    Military Resources in Eretz Israel for the Genealogical Sleuth Rose Avigael Feldman Israel Genealogical Society [email protected] Though Eretz Israel has been the crossroads of invasions and the arena for wars for thousands of years, available documents that can be of help to genealogical sleuths start with the period of World War I. With the growth of the Jewish settlement and its identity as a new independent factor in the region, the Jewish population organized for its own defense and volunteered for the British army. The lecture will be a survey of the materials now available in various archives in Israel, including the Central Zionist Archives, the Hagana Historical Archives, the Museum of the Brigades and others. During the period of the Ottoman Empire, most Jews living in Eretz Israel did not have Turkish citizenship. There were a number of efforts made with the first and second aliyah (waves of immigration) to Eretz Israel, to organize themselves into groups of defense for the communities. Two of the groups were the Shomer and Bar Giora. http://www.mod.gov.il/pages/heritage/hashomer.asp (Hebrew website of the Hashomer museum) During the period of the First World War, over 11,000 Jews had reached Alexandra, Egypt by September 13, 1915. Some were refugees from Eretz Israel and others were expelled from Eretz Israel by the Ottoman government. The Ottoman government also expelled additional citizens from cities around Eretz Israel as the battle lines with the British moved across Eretz Israel. One clandestine group which was formed within Eretz Israel was NILI, which collaborated with the British.

  • Structures of Cooperation & Conflict: Local Forces in Mandatory Palestine During the Second World
    Jacob Stoil Ex Historia 136 Jacob Stoil1 University of Oxford Structures of Cooperation & Conflict: Local Forces in Mandatory Palestine during the Second World War From the recruitment of Roger’s Rangers in the Seven Years’ War to the Sunni Awakening, the employment of local forces is a persistent theme throughout the history of warfare. Although at times individual local forces have received narrative attention, there has as yet been no comprehensive study of the nature, structure, function, or experience of these forces. One way these forces differ from institutional forces is their temporary and sometimes ad hoc nature – they are recruited by metropolitan powers in response to a specific emergency, sometimes as a supplement to conventional forces or out of a desire to intervene militarily without committing to large deployments. These forces are by definition paramilitary in their nature, as, for the most part, are their activities. They are not regular police, gendarme, or military forces. Instead, they represent a subset of a broader category of force that includes paramilitaries, unconventional forces, guerrillas, some militias, and auxiliaries. In the last several decades, the establishment of, and cooperation with, such forces tends to belong neither to the main body of conventional forces nor to intelligence agencies, but to the specific sections responsible for special operations or paramilitary activities. Irregular local forces have formed part of crisis response in imperial security and proxy warfare the world over and have thus played a central role in conflicts. This is clearly shown in the case of the Palestine Mandate during the era of the Second World War.

  • Britain's Pacification of Palestine Matthew Hughes Frontmatter More Information I
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-10320-7 — Britain's Pacification of Palestine Matthew Hughes Frontmatter More Information i Britain’s Pacifi cation of Palestine In this complete military history of Britain’s pacifi cation of the Arab revolt in Palestine, Matthew Hughes shows how the British Army was so devastatingly effective against colonial rebellion. The Army had a long tradition of pacifi cation to draw upon to support operations, under- pinned by the creation of an emergency colonial state in Palestine. After conquering Palestine in 1917, the British established a civil Government that ruled by proclamation and, without any local legislature, the colo- nial authorities codifi ed in law norms of collective punishment that the Army used in 1936. The Army used ‘lawfare,’ emergency legisla- tion enabled by the colonial state, to grind out the rebellion. Soldiers with support from the RAF launched kinetic operations to search and destroy rebel bands, alongside which the villagers on whom the rebels depended were subjected to curfews, fi nes, detention, punitive searches, demolitions, and reprisals. Rebels were disorganised and unable to withstand the power of such pacifi cation measures.

  • Jewish and British Relations in the Palestine Police Force, 1936-1945
    Partners and Adversaries: Jewish and British Relations in the Palestine Police Force, 1936-1945 Lior Yohanani Introduction Following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire during the First World War, Palestine was recognized as a mandate territory by the League of Nations, and Britain, alongside its obligation to facilitate a Jewish National Home, was committed to the development of the land and its people in general. In many respects, Britain governed Palestine as a crown colony, establishing a functioning state apparatus staffed with local (Jewish and Arab) rank and file staff and governed by British personnel, most of whom had colonial service experience (Segev 2000: 62-3; Shamir 2000: 9). The sociological phenomenon at the heart of the present paper is the generally ambivalent approach of Zionism to British presence in Palestine. I focus on cultural and identity aspects rather than political ones, although of course such categorical distinctions often fuse on the ground. In this respect, Zionism should not be regarded as merely a national project, but, as Khazzoom (2003) defines it, a “Westernization project”, intended to associate the European Jews with what they believed to be a Western repertoire (see also Hirsch 2009; Raz-Krakotzkin 1993, 2005). In other words, Zionism, irrespective of internal political and ideological rivalries, had also been an identity and cultural project that * Lior Yohanani is currently pursuing his PhD in Sociology at Rutgers University. The present article is based on a chapter from his master’s thesis, which was written at Tel Aviv University under the supervision of Prof. Ronen Shamir, and submitted in October 2016.
