  • Jerusalem Between Segregation and Integration: Reading Urban Space Through the Eyes of Justice Gad Frumkin
    chapter 8 Jerusalem between Segregation and Integration: Reading Urban Space through the Eyes of Justice Gad Frumkin Y. Wallach Introduction Jerusalem is seen as an archetypal example of a divided city, where extreme ethno-national polarization is deep rooted in a long history of segregation. In this chapter I challenge this perception by re-examining urban dynamics of late Ottoman and British Mandate Jerusalem, while questioning the manner in which urban segregation is theorized and understood. In the past few decades, there has been a reinvigorated scholarly discus- sion of urban segregation, driven by the challenges of difference and diversity.1 Entrenched segregation between different groups (defined by race, ethnicity, religion or class), or the “parallel lives” of different communities, living side by side with little contact, are seen to undermine the multicultural model of the late twentieth century. At the same time, mechanistic models of integration through urban mixing are increasingly challenged, and it is no longer accepted as evident that segregation is always undesirable. Nor is it obvious that everyday contact between different communities necessarily helps to engender greater understanding and dialogue. Scholars have been debating how to locate the discussion of urban encounter and segregation in the lived experience of the city. Writing on this topic suffers from the idealization of urban cosmopoli- tanism, on the one hand, or, conversely, describing segregation in overdeter- mined terms. To avoid this double pitfall, closer attention to the historical and spatial context is necessary, as well as close examination of socioeconomic real- ities. One suggestion, that I follow in this chapter, is to focus on life histories.2 By 1 This chapter forms part of ‘Conflict in Cities and the Contested Stated’ project, funded by the esrc’s Large Grants Programme (res-060-25-0015).

After the departure of Seeking Refuge: the British forces before noon on Jerusalem Municipality 14 May, we were surprised by the attack of the Jewish forces. We in 1948 left the municipal offices and the bullets all over the city and entered Haneen Naamneh the walls [of the city]. We found on the morning of 15 May that while being inside the walls, the enemy had surrounded us, and bombs were falling everywhere.1 On 26 December 1950 al-Difa‘ newspaper published extracts of a “Detailed report of Jerusalem Municipality’s work after the termination of the mandate,” which was authored by Anton Safieh, a senior employee of Jerusalem Municipality during the British and the Jordanian rule. Al-Difa‘ added the sub-headings: “Facts and figures demonstrate the difficulties it [the municipality] encountered and the valuable tasks it undertook”; “The difficult period that followed the departure of the Mandate government”; “The remnants of the municipality and its finances”; “Gradual restitution of life to normal.” Between mid-May and late November 1948 a municipal council composed of senior Palestinian administrative employees led by Safieh undertook the municipal tasks in Jerusalem after the city’s administrative center fell under the control of the Zionist forces. This municipal council functioned until Ibrahim Dakkak Award for Outstanding 22 November 1948 when the military Essay on Jerusalem is an annual award commander, Abdallah al-Tal, appointed launched in 2017 to commemorate the the first official municipal council under memory and work of Ibrahim Dakkak Jordan in Jerusalem.2 (1929– 2016), former chairman of the The historical account introduced Advisory Board.

  • The Signatories of the Israel Declaration of Independence
    Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs The Signatories of the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel The British Mandate over Palestine was due to end on May 15, 1948, some six months after the United Nations had voted to partition Palestine into two states: one for the Jews, the other for the Arabs. While the Jews celebrated the United Nations resolution, feeling that a truncated state was better than none, the Arab countries rejected the plan, and irregular attacks of local Arabs on the Jewish population of the country began immediately after the resolution. In the United Nations, the US and other countries tried to prevent or postpone the establishment of a state, suggesting trusteeship, among other proposals. But by the time the British Mandate was due to end, the United Nations had not yet approved any alternate plan; officially, the partition plan was still "on the books." A dilemma faced the leaders of the yishuv, the Jewish community in Palestine. Should they declare the country's independence upon the withdrawal of the British mandatory administration, despite the threat of an impending attack by Arab states? Or should they wait, perhaps only a month or two, until conditions were more favorable? Under the leadership of David Ben-Gurion, who was to become the first Prime Minister of Israel, theVa'ad Leumi - the representative body of the yishuv under the British mandate - decided to seize the opportunity. At 4:00 PM on Friday, May 14, the national council, which had directed the Jewish community's affairs under the British Mandate, met in the Tel Aviv Museum on Rothschild Boulevard in Tel Aviv.

  • Zionism & Israel As the Nation-State of the Jewish People
    Zionism & Israel as the Nation-State of the Jewish People CUTTING THROUGH THE CONFUSION BY GOING BACK TO BASICS A Resource for the Global Jewish World Zionism & Israel as the Nation-State of the Jewish People CUTTING THROUGH THE CONFUSION BY GOING BACK TO BASICS A Resource by The Israel Forever Foundation THE PROBLEM The debates surrounding Zionism, Israel, and the legitimacy of a Nation State for the Jewish People seem never ending. The foundations on which the Jewish State was founded are constantly being questioned – both by the anti-Israel movement as well as within the Jewish world. Is Zionism racism? Is the word “Zionist” an insult? More and more people seem to think so. Social media’s magnification of individual voices has blurred the lines between what were until very recently extremist views one would not publicly express and narrative that is being expressed on college campuses, political pulpits and even mainstream media. Are we equipped to answer these accusations? Do we want to? How can we prepare the next generations to handle what is coming? In a time of pluralism and globalism, is the Jewish State legitimate? The legitimacy of the Jewish State has been questioned since (before) her establishment. The recent passing of Israel’s Nation State Law has been the impetus for renewed questioning. Many in the Jewish world have felt uneasy about the law, fearing it undermines the inherent pluralism of the Jewish State. What is the balance between Jewish Nationalism, Israel as a homeland for the Jewish People and Israel as a modern, liberal and pluralist country? What are the concerns? How should they be addressed? Confusion within the Jewish world We know that antisemitism is on the rise.

  • Two Haaretz Reports on Settler Violence These Reports Are
    Two Haaretz Reports on Settler Violence These reports are included to provide background on settler behavior that is not often seen in the US media. Fighting the W. Bank harvest of hatred Haaretz, Published date November 15, 2002 In the olive groves: Zionist immigrants protect Palestinians from Zionist settlers A large number of American Zionist immigrants, some of whom are religious, joined two separate olive pickings in West Bank Palestinian orchards last weekend. These harvests were organized by Israeli Jews to help protect the Palestinian farmers and their harvest from other Israeli Jews. The results of the two harvests were remarkably different although only a night divided them. This was possibly because Chief of Staff Moshe Ya'alon, was just forming his soon-to-be heavily publicized campaign to end the `olive war' by offering the Palestinians rare IDF protection. Olives grow mainly in the upper half of the country and provide the main livelihood for many Palestinian families. An average family owns between 50-170 trees, each tree has 20-70 kilos of olives and 1 kilo usually sells for about 5 shekels inside the occupied territories. The official harvesting period is from October 15th until November 15th this year. Many farmers had hoped to finish early before the start of Ramadan on November 6th, when the pickers would be fasting daily from sunrise to sunset. What no one expected was Jewish settlers beating them to it, stealing olives from the trees even before the harvest period opened, and in some cases, attacking the farmers. One 24 year-old villager from Aqraba, Hani Beni Manieh, was killed and three others were wounded in one such attack on the 6th of October.

Since they had passed the castle in Latrun, she had been staring out of the window: jeeps riddled with bullet holes hunkered by the roadside, a charred truck stood with its doors wide open. She noticed shreds of tires by the embankment and scraps of dull metal that she took for cartridge shells. In the valley far below, the strip of coast was barely more than a thin line, as if drawn by pencil. Beyond it lay the sea, its illusion of endlessness in sharp contrast to the barren strip of land that seemed to doze in the shimmering heat. The bus crawled uphill, shuddering as it took each corner, and stones flew out like bullet shots from under its tires. Through the rear window there was nothing to be seen but a cloud of dust and rocks. From her seat on the back row she looked over the heads of the other passengers and took in the hats, frayed collars, and the cases in the luggage nets that were pasted with labels from Rotterdam, Marseille, Valparaiso, and Hamburg. She smelled camphor, stale eau de cologne, sweat. And fear. Dusk was already beginning to fall when the vehicle came to a standstill in a dip between Deir Ayub and Bab el-Wad.
