“…The dominant sense of national attachment has been considered as revolving around the country's contemporary and future existence as a Jewish state (Arad & Gal, 2006, p. 4) 32 thus depriving non-Jewish Israelis from social inclusion. By virtue of Knesset legislation, Jewish cultural characteristics are found in the public domain (e.g., the Hebrew calendar, observation of kashrut; the Jewish dietary law and Jewish holidays by state institutions 33 and by the IDF; Rubinstein, 1967;Yadin, 1951). Such Jewish religious rules turned Israeli laws to become social norms in Israel.…”

This article discusses the changing nature of the Israeli identity and core values against the backdrop of political and social processes that took place in Israel in recent decades. Special attention was given to manifestations of collective victimhood within the framework of the Israeli society and politics and the way the latter obstructed social inclusion of Arab Israelis and of acknowledging commonalities between Jewish and non-Jewish Israelis.

This Article tells the story of two legal cooperation projects established by the Israeli Ministry of Justice in the 1950s and 1960s. The Article argues that the history of these projects can suggest a new way of understanding the process of legal transplantation. Much of the literature on legal transplants focuses on the legal norms transplanted. This Article seeks to shift the focus of the debate from a discussion of the legal norms transplanted to a discussion of the social acts involved in the process of transplantation. The Article argues that while transplantation may be motivated by practical considerations, such as the desire to obtain foreign norms which are deemed superior to local law, it is sometimes also a process of signaling. The two legal cooperation projects discussed in the Article, it is argued, were, to a certain extent, signaling devices used to communicate to Israel's potential allies the fact that Israel was part of the civilized world, * I would like to thank

It is generally assumed that English directors have acarte blancheprivilege to engage at arm's length in transactions involving securities of a corporation which they manage. Thus directors of English corporations may utilize inside information for their personal benefit at the expense of their trading partners. This assumption is derived from the calamitous decision ofPercivalv.Wrightwhich, subject to illusory limitations imposed byAllenv.Hyatt, is still believed to be the law in England today. Israeli directors, it is believed, share thiscarte blancheprivilege with their English counterparts. This belief derives from the fact that Israeli courts resort to English jurisprudence, when necessary to fill in the gaps which are found to exist in Israeli law.This paper questions the validity of the above assumptions. It is an attempt to evaluate whether or not an English or Israeli director, or another insider, may indeed utilize inside information to trade in the securities of his corporation without regard to rules governing fiduciary relationships and other legal principles, which, it is submitted, the English judiciary and bar have thus far overlooked.
