עוד פרופ' מהאוניברסיטה העברית מסיתה נגדנו בחו''ל:

והפעם - אפרת בן זאב ממכון טרומן באוניברסיטה העברית (עוד מאחז של השמאל האנטי ציוני), תלמד בסמסטר הקרוב באוניברסיטה בקליפורניה על פשעיה של ישראל ועל גירושם האכזרי של הפליטים הפלסטינים מבתיהם בטיהור האתני הגדול של 1948.

משכורתה של הגברת ממומנת מכספי משלמי המיסים הישראלים.

מה שהסטודנטים בקליפורניה ילמדו ויידעו על מדינת היהודים הוא מה שהגברת תלמד אותם.

השרים בממשלה ימשיכו להתבכיין על הדה-לגיטיציה לישראל, ולהתעלם מכך שהדה-לגיטימציה מתחילה כאן אצלנו בבית, באוניברסיטאות שלנו ובארגוני השטנה של גדודי חללי נעמי חזן במימון ממשלות זרות.

ושר החינוך העלוב גדעון סער ימשיך לגלגל עיניים, להתחנף לשמאל הקיצוני כדי לזכות ב"לגיטימציה", ולצפצף על חברי הליכוד ומצביעי הליכוד. הוא סומך על כך שחודשיים לפני הפריימריז הוא ישמיע כמה הצהרות "ימניות" ושחברי הליכוד הפראיירים ישכחו לו את פעילותו למען גדודי חללי נעמי חזן ויצביעו עבורו שוב. הוא סומך על הזיכרון הקצר של חברי הליכוד.

EFRAT BEN ZE'EV

Prof. Efrat Ben Ze'ev is a research fellow at theTruman Institute, Hebrew University of Jerusalem and also a senior lecturer at Beit Berl College. For the spring 2011 semester, she is teaching at the University of California at Davis. Ben-Ze'ev holds a PHD in anthropology from Oxford University. She is an activist with the anti-Israel organization Ta'ayush. She is the author of Remembering Palestine in 1948: beyond national narratives and Palestinian Refugees of 1948: Remembrances.

In August 2009, Ben Ze'ev wrote an article entitled "The National Trap," which promoted the work of the late Palestinian terrorist Ghassan Kanafani and the Nakba narrative in general. In June 2009, Ben Ze'ev spoke as part of a conference at York University entitled "Israel/Palestine: Mapping Models of Statehood and Paths to Peace," which examined different solutions for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, including a two-state solution, having a single bi-national state, as well as federal and con-federal approaches. However, the speakers list was full of anti-Israel activists such as Ali Abunimah, Jeff Halper, Omar Barghouti, George Bisharat, Nadim Rouhama, Leila Farsakh, etc. And in November 2008, Ben Ze'ev spoke at a Sabeel Conference, which focused on remembering the Nakba.

Elusive Boundaries: Cognitive maps of Palestinians and Jews in Israel today

Abstract: This paper explores the ways in which students in Israel perceive and represent the country's boundaries. It considers both the ways in which the country's outline is sketched as well as the students' reflections on the meaning of these borders. My initial assumption was that within a context of national conflict, boundaries will loom as central in people's mental perceptions. However, the results point to the very opposite; a majority of the maps collected were characterized by a variety of shapes, only vaguely resembling a scientific map, be it of historic Palestine or contemporary Israel-Palestine. This paper will suggest possible explanations to this geographical ignorance and touch on its implications.

The study is based on 400 questionnaires, in which students' were asked to draw a map of "the country" (al-bilad, ha-aretz) and a map of the Middle East. These questionnaires were collected in Israel among Palestinian-Arabs (in Arabic) and Jewish students (in Hebrew) between 2008 and 2010, in high-schools, colleges and universities. In some of the cases, the questionnaire was followed by focus groups and interviews. All in all 400 maps were collected, and 30 interviews and 7 focus groups were conducted.

The initial results point to the convergence of different reasons that explain the ignorance. One evident reason is the ongoing controversy over these borders but even more so, the division between accessible and non-accessible areas within the country, as experienced in daily life. The second reason has to do with the decline of the geographical discipline, which once was prominent; it seems that national-geographical education is no longer salient either in formal or in informal settings. Finally, the postmodernist geographical logic (as described by Foucault, Jameson, Soja) – fragmentary, de-centered, and elusive – resonates in the study's results.
