2008 Jerusalem Gay Pride Parade
On Thursday, 26
June, some 3,000 people turned out to take part in the Jerusalem Gay Pride
parade. Besides gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual organizations, the parade this year enjoyed
the support of Meretz and Communist parties, which joined
the parade.
As in previous
years, the parade sparked an outcry from the Jewish ultra-Orthodox community in the city. However, unlike in previous years, the parade passed without incident , although
only 2,000 police officers were on hand at the parade - 10,000 fewer than were
deployed last year.

 Latest Podcast: Naomi Klein's "The Shock Doctrine" in the Israeli Context
On Thursday, the 26th of June, 2008, Shir Hever, economist with the Alternative Information Center (AIC) spoke with Canadian journalist, author and activist, Naomi Klein. Naomi is the author of No Logo: Taking Aim at the Brand Bullies and Fences and Windows: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Globalization Debate and a frequent contributor to The Nation, In These Times, The Globe and Mail, and The Guardian.
Her most recent work is, The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism (September 2007). In this book, she undertakes to show how "disaster capitalism," which she defines as "orchestrated raids on the public sphere in the wake of catastrophic events, combined with the treatment of disasters as exciting market opportunities," did not begin in the wake of September 11, 2001. Instead, its origins can be traced back fifty years, to the University of Chicago under Milton Friedman, which produced many of the leading neoconservative and neoliberal thinkers, whose influence is still profound in Washington today.
Shir spoke with Naomi about Israel's role in the disaster capitalism phenomenon, the contradictions in Israeli society, which both profits and suffers from the burdens of being a fortress state in constant conflict, and on the discourse among Israeli economists about the role of peace vs. war in the Israeli economy.
