The Oct 7 events & heartbreaking devastation in Gaza have deepened pessimism in the region. While it’s hard to imagine a way out now, our new @bjpols.bsky.social letter (w/ @liranharsgor.bsky.social) reaffirms that improving expectations for an agreement could raise support for compromises ▶️🧵1/10

Alternatively, you can read this interview with the excellent @noamgidron.bsky.social & Yaniv Roznai. Also a reminder that boycotting all Israeli academics is not just morally dubious (collective punishment) but also strengthens rather than weakens the Israeli far right.

Two scholars warn of Israel’s democratic backsliding, hidden by Oct. 7’s fog of war

In their new Hebrew-language book 'Democracy in Retreat,' Noam Gidron and Yaniv Roznai claim the government is using populism and polarization to chip away at democracy

Just read this excellent Introduction to an important special issue on democratic erosion in Israel. As other authoritarian leaders used COVID-19 to weaken liberal democracy, Netanyahu has used the October 7 attack to push through what hundreds of thousands had successfully prevented in 2023.

Remember the poll that found ~%80 of Israelis support forced expulsion? Well, it’s Not good social science. Some of the most serious Israeli political scientists I know and trust: @ayakter.bsky.social @liorsheffer.bsky.social and Yael Shomer looked into it and it has multiple issues.

מאמר חדש בספר ה"בחירות בישראל" עם @yanivshapi.bsky.social @ayakter.bsky.social תומכי אילו מפלגות מסכימים ביניהם, ועל אילו נושאים? אילו מהנושאים השפיעו יותר על ההצבעה בבחירות 2022? והאם בעשור האחרון ניכרת מגמה של קיטוב אידאולוגי גובר בין המפלגות או דווקא יציבות יחסית?

A serious question: how will comparative politics respond to the problem of under-powered research (see below)? I hope the the field will lean back into our strength (comparative case study) but I worry it will only tip toward big data. 1: from JOP: shorturl.at/aVJB2 2: from APSR: shorturl.at/sbPUi

@liranharsgor.bsky.social writes and links to our new JCR paper: did the external threat of COVID-19, when it still seemed life-changing before vaccines, affected Israelis' policy attitudes on collaboration with the Palestinians? Answer: Not so much, though with interesting nuances #polisky #menasky
