  • Arab Israeli Teachers Working in Jewish Schools and Jewish Teachers Working in Arab Israeli Schools Nachum Blass1
    Arab Israeli Teachers Working in Jewish Schools and Jewish Teachers Working in Arab Israeli Schools Nachum Blass1 Background In Israel, there is a separation between the Jewish education system and the Arab Israeli education system. The decision for this separation has both practical and ideological explanations. There are those who claim that the demographic realities dictate this separation. However it is revealing that the policy since the founding of the state was to strengthen and preserve the Jewish identity amongst the Jewish sector, and a coming to terms with the national identity of the Arab Israeli pupils. The ideological component is the more important of the two; this is evidenced by the fact that even in places where it would be possible to establish a combined education system, like in mixed cities (Tel Aviv-Yaffo, Haifa, Jerusalem, Acco, Lod, and Ramla), there is a complete separation between the two systems. This separation exists in every part of the education system although it is the most severe in the State-religious and Haredi education. There it is backed by instructions at the highest level that “advise” in no uncertain terms against the hiring of Arab Israeli teachers. This reality has many implications both on the educational level and on the overall societal level. On the educational level, it intensifies the fluctuations in supply and demand for teachers due to the limitations it creates in moving from sector to sector. On the 1 Nachum Blass, senior researcher at the Taub Center for Social Policy Studies in Israel. Thanks to Haim Bleikh, researcher at the Taub Center, who coordinated the data analysis.

The closure prevented Palestinians, including workers, with valid permits, from accessing East Jerusalem and Israel during the four days. It is a year – the start of the 2006 Purim holiday – since Palestinian workers from the Gaza Strip have been prevented from accessing jobs in Israel. West Bank: − On 28 February, the IDF re-entered Nablus for one day to continue its largest scale operation for three years, codenamed ‘Hot Winter’. This second phase of the operation again saw a curfew imposed on the Old City, the occupation of schools and homes and house-to-house searches. The IDF also surrounded the three major hospitals in the area and checked all Palestinians entering and leaving. According to the Nablus Municipality 284 shops were damaged during the course of the operation. − Israeli Security Forces were on high alert in and around the Old city of Jerusalem in anticipation of further demonstrations and clashes following Friday Prayers at Al Aqsa mosque. Due to the Jewish holiday of Purim over the weekend, the Israeli authorities declared a blanket closure from Friday 2 March until the morning of Tuesday 6 March and all major roads leading to the Old City were blocked.

  • 99.8% of State Lands Allocated in the West Bank Were Given to Israelis; Palestinians Were Given Almost Nothing
    State Land Allocation in the West Bank—For Israelis Only, July 2018 99.8% of state lands allocated in the West Bank were given to Israelis; Palestinians were given almost nothing Following a request under the Freedom of Information Act submitted by Peace Now and the Movement for Freedom of Information (and after refusing to give the information and a two-and-a-half year delay), the Civil Administration's response was received: 99.76% (about 674,459 dunams) of state land allocated for any use in the Occupied West Bank was allocated for the needs of Israeli settlements. The Palestinians were allocated, at most, only 0.24% (about 1,625 dunams). Some 80% of the allocations to Palestinians (1,299 dunams) were for the purpose of establishing settlements (669 dunams) and for the forced transfer of Bedouin communities (630 dunams). Only 326 dunams at most were allocated without strings for the benefit of Palestinians, and at least 121 of those dunams are currently in Area B under Palestinian control. Most of the allocations to the Palestinians (about 53%) were made prior to the 1995 Interim Agreement (the Oslo II Agreement, in which the West Bank was divided into Areas A, B and C, and transferred control over 40% of the West Bank to the Palestinian Authority). The High Court of Justice is currently facing the issue of the evacuation of the Palestinian village of Al-Khan al- Ahmar, which the state wants to demolish and expel its residents to another area. The residents of the village are asking the High Court of Justice to stop the evacuation until the Civil Administration discusses the detailed construction plan they prepared for the village's approval, which the state has refused to consider.

  • KIRYAT ANAVIM, 1921 LESSON OVERVIEW Kiryat Anavim (City of Vineyards) Is a Kibbutz in the Judean Hills Near Jerusalem
    ANALYZING PRIMARY SOURCES CASE LEARNING ACTIVITY KIRYAT ANAVIM, 1921 LESSON OVERVIEW Kiryat Anavim (City of Vineyards) is a Kibbutz in the Judean Hills near Jerusalem. The land that would become the Kibbutz was bought in 1913-14 by the Palestine Land Development Company Organization from ‘Abdallah Effendi Abu Ghosh and ‘Abd al-Hamid Effendi Abu as part of the purchase of Dilb which had begun in 1910. The first settlers were a group of Jewish workers from Bialystock who, due to onset of World War I, vacated the area. The Kibbutz was founded in 1920 by a group of agricultural settlers from Eastern Europe who came as part of the Third Aliyah (see timeline 1919-1923). At first settlement and cultivation was difficult, especially as the settlers lacked sufficient financial resources, to develop modern farming on the hilly terrain. In 1920, the Jewish National Fund provided some financial assistance that helped the settlers by building terraces, planting saplings and. By the end of 1920 there were around 200 pioneers in Kiryat Anavim. In this lesson, students will analyze two photographs from Kiryat Anavim taken in 1921 and use their observations to produce a news story. ENDURING UNDERSTANDING Immigrants to Israel in 1920 faced many difficulties and worked hard to build and develop the infrastructure for the Jewish State. ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS What was life like for pioneers to Israel in the 1920’s? What type of work did the pioneers need to do in order to develop the land? OBJECTIVES: Students will: Analyze two historical photographs Construct meaning from their observations Learn about how chroma key (green screen) photography and video work.
