| Summary/Abstract |
This article uses the The Lemon Tree by Sandy Tolan (2006) to demonstrate how one type of book, a literary non-fiction book written for popular audiences, can be used in a political science course such as one on the Arab-Israeli conflict. The book concisely presents multiple Arab-Israeli perspectives and enlivens the history and infuses it with both broader and deeper meaning. After a brief summary of the plot, the article gives examples of political science themes for which the book is a useful text: nationalism and the formation of national identity; the relationship between structure and agency; and the search for objective truth. The book also suggests many broad Arab-Israeli motifs. The article explains how the book was used in the classroom, including discussions, guidance sheets, and a longer paper assignment.

| Summary/Abstract |
Israel has very limited indigenous hydrocarbon resources and is located next to the energy-rich Persian Gulf region. This study is divided into two parts. The first part profiles Israel's energy outlook. Specifically, it examine the country's oil and natural gas exploration and potential. The second part discusses the seemingly successful negotiations to export natural gas from Egypt to Israel. This is followed by an analysis of the efforts to export Iraqi oil via Israel (the Mosul-Haifa pipeline) and the attempt to revive the scheme in the aftermath of the 2003 war in Iraq. Finally, the article examines the short-lived experience in exporting Iranian oil to Israel under the Shah and the current status of the Trans-Israel pipeline. The study suggests that regional energy cooperation would benefit all parties and international energy markets. However, such cooperation is unlikely in the near future.

| Summary/Abstract |
The transition from a 'State in the Making' to a sovereign state, based on the
infrastructure of self-rule at the time of the British Mandate, came about
without many tribulations despite the fact that during its formative years the
young Israel was involved in numerous conflicts-both internally and
externally-and a great many challenges and existential threats. This study
sheds light on the formation of frameworks and consolidating patterns of
statehood which were influenced by a strong national ideology which left
its imprint on every aspect of life, including sport. After May 1948, sports
activities in Israel branched out, as did sporting relations with many
countries of the world. As in the days before independence, when matters of
sport were in the service of the Zionist revolution and the nation-building
process, after the establishment of the State of Israel prominent encounters
with foreign sportsmen became a focus of national sentiment uniting all
citizens.
