Is a clash inevitable between Israel and Turkey over Syria? Or can they find a mutually beneficial arrangement? Two heavy hitters, IU's Mike Doran and Haifa University's Dan Schueftan, face off against each other on this crucial issue for Israel's future.

The constant escalation in the Middle East shows no signs of abating. October 7 marks a year since Hamas viciously invaded southern Israel, while October 8 is a year since Hezbollah started firing rockets into the north of Israel in support of Hamas. A year of unspeakable violence in Israel, Gaza and now Lebanon, rounded off by Iran firing some 200 ballistic missiles into Israel this week. A year of deaths and destruction for Palestinians, Israelis and Lebanese people.In this unique episode Women Leaders is building a bridge: Fania Oz-Salzberger, Professor of history at Haifa University and renowned public intellectual, and Roula from Beirut — her name for security purposes — join Ilana Bet-El In a fascinating, passionate and hard hitting episode.

Rivka Ravitz may be a long-time Haredi political thinker, but that doesn't mean she thinks politics is always the answer.Since her father-in-law first employed her in the Knesset at age 18, Rivka has spend decades working in Israeli politics. She was chief of staff to President Reuven Rivlin and a senior fellow at the Jewish Public Policy Institute; now she is chief of staff to the mayor of Bet Shemesh.Rivka is intimately involved in the personal and political sphere of Haredi life—a focus of her PhD, which she is pursuing at Haifa University.Now, she joins us to answer 18 questions on Israel, including Israeli politics, the Haredi draft, and Israel as a religious state.This interview was held on Sept. 24.Here are our 18 questions:As an Israeli, and as a Jew, how are you feeling at this moment in Israeli history?What has been Israel's greatest success and greatest mistake in its war against Hamas?How have your religious views changed since Oct. 7? What do you look for in deciding which Knesset party to vote for?Which is more important for Israel: Judaism or democracy?Should Israel treat its Jewish and non-Jewish citizens the same?Now that Israel already exists, what is the purpose of Zionism?Is opposing Zionism inherently antisemitic?Should Israel be a religious state?If you were making the case for Israel, where would you begin?Should all Israelis serve in the army?Can questioning the actions of Israel's government and army — even in the context of this war — be a valid form of love and patriotism?What do you think is the most legitimate criticism leveled against Israel today?Do you think the State of Israel is part of the final redemption?Is Messianism helpful or harmful to Israel?Do you think peace between Israelis and Palestinians will happen within your lifetime?Where do you identify on Israel's political and religious spectrum, and do you have friends on the “other side”?Do you have more hope or fear for Israel and the Jewish People?

The Burn Bag will be covering the Israel-Gaza War over the course of several episodes, sourcing multiple perspectives on the conflict. The Burn Bag does not officially endorse any views expressed by our guests, but rather brings those perspectives to you, the audience, and will continue to provide a diverse array of voices on the program. In this episode, A'ndre introduces Uri Bar-Joseph, professor emeritus at Haifa University and author of the new book Beyond the Iron Wall. Together, they delve into the security failures that led to the October 7th attacks, considering why Israel's security apparatus was caught off guard and what lessons can be drawn from historical events like the Yom Kippur War. Uri argues that Israel does not have an overarching  strategy in its War in Gaza nor with its actions in Lebanon. Uri discusses the complexities of Israel's "security lifestyle," his reactions to the recent pager attacks targeting Hezbollah, the Israeli government's perceptions of Hamas, and the broader political landscape. Uri also talks about why he believes the Israeli government is averse to political resolutions and the challenges posed by settlements in the West Bank, in addition to his criticisms of Benjamin Netanyahu's handling of the war and the broader Israeli-Palestinian relationship. This insightful conversation aims to unpack the reasons behind recent events and ponder the future of Israeli-Palestinian relations.NOTE: This episode was recorded on September 19, several days before the escalation in Southern Lebanon.

US President Joe Biden has promised Israel "ironclad" support amid fears that Teheran will respond to the last week's attack on the Iranian embassy compound in Damascus. On Wednesday, Iran's leader said the Israeli attack in Damascus was equivalent to an attack on Iran itself. "When they attacked our consulate area, it was like they attacked our territory," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a televised speech. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Dr Thamar Gindin , an expert on Iran from Haifa University's Ezri Center for Iran and Persian Gulf states and asked her  how the possibility of an Iranian strike on Israel is viewed in Iran.  (Photo:AP)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Minorities in cities worldwide confront disparities, advocating for rights within a dynamic interplay of urban planning and constitutional legal frameworks. How does the coevolution between planning and legal frameworks shape the status of minorities?  This lecture will dissect the coevolution of British constitutional rights and the status of minorities in the urban planning of London, post-WWII. It will explore how planning practices embed minority rights, shedding light on the transformation of political and legal frameworks into urban planning, and assessing their impact on state-minority relations. Orwa Switat is a visiting scholar at the Department of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning at Tufts University. He is a scholar, practitioner, and activist in the realm of state-minority relations in urban planning.

She is the producer of Iranian Progressives in Translation and socialistfeminism.org.Editor's Note (12/13/23): At multiple points in the conversation, the panelists refer to the accusations that Hamas fighters committed acts of mass sexual violence during the Oct. 7 attacks. While Israeli officials and media outlets have repeatedly affirmed the veracity of these accusations, Israel has not provided requested information to journalists and even to officials at the United Nations attempting to independently investigate and verify the accusations. As Mondoweiss reported on Dec. 8, 2023, “Lurid stories of gang rape, mutilation, and even necrophilia, have been disseminated by the media. This has occurred despite there being no substantive developments in evidence of sexual assaults from the Israeli occupation forces. Israel has repeatedly failed to provide forensic evidence, concrete photographic evidence, or victim testimonies to news organizations beyond inferences made by Israel's forensic teams. Indeed, the Times of Israel alleges that the IOF will never provide forensic evidence because ‘physical evidence of sexual assault was not collected from corpses by Israel's overtaxed morgue facilities,' and it is now, reportedly, too late to collect conclusive evidence… Israel's secrecy remains deafening; the IOF exclusively screened a 47-minute compilation of ‘raw footage' to invited journalists, as opposed to sharing the footage with news agencies to report on and verify independently (Al Jazeera journalists, notably, were not invited to attend). Amongst those invited, journalist Owen Jones saw no ‘conclusive evidence' for torture, sexual violence, rape, or beheadings. Furthermore, despite calling on the UN to condemn Hamas's acts of sexual violence, Israel refuses to cooperate with a UN commission of inquiry into sexual violence committed by Hamas on the ludicrous basis that the UN has ‘an anti-Israel bias.'” Due to the dearth of such evidence provided to journalists by Israeli officials, TRNN can neither confirm nor deny the substance of these allegations.Studio / Post-Production: David HebdenHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer:Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-podSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/newsletter-podLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnews

Like, it's impossible to do high quality work in that kind of a patient. Jaz's Introduction:Hello, Protruserati. I'm Jaz Gulati, and in this Group Function where we just focus on one theme, today's big topic is "Help! My patient Can't Open Their Mouth!" And you'll be amazed with some physio with some exercises with some training if you like your patient can actually open significantly more allowing you to do better dentistry and allowing the patient to get better outcomes. We're joined today by our first ever Israeli guest Dr. Greenbaum who is a physiotherapist who specialized in the area of TMD and he'll be coming soon to the UK. So I thought ahead of his visit, let's talk about a really important topic that I think is going to help you guys in the real world where our patients are struggling to keep their mouth open. What causes this and how can we get involved either just by yourself or working in tandem with a physiotherapist? Let's join the main episode now and I'll catch you in the outro.

And this is exactly what it's about, pain and discomfort. And I'm going to really try and extract all the knowledge and experience that you have. But just share with the Protruserati listening right now, what is your background? How did you niche into rehabilitation of temporomandibular disorders and psychogenic and in that area? [Tzvika]Well, my bachelor's degree was back in 2004 in Haifa University in Israel. And after that, I headed up to Australia, South Australia to learn a master's degree in musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapy and a very well-known degree. But in that degree, I started to get into the topic of cervical spine. Upper cervical spine rehabilitation of patients with headaches. It was a new thing for physiotherapists to rehabilitate patients with cervicogenic headac...

Dr. Ilan Dar-Nimrod is an Associate Professor at the School of Psychology, University of Sydney. Ilan has completed his BA with a double major at Haifa University and his MA and PhD (social psychology) at the University of British Columbia. Ilan's main research focus is social cognition – the manner in which our social world affects our cognition. Within this focus, he concentrates on understanding how a deeply rooted psychological mechanism – Psychological Essentialism – is involved in categorising people into groups, leading to a host of effects on people's beliefs, emotions, and behaviours. In addition to this main line of research, he maintains ongoing research foci on a number of topics, such as existential social and clinical psychology, sexuality, gender psychology, and the psychology of religion. His research on this topic appeared in myriad of prestigious journals, such as Science, Psychological Bulletin, Nature Human Behaviour, and Genetics in Medicine.

After five days of exchanging blows, Israel and the minor but well-equipped Gaza-based organization Palestinian Islamic Jihad stopped this particular round, another in a seemingly endless series. As expected, both sides issued self-serving claims of victory. Obviously, propaganda and politics aside, they each have different standards by which to measure their respective balances, as does the major force in Gaza, Hamas - but what are the more objective lessons learned from this confrontation, in the military and diplomatic realms?

Episode: In this episode, Kyle and Chris chat with Shlomit Bechar of Haifa University about her recent book Political Change and Material Culture in Middle to Late Bronze Age Canaan (Eisenbrauns 2022). We tackle the topic of how changes in the material culture relate to political events (in particular the expulsion of the Hyksos from Egypt and Thutmose III's campaign to Canaan), the excavations at the mega-site of Hazor, the challenges in defining archaeological periods, literary archives in Hazor, and we even hear about Kyle almost finding the long-sought archive at Hazor. We also hear about Shlomit's new project excavating in the lower city of Hazor. Guest: (from the Univ. Haifa website) Shlomit Bechar is a senior lecturer at the School of Archaeology and Maritime Cultures at the University of Haifa. She is the director of the excavations in the Lower City of Tel Hazor in the Upper Galilee. Shlomit specializes in ceramic analysis to ask questions relating to social differentiation, interconnections between different cultures, trade relations, economic change and challenges, and more recently to identify methods of resilience to climate change. She combines the study of pottery and architecture with geochemical and geophysical aspects, environmental considerations, economic processes and the wider socio-political context, while leading and joining several interdisciplinary research projects. Her current projects examine the interactions between humans and environment in wetlands, focusing on the inland wetland of the Hula Lake, identify the creation of memory and narratives through archaeology, and study the daily life of people in the Middle and Late Bronze Age.

Zvi Koenigsberg var med Adam Zertal da han fant Josvas alter på Ebal-fjellet. Siden den gang har han vært lidenskapelig engasjert i bibelsk arkeologi. Denne gang møter vi Zvi i Jerusalem hvor han forteller om hvordan han var med å finne tydningen av en amulett som ble funnet i løsmassene fra Zertals utgravinger ved alteret på Ebal. Betydningen av denne oppdagelsen skulle vise seg å være svært betydningsfull. Ikke bare var det en forbannelsesamulett fra forbannelsens fjell, men den inneholder det eldste funnet av hebraisk skrift. Det bekrefter også Adam Zertals funn og forsterker betydningen av dette stedet.

Saudi Arabia's Prime Minister and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, world-renowned with his own acronym MBS, has an ambitious program and only eight years remaining to implement it. MBS calls it “Vision 2030” and is marketing its main features in terms intended to appeal to Western decision-makers and publics. He talks about weaning the Kingdom's economy of its dependence on oil, on social transformation, on Women's participation and sustainability. The Saudis have also tried to attract global attention by signing Portugal's soccer star, Cristiano Ronaldo, to a contract worth hundreds of million dollars. Diplomatically, Riyadh is dancing around between Washington and Beijing, Jerusalem and Tehran. How successful is he, and what may lie ahead for him and his desert country? Panel: - Host: Col. (Res.)

Inna Braverman, co-founder and CEO of Eco Wave Power:“Offshore, the waves don't move in one direction. Your equipment can get hit by waves that are 20 meters in height. Near the shore, there's a phenomenon called wave run-up where they actually build near the shore, and they're all heading in one direction. The sector should start where it's simple, and move from there.”  - Inna Braverman, explaining why shore waves are the simpler clean energy solution.

For the last 17 years, Israel has been out of the Gaza District, having unilaterally left it under Palestinian rule. For 15 of those years, Hamas has controlled this jam-packed narrow territory and its two million inhabitants. And for 11 of those, the leader of Hamas and therefore of Gaza has been Yahya Sinwar, a tough operative Israel was forced to release from jail in a prisoner exchange deal. Hamas is careful not to trigger another major Israeli operation against it, but Sinwar has inspired terror attacks by individuals penetrating Israeli cities from the West Bank. And part of the frustrated public response was a call for Israel to renew the tactic of assassination, targeting Sinwar in particular. Has that helped to de-escalate the tense situation, or only pushed Sinwar to show that he cares for the Palestinian and Moslem causes more than he does for his personal safety?

Earlier this month, the European Union convened in Brussels a meeting of representatives of mostly Arab and European nations and organizations, along with the United States and Japan. The agenda had to do with the humanitarian situation in Syria and the country's political future, as well as the determination to keep fighting Daesh (Islamic State); but absent from the conference were three major players in the deadly Syrian game - Russia, Iran and Israel. The complex relationship in this triangle and its impact on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime is the focus of this episode.

Denne gang besøker vi Shay Bar på Haifa University. Han var en av Adam Zertals elever, og under Zertals ledelse var han med på mange av utgravingene i Manasseh området. Sammen med Zertal har han også forfattet flere av rapportene fra dette arbeidet. Etter Zertals død i 2015, fortsetter Shay Bar dette arbeidet. I dette intervjuet får vi litt mer innblikk i det som har med oppdagelsene av de fot-formede formasjonene som ble funnet blant annet i Jordan-dalen. Man mener at disse er det som Bibelen navngir som Gilgal. Dette arkeologiske arbeidet blir sponset av Israelkanalen, på bakgrunn av at vi ser at dette arkeologiske arbeidet bekrefter Guds ord i Bibelen.

March 15th is indeed the Ides of March in Syria. Mars, the God of War, descended on Syria on this date eleven years ago and has never left, though he is also busy in Ukraine and other places. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad managed to cling to power for more than a decade, first with help from Hezbollah and Iran followed by Russia after 2015. Earlier this month, representatives of the United States, the United Nations, Arab and European countries called once again for a ceasefire, humanitarian measures to alleviate suffering, war crimes proceedings and above all - a political power-sharing settlement, but there seems to be little progress, as Assad and his sponsors insist on purging remaining pockets of resistance to the regime. Where do the various actors, including Israel, stand as they mark this sad anniversary? Panel: - Jonathan Hessen, Host. - Amir Oren, Editor at Large, Host of Watchmen Talk and Powers in Play. - Col.

Orna is a significant figure in the Israeli high tech ecosystem - the first woman to serve as Chief Scientist and Head of the Industrial R&D operation of the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor. She was Vice President of Dell EMC & General Manager of Israel Center of Excellence, and an entrepreneur & business figure in Israeli companies like PrimeSense, Aladdin & Alvarion. Nowadays, she is the Director of Technology at Google Cloud CTO's Office. The American technology magazine Red Herring ranked her as "one of the 25 most influential and important women in the world of technology for 2005".   Orna is the daughter of Yoash Tzidon, former IAF pilot, her mom was a nurse and she has 2 brothers - one is a professor of Economy and the other - a lawyer. Her family was always her source for strength, decency and commitment, and it led her through her career to a meaningful contribution by creating diverse opportunities. Technology was always in their house.    Orna received MA and BA degrees in Statistics and Mathematics from Tel Aviv University and Haifa University, respectively. In 1980, she joined the University of Southern California (USC) in the United States and earned a PhD in Computer Science in 1986.   After a career in several tech companies, in 1993 she co-founded ORNET - Data Communication Technologies, in Carmiel - she wanted to bring the business into the periphery of Israel. Already then, Orna wanted to recruit diverse employees & talents. Orna took part in growing the VC sector in Israel, and for her - it was always about creating great partnerships with great people and being curious.    “I'll die from curiosity. I'm always trying new stuff. I could not envision the technological developments. I could not envision the market's development. I could not envision leaving the academy and I could not envision that I'll become Chief Scientist.”   Orna sold Ornet to Siemens in 1995.    They approached her to become Chief Scientist twice and she said no - then they pulled the Zionism card, and it worked. She got divorced that year, getting out of a domestic violence relationship. She asked her children for their opinion, and her daughter Yael said: “In this house everyone does what she wants”. And that paved the way for a personal and professional change. With her children, the rules were part of the “enablement game”  - allowing each other to grow and develop through a strong partnership - as they are in it together.    Orna remembers she took a day off to celebrate her daughter's birthday, but then there was an emergency call from Sheba hospital's COO - Zeev Rotstein. So she brought her daughter with her and it ended in forming new initiatives for Rambam & Sheba.   She then spent 10 years at Gemini VC working with outstanding people. She learned she only loves working with people who want to work with her and accept who she is.  In her recent 72nd b-day, her son, Amit, reflected to her  -”you never try to please anyone”. That is a meaningful reflection that has led Orna throughout her career. She always believed equality comes from people who work shoulder to shoulder.   She made another change - when she was 61+1 day - Leading the EMC excellence center in Israel. Couple of months ago - she stepped into her new position at Google Cloud.   It was 2015, when she discovered she had cancer, and it was a “death sign on the wall”. She understood she's going to face a difficult time and many struggles. Her HMO did not want to approve the drug she needed, and later - although they say “the patient is in the center '' - it doesn't seem nor feel that way. As a scientist - she understands how crucial it is to make the data accessible and draw a holistic view of the patient. Every struggle she wins - she teaches the voluntary bodies the tricks - so they can help others.   When I asked her - what would the mature Orna say to the young one - she smiled, thought of her teenage grandchildren and said: “focus on your capabilities, desires and in each step also think of the society to create a greater good”.

Welcome to Times Will Tell, the weekly podcast from The Times of Israel. This week a crazy interesting study is published in the Tel Aviv archaeological journal called “The Pentateuchal Dietary Proscription against Finless and Scaleless Aquatic Species in Light of Ancient Fish Remains.” It was co-authored by Ariel University's Dr. Yonatan Adler and Haifa University's Prof. Omri Lernau; we're speaking with Adler. Finless and scaleless fish are prohibited in the Bible, in both Leviticus and Deuteronomy. It appears in both books just after pig is forbidden from consumption. But it seems it was much less observed throughout the land and ages. In the newly released study, the pair of scholars examine all known evidence of fish remains from ancient Judah over the period of some 2000 years to see if the common everyday Judean was actually following this particular Torah law, and if so, from when. This study is part of Adler's Origins of Judaism project, which examines all sorts of Torah laws, including purity, figurative art, and dietary prohibitions, and looks for concrete evidence for them.
