A Religious War in Israel's Army - NYTimes.com - 0 views

For Mr. Halbertal, like for the vast majority of Israelis, the army is an especially sensitive institution because it has always functioned as a social cauldron, throwing together people from all walks of life and scores of ethnic and national backgrounds, and helping form them into a cohesive society with social networks that carry on throughout their lives.
The Death of Journalism? (or journalism in the era of open) | eaves.ca - 0 views
-
are we seeing the death of Journalism? I for one, hope so, as it will mean a more profound change may be upon us.
-
What if it is the underlying structure and values of not just the news institutions but also the entities they normally cover that are eroding? What if the value of objectivity and the faith in any opaque structures are dying?
-
Such a transformation, a reshaping of credibility from objectivity to transparency, would have profound implications for every organization – corporate, non-profit and governmental – in our society.

Israeli soldiers say army rabbis framed Gaza as religious war | McClatchy - 0 views
-
Rabbis affiliated with the Israeli army urged troops heading into Gaza to reclaim what they said was God-given land and "get rid of the gentiles" — effectively turning the 22-day Israeli intervention into a religious war, according to the testimony of a soldier who fought in Gaza.

Sarit Michaeli of the Israeli human rights group B'Tselem thinks that the public release of the testimony helped spur the investigation. "There have been many cases where we have asked the advocate general to look into cases, and they drag their feet until it gets into the media."

It is to the great credit of Israel's civil society that issues like this can be aired and investigated. Disturbing questions raised about the IDF's conduct - but they can be raised without people being 'disappeared' for voicing their concerns.

Summer Internship Opportunities - 6 views

House Divided Interns. Professors Pinsker and Osborne are seeking paid summer interns for the House Divided Project (http://housedivided.dickinson.edu). The project concerns Dickinson College and American history in the mid-nineteenth century, but focuses primarily on the use of new digital technologies to present these stories, so that all undergraduates, especially those with advanced technical skills and aptitude, should feel encouraged to apply. Student interns will assist with identifying, digitizing and entering various types of historical materials into an online content management system called Drupal. They will also work with historical maps and images and may be introduced to assignments involving GIS, Google Earth or Adobe Photoshop. Anyone with experience in American history course work or familiarity with these software programs should highlight that fact in their resume or in their cover email. Dana interns on this project receive about $300 per week in stipend for eight weeks in June and July and some interns will also receive on-campus housing. Those interested should send a resume to pinskerm@dickinson.edu by Friday, April 3, 2008. Please indicate in your cover email whether or not you are seeking free on-campus housing as part of the internship.

The Magen Abraham Synagogue sits at center of this photograph taken on Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2008, surrounded by the gleaming new skyscrapers in Wadi Abou Jmil, Lebanon - formerly Beirut's main Jewish neighborhood. One of Lebanon's sole remaining synagogues, this building was set for a restoration that has the rare blessing of all the factions in this divided country - but the global financial crisis has scuttled the effort for now, leaving the Magen Abraham chained, padlocked, badly damaged and overgrown with weeds.
