Das Label "new Mizrahim" verweist auf eine Strömung im israelischen gesellschaftlichen Diskurs, in der Wissenschaftler, Studenten, Journalisten und Intellektuelle orientalisch-jüdischer Herkunft (Selbstbezeichnung: Mizrahim) eine kritische Perspektive gegenüber der israelischen Gesellschaft, der zionistischen Revolution, der kulturellen Hegemonie der Aschkenazim und den repressiven sozio-ökonomischen Strukturen des Staates entwickeln. Aspekte dieses Phänomens sind im Erziehungsbereich, in der Literatur, in Filmen und Massenmedien sowie im akademischen Bereich zu finden. Seinen politisch radikalsten Niederschlag hat die neue politische Identität der Mizrahim in der 1997 gegründeten Bewegung "Democratic Mizrahi Rainbow" gefunden. (DÜI-Hns)

Criticism in a mass society mediates between the work of art & the public. Few good critics set out deliberately to enlighten someone else. They write to place their own ideas in order, to possess as a critic, through the integral force of intelligence the work of art created by someone else. At its best true literary criticism may actually suggest new subjects & can enliven the imagination. Its greatest single attribute is its force, its passionate declaration of the true nature of man & what his proper destiny must be. It is the kind of criticism that sums up the spirit of the age in which man lives & asks him to transcend it which enables him to see things in the grand perspective - in the way of Marx on Greek philosophy, Kierkegaard on Mozart, Nietzche on the birth of tragedy, Shaw on Ibsen & Lawrence on Amer literature. The critic who sees himself setting standards for his age may stimulate new works of art by helping to create the climate for discussion & by revealing the hidden issues that give a writer a hint of new subjects.

Oral histories with Jews in the former Soviet Union reveal that age and gender are crucial factors for experiencing, surviving, and remembering the Nazi genocide in Soviet territories. These memories of atrocities and survival during the German occupation reflect complex negotiations of Jewish and Soviet identities and highlight how shared experiences of trauma facilitate community building within and beyond national groups.
