Colonialism, Colonization, and Land Law in Mandate Palestine: the Zor Al-Zarqa and Barrat Qisarya Land Disputes in Historical Perspective
Theoretical Inquiries in Law 4.2 (2003) Colonialism, Colonization, and Land Law in Mandate Palestine: The Zor al-Zarqa and Barrat Qisarya Land Disputes in Historical Perspective Geremy Forman & Alexandre Kedar* This articlefocuses on land rights, land law, and land administration within a multilayered colonial setting by examining a major land dispute in British-ruled Palestine (1917-1948). Our research reveals that the Mandate legal system extinguished indigenous rights to much land in the Zor al-Zarqa and Barrat Qisarya regions through its use of "colonial law"- the interpretation of Ottoman law by colonial officials, the use of foreign legal concepts, and the transformation of Ottoman law through supplementary legislation.However the colonial legal system was also the site of local resistance by some Palestinian Arabs attempting to remain on their land in the face of the pressure of the Mandate authorities and Jewish colonization officials. This article sheds light on the dynamics of the Mandate legal system and colonial law in the realm of land tenure relations.It also suggests that the joint efforts of Mandate and Jewish colonization officials to appropriate Geremy Forman is a Ph.D. candidate in the University of Haifa's Department of Land of Israel Studies.

Graduate Center. Spring 2018. Doctoral Program in History
1 City University of New York – Graduate Center. Spring 2018. Doctoral Program in History/Master’s Program in Middle Eastern Studies Room: Course Number: HIST 78110/MES 74500 Tuesday: 6:30 – 8:30 PM. Course Instructor: Simon Davis, [email protected] Office Phone: (718) 289 5677. Palestine Under The British Mandate: Origins, Evolutions and Implications, 1906-1949. This course examines how and with what consequences British interests at the time of the First World War identified and pursued control over Palestine, the subsequent forms such projections took, the crises which followed and their eventual consequences. Particular themes will be explored through analytical discussions of assigned historiographic materials, chiefly recent journal literature. Learning Objectives: Students will be encouraged to evaluate still-contested historical phenomena such as British undertakings with Zionism, colonialist relationships with Arab Palestine, institution-making and economic development, social and cultural transformations, resistance and political violence. This will be understood in the broader context of Middle Eastern politics in the era of late European colonial imperialism. Consonant and particular local experience in Palestine will also be addressed, exploring the effect of British Mandatory administration, especially in ethnic and sectarian-inflected questions of status, social and material conditions, identity, community, law and justice, expression and political rights. Finally, how and why did the Mandate end in a British debacle, Zionist triumph and Arab Palestinian catastrophe, with what main legacies resulting? On the basis of these studies students will each complete a research essay from the list below, along with a number of smaller critical exercises, and a final examination. -
Mapping Modern Palestine: Mythical Conquest and Scientific Dispossession
UNPUBLISHED WORK – Please do not circulate or cite without the author’s permission Mapping Modern Palestine: Mythical conquest and scientific dispossession Linda Quiquivix Department of Geography University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill [email protected] August 30, 2011 Prepared for non-exclusive use by UNRWA/BMU’s statistical mapping project Palestine’s first modern map was the product of a colonial errand. In the spring of 1798, with only Britain left standing in the way of his empire, Napoleon Bonaparte pointed his warships toward Egypt. His imperial goal: to block British access to the Red Sea route to India, Britain’s most valuable colony. His mystical goal: to conquer the East in the style of Alexander the Great, Bonaparte’s spiritual role model. To help his troops take the region for France, he welcomed Paris’s top scientists aboard the expedition, charging them with making the foreign territory readable. As the head scholar would later recall, the line between scientist and soldier often blurred: “We were many times obliged to replace our weapons with geometrical instruments, and in a sense, to fight over or to conquer the terrain that we were to measure.” Although the expedition ended in disaster, Bonaparte’s scientists would return home to produce an encyclopedia, La Description de l’Égypte. It was an epic work, depicting to Western audiences the Eastern Mediterranean as an ancient, mythical land. But accompanying its sketches and studies on archeology and historical geography, the encyclopedia also detailed the region’s plants, animals, minerals, medicine, water sources, demography, and agricultural practices as the French troops encountered them circa 1800. -

The Denied Inheritance: Palestinian Land Ownership in Beer Sheba
The Denied Inheritance: Palestinian Land Ownership in Beer Sheba Salman Abu Sitta Founder and President, Palestine Land Society, London Paper presented to the International Fact Finding Mission Initiated by RCUV, Beer Sheba Father: This land was Arab land before you are born. The fields and villages were theirs. But you do not see many of them now. There are only flourishing Jewish colonies where they used to be….because a great miracle happened to us… Daughter: How can one take land which belongs to someone else, cultivating that land and living off it? — There is nothing difficult about that. All you need is force. Once you have power you can. — But is there no law? Are there no courts in Israel? — Of course there are. But they only held up matters very briefly. The Arabs did go to our courts and asked for their land back from those who stole it. And the judges decided that yes, the Arabs are the legal owners of the fields they have tilled for generations. — Well then, if that is the decision of the judges… we are a law-abiding nation. — No, my dear, it is not quite like that. If the law decides against the thief, and the thief is very powerful, then he makes another law supporting his view. The father is Maariv founder and first editor, Dr. Israel Carlebach. This exchange was published in Maariv, 25th December 1953. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Original Sin It is impossible to examine the Palestinian land ownership in Israel outside the context of the general Palestine-Israel conflict. -

The Politics of Home in Jerusalem: Partitions, Parks, and Planning Futures
THE POLITICS OF HOME IN JERUSALEM: PARTITIONS, PARKS, AND PLANNING FUTURES Nathan W. Swanson A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Geography. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Banu Gökarıksel Sara Smith John Pickles Sarah Shields Nadia Yaqub © 2016 Nathan W. Swanson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Nathan W. Swanson: The Politics of Home in Jerusalem: Partitions, Parks, and Planning Futures (Under the direction of Banu Gökarıksel) At a time when Palestine and Palestinians are ubiquitously framed through the “Israeli- Palestinian conflict” and the “peace process”, the spaces of everyday life for Palestinians are often ignored. This is in spite of the fact that so many of the Israeli policies and technologies of occupation and settlement are experienced materially by Palestinians in these spaces. In this dissertation, then, drawing on feminist geopolitics, I consider everyday Palestinian spaces like the home, neighborhood, and village—with a focus on Jerusalem—to better understand geographies of occupation and settlement in Palestine/Israel today. I argue, through attention to Palestinian experiences on the ground, that widespread representations of Jerusalem as either a “united” or “divided” city fail to capture the Palestinian experience, which is actually one of fragmentation, both physical and social. As a case study in fragmentation, I turn to the zoning of Israeli national parks in and between Palestinian neighborhoods, arguing that parks have served the purposes of settlement in less politicized ways than West Bank settlement blocs, but like the settlement blocs, have resulted in dispossession and restrictions on Palestinian construction, expansion, and movement. -
Introduction
Introduction IN THE COURSE of writing this book, I passed a small milestone in my life. Twenty years ago, while researching my doctoral dissertation on the theory of Zionism, I came across a newly published book on the Israel- Palestine conflict: From Time Immemorial: The Origins of the Arab- Jewish Conflict over Palestine by Joan Peters.1 Promising to revolution- ize our understanding of the conflict, the book was adorned on the back cover with glowing praise from the Who’s Who of American Arts and Letters (Saul Bellow, Elie Wiesel, Barbara Tuchman, Lucy Dawid- owicz, and others), and it went on to garner scores of reviews in the mainstream media ranging from ecstasy to awe. Its first edition, eventu- ally going into seven hardback printings, became a national best seller. The central thesis of Peters’s book, apparently supported by nearly two thousand notes and a recondite demographic study, was that Palestine had been virtually empty on the eve of Zionist colonization and that, after Jews made the deserted parts of Palestine they settled bloom, Arabs from neighboring states and other parts of Palestine migrated to the Jewish areas and pretended to be indigenous. Here was the, as it 1. New York: Harper and Row, 1984. 1 2 INTRODUCTION were, scientific proof that Golda Meir had been right after all: there was no such thing as Palestinians. As it happened, From Time Immemorial was a colossal hoax. Cited sources were mangled, key numbers in the demographic study falsified, and large swaths plagiarized from Zionist propaganda tracts. Docu- menting the hoax and the rather more onerous challenge of publicizing these findings in the media proved to be a turning point for me. -

Into the Breach
Chapter 2 Into the Breach 1 From Lake Success to Palestine: the UN Partition Plan 1.1 Another War After its initial activities in Lake Success and upon gathering information and hearing from the principal political, social and religious actors in Palestine, the UN Special Commission for Palestine went to Beirut and then Geneva to draft a final report. The path to finding a political formula that would make parti- tion acceptable to both sides seemed arduous. Seven of the eleven UNSCOP member countries – Sweden, the Netherlands, Canada, Uruguay, Guatemala, Peru and Czechoslovakia – came together to elaborate on a territorial division that was supposed to take account of two factors: first was the demographic question, separating Palestinians and Jews and avoiding the creation of enemy enclaves within the future Palestinian and Israeli states as much as possible; the second centered on territorial continuity. The division was outlined by the vice president of the UN commission, the Swedish diplomat Paul Mohn: the Jews were to receive 62 percent of Palestine, specifically, the coastal plain from Haifa to Rehovot (including Tel Aviv and Jaffa), eastern Galilee (includ- ing Tiberias and Safed, both holy cities for the Jews) and the Negev desert; the Palestinians should receive the remaining 35 percent, including central and western Galilee (where the Palestinian cities of Acre and Nazareth are located), the region of Hebron, a holy city for Muslims and Jews, and the areas of Nablus and Jenin. The zone containing Jerusalem and Bethlehem was to constitute a corpus separatum; it would be constituted as an enclave under international control.
