Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT It is the purpose of this study to establish how the Army in Israel contributes to the National Integration of Jews who originated in the Middle East and in North Africa and who arrived in Israel en masse after the foundation of the State, To assess this contribution, three steps are followed: 1) The establishment of a methodology as an analytical tool to determine what is meant in Israel by National Integration and the nature of the political formula. 2) The description of three main branches of the Army apparatus, together with their activities. 3) The activities of the Army are evaluated in terms of the political formula in order to determine the direction and success of its contribution to the process of National Integration. The findings of this study show that no soldier is allowed to leave the Army without proficiency and literacy in the Hebrew language, elementary education and some form of vocational training. The IDF ensures that the discharged soldier can earn his living and become a useful member of the society. Recruits are made aware not only of their rights in a democratic society, but also of their obligations towards that society. A strong identification with the land toge­ ther with knowledge of the land and its history are imparted to all soldiers, both academically and empiri­ cally. On the other hand, the IDF's contribution in the areas of education and economic specialization have not been sufficient to integrate Orientals with Ashkenazim. The progress of National Integration has been hindered by the exclusion from the Army of "unedu­ cated" women, the majority of whom are Oriental; by the Army's lack of contribution to ecological dispersion, and by its lack of receptivity to the Oriental's culture and beliefs.

NATIONAL INTEGRATION IN ISRAEL 352 APPENDIX 371 BIBLIOGRAPHY * 333 5 INTRODUCTION Israel occupies an equivocal position in the comparative study of new nations. It has been diffi­ cult for the specialist in this field to place it either among the new developing countries of Asia and Africa or among the well-established modern nations of the West. In some respects, Israel belongs in the former category, and in others it is typical of the latter. At the time of independence, new developing countries have generally found themselves populated by a socially and culturally traditional and economically backward native majority. As a result, their govern­ ments have been compelled to import the Western elements thought necessary for nation-building. This has not been the case in Israel. When Israel was granted independence, it had much in common with Western deve­ loped countries. It is estimated that in 19^8, 89.6$ of the Jewish population in Israel was of European or 1 Western descent and characterised by a high level of education, Western values and norms, modern hygiene and technological know-how and modern institutions. These standards were threatened primarily as a result of the mass influx of immigrants from new developing countries, from the Middle East, North Africa and parts of Asia. Therefore, instead of having to import Western elements in order to transform a traditional society, the new state received a large number of immigrants whose cultural experience and social standards were traditional and whose economic skills and educational level were much lower than those of the Jewish popula­ tion already present. This disturbed the homogeneity which had characterised the Yishuv (Western) Jewish population and the state before this large wave of immigrants. To combat the growing problems presented by these new immigrants, all agencies of state, inclu­ ding the Army, were mobilised to integrate them in the new state. This situation brought the IDF to occupy the same peculiar place among armies as Israel among nations. On the one hand, having developed from the Haganah (Jewish Defence Organization), the creation of the 8 Western Yishuv. the IDF emerged as an efficient and organised Army along the lines of the British and American Armies. Like the armies of these countries, the IDF has consistently remained an instrument of the state under civilian control. It has neither been an aspirant nor a contestant for political power. On the other hand, the need to integrate the new immigrants from developing countries obliged the IDF to undertake non-military tasks peculiar to the armies of new nations, such as the teaching of the three R's and socialization in the ideology of the state* It is evident, particularly in a society which suffers from a shortage of manpower, that a well-trained, reasonably well-educated and integrated population is necessary both for the successful performance of the army and for the viability of the nation-state. As an Army, the IDF is primarily concerned with defending the country and waging war. To be successful in this, the IDF, like other armies, seeks to have a viable organisation in which soldiers are well integrated regardless of their origin or background. But if the experience, training and education given during army service also serves a national goal, such as integration, then the military would also have contributed, however indirectly, to the integration of the society at large. It is our purpose to determine whether the IDF does in fact contribute to integration, and if so, to what extent. In its specific aspects, this study will consist of three parts. First, it will require that we identify the composition of Israeli society. A comparative analysis of the social and cultural back­ ground of Oriental Jews on one hand and of Yishuv or Ashkenazi Jews on the other will show the differences and similarities between these two types of Jews as well as the kind of task facing the Army for this inte- 2 gration. In the case of Oriental Jews, the analysis includes both parents and their offspring.-^ The characteristics of Oriental immigrant society and Ashkenazi society are derived from (a) general social studies of both groups and their respective social and cultural origins, (b) published field research, (c) internal publications of the Hebrew University and the Educational Division of the Army. Having established the framework of the society within which the Army operates, we will then examine integration in general theory and its relevance as a 10 policy goal in Israel. Integration in Israel will be defined in terms of a set of indices based on the cul­ tural, social, political and economic values of the Ashkenazi, the "predominant social type" which is in power and concerned to integrate the immigrants. The second part of our study will contain a des­ cription of the IDF's resources and "aspects of activi­ ties."^ The former consists of personnel and the overall educational organisation, whereas the latter refers to the different schools and specific programs which the IDF utilises for the purpose of integration. The third part will contain a correlation of the IDF's activities and the indices of the "dominant social type." This will enable us to determine the attributes which the IDF intends to inculcate in the Oriental and to evaluate the extent to which it has succeeded in contributing to integration. Before proceeding further, it is necessary to clarify the meaning of the term "Oriental." Wanting a more specific and abbreviated term, the word "Oriental" is used throughout to refer to Jews from the countries of the Middle East, North Africa and parts of Asia who 11 migrated to Israel between 19^9 and 195^* To date, the incomplete and general research? which has been done in this area shows that Oriental Jewish communi­ ties in their respective countries of origin differed from one another in their social and cultural back­ grounds. Two types of forces were primarily responsi­ ble for these variations: 1) The centrifugal forces resulting from the penetration and influence of different colonial powers in these countries. 2) The centripetal forces exemplified by the social and cultural traits of each country which shaped the difference between the Jewish community in one coun­ try and that in another.

  • The Role of Ultra-Orthodox Political Parties in Israeli Democracy
    Luke Howson University of Liverpool The Role of Ultra-Orthodox Political Parties in Israeli Democracy Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy By Luke Howson July 2014 Committee: Clive Jones, BA (Hons) MA, PhD Prof Jon Tonge, PhD 1 Luke Howson University of Liverpool © 2014 Luke Howson All Rights Reserved 2 Luke Howson University of Liverpool Abstract This thesis focuses on the role of ultra-orthodox party Shas within the Israeli state as a means to explore wider themes and divisions in Israeli society. Without underestimating the significance of security and conflict within the structure of the Israeli state, in this thesis the Arab–Jewish relationship is viewed as just one important cleavage within the Israeli state. Instead of focusing on this single cleavage, this thesis explores the complex structure of cleavages at the heart of the Israeli political system. It introduces the concept of a ‘cleavage pyramid’, whereby divisions are of different saliency to different groups. At the top of the pyramid is division between Arabs and Jews, but one rung down from this are the intra-Jewish divisions, be they religious, ethnic or political in nature. In the case of Shas, the religious and ethnic elements are the most salient. The secular–religious divide is a key fault line in Israel and one in which ultra-orthodox parties like Shas are at the forefront. They and their politically secular counterparts form a key division in Israel, and an exploration of Shas is an insightful means of exploring this division further, its history and causes, and how these groups interact politically.

When one reads widely on this subject, several questions come to mind. Why, for example, did Israel, a small, newly inde­ pendent nation, offer assistance to tbs new nations and territories of Africa? On the other hand, why did such African nations accept this aid so readily? What were the reactions of the Arab nations? Of the West? Of the Sino-Soviet Bloc? Of underdeveloped nations in general?

Although the members of the subcommittee do not want to make definitive judgments on the applicability of education in Israel to American needs, they are most favorably impressed by the great emphasis which the Israelis place on early childhood programs, vocational/technical education, and residential youth villages. The people of Israel are considered profoundly dedicated to the support of education at every level. The country works toward expansion of opportunities for education, based upon a belief that the educational system is the key to the resolution of major social problems. In the second part of the report, the detailed itinerary of the subcommittee is described with annotated comments about the places and persons visited. In the last part, appendixes describing in great depth characteristics of the Israeli education system (higher education in Israel, education and culture, and the kibbutz) are reprinted.

  • Ilan Pappé Zionism As Colonialism
    Ilan Pappé Zionism as Colonialism: A Comparative View of Diluted Colonialism in Asia and Africa Introduction: The Reputation of Colonialism Ever since historiography was professionalized as a scientific discipline, historians have consid- ered the motives for mass human geographical relocations. In the twentieth century, this quest focused on the colonialist settler projects that moved hundreds of thousands of people from Europe into America, Asia, and Africa in the pre- ceding centuries. The various explanations for this human transit have changed considerably in recent times, and this transformation is the departure point for this essay. The early explanations for human relocations were empiricist and positivist; they assumed that every human action has a concrete explanation best found in the evidence left by those who per- formed the action. The practitioners of social his- tory were particularly interested in the question, and when their field of inquiry was impacted by trends in philosophy and linguistics, their conclusion differed from that of the previous generation. The research on Zionism should be seen in light of these historiographical developments. Until recently, in the Israeli historiography, the South Atlantic Quarterly 107:4, Fall 2008 doi 10.1215/00382876-2008-009 © 2008 Duke University Press Downloaded from http://read.dukeupress.edu/south-atlantic-quarterly/article-pdf/107/4/611/470173/SAQ107-04-01PappeFpp.pdf by guest on 28 September 2021 612 Ilan Pappé dominant explanation for the movement of Jews from Europe to Palestine in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries was—and, in many ways, still is—positivist and empiricist.1 Researchers analyzed the motives of the first group of settlers who arrived on Palestine’s shores in 1882 according to the testimonies in their diaries and other documents.

  • Lee Morgan Chronology 1956–1972 by Jeffery S
    Delightfulee Jeffrey S. McMillan University of Michigan Press Lee Morgan Chronology 1956–1972 By Jeffery S. McMillan This is an annotated listing of all known Lee Morgan performances and all recordings (studio, live performances, broadcasts, telecasts, and interviews). The titles of studio recordings are given in bold and preceded by the name of the session leader. Recordings that appear to be lost are prefaced with a single asterisk in parentheses: (*). Recordings that have been commercially issued have two asterisks: **. Recordings that exist on tape but have never been commercially released have two asterisks in parentheses: (**). Any video footage known to survive is prefaced with three asterisks: ***. Video footage that was recorded but appears to now be lost is prefaced with three asterisks in parentheses: (***). On numerous occasions at Slugs’ Saloon in Manhattan, recording devices were set up on the stage and recorded Morgan’s performances without objection from the trumpeter. So far, none of these recordings have come to light. The information herein is a collation of data from newspapers, periodicals, published and personal interviews, discographies, programs, pamphlets, and other chronologies of other artists. Morgan’s performances were rarely advertised in most mainstream papers, so I drew valuable information primarily from African-American newspapers and jazz periodicals, which regularly carried ads for nightclubs and concerts. Entertainment and nightlife columnists in the black press, such as “Woody” McBride, Masco Young, Roland Marsh, Jesse Walker, Art Peters, and Del Shields, provided critical information, often verifying the personnel of an engagement or whether an advertised appearance occurred or was cancelled. Newspapers that I used include the Baltimore Afro-American (BAA), Cleveland Call & Post (C&P), Chicago Defender (CD), New Jersey Afro-American (NJAA), New York Amsterdam News (NYAN), Philadelphia Tribune (PT), and Pittsburgh Courier (PC).
