On 19 May 2016, Prof. Cohen-Almagor was invited to take part in a debate organised by one of the world most distinguished debating societies – The Oxford Union. The debate revolved around the question whether the two-state solution for Israel and Palestine is still viable. The Motion was titled: This House Believes A Two-State Solution in the Middle East is Unattainable.

The Pre-Debate Poll showed: This House Believes A Two-State Solution in the Middle East is Unattainable

41% Aye

59% No

On the pro two-state solution were Prof. Cohen-Almagor , Sam Sussman, an MPhil International Relations student from Pembroke College who is also the founder of Extend, an NGO which facilitates conversations between American Jewish leaders and Palestinians; Yiftah Curiel, Head Spokesperson of the Israeli Embassy in London, and John Lyndon, Executive Director of OneVoice, an international grassroots movement which supports a two-state solution by amplifying the voices of mainstream Israelis and Palestinians.

On the endorsing side of the motion were Manal Cheema, a second-year PPE student also from Pembroke College; Gideon Levy, an Award-winning columnist for Haaretz whose writing focuses on the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza; Salma Karmi-Ayyoub, criminal barrister and external consultant for Al Haq, a Palestinian human rights organisation, and Prof. Padraig O’Malley, a specialist in divided societies and the author of a book I teach titled “The Two-State Delusion: Israel and Palestine – A Tale of Two Narratives.”

The pro two-state solution won by 2 to 1, vast majority endorsing the two state solution. Indeed, any other solution would be far more costly, far more violent.

The official announcement was: Tonight’s Motion: This House Believes A Two-State Solution in the Middle East is Unattainable.

Results:

Aye: 37%

No: 63%

Professor Eric Barendt, Is it legitimate to ban hate speech? (21 November, 16:00-18:00, Wilberforce LT12)

Before coming to UCL, he lectured law at St. Catherine’s College, Oxford.

Dr Rusi Jaspal, “Anti-Semitism and Anti-Zionism in Iran” (8 January 2014).

Anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism constitute two important ideological building blocks of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Yet, there is no existing research into the psychosocial motives underlying the manifestation of anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism at the institutional level in Iran or in the Iranian general population. Here it is argued that there is much heuristic and predictive value in applying tenets of Identity Process Theory (IPT), a socio-psychological model of identity threat and action, to the primarily socio-historical literature on anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism in Iran.

In the first half of the paper, the author provides a summary of anti-Semitism, anti-Zionism and ‘new anti-Semitism’ and IPT. It is argued that (i) anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism may restore feelings of belonging in the Muslim world and beyond; (ii) there are important inter-relations between ingroup and outgroup self-efficacy; (iii) there is a psychological motivation to maintain Shiite ideology and Khomeini’s legacy; (iv) Jews and Israel are constructed and perceived in terms of a threat to group continuity. In the second half of the paper, quantitative survey data, qualitative interview data and qualitative visual and media data are presented in support of these assertions. It is suggested that insights into the motivational principles underlying anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism may inform further empirical research into social representations of Jews and Israel in Iran and potential interventions for mitigating anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. More broadly, this paper highlights the potential contribution of social psychology to existing work on anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism in political science and the humanities.

Dr Rusi Jaspal (M.A., Cambridge; M.Sc., Surrey; Ph.D., London) is Lecturer in Psychology at De Montfort University, Leicester, UK. Dr. Jaspal has published widely on identity, intergroup relations and the media, with a particular focus on anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism in Iran and the Muslim world. His work in this area has appeared in journals such as Israel Affairs, The Israel Journal of Foreign Affairs and The British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies. Rusi Jaspal is co-editor (with Prof Dame Glynis Breakwell) of Identity Process Theory: Identity, Social Action and Social Change (Cambridge University Press, 2013) and the author of Anti-Semitism and Anti-Zionism: Representation, Cognition and Everyday Talk (Ashgate, 2013).

Grants:

£30,000 for three MA Scholarships in Middle East Studies.

£20,000 toward the organization of an international peace conference, at the University of hull (May 2015).

The conference will bring together academics, practitioners, diplomats and politicians who are experts in the field of peace negotiations. The idea is to invite leaders in the field to discuss and probe avenues for peace in the Middle East. Among the questions that this conference will address:

Is two-state solution still viable?
Is the suggestion of three states a viable solution?
Can there be a Jordanian-Palestinian confederation?
Should Israel and Palestine strive for a final status solution or for a piecemeal solution?
Are unilateral steps desirable?
Can other countries provide constructive assistance and how should they be involved?
Who are the potential credible mediators?

In the first instance, active participation will be by invitation only. If needed, a call for paper will be published. We invited President William Jefferson Clinton to lead the conference.

We will invite eight key figures from Israel, eight key figures from the Palestinian Authority, and eight other seasoned practitioners and decision-makers who have experience in peace negotiations.

The international peace conference will be comprised only of plenary sessions. During the conference, experienced experts will present ideas for peace between Israel and Palestine, and workshops will address the sticky problems. There will be one workshop on borders and security, one workshop on Jerusalem and the holy places, and one workshop on refugees.

Each workshop will present a summary of proposals as to how to solve the problem.

The conference will be opened to the public.

The conference will also facilitate direct meeting points for the Palestinians and the Israelis to meet one another and to interact on a personal level. We will organize luncheons, dinners and evening social events for each day of the conference.

The lectures are historical documents. They will be recorded and transcribed.

We intend to publish blogs, newspaper articles, peer-reviewed journal articles, and eventually two books: one an edited volume that will include all lectures; another book will be a monograph on the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and possible proposals for its resolution. We trust the work will be useful to decision-makers, negotiators and implementers of peace.

We expect that this will be a very high volume conference that would attract wide international attention of local, national and international media, scholars and experts on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as well as decision-makers and politicians.

I was able to raise £20,000 for this conference. I need further £40,000 to be able to invite 24 high-profile guests to take part in this important gathering. All advice in this regard is most appreciated.
