Foreword Chapter 1 Chapter 3 Notes Foreword 1. Acronym for the Israel Defense Forces. Chapter 1 1. Habonim—now Habonim Dror—was first established in London in 1929, spread- ing to North America in 1935 and then to other places in the world. Dror (“freedom”) was established in 1915 in Russia as a Socialist-Zionist youth move- ment and then also spread to other continents. Habonim in North America was based on the principles of Labor Zionism and Socialism and stressed aliya in which Diaspora Jews immigrate to Israel to resettle their ancient homeland. In 1982 Habonim and Dror merged. 2. There are two main ethnic groups of Jews: Ashkenazi Jews, who come from European descent, and Sephardic (or Mizrachi) Jews, who come from Northern Africa and Asian countries. 3. A sabra is a prickly fruit, but is the term used to connote individuals who are born in Israel. There is a popular Israeli saying that the sabras are rough on the outside, but sweet on the inside, like the fruit. 4. Al Naqba is the Arabic term for “the catastrophe,” which occurred when the Jews won the 1948 war, securing their statehood, and the Palestinians lost their homeland and became refugees (Pappe, 2004). 5. The Green Line refers to the armistice borders that resulted at the end of the 1948 War of Independence/Nakba between Israel and the West Bank and the Gaza Strip (Pappe, 2004; Salinas, 2009). 6. Aliya—ascent/immigration by Jews to Israel—was mostly carried out in waves from 1882 until the beginning of the 1990s. Chapter 3 1. All the names used in the examples throughout the book are pseudonyms, unless otherwise noted. 176 ● Notes Chapter 7 1. Since there is disagreement whether or not this was a military operation or a war, we will henceforth refer to it as the Operation/War. 2. Eric’s full name, as well as the names of the Israelis mentioned later on in this chapter, is used here. However, since Palestinians in Gaza are not allowed to be in touch with Israelis, and we do not want to endanger them in any way, we use here only first name pseudonyms and do not provide any information that could make their identity public.

  • The Shofar Jewish Federation of Grand Rapids 2727 Michigan NE Grand Rapids, MI 49506-1240
    Volume 17, Number 6 March 2012 Federation News Executive Director’s Letter S.ORG Dear Friends, The Jewish Cultural Council’s speaker last month, Professor Reuven Hazan of Hebrew University in Jerusalem, delivered to our community a thought provoking speech about the Israeli perspective on the Middle East conflict. Of note, his discussion of the “hawks and doves” in Israel brought a number of nods from those who attended, including from both local hawks and doves. I’d like to share some of my recollections of Professor Hazan’s talk along with some reflections about democracy in Israel. Professor Hazan’s choice of “hawks and doves” proved effective in framing the discussion. A central theme was the steady movement by the hawks toward the dovish position, from Menachem Begin relinquishing the Sinai to Yitzhak Shamir sitting down FEBRUARY 2012 with the PLO; from Benjamin Netanyahu agreeing to a two-state solution to Ariel ADAR/NISSAN 5772 Sharon unilaterally withdrawing from Gaza. These ‘Nixon goes to China’ moments for the Israeli hawks make it clear there is a desire across the political spectrum in Israel for reaching a secure peace with their Arab neighbors. WWW.JEWISHGRANDRAPID While this history has brought Israel’s hawks and doves closer, Professor Hazan contended, uncertainty remains about what the future will bring. The split of Likud into a more hawkish Likud and moderate Kadima parties a few years ago was significant in Israel’s politics. He noted this split makes the willingness of the hawks to move once again toward the dovish side more difficult.

Zionism is many things for us—a source of inspiration, a historical legacy, a vision for a just society, an answer to antisemitism, a connection point with Jews around the world. Zionism is a deep idea, but sometimes it is sharp and bright. It seizes us with both hands, reaching up out of the pages of our own journals and shaking us by the shoulders: Wake up! Zionism is a wide river, with many different people living on its shores, floating their dreams and their sorrows downstream on rafts of every possible design.

  • March 26, 2019 the Honorable James E. Risch Chair Senate Committee
    March 26, 2019 The Honorable James E. Risch Chair Senate Committee on Foreign Relations Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Robert Menendez Ranking Member Senate Committee on Foreign Relations Washington, DC 20510 Dear Chairman Risch and Ranking Member Menendez, On behalf of the 19 undersigned national Jewish organizations and institutions, we write to express our strong opposition to the re-nomination of Ronald Mortensen as assistant secretary of state for the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration. We urge you to reject his nomination. As Jews, we understand the reality of fleeing violence and oppression as immigrants and refugees. We believe that the United States is a nation of immigrants and how we treat the stranger reflects on the moral values and ideals of this nation, as well as our specific Jewish values. Mortensen is currently a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies (“CIS”), an extreme anti-immigrant group founded in 1985 with the help of John Tanton, a racist and architect of the modern anti- immigrant movement with a history of promoting “passive” eugenics. CIS publishes reports and articles, including by Mortensen, promoting the idea that immigration has a detrimental impact on American society. CIS also has disturbing ties to racists, circulating articles penned by white nationalists. Mortensen’s role at CIS should alone be disqualifying, but he also has a long and disturbing track record of hostile and hateful anti-immigrant rhetoric. He has criticized Dreamers and accused undocumented immigrants of “destroying the lives of American men, women, and children.” He has criticized efforts at reforming the country’s immigration system, and perpetuated the harmful stereotype and myth that immigrants are linked with higher crime rates.

  • Ninety Years of Habonim-Dror Sa: a Short History
    NINETY YEARS OF HABONIM-DROR SA: A SHORT HISTORY By Gideon Shimoni, October 2020 FOUNDATIONS: A JEWISH SCOUT MOVEMENT The extraordinary significance of Zionism as sentiment, ideology and organization is perhaps the most distinctive characteristic of South African Jewry, and youth movements have always been Zionism's beating heart and conscience. Habonim (now Habonim-Dror), founded in early 1931, has been the largest and most influential of these youth movements, at least until the last few decades when the orthodox-religious youth movement, Bnei Akiva, challenged its status. To be sure, flourishing youth societies, engaging youth above 16 years of age, existed before Habonim was founded. Known as Judean Societies, and Young Israel Societies, their activities were coordinated in 1932 through the formation of a Zionist Youth Council affiliated to the Zionist Federation. However, Habonim was the first youth movement that focused upon the adolescent age group (initially 12 to 16 years) and engaged each generation of its own graduates in the hadracha (guidance ) of the next generation of Jewish youth. When Norman and Nadia Lourie founded Habonim, it was essentially as a Jewish equivalent of Baden-Powell’s Boy Scouts. It was entirely independent and autonomous. Lourie himself had adopted the idea in London where he had joined Wellesley Aron in the founding of Habonim on the same model about a year earlier. Its underlying educational purpose was to foster character development in a healthily fun-filled, Jewishly meaningful and socially caring spirit. However, from the outset, the main emphasis was on identification with the Jewish national renaissance epitomized by Zionism.
