    Nisan / The Levantine Review Volume 4 Number 2 (Winter 2015) Identity and Peoples in History Speculating on Ancient Mediterranean Mysteries Mordechai Nisan* We are familiar with a philo-Semitic disposition characterizing a number of communities, including Phoenicians/Lebanese, Kabyles/Berbers, and Ismailis/Druze, raising the question of a historical foundation binding them all together. The ethnic threads began in the Galilee and Mount Lebanon and later conceivably wound themselves back there in the persona of Al-Muwahiddun [Unitarian] Druze. While DNA testing is a fascinating methodology to verify the similarity or identity of a shared gene pool among ostensibly disparate peoples, we will primarily pursue our inquiry using conventional historical materials, without however—at the end—avoiding the clues offered by modern science. Our thesis seeks to substantiate an intuition, a reading of the contours of tales emanating from the eastern Mediterranean basin, the Levantine area, to Africa and Egypt, and returning to Israel and Lebanon. The story unfolds with ancient biblical tribes of Israel in the north of their country mixing with, or becoming Lebanese Phoenicians, travelling to North Africa—Tunisia, Algeria, and Libya in particular— assimilating among Kabyle Berbers, later fusing with Shi’a Ismailis in the Maghreb, who would then migrate to Egypt, and during the Fatimid period evolve as the Druze. The latter would later flee Egypt and return to Lebanon—the place where their (biological) ancestors had once dwelt. The original core group was composed of Hebrews/Jews, toward whom various communities evince affinity and identity today with the Jewish people and the state of Israel.

  • The Names and Boundaries of Eretz-Israel (Palestine) As Reflections of Stages in Its History
    THE NAMES AND BOUNDARIES OF ERETZ-ISRAEL (PALESTINE) AS REFLECTIONS OF STAGES IN ITS HISTORY GIDEON BIGER INTRODUCTION Classical historical geography focuses on research of the boundaries of the various states, along with the historical development of these boundaries over time. Edward Freeman, in his book written in 1881 and entitled The Historical Geography of Europe, defines the nature of historical-geographical research as follows: "The work which we have now before us is to trace out the extent of territory which the different states and nations have held at different times in the world's history, to mark the different boundaries which the same country has had and the different meanings in which the same name has been used." The author further claims that "it is of great importance carefully to make these distinctions, because great mistakes as to the facts of history are often caused through men thinking and speaking as if the names of different countries have always meant exactly the same extent of territory. "1 Although this approach - which regards research on boundaries as the essence of historical geography- is not accepted at present, the claim that it is necessary to define the extent of territory over history is as valid today as ever. It is impossible to discuss the development of any geographical area having political and territorial significance without knowing and understanding its physical extent. Of no less significance for such research are the names attached to any particular expanse. The naming of a place is the first step in defining it politically and historically.

This bureau is managed by men who give all of their time to the solution of tourist problems. We are wholesalers in travel service. Our big purchasing power buys the best of everything. Hotels, resorts and transportation companies leave nothing undone to supply our escorted tours with the degree of high-class service demanded by this organization. The two weeks Vacation Tours for 1917, herewith presented, have been produced by the best thought of trained, experienced minds. Moreover, these tours are to be sold at cost. Our department does not work for profit; it sells service, safety and scenery at a "priced- at-cost" rate. This season we offer "Two National Parks in two weeks," featuring the wonderful Yellowstone and the splendid new Rocky Mountain (Estes) National Park. Five days in the former and two and one-half days in the latter, with side excursions into Utah and out from Denver, make up, with the train travel, what I believe to be the best two weeks vacation trip in America. Another important point: We have chosen the fast and direct rail routes in order to avoid the tedium of any unnecessary train travel.

They may reflect inadequate previous training or merely a bad start. In such cases in- dividual help of the kind that seeks to find and remove causes as well as to teach subject matter is often most desirable. It is this kind of tutoring that we aim to give. To this end we have tutors who add personal interest to the requisite scholarship and teaching experience. Needed tutoring taken early in the term not only assists with current work but gives a better basis for future work.
