1 The four women who were interviewed for the article that gave the group its name were Rachel Ben Dor, Ronit Nachmias, Yaffa Arbel, and Miri Sela.

2 For strategic reasons, the group decided to avoid formal affiliation with Beilin, but did cooperate with Beilin’s group in large-scale rallies, which Beilin’s organization funded.

3 A very small pro-war group, the “Three Fathers,” occasionally added a bit of drama at Four Mothers’ demonstrations. Ryan (1991: 41) notes that a counter-demonstration makes an event more newsworthy “because it makes conflict visual in a way that crowds with banners do not.”

4 Among Israeli Jews, those believing that Arabs wanted to destroy Israel fell to 19 percent in 1997 and 1999, compared with 49 percent in 1991, at the time of the Gulf war (Arian 1997, 1998, 1999).

5 Through Druze Arab parents in the movement, the group did contact newspapers in Lebanon to report on movement activities.

6 In fact, Israel appears to have lacked a coherent political or military policy toward the Lebanon war: The IDF Northern Command and Military Intelligence, for example, disagreed on whether and how to continue the war and government leadership was on the issue was absent (Shelah 2007).

7 Ben Dor (2007) believed most of the internal problems were caused by movement supporters who did not have children fighting in Lebanon.
