gateway to the overcoming of all hatreds and prejudices. After 9/11 and the outbreak of the Second Intifada, this universalist optimism became increasingly difficult to sustain. With Palestinians and Israelis engaged in intense competition for international public empathy, the emotional authority of anti-antisemitism became entangled with responses to this conflict. The Israeli military assault on Gaza in January 2009 generated particularly intense arguments over the politics of empathy. Since then, in different but related ways in various Western countries, the political and emotional priority accorded to anti-antisemitism has increasingly stood in a rivalrous or antagonistic rather than a solidaristic relationship with campaigns against other forms of prejudice, especially with respect to Islamophobia. The charged cultural and political resonance of appeals to empathy with Jewish suffering can only be understood through a historical understanding of how the emotional fabric of contemporary Western public debate is shaped by the deep roots of exceptionalist thinking about the Holocaust and antisemitism.

Alternate Title: Underground Warfare: Gaza Tunnels versus Israeli Military Strategy. (English)

مصطلحات موضوعية: ISRAEL-Gaza conflict, 2006-, ARAB-Israeli conflict, ISRAELI military, MILITARY strategy, DIGITAL divide, NATIONAL liberation movements

مصطلحات جغرافية: GAZA Strip, ISRAEL

مستخلص: Less armed parties resort to tunnel warfare to reduce military and technological superiority gap with their adversaries. The use of tunnels has prominently emerged since the 1970s by nationalist liberation movements, factions, and other non-governmental forces. Palestinian resistance in Gaza has benefited from this tactic to enhance its military capabilities against Zionist occupation. Over the past two decades, Israel has made destroying Palestinian resistance tunnels a primary objective in its comprehensive wars in the Gaza Strip. This study explores tunnel warfare in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict by tracing the historical development of Gaza tunnels, their types, effectiveness, and military operations, and understanding Israeli military strategy towards these tunnels.

مستخلص: The article discusses the challenges faced by Donald Trump and Joe Biden in winning over centrist voters in the upcoming election. Trump may struggle to attract enough voters and may need to pivot towards the center, while Biden faces the challenge of appealing to diverse sub-groups within the Democratic base. Both candidates are concerned about the close nature of the previous election and the uncertainty surrounding the outcome of the upcoming one. Biden's attempts to appeal to a wide range of supporters have left him without a clear policy message, while Trump is trying to win back alienated voters. The race between Biden and Trump is expected to be close and may surprise people. [Extracted from the article]
