N. Y. 10017 TO THE UNITED NATIONS OXFORD 7-5500. 8 November 1973 Excellency, On instructions of my Government, I have the honour to refer to the letter addressed to you on 3 November 1973 (A/9283 - S/11077) by the Permanent Representative of Egypt and to state the following: The letter of the Permanent Representative of Egypt falsely attributes certain statements to Col. Nahman Karni, and then purports to "disprove" its own fabrications. In accordance with its usual practice, Egypt tries, by means of deliberate falsifications, to divert attention from its daily violations of the cease-fire and from its attempts to improve its lines and find openings in the ring encircling its Third Army. Israel has been regularly submitting protests against all such violations. What Col. Karni in fact said in his statement of 3 November,, is set out in my letters to you of the same date (A/9279 - S/11073; A/9282 - S/11076). His Excellency Dr. Kurt Waldheim The Secretary-General 6', CL (I) ,t A 6 -f % - -2- None of the statements which the Egyptian military spokesman attrib~utes to Col. Karni were made by him. They are all blatant lies. For example, no "heavy fighting" took place in "the sector of the Egyptian Third Army". The Egyptians did not succeed "in establishing a bridgehead". in fact, the bridge they did throw across the Canal was destroyed immediately. It is equally a lie that the Third Army had advanced and fortified its positions. The same applies to all the other statements falsely attributed to Col. Karni in the letter under reply. I have the honour to request that this letter be circulated as an official document of the General Assembly and the Security Council. Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.

LLD RV CrLLQ 7 PERMANENT 800 SECOND AVENUE REPRESENTATIVE OF ISRAEL NEW YORK, N. Y. 10017 '10 THE UNITED NATIONS OXFORD 7-5500 7' November 1973 Excellency, On instructions of my Government I have the honour to refer to a letter from the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Syrian. Arab Republic addressed to you on 31 October 1973 (A/9271 S/l11066) and to state the following: As stated in my letter to you of 19 October 1973 (S/1103)4), the Government of Israel, on 8 October 1973, officially informed the Representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Israel that "being a party to the Four Geneva Conventions Israel will strictly observe their provisions in the current hostilities." The Israel Government demands that Syria should complyI with its unconditional obligation under the Third Geneva Convention concerning- the transmission of the names of the Israeli prisoners of war in its power, as well as concerning visits to these prisoners by representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross. In their efforts to cover up their violation -of this elementary obligation the Syrians spread disgusting atrocity stories, such as contained in their letter of 31 October 1973. Israel did not purposely attack any civilian objectives In Syria and its attacks were directed exclusively against objectives which may be attacked in accordance with the rules of international public law~such as military Installations, military camps and bases, the headquarters of the Syrian Air Force and the Syrian Defence Ministry in Damascus, airfields and industrial plants and installations which are operating for the Syrian war effort. His Excellency Ctj, t Dr. Kurt Waldheim U The S-ecretary-General uýWý_- -2- In this connexion I would refer to article 47 of the Draft Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions, 1949, prepared by the International Committee of' the Red Cross, reading as follows: it1. Attacks shall be strictly limited to military objectives, namely, to those objectives which are, by their nature, purpose or use,; recognized to be of military interest and whose total or partial destruction, in the circumstances ruling at the time, offers a distinct and substantial military advantage. 2. Consequently,, objects designed for civilian use, such as houses., dwellings, installatio *ns and means of transport, and all objects which are not military objectives., shall not be made the object of' attack, except if'they are used mainly in support of' the military effort. " It is also stressed that in the aforesaid attacks no time bombs were used, as maliciously alleged by the Syrians. It is further stressed that if a state places missile and gun batteries or other military installations in inhabited localities, that State is responsible f'or all the results ensuing from attacks on such military objectives. On the other hand, from the very outset of their aggression against Israel on 6 October 1973,.the Syrians have premeditatedly and purposely attacked and hit civilian objectives-in Israel and the administered areas~as was set out in my letter to you of' 19 October 1973 (A/9245 - S/11035). In those attacks Jewish and Druze men., women and children were killed and wounded. Israel has not harmed the inhabitants in any Syrian locality,. has not expelled them and has not encouraged them to leave their homes. If any of the inhabitants left the battle zone., then this occurred, as it does in the case of' all wars1 because of their desire to escape from the dangers of war, which had been caused by the Syrian aggression. Thousands of local Inhabitants have remained in their places of residence, continue their daily pursuits and receive all the necessary services. ~ 'P7 Everything is being, done in order to deal with their problems be necessary.

  • 2006 Abstracts
    Works in Progress Group in Modern Jewish Studies Session Many of us in the field of modern Jewish studies have felt the need for an active working group interested in discussing our various projects, papers, and books, particularly as we develop into more mature scholars. Even more, we want to engage other committed scholars and respond to their new projects, concerns, and methodological approaches to the study of modern Jews and Judaism, broadly construed in terms of period and place. To this end, since 2001, we have convened a “Works in Progress Group in Modern Jewish Studies” that meets yearly in connection with the Association for Jewish Studies Annual Conference on the Saturday night preceding the conference. The purpose of this group is to gather interested scholars together and review works in progress authored by members of the group and distributed and read prior to the AJS meeting. 2006 will be the sixth year of a formal meeting within which we have exchanged ideas and shared our work with peers in a casual, constructive environment. This Works in Progress Group is open to all scholars working in any discipline within the field of modern Jewish studies. We are a diverse group of scholars committed to engaging others and their works in order to further our own projects, those of our colleagues, and the critical growth of modern Jewish studies. Papers will be distributed in November. To participate in the Works in Progress Group, please contact: Todd Hasak-Lowy, email: [email protected] or Adam Shear, email: [email protected] Co-Chairs: Todd S.

  • 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.

  • A Test of Rival Strategies: Two Ships Passing in the Night
    Chapter 4 A Test of Rival Strategies: Two Ships Passing in the Night Giora Romm The purpose of this essay is to analyze several prominent military aspects of the war in Lebanon and derive the main lessons from them. The essay does not deal in historical explanations of what caused any particular instance of military thinking or any specific achievement. Rather, the analysis points to four main conclusions: the importance of clear expression at the command level to reduce the battle fog; the phenomenon of military blindness with respect to the role played by short range rockets (Katyushas) in the overall military campaign; the alarming performance of the ground forces; and the critical importance of an exit strategy and identification of the war’s optimal end point from the very outset of the war. The War and its Goals The 2006 Lebanon war began on July 12 and continued for thirty-three days. The event began as a military operation designed to last one day or a few days. As matters dragged on and became more complicated, more vigorous terms were used to describe the fighting. Several months after the campaign, the government officially recognized it as a “war.” This was a war in which the political leadership tried to define political goals before the war and in the opening days of the fighting, something that did not occur in most of Israel’s wars. This attempt was unsuccessful, however. What appeared to be the political goals changed in the course 50 I Giora Romm of the fighting, at least judging by speeches made by the senior political leadership during the conflict.

    MEMORY TRACE FAZAL SHEIKH 2 3 Front and back cover image: ‚ ‚ 31°50 41”N / 35°13 47”E Israeli side of the Separation Wall on the outskirts of Neve Yaakov and Beit Ḥanīna. Just beyond the wall lies the neighborhood of al-Ram, now severed from East Jerusalem. Inside front and inside back cover image: ‚ ‚ 31°49 10”N / 35°15 59”E Palestinian side of the Separation Wall on the outskirts of the Palestinian town of ʿAnata. The Israeli settlement of Pisgat Ze’ev lies beyond in East Jerusalem. This publication takes its point of departure from Fazal Sheikh’s Memory Trace, the first of his three-volume photographic proj- ect on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Published in the spring of 2015, The Erasure Trilogy is divided into three separate vol- umes—Memory Trace, Desert Bloom, and Independence/Nakba. The project seeks to explore the legacies of the Arab–Israeli War of 1948, which resulted in the dispossession and displacement of three quarters of the Palestinian population, in the establishment of the State of Israel, and in the reconfiguration of territorial borders across the region. Elements of these volumes have been exhibited at the Slought Foundation in Philadelphia, Storefront for Art and Architecture, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and the Pace/MacGill Gallery in New York, and will now be presented at the Al-Ma’mal Foundation for Contemporary Art in East Jerusalem, and the Khalil Sakakini Cultural Center in Ramallah. In addition, historical documents and materials related to the history of Al-’Araqīb, a Bedouin village that has been destroyed and rebuilt more than one hundred times in the ongoing “battle over the Negev,” first presented at the Slought Foundation, will be shown at Al-Ma’mal.
