  • Israeli Historiograhy's Treatment of The
    Yechiam Weitz Dialectical versus Unequivocal Israeli Historiography’s Treatment of the Yishuv and Zionist Movement Attitudes toward the Holocaust In November 1994, I helped organize a conference called “Vision and Revision.” Its subject was to be “One Hundred Years of Zionist Histo- riography,”1 but in fact it focused on the stormy debate between Zionists and post-Zionists or Old and New Historians, a theme that pervaded Is- rael’s public and academic discourse at the time. The discussion revolved around a number of topics and issues, such as the birth of the Arab refugee question in the War of Independence and matters concerning the war itself. Another key element of the controversy involved the attitude of the Yishuv (the Jewish community in prestate Israel) and the Zionist move- ment toward the Holocaust. There were several parts to the question: what was the goal of the Yishuv and the Zionist leadership—to save the Jews who were perishing in smoldering Europe or to save Zionism? What was more important to Zionism—to add a new cowshed at Kib- butz ‘Ein Harod and purchase another dunam of land in the Negev or Galilee or the desperate attempt to douse the European inferno with a cup of water? What, in those bleak times, motivated the head of the or- ganized Yishuv, David Ben-Gurion: “Palestinocentrism,” and perhaps even loathing for diaspora Jewry, or the agonizing considerations of a leader in a period of crisis unprecedented in human history? These questions were not confined to World War II and the destruc- tion of European Jewry (1939–45) but extended back to the 1930s and forward to the postwar years.

    Cont Jewry (2017) 37:171–181 DOI 10.1007/s12397-017-9213-x A Reply to Ian Lustick’s Article Editor’s Note: This Comment is a Response to Ian Lustick’s Article in This Issue of Contemporary Jewry v37(1) 1 2 Dan Michman • Sergio DellaPergola • 3 1 Paul Burstein • Adam S. Ferziger Received: 4 March 2017 / Accepted: 15 March 2017 / Published online: 24 April 2017 Ó Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2017 According to Ian Lustick, Israel has built and, in turn, is dominated by an overemphasized Holocaust ethos that he calls ‘‘Holocaustia.’’ To be sure, his extensive essay describes three other distinct Holocaust narratives that emerged in the course of Israel’s history. But the central focus of the article is on this fourth one, its assumed domination of contemporary Israeli discourse, and its implications for the Israel-Arab conflict. As Lustick argues: Contemporary Israel is marked unmistakably with ‘‘Holocaustia,’’ by which I mean a universe of discourse based on the centrality in Jewish life of the Holocaust, its effects, and memories of it. The result, opines Lustick, is distortions and severe limits placed on the ability of Israeli society and Israeli leaders to exploit or even perceive opportunities for moving toward mutually advantageous arrangements with their neighbors. & Sergio DellaPergola [email protected] Dan Michman [email protected] Paul Burstein [email protected] Adam S.

  • Coming to Grips with the Shoah in Hebrew Fiction
    Coming to grips with the Shoah in Hebrew fiction Dvir Abramovich (The University of Melbourne) The first woman to become a full member of the Academy of the Hebrew Language and Winner of the Prime Minister’s Creativity Prize in 1971 for her novel Ir Yamim Rabim (City of Many Days), Shulamith Hareven was one of Israel’s pre-eminent authors. Over forty years, her finely tuned plots and perceptive, intimate portraits of lonely frayed individuals, as well as her commitment to civil rights, had earned her the respect of readers and critics alike. As a matter of fact, in a 1992 New York Times article Hareven was acclaimed as achieving, “a level of success and acceptance among the literary elite in Israel known by no other woman”.1 Likewise, she was hailed by the French publication L'Express as one of the hundred women “who moved the world”, and in 1988, on the occasion of Israel’s fortieth anniversary she was selected by the Council of Women’s Organisation as one of eleven women to be honoured for their extraordinary achievement.2 Shulamith Hareven was born in Warsaw, Poland on 14 February 1930. Her father Abraham Ryftin was a lawyer and her mother Natalia Wiener was a teacher. She published her first poems in a Polish children’s magazine when she was six. Her parents escaped Poland and travelled throughout Europe using fake documents until they arrived in Palestine in 1940, settling in Jerusalem. She studied at the Rehavia Secondary school, graduating in 1947. A member of the Haganah3, she served as a medic during the 1948 War of Independence and later was one of the founders of Galei Tzahal, the Israeli Defence Forces radio network.

  • Extensive Mixing Among Israelites and Non- Israelites in Biblical History
    JOURNAL OF CREATION 31(3) 2017 || PAPERS Extensive mixing among Israelites and non- Israelites in biblical history Robert W. Carter The genetic state of the Israelite nation is a fascinating subject with profound theological ramifications. They have possibly the most well documented ethnological history of any people group in antiquity. But when considering how separate the Israelites should have been from other people, multiple passages indicate extensive mixing between them and the surrounding nations. The question “What is a Jew?” is a complicated one that takes a significant amount of study to answer. In the end, it should be clear that ‘Jewishness’ is more of a religious and cultural concept than a genetic one. If we then generalize this model, we can derive multiple factors that should influence our concept of ‘race’ from a biblical perspective. o understand the genetic differences between the people Pre-Babel mixing and the origin of ‘races’ groups scattered across the earth, one must look at the T Historically, some have attempted to denigrate people human population between the Flood and Babel.

  • THE PHIIISTINE SCRIPT and INSCRIPTIONS (Excerpts from the Celtic Connection Revisited, Unpublished Material, 2014) by Michel-Gérald Boutet
    THE PHIIISTINE SCRIPT AND INSCRIPTIONS (Excerpts from The Celtic Connection Revisited, unpublished material, 2014) By Michel-Gérald Boutet The Sea Peoples invasion of Egypt during the XXth dynasty. Detail from the temple of Ramses III at Medinet Habou, Museum of Cairo. Pulasti (Philistine) and Tsakkaras: on Pylon of Medinet Habu. Illustration from The palace of Minos: a comparative account of the successive stages of the early Cretan civilization as illustrated by the discoveries at Knossos by Sir Arthur Evans, 1921. THE PHILISTINE SEA-PEOPLE Who were the Philistines? “Now the rulers of the Philistines assembled to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god and to celebrate, saying, “Our god has delivered Samson, our enemy, into our hands.” (The Death of Samson, Judges 16, 23.) Although an early Indo-European presence was felt in the Canaan region after the second millennium B.C.E, the Philistines along with the other Sea Peoples make an abrupt entry into the Egyptian records just at around 1200. The Philistines, purportedly from Bulgaria and Crimea, were of mixed Indo-European nations mainly of Proto-Celtic Danubian, Aegean and Anatolian descent. These Danubians, the Dananoi, or Danauoi in Greek, constituted of a number of undifferentiated Indo-European tribes originally from the Pontic Crimean area of the Black Sea that had settled on the western Anatolian coast and eventually on the island of Cyprus. During the Bronze Age, their metallurgical skills gave them the cutting edge and they were the ones responsible for prompting the Iron Age in the Mediterranean basin. Eventually, the Philistines were to form a powerful military and commercial nation reaching their peak at the end of the first millennium and then lose preeminence by the end of the 7th century BCE only to completely disappear from historical records in the 6th century at the start of the Assyrian wars.
