DESCRIPTION:From Frank Sinatra's early pro-Zionist rallying to Steven Spie
 lberg's present-day peace-making\, Hollywood has long enjoyed a 'special r
 elationship' with Israel. Based on a newly-published book by Columbia Univ
 ersity Press\, this paper outlines the ways in which Hollywood's moguls\, 
 directors\, and actors have supported or challenged Israel for more than s
 even decades\, including Eddie Cantor\, Kirk Douglas\, Elizabeth Taylor\, 
 Barbra Streisand\, Vanessa Redgrave\, Arthur Krim and Arnon Milchan. The p
 aper probes the influence of Israeli public diplomacy on Hollywood's outpu
 t and lobbying activities\, but also highlight the limits of ideological d
 evotion in high-risk entertainment industries. It demonstrates how show bu
 siness has played an important role in crafting the U.S.-Israel alliance a
 nd illuminates how U.S. media and soft power have helped shape the Arab-Is
 raeli conflict.\nSpeakers:\nProfessor Tony Shaw (University of Hertfordshi
 re)\, Dr Giora Goodman (Kinneret College on the Sea of Galilee)
