Tamar Meisels is a Professor of Government and Policy in the Department of Political Science at Tel Aviv University, and a political theorist.[1][2][3][4]
Biography
She is the daughter of Andrew Meisels, who was a foreign correspondent, author, and broadcaster, and Martha Meisels, a consumer affairs reporter for the Jerusalem Post.[5][6][7]
She earned a B.A., L.L.B., and M.A. at Tel Aviv University, and a Ph.D in Political Theory at Balliol College, Oxford University, in 2000.[8] She works on the political theory of territorial rights, liberal nationalism, and the philosophical questions surrounding war and terrorism.[9]
Meisels is known for advocating a consistent and strict definition of terrorism, which she defines as "the intentional random murder of defenseless non-combatants, with the intent of instilling fear of mortal danger amidst a civilian population as a strategy designed to advance political ends."[10]
She has written on the complexities of applying international law to terrorists, who are neither soldiers nor civilians.[11]
