    Extractions: Facts on the Ground: Archaeological Practice and Territorial Self-Fashioning in Israeli Society. By Nadia Abu el-Haj. University of Chicago Press, 2001. 352 pp. $52 ($20, paper). The peoples of the Middle East have long waged battles to co-opt history. Since ancient times, communal polities, ranging from small tribal configurations to vast empires, and from closely knit ethnic groups to more inclusive modern nations, have turned to the past to legitimize the present. Abu el-Haj, an anthropologist at Barnard College of Columbia University, explores in this interesting study how archeology has shaped the social and political imagination of Israel and served the aims of the state. The blurb on the back cover of the book by Talal Asad, another anthropologist, succinctly captures Abu el-Haj's project: "She presents the first critical account of Israeli archeological practice while tracing the dynamic relationships among science, colonization, nation-state building, and territorial expansion." Practice or Malpractice?

    Extractions: April 15, 2003 On April 16th, Columbia University will celebrate a "25th Anniversary Silver Jubilee" of Orientalism , a book by Edward Said, emeritus professor and leading spokesman for a the Palestinian cause against Israel. The event enjoys some high-level patronage; the university's provost, Jonathan Cole, will deliver the opening remarks. By celebrating Said's work in this manner, Columbia is endorsing its contents. Why would it do this? Because Said, although not himself a specialist on the Middle East, has laid down the rules on how the region is studied at his university (and on many other campuses too). His radical leftism, his apologetics for militant Islam, and his advocacy of Palestinian violence have become the norm. So paramount are his ideas at Columbia that an endowed chair has been named after him, virtually canonizing his views. Said's influence — especially his obsessive hostility toward Israel — has indeed been pervasive at Columbia. Some examples from its lineup of Middle East specialists:

35. Review Of The View From Nebo: How Archeology Is Rewriting The Bible And Reshapin
    The View from Nebo How archeology is Rewritingthe Bible and Reshaping the middle east.  
    http://www.danielpipes.org/article/13
    
    Extractions: June 2001 Reviewed by Daniel Pipes Dockser, the Wall Street Journal 's correspondent in Israel in 1991-98, spares us yet another journalist's take on Islam or the Arab-Israeli conflict; instead, she does something far more creative and interesting, which is to provide a readable and solid account of recent advances in Middle Eastern archeology. Her title refers to the hill in Jordan from which Moses was said to have viewed the Promised Land before he died; she uses the changes in understanding of that spot as a metaphor for the extensive changes that have taken place in scholarship, as summed up by the Franciscan monk who runs the dig at Nebo: "We are less interested in Moses and more interested in archeology." More generally, she finds a shift away from the two-century-old effort to use archeology to support Biblical tales. More broadly yet, she discerns a pattern of placing ancient Israel in its time and place: "The idea that Israel's history was unique has gradually been giving way to the notion that Israel's past can be best understood in the context of the general history of the ancient Near East." All of this, of course, has plenty of contemporary implications, and Marcus notes these with skill - everything from the commercialization of the Patriarch Abraham's voyage westward to the portrayal of ancient Egyptian rulers. One curiosity is to learn that a producer for the Steven Spielberg animated film

A Jewish general in the Galilee during the revolt against Rome in A.D. 66and an eventual traitorJosephus was also a historian who provided volumes of historical commentaries and anecdotes about almost every area you'll see in Israel. The Earthly Jerusalem, by Norman Kotker (Scribner's, 1972), is a graceful, wryly intelligent history of Jerusalem from earliest to modern times; Jerusalem: City of Mirrors , by Amos Elon, is another highly readable history of that city. Jerusalem on Earth, by Abraham Rabinovich (Macmillan, New York and London, 1988), contains wonderful real-life stories about people in contemporary Jerusalem by one of the Jerusalem Post 's finest human-interest writers. Fiction Israeli writers face the problem of creating a literature in a language that was mainly been used for prayer and religious study for more than 2,000 years. Working in a tradition so long interrupted, writers face many problems.

    Extractions: Volume 47, Number 6 The Digital Middle East Written by George Baramki Azar Arab, Middle East, Mideast and Islam. However, as in any bazaar, let the browser beware. While some sites are gems of useful information, smart design and clever insight, too many others offer virtual junk, information of doubtful value, sometimes presented with glitzy design and supplemented by meaningless, slow-loading graphics that can make your trip on the information superhighway more like creeping through a construction zone during rush hour. The fact is that, behind the hype, the Internet still has some serious shortcomings. While it is relatively easy to access from home or work and its reach is indeed global, the information stream runs broad rather than deep. For in-depth learning, the Web and Usenet are still no matches for even an average library. But hang onto your hats. Most sites have been around for only a year or less, and their numbers and the sophistication of their content are exploding. Given a bit of time, this could be quite a ride. After sorting through those 96 pages, I came up with this brief guide to the best of the Arab and Islamic world. I've focused on the Web, as that is where the most development is taking place, and I've listed sites to satisfy both the serious digital vagabond as well as the person who logs on for short strolls around the cyberblock.

Russian/Ukranian women. Next to the garotas of Rio, Russian/Ukranian women are my favorite partners Israel If any of you ever find yourselves travelling the Middle East, make a stop by Israel. Not only is it a fascinating country from a tourist / historical perspective, but the sex is good, cheap, and plentiful. Legally speaking, prostitution is widely tolerated in "secular" cities (ie..all cities except Jerusalem), and brothels can be found on many streets, doing business out in the open.
