"A Year into the Lebanon2 War: NGO-ing Mizrahi-Arab Paradoxes, and a One State Vision for Palestine/Israel"
A TALK BY Smadar Lavie
Hubert H. Humphrey Distinguished Visiting Professor of International Studies, Macalester College
The paper focuses on processes in the Mizrahi communities of Israel post Lebanon2, in the Summer 2006. It discusses the following issues: (1) the NGOization of the intra-Jewish protest after the war; (2) possibilities that Islamist and secularist social justice NGOs in the Arab World could have made overtures that might have wedged open the sloganish Mizrahi solidarity with Israel's Ashkenazi establishment after the war; and (3) the Mizrahi predicament in the one state solution, a scenario that is having its comeback just as the Wall nears completion.
