ABSTRACT Israel has participated in the Eurovision, the largest European music festival, since 1973. The Jewish state regularly invests substantial resources in the contest and goes to great lengths to shine; with four victories, as well as two second places, it has been highly successful. Given its symbolic significance, as well as its actual impact on Israeli cultural diplomacy and nation-branding efforts, the annual media event and the process of selecting an artistic representative frequently elicit values-laden debates. Against this backdrop, the article investigates the evolution of the ways in which Israelis have presented themselves on the Eurovision stage, as well as the country’s internal discourse surrounding this annual cultural ritual. Israel’s participation in the yearly spectacle, I argue, has become an important element of ongoing Zionist-Israeli nation-building.

Lustick’s concluding chapter instead focuses on the reality of the one state that exists, and the troubling consequences of conflict management and de facto annexation. But what would it mean for a political imaginary that moves in a more generative direction? Paradigm Lost forces us to consider the hold of paradigmatic thinking about territorial partition yet it also makes clear that envisioning a more equitable future still requires new models to take its place.

Arnold Toff; Reina Blok). Both of these books make a valuable contribution to Holocaust studies, and to understanding the place of technology and transport in twentieth-century violence. They build on incredible scholarship, push it into new directions, and offer quantifiable evidence which allows us to better understand the otherwise opaque world of the railways in times of conflict. They also push primary sources to the forefront, whether through a document section or through the multitude of individual stories. Excellent sources for any student of Holocaust history, and a rich addition to historiographical discussions for scholars of this period.

And if they are not resolved, which is sometimes the case, that may hurt the fabric of society, on human rightsrelated issues, and on the coherence and consistency of the law itself. Yet this thoughtful book is an excellent and always necessary reminder about the proper limits of the law, especially within the context of issues pertaining to culture and identity, and especially within the Israeli context.
