“…Representations of the Mizrahi group observed in Israeli mainstream media in the last few decades emphasized their alleged lack of social abilities, ideology, education, and morality and stressed their liminality in Israeli society (Shiran, 2001; Yadlin‐Segal & Meyers, 2014). Although Mizrahi groups went through a critical ethnic awakening during the 1970s (Frankel, 2008), mass media portrayals of this community maintained their negative tone. Israeli cinema of the 1970s and 1980s, for example, tended to present a stereotypical representation of the Mizrahi community as the “oriental” and the sociocultural “other” (Shohat, 2005).…”

This study focuses on nationality and ethnicity in the context of diaspora and media studies. By exploring the ways members of the Persian community in Israel (migrants from Iran to Israel) negotiate their ethnic Persian identification, I discuss the unique role online spaces play in the community's cultural, political, and social life. I draw on the case study to propose the term “Lived Ethnicity” as a digitally mediated identity construction process that works towards sociopolitical inclusion on two levels. First, as a user‐based participatory process, this type of self‐articulation pushes against cultural and political oppressions on a local–national level, within dominant oppressive discourses of nationality. Second, as a process performed via global online platforms, this type of self‐articulation becomes a unique catalyst for communal expressions that are based on trans‐national cultures and identifications. The study's novelty is its focus on the ways online platforms allow ethno‐national minorities to both subvert oppressive national structures and maintain them, all while taking part in global political and cultural discussions that were relatively closed to them thus far.

This article examines the effects the peace-making efforts of Israeli aviator, restaurateur and peace activist Abie Nathan to promote peace in the Middle East between the 1960s and 1990s had on the Israeli public. Among other initiatives, Nathan flew illegally from Israel to Egypt to start diplomatic negotiations in 1966 and established the offshore radio station "Voice of Peace" (1973-93) which broadcast in English from international waters in the Eastern Mediterranean. His globe-trotting peace activism and humanitarian efforts turned him into an international figure of fascination in Israel and abroad. Departing from treatments that dismiss Nathan's political relevance, this article uses the concept of "nation branding" to argue that Nathan's choices as an activist both defined and defied the limits of Israeli peace activism: on the one hand, Nathan's activism of spectacle helped Israelis imagine themselves as a peace-pursuing people, without actually mobilizing them to political action. On the other hand, Nathan repeatedly tried to push his compatriots to recognize the legitimate claims of the Palestinian people, putting him at odds with Israeli authorities.
