First, it aims to make known to the general public the fact that Tel Aviv, a modern town one hundred years of age, is in its core one of the few successes of modern planning. Tel Aviv enjoys real urban activity, almost around the clock, and this activity contains all the range of human achievement: social, cultural, financial, etc. This intensity is promoted and enlivened by a relatively minor part of the city, the part planned by Sir Patrick Geddes, a Scotsman, anthropologist and man of vision. This urban core is the subject of the book, and it will be explored and presented here using aerial photos, maps, panoramic views, and what we hope will be layman-accessible explanations.

  • Palestinian Citizens of Israel: Agenda for Change Hashem Mawlawi
    Palestinian Citizens of Israel: Agenda for Change Hashem Mawlawi Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master‘s degree in Conflict Studies School of Conflict Studies Faculty of Human Sciences Saint Paul University © Hashem Mawlawi, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 PALESTINIAN CITIZENS OF ISRAEL: AGENDA FOR CHANGE ii Abstract The State of Israel was established amid historic trauma experienced by both Jewish and Palestinian Arab people. These traumas included the repeated invasion of Palestine by various empires/countries, and the Jewish experience of anti-Semitism and the Holocaust. This culminated in the 1948 creation of the State of Israel. The newfound State has experienced turmoil since its inception as both identities clashed. The majority-minority power imbalance resulted in inequalities and discrimination against the Palestinian Citizens of Israel (PCI). Discussion of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict tends to assume that the issues of the PCIs are the same as the issues of the Palestinians in the Occupied Territories. I believe that the needs of the PCIs are different. Therefore, I have conducted a qualitative case study into possible ways the relationship between the PCIs and the State of Israel shall be improved. To this end, I provide a brief review of the history of the conflict. I explore themes of inequalities and models for change. I analyze the implications of the theories for PCIs and Israelis in the political, social, and economic dimensions. From all these dimensions, I identify opportunities for change. In proposing an ―Agenda for Change,‖ it is my sincere hope that addressing the context of the Israeli-Palestinian relationship may lead to a change in attitude and behaviour that will avoid perpetuating the conflict and its human costs on both sides.

  • When 1+1 Does Not Equal 2
    When 1+1 Does Not Equal 2 February 15, 2009 By Robbie Friedmann Special to the Jewish Times All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. Arthur Schopenhauer German philosopher (1788 - 1860) When it comes to settling the conflict in the Middle East one is flooded with too many contradicting options. Typically these options have numbers attached to them even if they do not add up. Forty two years ago it was the number one (state) and a couple of weeks ago that number has risen to five (states). It might appear that dealing with single digits should not be very complicated math but it provides clear proof that one does not need to deal with double digit options to realize the complexity of nebulous "peace" politics. In 1947 U.N. Resolution 181 (a.k.a. Partition Plan for Palestine) formalized the national homeland for the Jewish people. It was accepted by the emerging state of Israel which was established six months later. Yet the same resolution that also called for a creation of an Arab state (the original two-state solution) was completely rejected by the Arabs who ganged up on Israel invading it in their first of several annihilation efforts. In August-September 1967 thirteen Arab states pledged at the summit in Khartoum, Sudan, to continue their "struggle" against Israel with their infamous three "no" resolutions: no peace with Israel, no negotiations with Israel, and no recognition of Israel. From 1947 to the early 70s the score was 1:0.

  • The Propaganda War in Nasser's Egypt, 1952–1967
    DEFINING THE ENEMY AS ISRAEL, ZIONIST, NEO-NAZI, OR JEWISH: THE PROPAGANDA WAR IN NASSER’S EGYPT, 1952–1967 Michael Sharnoff President Gamal Abdel Nasser‘s repudiation that Egypt‘s conflict with Israel should be viewed in the context of Egypt‘s aversion to Zionism — not the Jewish people — requires a greater examination of the declarations and actions under Nasser‘s Egypt. To gain a more cogent understanding of Nasser‘s perception of Israel and Jews, it is necessary first to define anti-Zionism and antisemitism. Zionism is a political and nationalist movement which claims that Jews have the right to self-determination. Most Jews consider the manifestation of Zionism as the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 — the rebirth of their nation after nearly 2,000 years in exile. Anti- Zionists claim they do not have specific grievances against the Jewish people per se, but rather they do not believe that Jews constitute a distinct nation requiring a homeland in Israel. Many anti-Zionists espouse radical views such as calling for the liquidation of the state of Israel and the expulsion of the Jews living there. The European Union Agency for Human Rights defines antisemitism as a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of anti-Semitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, towards Jewish community institutions and religious facilities. This includes calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing of Jews; dehumanizing Jews; holding Jews collectively responsible for real or imagined events; denying or trivializing the Holocaust; and accusing Jews of dual loyalties or being more sympathetic to Israel than their own nations.

  • Forms, Ideals, and Methods. Bauhaus Transfers to Mandatory Palestine
    Ronny Schüler Forms, Ideals, and Methods. Bauhaus Transfers to Mandatory Palestine Introduction A “Bauhaus style” would be a setback to academic stagnation, into a state of inertia hostile to life, the combatting of which the Bauhaus was once founded. May the Bauhaus be saved from this death. Walter Gropius, 1930 The construction activities of the Jewish community in the British Mandate of Palestine represents a prominent paradigm for the spread of European avant-garde architecture. In the 1930s, there is likely no comparable example for the interaction of a similar variety of influences in such a confined space. The reception of architectural modernism – referred to as “Neues Bauen” in Germany – occurred in the context of a broad cultural transfer process, which had already begun in the wake of the waves of immigration (“Aliyot”) from Eu- rope at the end of the nineteenth century and had a formative effect within the emancipating Jewish community in Palestine (“Yishuv”). Among the growing number of immigrants who turned their backs on Europe with the rise of fas- cism and National Socialism were renowned intellectuals, artists, and archi- tects. They brought the knowledge and experience they had acquired in their 1 On the transfer process of modernity European homelands. In the opposite direction too, young people left to gain using the example of the British Mandate of Palestine, see. Heinze-Greenberg 2011; 1 professional knowledge, which was beneficial in their homeland. Dogramaci 2019; Stabenow/Schüler 2019. Despite the fact that, in the case of Palestine, the broad transfer processes were fueled by a number of sources and therefore represent the plurality of European architectural modernism, the Bauhaus is assigned outstanding 2 importance.

  • 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.
