  • Migration of Eretz Yisrael Arabs Between December 1, 1947 and June 1, 1948
    [Intelligence Service (Arab Section)] June 30, 1948 Migration of Eretz Yisrael Arabs between December 1, 1947 and June 1, 1948 Contents 1. General introduction. 2. Basic figures on Arab migration 3. National phases of evacuation and migration 4. Causes of Arab migration 5. Arab migration trajectories and absorption issues Annexes 1. Regional reviews analyzing migration issues in each area [Missing from document] 2. Charts of villages evacuated by area, noting the causes for migration and migration trajectories for every village General introduction The purpose of this overview is to attempt to evaluate the intensity of the migration and its various development phases, elucidate the different factors that impacted population movement directly and assess the main migration trajectories. Of course, given the nature of statistical figures in Eretz Yisrael in general, which are, in themselves, deficient, it would be difficult to determine with certainty absolute numbers regarding the migration movement, but it appears that the figures provided herein, even if not certain, are close to the truth. Hence, a margin of error of ten to fifteen percent needs to be taken into account. The figures on the population in the area that lies outside the State of Israel are less accurate, and the margin of error is greater. This review summarizes the situation up until June 1st, 1948 (only in one case – the evacuation of Jenin, does it include a later occurrence). Basic figures on Arab population movement in Eretz Yisrael a. At the time of the UN declaration [resolution] regarding the division of Eretz Yisrael, the following figures applied within the borders of the Hebrew state: 1.

  • Lieut. Kitohener's Reports. Iv
    ](jj LIEUT. KITOHENER'S REPORTS. IV. P. E. F. CAMP, TAIYEBEH, 30th May, 1877. THIS month's work has finished the Survey up to the northern boundary, the River Leontes. The next camp will be at Banias, and when that is finished there will only be the strip along the seashore to do to finish the survey of the north. I hope this will be accomplished before the end of July. On the 2nd of May camp was moved from Meiron to Dibl, a Christian village eleven miles north of Meiron. The inhabitants were extremely glad to see us, as our presence afforded them some protection. They were debating whether they should desert their village for some safer place, but finally decided to remain and see how matters would turn out. There are several large Christian villages in this part of the country, and they are naturally in a great state of alarm and panic. They fear, in case of a Turkish defeat, that the neighbouring Mohammedan villages will revenge it on them. They are anxious to buy arms and defend their lives and property in case of attack, but up to the present time the Mohammedans have given very little cause for alarm. The Government has always promptly suppressed any fanatical feeling, and is evidently doing its best to tide over a critical time. The Christian villages are very superior in cleanliness to their Moslem neighbours, and .a great deal more care is taken in the cultivation of the ground. They are generally surrounded by viMyards and fig-trees, and a few mul­ berry-trees are cultivated.

  • Lebanon Border Enigma
    72 Articles Section THE ISRAEL – LEBANON BORDER ENIGMA David Eshel INTRODUCTION On 24 May 2000 the last Israeli troops deployed in south Lebanon pulled back into Israel, closing and padlocking the border gate behind them. Less than a month later the UN Security Council endorsed UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan’s assertion that Israel had “withdrawn its forces from Lebanon in accordance with Resolution 425” – bringing to an end Israel’s 22 year presence in south Lebanon. These events have focused worldwide attention on a hitherto relatively insignificant issue – the definition of the Lebanese-Israeli boundary. The legacy of political and strategic problems associated with this border, the result of short-sighted decisions and compromises prompted by colonial concerns some eighty years ago, means that to date this border is neither properly defined along its full length nor fully accepted by To date this border the nations either side of it. is neither properly defined along its full The Israeli withdrawal in May was to a line defined by the UN and designated as the length nor fully “Blue Border Line”, which is more or less consistent with the Anglo-French 1923 accepted by the accord. However, disagreements between Lebanon, Israel and the UN as to the exact nations either side line of the border and the consequent refusal of Lebanon to deploy troops to southern of it Lebanon and allow the UN to deploy to the border created a dangerous void along the border. Hezbullah, which had been instrumental in speeding up the Israeli withdrawal were still in place in the area and the existence of several controversial issues along the border meant that the border region could be a major flash point in the volatile Middle East.

  • Al-Quds Book
    JERUSALEMJERUSALEM The issue of Jerusalem have constituted, both in the far and near past, a basic pivot in determining the future and realities of the surrounding region. The POPULATION & URBANIZATION special importance of conducting a study on the Jerusalem issue rises from the current attempts to define the future of the region in the context of the ongoing political process and the accompanying conflicts, which are in some cases bloody and in other cases peaceful. Because of the importance of Jerusalem for both the Arab Palestinian side and the Zionist Jewish side, the From 1850 - 2000 determination of the future of the region, whether in terms of war or peace, depends on the method in which the issue is dealt with. The Zionist Movement has attempted from the start of its emigration to Palestine to impose new realities in order to decide the issue of Jerusalem for its benefit. The attempts were not restricted to physical realities, but included the creation of an impression and conviction through media and lots of books and publications that worked on forging the past and present history of the city, thus concealing the reality and truth behind a curtain of false propaganda and history forging. Thus, this contribution from the Jerusalem Media and Communications Center came to highlight the events that took place during the historical epoch between 1850 and 2000. We do hope that we can succeed in raising discussion over this issue and highlight the facts and truth and encourage others inside Palestine and abroad to contribute in this discussion and enrich this attempt towards reinforcing a conviction that any solution that does not guarantee the historical, political, national and religious rights of the Arab Palestinian people in Jerusalem will never be a just, comprehensive and permanent solution.

Geha This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of PhD at the University of St Andrews July 2014 Abstract This thesis is an inquiry into the challenges to the role of civic organisations in political reform during and after political transitions. The major question this research addresses is: How do institutions and institutional dynamics constrain political reform during a transition? The thesis examines how demands for reform by non-governmental organisations in Lebanon and Libya were not translated into concrete political decisions taken by regimes during a transition period. The thesis suggests that the combination of weak states and power-sharing agreements marginalizes civic organisations, and poses institutional constraints on the likelihood of reform. The thesis is based on contemporary research on events and reform trajectories in Lebanon and Libya, with a focus on the demands and strategies employed by activists during periods of transition. Lebanon between 2005 and 2010 and Libya between 2011 and 2013 underwent critical political events but subsequently did not adopt political reforms despite demands by civic organisations in two main areas: the electoral system in Lebanon and the constitutional process in Libya.

All sources and references have been acknowledged. Titus Michael Kennedy UNISA Student # 48120324 September 26, 2013 __________________ ___________________ SIGNATURE DATE iii ABSTRACT A Demographic Analysis of Late Bronze Age Canaan: Ancient Population Estimates and Insights through Archaeology by Titus Michael Kennedy This thesis is a demographic analysis of Late Bronze Age Canaan (ca. 1550/1500-1200/1150 BCE), undertaken through the use of archaeological and anthropological data. The purpose is to establish estimates for the settlement population, nomadic population, nuclear family size, house size, sex ratio, and life expectancy of the people of Canaan during the Late Bronze Age. Previous studies have not addressed these issues in detail, nor had data from the entire scope of Canaan been considered, nor had a precise methodology been developed or used for estimating specific settlement populations and nomadic populations for Canaan during the Late Bronze Age. Thus, additional aspects of the thesis include the development and use of a new methodology for estimating ancient populations and a database of all of the Late Bronze Age sites in Canaan—both archaeological and textual.

    MAN NEAR A ROMAN ARCH Once I was sitting on the steps near the gate at David's Citadel and I put down my two heavy baskets beside me. A group of tourists stood there around their guide, and I became their point of reference. "You see that man over there with the baskets? A little to the right of his head there's an arch from the Roman period. A little to the right of his head." "But he's moving, he's moving!" I said to myself: Redemption will come only when they are told, "Do you see that arch over there from the Roman period? It doesn't matter, but near it, a little to the left and then down a bit, there's a man who has just bought fruit and vegetables for his family."

On January 1st, 1869, the garden, north-west of Birket Israil, on the other side of the road, was examined; and an entrance to a cistern found at Gift, north of the Via Dolorosa, and 33ft. west of the road leading north from Bab Hytta (see Ordnance Survey Plan, TJ^, the contour line 2,419 passes through the garden). The height of this entrance is 2,421ft., for about the first 20ft. down there is a shaft 2ft. wide; below this it opens out to west to about 8ft., and at 36ft. is the rock, forming in part the roof of a small chamber or cistern: this chamber is cut in the rock, and is filled up within six feet of the top with mud : close to the shaft already described, is a parallel shaft, giving the impres- sion that water was obtained from this chamber by means of a n'aura (water wheel). It remains to be seen in what manner sufficient water could have been got into this ohamber to cause a water wheel to be necessary for lifting it; if praotioable, a shaft will be sunk through the mud at the bottom of this chamber.* January Is/, 1869.
