“…This group serves as one of the biggest electoral group of citizens, and has powerful positions in the civil society and the government itself. This cohort, as I will further exemplify, for the financial benefits it gets, represent a critical mass in the Israeli civil society and in the government (Etzioni-Halevy, 2000) [17].…”

“…Entering the elite is not easy as the power of the elite is in many ways reflected by its capacity to dictate the terms for entering its space. Fundamentally, conformity to standards of wealth, social background, educational attainment and commitment to the elite's interests and ideology are the basis premises of passing the gates of the group (Parry, 2005 [14]; Lukes, 2005 [16]; Etzioni-Halevy, 2000 [17]; Shapiro and Jacobs (2010) [18]; Shafir and Peled, 2002 [19]; Putman, 1976 [20]). …”

“…According to Lukes (2005) [16], Foucault, in Gordon (1980) [21], Etzioni-Halevy (2000) [17] and Parry (2005) [14] define former military personnel as elite. Furthermore, a key purpose of the elite is the ambition to strive for more power (Parry, 2005 [13]; Nicholls, 2008 [15]).…”

“…Moreover, the army serves as a national academy for patriotic values. Since every 18 years old Israeli has to join the army forces, the society is being exposed to the military values (Etzioni-Halevy, 2000 [17]; Shapiro, 1984 [23]). Hence, when the argument of a threat on Israel is raised, people understand the meaning.…”

“…The issue of the Israeli National Security creates the most useful recruiting argument for supporting the government. Hence, the government maintains financially a large group of people, who belongs in the present and past, directly or indirectly to the national security forces (Shafir, and Peled, 2002 [19]; Etzioni-Halevy, 2000 [17]). This group serves as one of the biggest electoral group of citizens, and has powerful positions in the civil society and the government itself.…”

The purpose of the study is to evaluate two different systems, in the relations between the government and philanthropy. While the one is controlling in regulation, the other is establishing a committee that will standardize philanthropy activities in Israel. I use the Israeli government actions vs. philanthropic activities as a case study to demonstrate my assumptions and conclusions. As far as the government-philanthropy relationship is concerned, Israel is a unique case. In this paper, I will expand on the ramifications of the political system and explain how it influences the government and philanthropy relationship. I will explain the political system in Israel. I will define and describe the military elite and its power in the government and in the civil society. I will then sort out the efforts of the government to preserve its power against the opposition, and further explain the implications on the operation of the foundations in Israel. In summary, I will suggest a possible platform for foundations to actively and positively invest their resources under the current political landscape.

The social work profession is committed to the promotion of peace and social justice. It is often assumed that peacetime enables diverting resources and attention to the promotion of disadvantaged groups. However, little is known about the mechanisms. This study of the Israeli experience following the Oslo Peace Accords suggests that one potential mechanism is the development of social change organizations (SCOs) in the wake of peace. Findings indicate growth in SCO establishment in the periphery and small towns, in vulnerable groups, and in the Israeli Palestinian (Arab) citizen minority group. Implications for social work are suggested.

Media framing in religious–secular conflict in Turkey and Israel

The functioning of the media as a public watchdog and as a neutral forum for society’s different perspectives is a model that is seen as vital in modern democracies. However, in societies with major social rifts these functions may conflict with one another and alter the media’s role. This work contributes to the theoretical discussion of the role of the media, through a study of the media in religious–secular conflict in Turkey and Israel. In recent years, religious parties’ electoral gains have challenged secular communities’ hold on the countries’ decision-making institutions. With the increase in religious–secular political tensions, the media on both sides have taken a central role, highlighting perceived dangers presented by the other side. As the media come to function as the vanguard of the opposing sides, the impact is twofold: loss of an important public watchdog and a deepening of societal rifts.
