  • Jerusalem Between Segregation and Integration: Reading Urban Space Through the Eyes of Justice Gad Frumkin
    chapter 8 Jerusalem between Segregation and Integration: Reading Urban Space through the Eyes of Justice Gad Frumkin Y. Wallach Introduction Jerusalem is seen as an archetypal example of a divided city, where extreme ethno-national polarization is deep rooted in a long history of segregation. In this chapter I challenge this perception by re-examining urban dynamics of late Ottoman and British Mandate Jerusalem, while questioning the manner in which urban segregation is theorized and understood. In the past few decades, there has been a reinvigorated scholarly discus- sion of urban segregation, driven by the challenges of difference and diversity.1 Entrenched segregation between different groups (defined by race, ethnicity, religion or class), or the “parallel lives” of different communities, living side by side with little contact, are seen to undermine the multicultural model of the late twentieth century. At the same time, mechanistic models of integration through urban mixing are increasingly challenged, and it is no longer accepted as evident that segregation is always undesirable. Nor is it obvious that everyday contact between different communities necessarily helps to engender greater understanding and dialogue. Scholars have been debating how to locate the discussion of urban encounter and segregation in the lived experience of the city. Writing on this topic suffers from the idealization of urban cosmopoli- tanism, on the one hand, or, conversely, describing segregation in overdeter- mined terms. To avoid this double pitfall, closer attention to the historical and spatial context is necessary, as well as close examination of socioeconomic real- ities. One suggestion, that I follow in this chapter, is to focus on life histories.2 By 1 This chapter forms part of ‘Conflict in Cities and the Contested Stated’ project, funded by the esrc’s Large Grants Programme (res-060-25-0015).

Al-Difa‘ added the sub-headings: “Facts and figures demonstrate the difficulties it [the municipality] encountered and the valuable tasks it undertook”; “The difficult period that followed the departure of the Mandate government”; “The remnants of the municipality and its finances”; “Gradual restitution of life to normal.” Between mid-May and late November 1948 a municipal council composed of senior Palestinian administrative employees led by Safieh undertook the municipal tasks in Jerusalem after the city’s administrative center fell under the control of the Zionist forces.

  • The Signatories of the Israel Declaration of Independence
    Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs The Signatories of the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel The British Mandate over Palestine was due to end on May 15, 1948, some six months after the United Nations had voted to partition Palestine into two states: one for the Jews, the other for the Arabs. While the Jews celebrated the United Nations resolution, feeling that a truncated state was better than none, the Arab countries rejected the plan, and irregular attacks of local Arabs on the Jewish population of the country began immediately after the resolution. In the United Nations, the US and other countries tried to prevent or postpone the establishment of a state, suggesting trusteeship, among other proposals. But by the time the British Mandate was due to end, the United Nations had not yet approved any alternate plan; officially, the partition plan was still "on the books." A dilemma faced the leaders of the yishuv, the Jewish community in Palestine. Should they declare the country's independence upon the withdrawal of the British mandatory administration, despite the threat of an impending attack by Arab states? Or should they wait, perhaps only a month or two, until conditions were more favorable? Under the leadership of David Ben-Gurion, who was to become the first Prime Minister of Israel, theVa'ad Leumi - the representative body of the yishuv under the British mandate - decided to seize the opportunity. At 4:00 PM on Friday, May 14, the national council, which had directed the Jewish community's affairs under the British Mandate, met in the Tel Aviv Museum on Rothschild Boulevard in Tel Aviv.

  • Zionism & Israel As the Nation-State of the Jewish People
    Zionism & Israel as the Nation-State of the Jewish People CUTTING THROUGH THE CONFUSION BY GOING BACK TO BASICS A Resource for the Global Jewish World Zionism & Israel as the Nation-State of the Jewish People CUTTING THROUGH THE CONFUSION BY GOING BACK TO BASICS A Resource by The Israel Forever Foundation THE PROBLEM The debates surrounding Zionism, Israel, and the legitimacy of a Nation State for the Jewish People seem never ending. The foundations on which the Jewish State was founded are constantly being questioned – both by the anti-Israel movement as well as within the Jewish world. Is Zionism racism? Is the word “Zionist” an insult? More and more people seem to think so. Social media’s magnification of individual voices has blurred the lines between what were until very recently extremist views one would not publicly express and narrative that is being expressed on college campuses, political pulpits and even mainstream media. Are we equipped to answer these accusations? Do we want to? How can we prepare the next generations to handle what is coming? In a time of pluralism and globalism, is the Jewish State legitimate? The legitimacy of the Jewish State has been questioned since (before) her establishment. The recent passing of Israel’s Nation State Law has been the impetus for renewed questioning. Many in the Jewish world have felt uneasy about the law, fearing it undermines the inherent pluralism of the Jewish State. What is the balance between Jewish Nationalism, Israel as a homeland for the Jewish People and Israel as a modern, liberal and pluralist country? What are the concerns? How should they be addressed? Confusion within the Jewish world We know that antisemitism is on the rise.

It includes new acquisitions of material, which have been received recently at the CZA. In addition, a new section has been added, the Maps and Plans Section. Some of the collections that make up this section did appear in the previous Guide, but did not make up a separate section. The decision to collect the various collections in one section reflects the large amount of maps and plans that have been acquired in the last two years and the advancements made in this sphere at the CZA. Similarly, general information about two additional collections has been added in the Guide, the Collection of Announcements and the Collection of Badges. Explanation of the symbols, abbreviations and the structure of the Guide: Dates appearing alongside the record groups names, signify: - with regard to institutional archives: the period in which the material that is stored in the CZA was created. - with regard to personal archives: the birth and death dates of the person. Dates have not been given for living people.

  • Israel and American Jews: the Economic Connection by E L I
    Israel and American Jews: The Economic Connection by Eli Ginzberg Columbia University Prepared for the Task Force on American Jewish-Israel Community Relationship Jerusalem, January 1977 Acknowledgments I want to thank the following individuals for helping me gain access to the relevant sources of information and for reviewing the draft of this essay. I must emphasize, however, that I alone am responsible for the analysis of the material and for the conclusions drawn from it. Dr. Michael Abramoff, President, Brager and Company The Honorable Michael Arnon, President, State of Israel Bonds Mrs. S.P. Goldberg, Assistant Director, Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds Dr. George E. Gruen, Director, Israel and Middle East Affairs, American Jewish Committee The Honorable Ze'ev Sher, Economic Minister, Embassy of Israel The most recent authoritative data on the Israel economy is contained in the Prospectus of August 2, 1976: $1,000,000,000 Reconstruction and Development Issue, State of Israel, Development Corporation of Israel, 215 Park Avenue South, New York, New York 10003. 1. Introduction Economists are fond of explaining the whole world in terms of a simple model of a market in which producers and consumers are constantly engaged in a struggle to improve their respective positions at one another's expense. And they are not wrong in giving weight to Adam Smith's insight into the universal propensity of men to barter and trade. But I learned early during my first visit to Israel in 1953 that the conventional wis• dom of the West was not totally relevant to gaining an understanding of the situation of the newly established state on the Eastern Mediterranean coast.
