The ancient mound of Jaffa, situated on the southern Levantine coast south of the outlet of the Yarkon River, was the closest maritime outlet for Jerusalem and other highland centers in ancient times.

    Israeli Housing and Nation Building: Establishment of the State-Citizen Contract, 1948–1953

    T D S R VOLUME XXIII NUMBER II 2 0 1 2 5 1 Israeli Housing and Nation Building: Establishment of the State-Citizen Contract, 1948–1953 YAEL ALLWEIL This article examines the formation and consolidation of a housing-based social contract between state and citizens during the first years of Israeli national sovereignty. Calls for a renewal of this contract, including demands for equal access to housing, underlay the mass social unrest in the country during the summer of 2011. Initially, the creation of Is- rael in 1948 brought a housing “big bang” to Israel-Palestine. Mass Jewish migration both demanded vast housing solutions and brought a mass loss of housing among the Palestin- ian population. The year 1948 also marked a watershed in the use of housing as a nation- building strategy within the Zionist movement, transforming it from an effort based on accumulating self-governing subjects to one obliged to house newly empowered citizens within a citizen-legitimized political framework. The article shows how these conditions ultimately led to the articulation of a state-citizen contract that included a “housing regime” aimed at transforming immigrants into proper citizens. Despite the centrality of the inter- ests of the state in these activities, however, the article also explores how housing programs were planned and produced in direct response to continuing demands by citizens. The Yael Allweil is the 2012–2013 Post-Doctoral consolidation of “regime” and “subjects” as the opposing ends of modern governance, as Fellow at the Harry S. Truman Institute, Hebrew University of Jerusalem; she suggested by Foucault, was thus deeply contested.

Jaffa has the distinct status of being one of the few ports on the southern Levantine coast featuring an almost continual occupation history from the Middle Bronze Age through the modern era. Yet a lack of inclusion for Jaffa and other hinterland sites in archaeological and historical studies of the coastal plain is evident. In light of renewed excavations on the ancient mound of Jaffa, new analyses of the site’s and region’s material culture recovered from excavations conducted over the last sixty years necessitate the current examination of regional settlement patterns and systems to elucidate the potential economic and cultural connections ii between the port and inland sites, both urban and rural in nature by providing a regional perspective for material culture recovered at Jaffa.

  • The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem Revisited [2Nd Edition]

    The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem Revisited [2Nd Edition]

    THE BIRTH OF THE PALESTINIAN REFUGEE PROBLEM REVISITED Benny Morris’ The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem, 1947–1949, was first published in 1988. Its startling reve- lations about how and why 700,000 Palestinians left their homes and became refugees during the Arab–Israeli war in 1948 undermined the conflicting Zionist and Arab interpreta- tions; the former suggesting that the Palestinians had left voluntarily, and the latter that this was a planned expulsion. The book subsequently became a classic in the field of Middle East history. The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem Revisited represents a thoroughly revised edition of the earlier work, compiled on the basis of newly opened Israeli military archives and intelligence documentation. While the focus of the book remains the 1948 war and the analysis of the Palestinian exodus, the new material con- tains more information about what actually happened in Jerusalem, Jaffa and Haifa, and how events there eventually led to the collapse of Palestinian urban society. It also sheds light on the battles, expulsions and atrocities that resulted in the disintegration of the rural communities. The story is a harrowing one. The refugees now number some four million and their existence remains one of the major obstacles to peace in the Middle East. Benny Morris is Professor of History in the Middle East Studies Department, Ben-Gurion University.He is an outspo- ken commentator on the Arab–Israeli conflict, and is one of Israel’s premier revisionist historians. His publications include Righteous Victims: A History of the Zionist–Arab Conflict, 1881–2001 (2001), and Israel’s Border Wars, 1949–56 (1997).

Lach- ish, was a fortress protecting the approaches to Jerusalem, it was the TRIPPLEROCK, the Fore-Sight, that ruled the very location of the Hebrew settlement in the Holy Land. The siege and capture of Lachish is unique in history of the Holy Land, mentioned in the Old Testament and in the Annals of the Assyrian king, Sennacherib. The event is depicted on the walls of Sennacherib’s palace at Nineveh where Lachish is prominently associated with the number 3 in many ways. 2. The Primeval Hill, Bergthorshvoll / Bayt Jibrin The early inhabitants of Bayt Jibrin are believed to have been the Canaanites. The Romans conquered the town after the First Jewish-Roman War then it became a Roman colony and a major administrative center under the name of Eleutheropolis (“city of the free”). After that it was conquered by Muslims, the Crusaders, the Mamluks and the Ottoman Turks. In 200, when Septimius Severus, changed its name to Eleutheropolis, he refounded the city, marking its founding day January 1, 200 as is depicted on its coins and inscriptions.
