Summary/Abstract |
The involvement of Jews in the much-publicized May 2010 Mavi Marmara incident at sea, is but one instance of many that illustrates Jewish collusion with Israel's detractors and defamers. While their numbers remain relatively small, the impact of such Jews in fostering a public rhetoric of anti-Israel vilification is growing and needs to be taken seriously. The current propaganda war against the Jewish state is, among other things, a language war, and close scrutiny of today's anti-Zionist discourse is essential.

Summary/Abstract |
Is there a place for military heroes in a post-heroic era and during post-heroic warfare? This article, focusing on the role of the media, especially popular media, in the construction of military heroes and heroism in twenty-first century Israeli society, suggests that, at least within the media, such heroes still play an important role. Based on test cases, among them the 2010 Mavi Marmara affair, the article presents and analyses journalistic professional considerations and practices involving stories about military heroes and explains how items about heroes and heroines correspond with the various requirements of the media. The article also analyses the use of social media in the construction of a new type of ‘folk hero’, who is often a controversial and disputed kind of hero, such as in the case of the soldier who shot and killed a wounded Palestinian terrorist in Hebron.

Summary/Abstract |
his essay reviews the "YouTube war" over the deadly raid on the Mavi Marmara in light of Israel's recent forays into social media. It explores the implications of state use of grassroots media platforms, examines the widespread perception that this has been a fiasco thus far for Israel, and critiques general claims that the rise of Web 2.0 entails a democratic "leveling" effect in information wars like that over Israel-Palestine.
