This was the home of Avraham Shapira, one of the earliest residents and guards of Petah. Tikvah. Fourteen kilometers from Tel Aviv, Petah. Tikvah was founded as a Jewish agricultural colony in 1878 on lands purchased from an Arab landowner in the Palestinian village of Mulabbis. As other such colonies followed in the ensuing decades, Petah. Tikvah was called “Em Ha-Moshavot,” the mother of the Jewish agricultural colonies. Over time, these communities became the core symbols of what would be known as the “First Aliyah,” or first wave, of Zionist land settlement. The Shapira house, preserved today as a municipal event space, displays some of Shapira’s treasured possessions: Arab headdresses, a nargilah (water pipe), and a Bedouin sword. The Shapira house offers an instructive example of the politics of remembering, narrating, displaying, and deploying the Jewish settlement past in Palestine/ Israel. Petah. Tikvah was founded as an effectively all-Jewish community, one that grew rapidly after World War I, and in 1937 was recognized as a city. Following the Israeli destruction of most of the Arab villages in the region during and after the 1948 war, it became a Jewish city in a region populated almost exclusively by Jews.

    Conversation about life in Kamenka, 1920s-1940s Written by Elisha Roith, Israel On August 3, 2002, Ofra Zilbershats invited the surviving children of Tsipa Shlafer and Mordekhai Perlman. Rokhele and Manya were already deceased, at that time. Judith participated in the conversation, at the age of 94, Borya was 92 years old, and Sarah was 85. Additional participants were their daughters Dalia, Ofra, and Amira, their spouses, and Elisha, the 'senior grandchild,' Rokhele's son. Elisha began the meeting, attempting to delineate the parameters of the dialogue, and the sequence of events. He concluded his remarks in stating that "in Kaminka, there were some pogroms, a bit of revolution…" Borya: Some?! I remember a lot!... they called it a street there 'Yendrot' - the other street, that is how they called it. Judith: That was also the main street. Borya: And I should quite like to go there, and wish I could merit reciting qaddish over the grave of Grandmother and Grandfather. My grandmother was killed in front of me, I saw her, and how they murdered her - and the reason that I saw her... it was a pogrom. Elisha: Whose? By Petlura? Borya: No, no. By Denikin. We ran off, we had some Christian neighbors who were not bad; we escaped to their house, and they hid us. Grandmother was with us, and at noon, she suddenly said, "I need to see what is going on there." She wanted to see if the house was still in order, if it yet stood. I said... I was still a child... We said, "No.

  • History and Politics of Nomadism in Modern Palestine (1882-1948)
    History and Politics of Nomadism in Modern Palestine (1882-1948) A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Arabic and Islamic Studies By Seraje Assi, M.A. Washington, DC May 30, 2016 Copyright 2016 by Seraje Assi All Rights Reserved ii History and Politics of Nomadism in Modern Palestine (1882-1948) Seraje Assi, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Judith Tucker, Ph.D. ABSTRACT My research examines contending visions on nomadism in modern Palestine. It is a comparative study that covers British, Arab and Zionist attitudes to nomadism. By nomadism I refer to a form of territorialist discourse, one which views tribal formations as the antithesis of national and land rights, thus justifying the exteriority of nomadism to the state apparatus. Drawing on primary sources in Arabic and Hebrew, I show how local conceptions of nomadism have been reconstructed on new legal taxonomies rooted in modern European theories and praxis. By undertaking a comparative approach, I maintain that the introduction of these taxonomies transformed not only local Palestinian perceptions of nomadism, but perceptions that characterized early Zionist literature. The purpose of my research is not to provide a legal framework for nomadism on the basis of these taxonomies. Quite the contrary, it is to show how nomadism, as a set of official narratives on the Bedouin of Palestine, failed to imagine nationhood and statehood beyond the single apparatus of settlement. iii The research and writing of this thesis is dedicated to everyone who helped along the way.

  • Ilan Pappé Zionism As Colonialism
    Ilan Pappé Zionism as Colonialism: A Comparative View of Diluted Colonialism in Asia and Africa Introduction: The Reputation of Colonialism Ever since historiography was professionalized as a scientific discipline, historians have consid- ered the motives for mass human geographical relocations. In the twentieth century, this quest focused on the colonialist settler projects that moved hundreds of thousands of people from Europe into America, Asia, and Africa in the pre- ceding centuries. The various explanations for this human transit have changed considerably in recent times, and this transformation is the departure point for this essay. The early explanations for human relocations were empiricist and positivist; they assumed that every human action has a concrete explanation best found in the evidence left by those who per- formed the action. The practitioners of social his- tory were particularly interested in the question, and when their field of inquiry was impacted by trends in philosophy and linguistics, their conclusion differed from that of the previous generation. The research on Zionism should be seen in light of these historiographical developments.

  • The Tantalizing Aroma of Citrus Blossoms
    ONE The Tantalizing Aroma of Citrus Blossoms FOR MOST PEOPLE in the Yishuv—the pre-state Jewish community in Eretz Israel (Palestine)—in the late Ottoman and the British Mandate peri- ods, citriculture evoked a tapestry of images that would later evolve into sacred symbols of the Israeli experience: the tantalizing aroma of citrus blossoms blanketing the whole country, heralding the end of the cold win- ter and the advent of spring; the picker’s pleasant fatigue at sunset after a grueling day in the orchards in agonizing struggle for the “conquest of labor” (the Zionist term for establishing the primacy of Jewish, as opposed to Arab, labor); and the ardent faith, the parched throat, and the clenched fists in vehement protest against Jewish citrus growers in the moshavot (pri- vately owned agricultural colonies, sing. moshava) who used Arab labor. The imagery included fresh orange juice at streetcorner kiosks and in household kitchens; the reliable low-tech metal orange squeezer with the long handle; the bitter taste of green, unripe oranges, which twists faces into that well-known expression of abhorrence; homemade orange candies and the assorted byproducts of Assis, Ltd. A whole succession of visual sym- bols identified the citrus enterprise with the young, muscular haluts (Zion- ist pioneer): the sturdy hoe, clutched firmly, the first furrows in the orchard, and the outcome—citrus trees sagging with their bounty of gleaming fruit. All of these were ineradicable images of the burgeoning Jewish settlement project in Palestine. Underlying this world of symbols was a socioeconomic reality without which it could not have existed.

  • Introduction
    Introduction In March 1924 the Comrades’ Court of the Haifa labor council sum- moned Israel Litvak, a worker at the Rosenfeld printing workshop, to a trial.1 The council—the local representative of the Histadrut,2 of which Litvak was a member—was suing him for violating a strike action un- dertaken by his fellow printing workers: he had returned to work before the end of the strike and the ensuing legal action against the strikers at the Haifa District Court. The council, its secretary David Cohen claimed, “made it clear to him that this act devalues the prestige of the Histadrut and harms the strike. Without it we may have ended the strike more suc- cessfully, for this act satisfi ed the employer.” The secretary continued: “This is a breach of a brotherly alliance. I want to emphasize that we asked member Litvak to wait at least until the trial was over. He claimed that he cannot wait because of family reasons. I think that member Litvak, who places his private aff airs above those of the Histadrut, cannot be found among us.” Constituting insult to and betrayal of Litvak’s fellow strikers and the Histadrut, the act, according to the council, deserved severe punishment. “I waited ten weeks,” Litvak answered: I could not anymore. I was in a diffi cult condition. Anyway I said that if the strike ended I must return [to work]. I did not betray the Histadrut, but went with all the others. … Everybody concurred that I shall return to work aft er the end of the trial.

  • This Article Explores Attitudes Toward Death and Bereavement in The
    QUEST N. 12 – FOCUS The Attitude toward Bereavement in Everyday Life in the Jewish Agricultural Settlements of Eretz Israel, from the First Aliyah to the 1920s by Devorah Giladi and Yossi Goldstein Abstract This article explores attitudes toward death and bereavement in the Jewish agricultural settlements of Eretz Israel (Land of Israel) from the First Aliyah (1881) to the 1920s, based primarily on newspapers of the period. The sources indicate that whereas members of the First Aliyah viewed death as a failure of the Zionist act and strived to conceal it to the best of their ability, the pioneers of the Second Aliyah effected a revolution in this realm, articulating a perspective that viewed death in the name of the Zionist act with pride and veneration as an attribute of the “new Jew.” This positive attitude focused on the casualties of Jewish guarding who were killed during clashes with Arabs, but also went further. Overall, the Zionist pioneers perceived blood as a means of actualizing the relationship between the Jew and Eretz Israel and expressed a desire to saturate the Land with their blood. The height of this process was the well- known pre-death utterance of Yosef Trumpeldor – a defender of the Jewish settlements in the Upper Galilee in the 1920s – that “it is good to die for our homeland.” This positive attitude toward sacrifice remained a prominent attribute of Zionism for many years to come.
