Subscribe Past Issues Translate 01/03/2020 We have posted our response to the plan Trump program here ‼ Subscribe Past Issues Translate View this email in your browser From our Executive Director: 27/02/2020 Dear Friends and Partners, The most recent significant event was the announcement of the Trump program. A one-sided “peace plan” at the expense of the Palestinian people and with great injury to Palestinian citizens of Israel. I chose to attend the mass demonstration organized by the Arab Society Monitoring Committee in neighboring Baqa al-Gharbia. I went to express my partnership and solidarity with the Palestinian people that the Trump-Bibi scheme harms severely, and with the Palestinian citizens of Israel, who are at the simultaneously part of the Palestinian people as well as citizens with equal collective and individual rights in our shared state, Israel. Some of my fellow Jews chose to leave because of the Palestinian flags at the demonstration. I stayed. Palestinian flags do not bother me: This is their national flag and it does not mean that they want to live in Palestine. The flag proclaims they are part of a nation that also deserves the right to self- determination and a national home that is not under occupation. The protesters who came to Baqa came to protest the humiliating affront to their people, of which the proposal of transfer is just one component. I came to show them that they were not alone. That there are Jews who share their fight. This is called solidarity and it is our duty. I came and stayed because this program also hurts me as a Jew and as a Zionist. It contradicts Jewish morality and it portends the destruction of Zionism. It is true that I did not feel comfortable with every speech that was heard, but – and this distinction is critical – this was a Palestinian demonstration and not a demonstration of Jewish-Arab partnership. I wish there were many more who felt comfortable in Palestinian demonstrations with Palestinian flags and Palestinian slogans, because these are our partners in our common homeland here in Israel. For us in Givat Haviva there is no alternative to a shared and equal society in Israel. We view partnership among different people on an equal basis as an exciting future. The State of Israel should not look for ways to transfer Arab citizens of Israel; it should celebrate the cultural https://mailchi.mp/givathaviva/newsghnov2019-2123105?e=ca5f289acb 1/11 01/03/2020 We have posted our response to the plan Trump program here ‼ richness and economic and social contribution of multiculturalism in the shared society of Jews Subscribe Past Issues Translate and Arabs in Israel.

Yaniv Sagee GIVAT HAVIVA IN THE MEDIA Weeping in coal - the feminist art of Hannan Abu-Hussein Dough is white, coal is black. In the 2001- 2008 Video Ajeeneh (Dough) Hannan Abu- Hussein kneads and covers herself in dough as if ready to go to sleep in its soft and warm embrace. In a video placed next to Ajeeneh titled Mashara (Blacker) from 2017, she is seen breaking large blocks of coal into smaller fragments and smears her face with the soot. Both works take place in a space that evokes a home, or maybe a kitchen, where fuel is burned and bread is baked. read whole article... Israel’s Palestinian minority has good reason to fear Trump’s plan The Trump administration’s decision to green-light Israel’s annexation of illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank grabbed headlines last week.

SHARED COMMUNITIES Partnership between Arab and Jewish Communities to Build a Shared Society: the Givat Haviva Model Led by academic advisor Dr. Ran Kuttner, https://mailchi.mp/givathaviva/newsghnov2019-2123105?e=ca5f289acb 2/11 01/03/2020 We have posted our response to the plan Trump program here ‼ Givat Haviva has just published a new book Subscribe Past Issues Translate in Hebrew and Arabic that presents an in- depth exploration of the Shared Communities program. For the past decade Shared Communities has been Givat Haviva’s flagship program, developed and implemented to promote partnership and equality at a time of dissatisfaction with the idea of “coexistence”, and a growing preference for tackling the challenges of building and sustaining a shared society in Israel. The book presents a theoretical and practical model in the form of a multilayered program that facilitates sustainable partnerships between pairs of neighboring Jewish and Arab communities, headed by local authorities, as a basis to developing a concept of shared region. The book will be presented at a conference at the University of Haifa on April 22, with senior academics from Israel and abroad. An English translation of the book is on the way. In the meantime, the Hebrew version here includes a two-page executive summary in English on pages 12-13. https://mailchi.mp/givathaviva/newsghnov2019-2123105?e=ca5f289acb 3/11 01/03/2020 We have posted our response to the plan Trump program here ‼ Subscribe Past Issues Translate ENVIRONMENT 2020 began with two events of major importance regarding the environment in the Wadi Ara region. A public meeting presenting the Forest Connection Plan for Wadi Ara communities took place in Maale Iron on Jan 29, attended by representatives of the Arab and Jewish municipalities in the region, in which Jewish National Fund (JNF) officials presented their master plan for the Wadi Ara region to senior officials in the area. Two environmental projects led by Givat Haviva were held up as inspirational models for working in collaboration with environmentalists in the region. The following day, a tour of Nahal Barkan promoted an environmental project initiated by members of the regional association in the area between Kafr Qara and Mu'awiya. Participants included representatives of the Carmel and JNF drainage authorities Kafr Qara, Basma, Arara-Ara, the association, and Givat Haviva, who made important decisions for the project’s implementation. BUSINESS A meeting of the Regional Business Forum’s Executive Committee was held with the participation of Riyadh, Yaniv and Samar to plan the Forum's official launch in a conference to be held at the end of March 2020. About a hundred and fifty Arab and Jewish business owners from the region will be invited to the conference. The conference will present the Forum’s vision of integrating the private sector in Givat Haviva’s framework for building shared society in the region.

Year after year the schools express great satisfaction with this program and there is a desire to open a new pair of schools next year. Most of the collaborative sessions dealt with the cultural and identity components of the groups. The facilitators and participants reported on significant sessions which created personal and group connections HEART TO HEART The annual follow-up project of the 2019 Canada delegation took place on November 12, as part of Givat Haviva's annual conference activities, led by program coordinator Samira Assi. Graduates of the 2019 delegation planned and led three dynamic workshops for ninth graders from neighboring Pardes Hanna and Kafr Qara, sharing how the experience influenced their own sense of identity, creating a space for the students to ask potentially uncomfortable questions, and allowing for deep and intimate dialogue in small groups and pairs, to reduce negative stereotypes and prejudices towards different groups of youth and provide a personal example of shared life and shared responsibility. On January 9-10, 60 alumni representing all 9 past Heart to Heart delegations gathered for the annual conference for a very full to days of workshops, networking, capacity building, and fun for these motivated leaders of shared society.

  • Migration of Eretz Yisrael Arabs Between December 1, 1947 and June 1, 1948

Basic figures on Arab migration 3. National phases of evacuation and migration 4. Causes of Arab migration 5. Arab migration trajectories and absorption issues Annexes 1. Regional reviews analyzing migration issues in each area [Missing from document] 2. Charts of villages evacuated by area, noting the causes for migration and migration trajectories for every village General introduction The purpose of this overview is to attempt to evaluate the intensity of the migration and its various development phases, elucidate the different factors that impacted population movement directly and assess the main migration trajectories. Of course, given the nature of statistical figures in Eretz Yisrael in general, which are, in themselves, deficient, it would be difficult to determine with certainty absolute numbers regarding the migration movement, but it appears that the figures provided herein, even if not certain, are close to the truth. Hence, a margin of error of ten to fifteen percent needs to be taken into account. The figures on the population in the area that lies outside the State of Israel are less accurate, and the margin of error is greater. This review summarizes the situation up until June 1st, 1948 (only in one case – the evacuation of Jenin, does it include a later occurrence). Basic figures on Arab population movement in Eretz Yisrael a.

  • The Mossawa Center's Briefing on the 'Deal of the Century' 1. Political
    The Mossawa Center’s Briefing on the ‘Deal of the Century’ 1. Political Background Following two inconclusive rounds of elections in April and September 2019, Israel is set to hold an unprecedented third consecutive election in March 2020. With no clear frontrunner between Benny Gantz of Kahol Lavan (Blue and White) and Benjamin Netanyahu of the Likud, the leaders are locked in a frantic and unrestrained race to the bottom. Trump’s announcement that he would launch the political section of his ‘Peace to Prosperity’ document before the Israeli election has fanned the flames of this right-wing one-upmanship. The timing of the announcement was criticized as a political ploy to benefit his close ally Netanyahu which, against the backdrop of his alleged interference in Ukraine at the crux of his impeachment trial, he was eager to avoid. In the end, both Netanyahu and Gantz visited the White House, but there was only one winner: the sitting prime minister – who, on the day of the announcement, was indicted all three counts of bribery, fraud and breach of trust after withdrawing his request for immunity. It was Netanyahu who unveiled the document alongside the President, forcing Gantz’s hand: in his earlier attempts to cannibalize Netanyahu’s voter base in his pledge to annex the Jordan Valley, he had no choice but to endorse the plan, which could come before the Knesset before the March 2020 election. However, Gantz’s rightward shift has dire ramifications for the next election. Between the April and September elections, turnout among the Palestinian Arab community increased by twelve points, and polls are predicting a further increase.

  • Three Conquests of Canaan
    ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case.

We base our evidence on a natural experiment that sharply reduced the cost of attending school and, as a consequence, significantly increased the education of affected cohorts. This natural experiment was the result of the de facto revocation in October 1963 of the military rule that had been imposed on Arabs in Israel, immediately creating free access to institutions of schooling.

The location is also consonant with the master plan for Wadi Ara development. The industrial zone has a total area of 1085 dunams (c. 268 acres), with 628,000 square meters for industrial and commercial buildings and another c. 15,000 square meters of public buildings. by Yaniv Golan This week Menashe Regional Council chairman Ilan Sadeh and architect Leah Perry, the council engineer for the Menashe-Alona Regional Planning and Building Committee, signed off on the plans, which were forwarded for registration with the Haifa District Planning and Building Committee, prior to final approval of the plans. The Iron Industrial Zone will be shared by six Jewish and Arab local councils in the northern Sharon area of Wadi Ara. The new industrial zone is an initiative of Menashe Regional Council chairman Ilan Sadeh. Behind this project is a unique Jewish-Arab partnership involving Jewish councils – the Menashe regional council and the Harish local council – alongside a series of Arab councils in Wadi Ara – the Umm al Fahm municipality, the Kfar Qara local council, the Basma local council (comprising Barta’a, Ein a-Sahle and Muawiya) and the Arara local council.

During this period, over 27,000 attacks against Israeli citizens and residents have been recorded, and over 1000 Israeli citizens and residents have lost their lives in these attacks. Out of these, 155 (May 2007) attacks were suicide bombings, carried out against Israeli targets by 178 (August 2007) suicide terrorists (male and female). (It should be noted that from 1993 up to the beginning of the conflict in September 2000, 38 suicide bombings were carried out by 43 suicide terrorists). Despite the fact that suicide bombings constitute 0.6% of all attacks carried out against Israel since the beginning of the conflict, the number of fatalities in these attacks is around half of the total number of fatalities, making suicide bombings the most deadly attacks. From the beginning of the conflict up to August 2007, there have been 549 fatalities and 3717 casualties as a result of 155 suicide bombings. Over the years, suicide bombing terrorism has become the Palestinians’ leading weapon, while initially bearing an ideological nature in claiming legitimate opposition to the occupation.

  • President Trump's Declaration on Jerusalem: Arab Citizens’ Response and Jewish-Arab Discourse in Israel December 2017
    President Trump's Declaration on Jerusalem: Arab Citizens’ Response and Jewish-Arab Discourse in Israel December 2017 On December 1st, American President Donald Trump allowed a waiver of the 1995 Jerusalem Embassy Act1 to expire and in so doing, technically recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and set in motion plans enabling the relocation the American Embassy there from its current location in Tel Aviv. A few days later, on December 6th, President Trump formally and publicly recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital in a televised announcement and issued a directive to the State Department to begin the embassy move. These actions reverse longstanding American and international precedent regarding Jerusalem,2 as well as convention since 1993 that “the status of Jerusalem is a core issue to be addressed bilaterally in permanent status negotiations” between Israel and the Palestinians.3 Within the context of Arab citizens of Israel and Jewish-Arab relations in the country, the announcements have had a polarizing effect. While the majority of Jewish Israeli political leaders seem to be aligned in support of the actions, Arab political leadership has been vocal in its opposition. Even before the official announcement, MK Ayman Odeh, the Chair of the Joint Arab List, called President Trump "a pyromaniac" and warned that he "will set the entire region ablaze with his madness” if he goes through with it. MK Ahmad Tibi, also from the Joint List, said moving the US embassy “is in violation of international law” and will “seriously damage the vision for two states.”4 For Arab citizens of Israel, the opposition to the moves has a number of different roots.

  • A History of Modern Palestine
    A HISTORY OF MODERN PALESTINE Ilan Pappe’s history of modern Palestine has been updated to include the dramatic events of the s and the early twenty-first century. These years, which began with a sense of optimism, as the Oslo peace accord was being negotiated, culminated in the second intifada and the increase of militancy on both sides. Pappe explains the reasons for the failure of Oslo and the two-state solution, and reflects upon life thereafter as the Palestinians and Israelis battle it out under the shadow of the wall of separation. I P is Senior Lecturer in Political Science at the University of Haifa in Israel. He has written extensively on the politics of the Middle East, and is well known for his revisionist interpretation of Israel’s history. His books include The Making of the Arab–Israeli Conflict, – (/) and The Modern Middle East ().
