Many of the sources posed problems concerning numerical data on immi­ gration, especially for the months leading up to the end of the British Mandate, January-April 1948, and the first few months of the state, May­ August 1948. The researchers point out that 7,574 immigrant data cards are missing from the records and believe this to be due to the 'circumstances of the times'. Records are complete from September 1948 onward, and an important population census was held in November 1948. A parallel record­ ing system conducted by the Jewish Agency, which continued to operate after that of the Mandatory Government, provided us with statistical data for immigration during 1948-9 and made it possible to analyse the part taken by the Holocaust survivors. 2. Sikron, in Immigration into Israel, A, p. 82, declares specifically that all the systems of categorization used by the Israeli authorities until the end of 1949 were flawed. Also: 'The report of the Zionist Federation and the Jewish Agency on activity for the years 1947-51', presented to the 23rd Zionist Congress in Jerusalem 1951. 3. Statistics on age were taken from the following sources: Gil, Immigrants' Settlements, p. 13; Dvorsetsky, The Holocaust Survivors, pp. 83-115; Annual Statistical Report, 1950, p. 19: Sikron, pp. 46-7. 279 280 Survivors of the Holocaust 4.

See also: Bachi, The Demographic Development, p.382. 13. Dvorsetsky, Demographic Problems, pp. 27, 28 shows reservation by say­ ing that care should be taken in accepting his conclusions on emigration, since significant differences exist between the number of immigrants who declared their intention to leave the country and those who actually did, whose number is greater. 14.

The file contains more letters on this. 19. A letter from Mr Pladt to the newspaper, Yediot Aharonot dated 15 February 1954, NA, Department 105, file 51: The unfortunate problem of emigration stems from the fact that not enough attention is paid to elderly and old people who lost the foundations of their existence during the Nazi occupation. These people sometimes find themselves facing the harsh reality of starvation, or reaching a decision on leaving the country.' 20. Letter from the Director General of the Foreign Ministry to the Ministry of Defence: 'most of the people want to return to Hungary because they claim that what was left of their families stayed there and that there is no possibility of their being reunited with them unless they return to Hungary' (original emphasis). I would point out that this claim was received in Israel with a certain reserve and considered to be propaganda put out by the Hungarian Consulate, who, according to the Foreign Ministry, used emo­ tional pressure to persuade the emigration authorities to permit free emigration from Israel. None the less, in an interview with Andrash Mezei, a Hungrian Jewish writer, at his home in Budapest on 24 August 1986, he claimed that the main reason for his return to Hungary in 1950 after having come to live in Israel in 1948, had been his desire to return to his mother. 21. See letter from Dr Yehushua Grinbaum to the Consular Section in the Foreign Ministry, NA, Foreign 2533/33: 're: Dr Max Zeinman, Many Jews are returning to Austria'. As for the emigrants to Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Austria, who asked to return to their countries of origin, it should be pointed out that these did not mostly pass through the displaced persons camps in Europe ~ a way-station which included something of a declara­ tion regarding their severance from their motherland. They can therefore be seen as ordinary emigrants, disappointed by their new countries and deciding to return to their original one. Those going to Romania and Poland, for example, wanted to leave Israel and emigrate to countries other than their countries of origin. They were mostly immigrants who had spent considerable time in DP camps. No data exist, to confirm this claim, but it merits a thorough review. 2 OLD REFUGEES AND NEW REFUGEES 1. Ben-Gurion's diary, 21 April 1949, Ben-Gurion Archives (BGA); Murphy, The Refugees in Israel, p. 164, gives 140,000 as the number of settlers in the abandoned places; Aron Zisling sums up the way in which the immigrants were integrated in the abandoned towns and villages as being 'a shameful dis­ grace', an answer to Ben-Gurion for his offhand attitude to the contribution 282 Survivors of the Holocaust made by the kibbutzim to this integration, Hashomer Hatzair Archives 31190(1).

    Aliya Chalutzit from America, 1939-48

    1 Aliya of American Pioneers By Yehuda Sela (Silverman) From Hebrew: Arye Malkin A) Aliya1 Attempts During WW II The members of the Ha‟Shomer Ha‟Tzair2 Zionist Youth Movement searched a long time for some means to get to the shores of the Land of Israel (Palestine). They all thought that making Aliya was preferable to joining the Canadian or the American Army, which would possibly have them fighting in some distant war, unrelated to Israel. Some of these efforts seem, in retrospect, unimaginable, or at least naïve. There were a number of discussions on this subject in the Secretariat of Kibbutz Aliya Gimel (hereafter: KAG) and the question raised was whether individual private attempts to make Aliya should be allowed. The problems were quite complicated, and rather than deciding against the effort to make Aliya, it was decided to allow these efforts in special cases. Later on the Secretariat decided against these private individual efforts. The members attempted several ways to pursue this goal, but none were successful. Some applied for a truck driver position with a company that operated in Persia, building roads to connect the Persian Gulf and the Caspian Sea. Naturally, holding a driving license that did not qualify one for heavy vehicles did not help. Another way was to volunteer to be an ambulance driver in the Middle East, an operation that was being run by the Quakers; this was a pacifist organization that had carried out this sort of work during the First World War. An organization called „The American Field Service‟ recruited its members from the higher levels of society.

    The Scale Insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) of Oak Trees (Fagaceae: Quercus Spp.) in Israel

    ISRAEL JOURNAL OF ENTOMOLOGY, Vol. 43, 2013, pp. 95-124 The scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) of oak trees (Fagaceae: Quercus spp.) in Israel MALKIE SPODEK1,2, YAIR BEN-DOV1 AND ZVI MENDEL1 1Department of Entomology, Volcani Center, Agricultural Research Organization, POB 6, Bet Dagan 50250, Israel 2Department of Entomology, Robert H. Smith Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Environment, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, POB 12, Rehovot 76100, Israel Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) of four species of oaks (Fagaceae: Quercus) in Israel namely, Q. boissieri, Q. calliprinos, Q. ithaburensis, and Q. look were collected and identified from natural forest stands during the period 2010-2013. A total of twenty-seven species were determined from nine scale insect families: Asterolecaniidae (3 species), Coccidae (3), Di- aspididae (7), Eriococcidae (3), Kermesidae (6), Kuwaniidae (1), Mono- phlebidae (1), Pseudococcidae (2), and Putoidae (1). Six of these species represent new records for Israel and five are identified to the genus level. Kuwaniidae is a new family record for Israel. Species that were previously collected or recorded on oaks in Israel are listed and discussed. Information is given about host trees and global distribution. The majority of the spe- cies reported here are monophagous or stenophagous and they appear to be non-pestiferous to the oak trees in Israel. General traits that describe each scale insect family in the field are provided, together with an identification key to aid in the determination of slide-mounted specimens into families represented in this study. KEY WORDS: Scale insect, Coccoidea, oak trees, Quercus, forest, survey, monophagous, univoltine, Mediterranean, Israel INTRODUCTION The genus Quercus (Fagaceae) has a rich and diverse arthropod fauna associated with it (Southwood, 1961; Southwood et al., 2005).

The location is also consonant with the master plan for Wadi Ara development. The industrial zone has a total area of 1085 dunams (c. 268 acres), with 628,000 square meters for industrial and commercial buildings and another c. 15,000 square meters of public buildings. by Yaniv Golan This week Menashe Regional Council chairman Ilan Sadeh and architect Leah Perry, the council engineer for the Menashe-Alona Regional Planning and Building Committee, signed off on the plans, which were forwarded for registration with the Haifa District Planning and Building Committee, prior to final approval of the plans. The Iron Industrial Zone will be shared by six Jewish and Arab local councils in the northern Sharon area of Wadi Ara. The new industrial zone is an initiative of Menashe Regional Council chairman Ilan Sadeh. Behind this project is a unique Jewish-Arab partnership involving Jewish councils – the Menashe regional council and the Harish local council – alongside a series of Arab councils in Wadi Ara – the Umm al Fahm municipality, the Kfar Qara local council, the Basma local council (comprising Barta’a, Ein a-Sahle and Muawiya) and the Arara local council.

    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.
