		<title>&#8220;If Israel goes down, we all go down&#8221; : &#8220;We&#8221;?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An opinion piece the other day by former Spanish prime minister José María Aznar, originally in the London Times and being distributed everywhere, offers strong support for what he calls Israel&#8217;s role as a democratic bulwark of European culture and criticism of Muslim expansion. The Times is not accessible without registration, so here&#8217;s &#8220;If Israel [...]]]></description>

		<title>Die-in at Israeli Consulate-Boston</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since Israel has confiscated footage shot by journalists on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, the Israeli version of events is the primary one hitting the mainstream media. But even if everything Israel says is true &#8211; which I have no reason to believe &#8211; it&#8217;s hard to figure out why Israeli decision makers decided to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jerusalem &#8220;Neighborhoods&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This Haaretz article is one of many current explorations of Israel&#8217;s persistent efforts to head off US criticism of its planned Jerusalem settlement construction, so-called &#8220;neighborhoods&#8221; across the Green Line:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is criss-crossing the Washington power grid in a bid to explain Israel&#8217;s position on plans to construct 1,600 new housing units in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Toronto and Back</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I expected to be relatively un-busy during my four-month stay in Toronto, but I should have known better. Had I been in blogging mode I would have touched on many things: the course I taught at York University, which focused a critical psychology/anarchist lens on societal institutions; other talks I gave in Toronto on related [...]]]></description>

		<title>Course prep, other things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As usual during long gaps between postings, I&#8217;ve been busy. Most substantively, I&#8217;ve been getting ready to spend the fall semester at York University in Toronto &#8211; drafting a tentative syllabus for the seminar I&#8217;ll be teaching, devising a list of required/optional/recommended books (and reading a few I hadn&#8217;t gotten to yet), making my way [...]]]></description>

		<title>More on Israel&#8217;s democracy/Jewishness conundrum, and my own</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On an NPR talk show this morning about the usefulness of tomorrow&#8217;s Barack Obama-Mahmoud Abbas meeting, Juan Cole was skeptical about progress toward a Palestinian state. One caller went on at length calling Cole an anti-Semite for departing from what seemed to her Israel&#8217;s obviously justified position about, well, just about everything.
Then my email brought [...]]]></description>

		<title>Toronto Course: Psychology and Society in Critical Perspective</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to a Fulbright award, I&#8217;ll be teaching at York University in Toronto for the fall 2009 semester, doing some other talks, and fitting in some Ontario travel. I&#8217;ve only been to Toronto a few times for conferences, so I&#8217;m looking forward to more extensive wandering.
My seminar, for graduate students and advanced undergraduates, is called [...]]]></description>

		<title>Questions for APA on torture and more</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The American Psychological Association&#8217;s actions since the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington have generated swift responses from psychologists objecting to APA&#8217;s role as government agent. Although I hadn&#8217;t been an APA member for some time, in October 2001 Isaac Prilleltensky and I wrote a short statement objecting to APA&#8217;s self-serving response. A month [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hilda Silverman Memorial with Sandy Tolan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just got back from a memorial for Hilda Silverman, a Boston-area activist who died a year ago at 69. I knew Hilda as a mainstay of the local Jewish peace community, relentlessly working to change inaccurate perceptions about causes and consequences, determined to challenge even those she worked with to not lose sight of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Anarchists Against the Wall on tour, on theory, in practice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I neglected to post anything two weeks ago when Shachaf Polakow of Israel&#8217;s Anarchists Against the Wall came through Boston on a fund-raising tour. (Since Israel has started arresting rather than simply tear-gassing and shooting Israelis and Palestinians engaged in non-violent anti-Occupation efforts, legal costs have escalated beyond $100,000. If you can, help; the money [...]]]></description>
