Religious Zionism and 1967: A paradigm shift?
Broschardt, Michal ; Kalhousová, Irena (advisor) ; Plíštilová, Tereza (referee)
This thesis examines the development of the ideas of religious Zionism with an emphasis on the changes after the 1967 Six-Day War. Conceptually, the thesis draws on the literature on nationalism accenting its territorial and religious aspects. The first part elaborates the original moderate character of religious Zionism, which was mostly manifested by pragmatism and a willingness to compromise. In the aftermath of the Six-Day War, the thesis analyses the decline of this moderate pragmatism, which is replaced by a messianic Zionism inspired by the ideas of Abraham Kook. This thesis considers the main factor of change to be the issue of control of newly acquired territories, which has become particularly relevant to the whole of Israeli society. The influence of messianic Zionists fostered a change towards territorial expansionism within the movement, closely tied to the belief in the redemptive mission of the State of Israel. At the same time, a strong anti-Arab sentiment and vision of Jewish exclusivity within the state emerged in the religious Zionism. A key role in this transformation was played by the Gush Emunim movement, which had a defining influence on the activities of the modern settler movement in the West Bank, Golan Heights and Gaza. After demise of Gush Emunim, religious Zionism...

Zionism as a Form of Racial Discrimination. Since the Six-day War to the Adoption of the Resolution 3379
Sedláček, Tomáš ; Tumis, Stanislav (advisor) ; Vojtěchovský, Ondřej (referee)
The thesis inquires into the progressively worsening international role of Israel after the Six-Day War. It begins with analysis of some aspects of the aforementioned conflict and finishes with declaration of resolution no. 3379, which condemned Zionism as a form of racial discrimination.The goal of the thesis is to analyse process that led the state constituted with the help of UN to the position as one of the most criticized members of the organization, all in less than its thirty years old existence.In addition to the Six-Day War, the analysis deals with other significant moments of the Arab-Israeli conflict between years 1967-1975 with the declaration of the said resolution taking the largest extent.Further, the author attempted to define a group of states actively objecting to Zionism and Israel. Simultaneously, he attempted to define the meaning of the fight against Zionism to individual members of the inhomogeneous anti-Israeli bloc.The thesis mainly stands on the analysis of UN documents concerning the Palestine problem in the observed time period. Based on the performed research, the author comes to the conclusion that the condemnation of Zionism as a form of racial discrimination was possible not solely by development of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and by drawing attention to the...

Jewish Resettlement of Hebron after 1967
Hosnédlová, Eva ; Nosek, Bedřich (advisor) ; Holubová, Markéta (referee)
The thesis outlined the history of the Jewish settlement of Hebron from Biblical times to the year 1929, which was the milestone in the history of the Jewish settlement of this city. The thesis describes the aftermath of the Six-Day War (in June 1967) and the atmosphere in the Jewish society, which played into the hands of the spiritual authorities of religious Zionism - e.g. Abraham Isaac Kook and his son Tzvi Yehuda Kook. Their messianic expectations and teachings, which made the settlement of the Land of Israel the top priority, led to the expansion of the settlement in the territory of biblical Judea and the Samaria Area. We watched the beginning of settlement activities that significantly affected politics. We provided examples that led to the "resettlement" of Hebron after 1979 when the women and children of the settlers from Kirjath Arba occupied the former Jewish hospital Hadassa, which meant the actual "resettlement" of Hebron because up until then, their settlements had been built only on the outskirts of the city. I also tried to describe the settlement differences and motivations between both Jewish communities before and after the Six-Day War.

The media image of the Six-Day War in the contemporary Czechoslovak and Polish daily newspapers
Tomanová, Kateřina ; Rusin Dybalska, Renata (advisor) ; Junek, Marek (referee)
The diploma thesis aims to describe and reconstruct the media image of the Six-Day War based on the analysis of selected articles from official contemporary Polish and Czechoslovak daily newspapers, which were being published during the event, from 5 to 10 June 1967 until the War of Attrition. An emphasis is placed on the portrayal of the Six-Day War and the comparison of media images of the conflict in Czechoslovak and Polish daily newspapers. The thesis also attempts to show the impact of a different domestic policy situation and historical factors on shaping media discourse in Czechoslovakia and Poland. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. The theoretical part presents the historical context of the event in relation to Czechoslovakia and Poland, the development of the media and selected daily newspapers. The theoretical part is also dedicated to the principles of propaganda, newspeak and critical discourse analysis. This method is used to analyse texts from the Czechoslovak and Polish daily newspapers - Rudé právo, Svobodné slovo, Mladá fronta, Lidová demokracie, Zemědělské noviny, Pravda, Trybuna Ludu, Żołnierz Wolności, Głos Robotniczy, Słowo Polskie, Życie Warszawy, Express Wieczorny. The results of the analysis are presented in the final chapter. Key words...

Israeli-palestinian conflict on the backround of Palestinian family memory
Shomaliová, Lucie ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Houda, Přemysl (referee)
This thesis is focused on the israeli-palestinian conflict, which is an often discussed topic, but especially in the Czech literature the perspective of common people is missing. The main focus will be on family memory and how it transfers within the generations. This will be demonstrated on an analysis of interviews with members of four families (of three generations: grandparent, parent, child) living in the West bank. That is why the method of oral history will be used. The main timeline will be year 1967 which is remembered by the oldest member of the interviewed families. In 1967 the third arab-israeli war took place when Israel defeated Egypt, Syria and Jordan and started occupying the Golan Heights, Sinai peninsula and a large part of the Palestinian territory including the eastern part of Jerusalem. This war caused another exodus of Palestinians and the beginning of building illegal settlements in the West Bank. This event is usually described from the political point of view but little is known about what happened to common people. The point of this thesis is to view this issue from different than official sources and give the topic a new dimension.
