📢 New in Journal of Information Technology & Politics (OA):
What if the biggest barrier to political participation isn’t apathy or ideology—
but poor website design?
We used eye-tracking to study how parties’ websites widen the digital divide.

שמחתי להתארח בפודקאסט של המכון לחירות ואחריות, ולדבר על פערים בין-דוריים בעמדות בישראל, דעת הקהל, הצבעה וההשלכות של דלות השיח הפוליטי על הסכסוך

How do generational patterns affect public opinion in prolonged conflicts? @LiranHarsgor focuses on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, examining how support for conflict resolution varies across Israeli–Jewish cohorts. Read about her findings here: https://t.co/1Pyargmrwg

Yesterday in Cologne I got a call from the Dean @DaphnaCanetti telling me that I was promoted to Senior Lecturer with tenure 🥳🥳
Thank you to all my supportive colleagues and friends at @Uhaifa and around the world.
The #EPSA2024 reception was the perfect place to celebrate!

[Political Behavior Lab @polbehaviorlab]

A great team effort under the leadership of the one and only Liron.

@nir_benz זוכר מי זכה להפעיל את הדיוטי?

[Political Behavior Lab @polbehaviorlab]

@favstats Can you add Israel? I hope we will have an election by the end of 2024.

The Young and the Hawkish: Generational differences in conflict attitudes in Israel
My new article in Research & Politics analyzes generational trends in support for the two-state solution in Israel, highlighting significant generational divides.

[Liran Harsgor @LiranHarsgor]

The age gap in support for a Palestinian state reflects a cohort effect rather than a lifecycle effect.
Check out a teaser from my forthcoming paper for more insights!

Will @RobertKennedyJr 's candidacy hurt Biden or Trump? @simonovitsgabor and I found it depends on how voters view a candidate in a given choice set. Will he be more of a Bernie, a Buchanan, or a Nader? https://t.co/eIWlfbukWm

At the PBL, we not only study democracy, but we also fight for it.

[Prof. Israel Waismel-Manor @IWaismelManor]

Getting my message and bald head across.

[Liran Harsgor @LiranHarsgor]

מאמר חדש ב-Journal of Conflict Resolution והנה סיפורו: אי שם עם פרוץ הקורונה היה נדמה שהעולם שהכרנו הולך להשתנות. @alonyakter ואני תהינו: האם הקורונה תשנה גם את הדינמיקות של הסכסוך? האם היא תשפיע על האופן שבו ישראלים מוכנים ורוצים לסייע לפלסטינים בהתמודדות עם איום המגיפה המשותף?

[Liran Harsgor @LiranHarsgor]

This evening I spoke at the pro-democracy demonstration in my city, Kfar Saba. Amazing vibes.

[Political Behavior Lab @polbehaviorlab]

Another great contribution by Yael, the first Political Behavior Lab postdoc! We are lucky to have her.

[Yael R. Kaplan @YaelRKaplan1]

Proud to share that our paper “People’s sense of political representation and national stories: The case of Israel” has been accepted for publication @ShaulShenhav, @IWaismelManor and @TamirSheafer.

Our paper, w page numbers, is published today @AJPS_Editor w @LiranHarsgor, @ortutt and Reut Itzkovitch-Malka. Open access: https://t.co/RWWfkAdF00. We find that women are risk-aversed what it comes to voting for radical right parties.

גם בוחרים באירופה מצביעים אסטרטגית. הם נרתעים ממפלגות לא מוכרות שעלולות לא להכנס לפרלמנט. זה בחלקו מסביר את הרתיעה מהצבעה לימין קיצוני פופוליסטי, במיוחד אצל נשים. ככל שהמפלגות הללו צוברות כח, נכנסות לפרלמנט ולא מהוות סיכון אלקטורלי, כך הרתיעה מהן יורדת. מאמר חדש שלנו, פרטים מטה👇
