  • Camp David's Shadow
    Camp David’s Shadow: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinian Question, 1977-1993 Seth Anziska Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Seth Anziska All rights reserved ABSTRACT Camp David’s Shadow: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinian Question, 1977-1993 Seth Anziska This dissertation examines the emergence of the 1978 Camp David Accords and the consequences for Israel, the Palestinians, and the wider Middle East. Utilizing archival sources and oral history interviews from across Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, the United States, and the United Kingdom, Camp David’s Shadow recasts the early history of the peace process. It explains how a comprehensive settlement to the Arab-Israeli conflict with provisions for a resolution of the Palestinian question gave way to the facilitation of bilateral peace between Egypt and Israel. As recently declassified sources reveal, the completion of the Camp David Accords—via intensive American efforts— actually enabled Israeli expansion across the Green Line, undermining the possibility of Palestinian sovereignty in the occupied territories. By examining how both the concept and diplomatic practice of autonomy were utilized to address the Palestinian question, and the implications of the subsequent Israeli and U.S. military intervention in Lebanon, the dissertation explains how and why the Camp David process and its aftermath adversely shaped the prospects of a negotiated settlement between Israelis and Palestinians in the 1990s. In linking the developments of the late 1970s and 1980s with the Madrid Conference and Oslo Accords in the decade that followed, the dissertation charts the role played by American, Middle Eastern, international, and domestic actors in curtailing the possibility of Palestinian self-determination.

It includes new acquisitions of material, which have been received recently at the CZA. In addition, a new section has been added, the Maps and Plans Section. Some of the collections that make up this section did appear in the previous Guide, but did not make up a separate section. The decision to collect the various collections in one section reflects the large amount of maps and plans that have been acquired in the last two years and the advancements made in this sphere at the CZA. Similarly, general information about two additional collections has been added in the Guide, the Collection of Announcements and the Collection of Badges. Explanation of the symbols, abbreviations and the structure of the Guide: Dates appearing alongside the record groups names, signify: - with regard to institutional archives: the period in which the material that is stored in the CZA was created. - with regard to personal archives: the birth and death dates of the person. Dates have not been given for living people. The numbers in the right-hand margin signify the amount of material comprising the record group, in running meters of shelf space (one running meter includes six boxes of archival material).

  • Resumen the Character of Jewish Transnationalism
    CHANGES IN THE TRANSNATIONAL RELATIONSHIP OF THE WORLD ZIONIST ORGANIZATION AND LATIN AMERICAN JEWRY: INFORMAL EDUCAtion, 1968–2006 SILVIA SCHENKOLEWSKI-KROLL Resumen Los cambios ocurridos se refieren al transnacionalismo ideológico del Movimiento Sionista aplicado a las relaciones de su órgano ejecutivo, el Departamento de Juventud de la Organización Sionista Mundial (OSM) y sus variantes organizacionales durante el período determinado, con la juventud judía en América Latina, respecto a los movimientos juveniles sionistas pioneros, grupos y asociaciones no sionistas. A ello se anticipa la descripción del tipo de relaciones que precedieron a la Guerra de los Seis Días. Se trata de una evolución desde la consideración de la inmigración a Israel (aliá) como el objetivo principal y casi exclusivo de la educación no formal, hasta la visión de la educación judía como una meta en sí misma, de la cual forman parte integral el sionismo y el Estado de Israel. Este complejo se presenta en el marco de la historia de Israel y los acontecimientos en Latinoamérica y su repercusión en la juventud judía. Las principales fuentes primarias son los protocolos y las resoluciones de los Congresos Sionistas, el Comité de Acción y el Ejecutivo de la OSM. The character of Jewish transnationalism Despite the wide range of attributes of transnationalism, it focuses primarily on issues resulting from the migration of members of one nation 466 Silvia Schenkolewski-Kroll or a certain ethnic group from one country to another. Among these are: how the cultural heritage, and at times also the professional background, they bring with them from their home country influences the manner in which they successfully—or unsuccessfully—take root in their new home; how local groups and bodies influence this process; and the ties to their former homeland, whether they be blood relations, economic aid, or any other real or virtual connection.

  • Intelligence Failure Or Paralysis?
    Intelligence Failure or Paralysis? Amnon Lord There was no shortage of intelligence, nor was there a lack of intelligence alerts about the Yom Kippur War. The reasons for the famous mechdal (Israel’s lack of prepared- ness for the war) should be judged in the context of the 1973 conditions and not ac- cording to “what if…” questions. The reasons are, first, the unhealthy mixture of the military top echelon with the political leadership, which prevented the chief of staff from carrying out the appropriate military preparations on October 6, 1973. The second reason for the mechdal was a successful disinformation operation conducted by the Russians and their Arab allies. The third and main reason was the Israeli fear of “losing” the Americans—an outcome, the Israelis anticipated, of the struggle for the freedom of Soviet Jewry. For the Israeli public the war was a surprise; not for the political leadership. Was it a mistake, or paralysis? And if the latter, what were the causes? It seems that the great shock of the outbreak of the Yom Kippur War, at about two in the after- noon on October 6, 1973, has framed our basic understanding of the subject. It came as a surprise, but who was to blame if not Military Intelligence and its chief, Major General Eli Zeira? Nearly forty years have elapsed since the fateful moment when the Yom Kippur War broke out. It is now fitting to reexamine some of the “conventional wisdom,” which over the years many have accepted uncritically. For the other more important figures in the elite circle of decision-makers this paradigm provided a simple solution.

Articles & Testimony How an historic operation thirty years ago to save Ethiopian Jews succeeded -- and nearly failed. hirty years ago, Operation Moses became one of the most dramatic and successful chapters in modern Jewish T history. Thousands of Jews from Ethiopia, an ancient community threatened by revolution and famine, were delivered to Israel in a remarkable, covert operation undertaken through the collaboration of the United States, Israel and Sudan. Today, nearly two generations later, the Ethiopian Jewish community is a vibrant piece of the Israeli mosaic, symbolized most famously by Yityish Aynaw, Miss Israel 2013. But Operation Moses could have been a colossal disaster. If the rescue seemed to be the work of James Bond, the publicity that surrounded it seemed to be handled by Inspector Clouseau. As families were being spirited to Israel, Jewish officials spread the word -- issuing press releases, speaking to groups and buying ads -- in an effort to raise funds. At the same time, these same officials asked journalists to sit on their stories for fear of jeopardizing the operation and endangering lives. And, indeed, botched publicity brought Operation Moses to a premature end, putting stranded Ethiopian Jews in peril. The Jewish community reacted in horror and dismay. As a young journalist in 1984, I watched this tragedy of errors unfold, mistakes piling up like cars in a highway accident.

This directorate conducts analyses of security policy, regional analyses, studies of political-military issues, and strategy and force assessments. CNA Strategic Studies is part of the global community of strategic studies institutes and in fact collaborates with many of them. On the ground experience is a hallmark of our regional work. Our specialists combine in-country experience, language skills, and the use of local primary-source data to produce empirically based work. All of our analysts have advanced degrees, and virtually all have lived and worked abroad. Similarly, our strategists and military/naval operations experts have either active duty experience or have served as field analysts with operating Navy and Marine Corps commands. They are skilled at anticipating the “problem after next” as well as determining measures of effectiveness to assess ongoing initiatives. A particular strength is bringing empirical methods to the evaluation of peace-time engagement and shaping activities. The Strategic Studies Division’s charter is global. In particular, our analysts have proven expertise in the following areas: The full range of Asian security issues The full range of Middle East related security issues, especially Iran and the Arabian Gulf Maritime strategy Insurgency and stabilization Future national security environment and forces European security issues, especially the Mediterranean littoral West Africa, especially the Gulf of Guinea Latin America The world’s most important navies Deterrence, arms control, missile defense and WMD proliferation The Strategic Studies Division is led by Dr.

  • 9.-19780917-Carter-And-Dayan.Pdf
    1 Memorandum of Conversation between US President Jimmy Carter and Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan in the Billiard Room at Camp David at 14:00 (17 September 1978) Israel State Archives/Box/A4314/1 Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan at Camp David National Archives: 181317 On the final day of the Camp David negotiations, President Jimmy Carter told Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan that “Sadat’s compassion for Jerusalem is very strong; he is willing to be flexible about the settlements if Israel will be flexible with regard to Jerusalem.” Dayan was incredulous that with Egypt and Israel on the verge of a historic agreement the US would pressure Israel on Jerusalem. Dayan responded, “We are here in Camp David in the midst of negotiations and are willing to make peace with Egypt only to be confronted with the US positions.” Carter had promised Sadat to include the US position that East Jerusalem was occupied territory and had apparently planned to raise the issue once an agreement was well within sight. Emphatically, Dayan argued that if the new US proposed formulation were applied, “Hebrew University, the Wailing Wall, Hadassah [hospital], and the Jewish Quarter” would all be considered “occupied territory.” Dayan further stated that “if we had known that you would declare your position on Jerusalem we would not have come here” and called all other issues “insignificant.” Eventually, Carter agreed to make reference to the US position without stating it explicitly. The Carter administration would repeat the view that East Jerusalem was occupied territory in 1980, when the US voted affirmatively for UN Resolution 478.
