Memoria para optar al título de periodista / Esta Memoria busca analizar y entregar luces sobre la resistencia del pueblo Palestino y los métodos que han utilizado para visibilizar su realidad durante estos últimos años, tal es el caso de la campaña Boicot, Desinversiones y Sanciones (BDS) contra la colonización, el apartheid y la ocupación israelí. Mi interés, más allá del evidente nexo por mi ascendencia palestina, es exhibir desde las comunicaciones, cómo una sociedad civil organizada e informada puede hacer frente a una potencia con amplios recursos y que se ha esforzado desde su origen por instalar una mentira como la única forma de justificar su existencia. Es por esto, que más que ahondar en los aspectos históricos que ha originado esta problemática –que por supuesto estarán presentes-, haré una comparación con hechos históricos similares que ha enfrentado el mundo y que han concluido en soluciones negociadas, gracias a la desobediencia civil y la toma de conciencia por parte de la comunidad internacional. Finalmente explicaré en qué consiste el BDS, sus aristas y cómo este se ha manifestado en Chile, específicamente, en lo referido al Boicot Académico en las principales universidades del país.2 Para concluir con algunas reflexiones y propuestas desde el punto de vista de las comunicaciones masivas en la era digital.

<p>Israel has many meanings that are crucial to the analysis and interpretation of any resolution of the Israel-Palestine conflict. With the Middle East Peace process initiated in 1993, both Jews and Palestinians have begun to rethink their relationship to their homelands. But negotiations take place within an arena where two nations claim one territory, and where one nation also claims a "diasporic" relationship to homeland. Using anthropological and cultural studies' approaches to nationalism, diaspora and the politics of location, I explore how North American Jews construct and experience their relationships to Israel. Traveling on organized Jewish tours to Israel and participating in numerous Jewish community events over a 4-year period, I have /~ < examined how the "Israel" displayed and enacted as a Jewish homeland and nationstate through Israeli nationalist and Zionist narratives is "taken up" or interpreted by I Jews in diaspora. An identifiable, shared, tragic past, and common ancestry helps to l define all Jews as a nation, and Israel as their homeland, but, significantly, not their home. Jews in diaspora envision Israel as the Jews' homeland, and as modem nation state. It is a symbol of the Jews' accomplishments and survival as a nation. But their primary focus is on the relations of nation and feelings of responsibilities towards other Jews. These practices and ideas require a recasting of ideas of "national" identity which assume territoriality, so as to include the practices of deterritorialised identifications with the nation, or what I call "diaspora nationalism.'\ Moreover, I suggest that the" diaspora nationalism" of North American Jews is part of a general post-Zionist phenomenon.</p> / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Approved for public release; distribution in unlimited. / The thesis studies the Israel Defense Forces' (IDF) transformation in the context of the U.S. military transformation. The thesis argues that the uniqueness of the U.S. military transformation does not prevent other militaries from applying the relevant concepts and considers the IDF as a good candidate for such a demonstration. Therefore, the thesis explores the U.S. military transformation as a model to be benefited in the IDF's continuing transformation. The thesis also studies IDF from many perspectives to identify the transformational imperatives and the relevance of the current IDF transformational efforts. Main areas of interest are the Israeli security environment, societal transformation, and the features of the IDF's transformational efforts. During the analysis, the thesis discovers weak points concerning, both, the U.S. military transformation and the IDF's current organization. The examination of the IDF's transformation in relation to the U.S. transformation reveals similarities between the two transformations and comes up with recommendations, primarily for the IDF, but to a lesser extent for the U.S. military. / First Lieutenant, Turkish Army
