  • Livney Volunteer from the USA on the “Exodus 1947”
    1 Avi (Lifshitz) Livney Volunteer from the USA on the “Exodus 1947” This is the Way it Was Born April 26 1927 in New York City, USA. Served in the Hospital Corps, US Navy, 1945-46. Served in the Mosad for Aliya Bet from January 1947 to 1948. Joined the President Warfield (“Exodus 1947”) in Baltimore in January as ship’s purser/ pharmacist. Two weeks later, in a ceremony on the ship’s deck, the entire crew was sworn in to the Hagana by Yaakov Dori (Dostrovsky). Six months later we were in a night-time naval engagement against six British destroyers and a light cruiser. I was stunned by the sight of British marines actually gassing and clubbing unarmed men, women and children, the remnant of our people, whose only crime was that they were trying to go home. I could only think that the people doing the gassing and clubbing (and killing) were the same people that I had so greatly admired during England’s dark days of the early 1940’s. What had happened to the fair play learned on the playing fields of Eton? After our return to Port de Bouc from Palestine, I was instructed to get off the “Ocean Vigour” (one of the three British prison ships), and joined the “Pan York” (Kibbutz Galuyot) in Marseilles. Sailed to Safi, Morocco and up to Brest, where we were told of the sabotage bombing of the “Pan Crescent” (Atzmaut) in Venice. Three of us were sent there by way of Paris, Marseilles and crossed into Italy by rowboat in the middle of the night, from Monte Carlo to Ventimiglia, and traveled on to Milan.

I think that there were few generations that had to assume burdens as weighty as those which we had to take upon ourselves. We were the second generation of those who founded small rural settlements, who were field workers and pioneers – but men with ideals and values; they knew travail and bloodshed; from World War II and the Holocaust to the fight for the right of the Jewish people to a Homeland of their own – a fight with the Arab rioters and with an antagonistic British Mandate, which prevented Jews from entering their Homeland.

  • The Palestinians in Israel
    Working Paper V The Role of Social Sorting and Categorization Under Exceptionalism in Controlling a National Minority: The Palestinians in Israel by Ahmad H. Sa’di∗ November 2011 ∗ Department of Politics & Government, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Introduction This report explores how surveillance and categorization were used by the state of Israel to control the Palestinian minority during the first two decades after Israel’s establishment in 1948. The methods of surveillance, which involve collection of data about the population, its storage, classification, and the categorization of citizens according to various organizing principles, have been essential tools for modern states in managing their populations. The collected data and its presentation through various statistical measures, which enhances the power of the state, may be used positively – to address the needs of the population efficiently, to target groups which are in need of special attention, to empower citizens – or negatively to subjugate or marginalize certain groups. Michel Foucault has famously argued that power is constitutive of the self, though he also maintained that power could have a positive or negative role. In the latter form it is used for domination. While the naïve perception of social groups as “natural” or as positioned around an interiority that sets them apart from others is disappearing, the recent research on surveillance, following Foucault, has focused on the role that power plays in the constitution of social categories and identities. Thus, social sorting, categorization and the construction of polarities are examined. This approach is employed in the first section of this report. In it, I shall probe the construction of the Palestinians as non-Jewish population and as a collection of ethnicities by exploring the historical origin of these categories and tracing their evolvement.

  • 'We Salute You, John Henry Patterson'
    ‘WE SALUTE YOU, JOHN HENRY PATTERSON’ INSIDE THE EMBASSY By: Lucy Jennings Posted on: Fri, 23 Jan 2015 (All day) +0100 On the 4th of December 2014, the State of Israel held special ceremonies to mark the reburial of British officer Lt. Col. John Henry Patterson in the Land of Israel, thus honouring a key Christian Zionist figure who is considered the ‘godfather’ of today’s Israeli army. The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem was represented at the official ceremonies by media director David Parsons, who presented Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a special replica medallion of the insignia worn by members of the Zion Mule Corps during World War One. Commanded by Patterson, this was the first organised Jewish military force since the Bar Kokhba revolt in 132 AD. Patterson’s cremains were re-interred alongside his wife’s, Francis, in moshav Avihayil, in a cemetery where many of the Jewish soldiers who served under his command are buried. It had been a long two- year process to bring Patterson’s ashes from California, where he had died in 1947 – just one year prior to the founding of the State of Israel. After a most adventurous life and military career, Patterson’s dying wish had been to be buried near his Jewish troops in the soil of Israel. That wish had finally been granted, thanks to the efforts of his grandson, Alan Patterson, and to Jerry Klinger, President of Jewish American Society for Historic Preservation. The ceremonies also had great meaning for Prime Minister Netanyahu, due to his father’s very personal connection to Patterson.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles History in the Public Courtroom: Commissions of Inquiry and Struggles over the History and Memory of Israeli Traumas A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In History by Nadav Gadi Molchadsky 2015 © Copyright by Nadav Gadi Molchadsky 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION History in the Public Courtroom: Commissions of Inquiry and Struggles over the History and Memory of Israeli Traumas by Nadav Gadi Molchadsky Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor David N. Myers, Co-Chair Professor Arieh B. Saposnik, Co-Chair This study seeks to shed new light on the complex web of relations among history, historiography and contemporary life. It does so by focusing on Israeli commissions of inquiry that have taken rise in the wake of major national traumas such as failed battles in the 1948 War, the Yom Kippur War, and the assassination of the Zionist leader Chaim Arlosoroff. Each one of these landmark events in the history of Israel was investigated by a state or a military commission of inquiry, whose members and audience operate as authors of history and agents of memory. The study suggests that commissions of inquiry, which have been studied to date primarily as legal, administrative, and political bodies, in fact also operate as a public historian of a unique kind. In this capacity, and unlike a professional historian, commissions are by definition expected not to refrain from making ethical and legal judgments. On the contrary, judgment is, in the final analysis, ii the underpinning motivation for their historical inquiry.

  • The Creation of the Relations Between Israel and Brazil from a Pioneering Perspective: Between Diplomacy and Kibbutz MEIR CHAZAN
    CHAPTER 12 The Creation of the Relations between Israel and Brazil from a Pioneering Perspective: Between Diplomacy and Kibbutz MEIR CHAZAN INTRODUCTION n May 1953, the Israeli foreign minister, Moshe Sharett, visited Brazil. IIn his report to the government following his return from his South American tour, Sharett related that in his speech at the official, festive dinner held in his honor in Rio de Janeiro, he applauded several things that were being done in a similar manner in Brazil and in Israel. A settlement project was being carried out in Brazil, and in Israel: “There, they are pioneers, and so are we; they are a country surrounded by sister nations, but not of the same people, and we are, too.” Brazil was a country that consisted of people who came from diverse cultures, and so was Israel. On the following day, the speech was praised in one of the Brazilian newspapers, although the writer noted that the comparison was original but questionable, since the foreign minister did not mention the difference between “us,” the Brazilians, and them: “they,” in Israel, “turn the desert into a blooming garden, while we turn a blooming garden into desert.”1 1 Protocol of the Government of Israel, May 17, 1953, Israel State Archives, Jerusalem (here- after ISA). Sharett spoke before representatives of the Brazilian Journalists Association in the presence of senior members of the Brazilian foreign ministry, including Osvaldo Aranha, the Brazilian ambassador to the United Nations who chaired the famous session of the United Nations General Assembly on November 29, 1947. For Sharett’s speech and for the program of his visit to Brazil, see ISA, FO 6/236.

With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it nothing can succeed. Consequently, he who moulds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions. He makes statutes and decisions possible or impossible to be executed. Abraham Lincoln ‘By persuading others, we convince ourselves’ Junius ii Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it).

Between 1966 and 1975, the Eshkol, Meir and Rabin governments invested far more time and energy in the management of Israel’s international image than the governments before or after.

  • Political Participation and the Transformation of Military
    POLITICAL PARTICIPATION AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF MILITARY- MINDSET Murat Ulgul Paper Presented at the ISAC/ISSS Conference in Austin, Texas on November 16, 2014 More than in any job, the belief system a soldier holds is significantly shaped by the professional environment in which he finds himself from the first day he enters a military academy. A military career differs from other professions in terms of socialization, as military academies and military barracks physically separate soldiers from civilians for an extended period while the military in general enlists those who view national security as a main concern. Even though military cadets may be ideologically diverse at the beginning of their education, a distinct type of military man is created over time through training, operations, and even wars, and this man holds a belief system which separates him from the rest of society. This belief system, which is called military-mindset or military ethic, consists of certain characteristics. Since the professional responsibility of a soldier is the security of the state and its citizens, the military man is inclined to have pessimistic views of the enemy’s intentions as he sees violence as a key trait of human nature. As a result, the military man prefers to adopt military measures to solve problems. Finally, in some militaries the military man is educated to follow a certain political ideology which may enhance his pessimism and preference for military measures. This article attempts to figure out how engaging with another profession, with politics in this case, helps to transform this military mindset in certain cases.
