  • The Tunnels in Gaza February 2015 the Tunnels in Gaza Testimony Before the UN Commission of Inquiry on the 2014 Gaza Conflict Dr
    Dr. Eado Hecht 1 The Tunnels in Gaza February 2015 The Tunnels in Gaza Testimony before the UN Commission of Inquiry on the 2014 Gaza Conflict Dr. Eado Hecht The list of questions is a bit repetitive so I have decided to answer not directly to each question but in a comprehensive topical manner. After that I will answer specifically a few of the questions that deserve special emphasis. At the end of the text is an appendix of photographs, diagrams and maps. Sources of Information 1. Access to information on the tunnels is limited. 2. I am an independent academic researcher and I do not have access to information that is not in the public domain. All the information is based on what I have gleaned from unclassified sources that have appeared in the public media over the years – listing them is impossible. 3. The accurate details of the exact location and layout of all the tunnels are known only by the Hamas and partially by Israeli intelligence services and the Israeli commanders who fought in Gaza last summer. 4. Hamas, in order not to reveal its secrets to the Israelis, has not released almost any information on the tunnels themselves except in the form of psychological warfare intended to terrorize Israeli civilians or eulogize its "victory" for the Palestinians: the messages being – the Israelis did not get all the tunnels and we are digging more and see how sophisticated our tunnel- digging operation is. These are carefully sanitized so as not to reveal information on locations or numbers.

  • How Time Flies When You're Israeli on the One Hand the Region Has Experienced a Sort of Baby Boom
    How Time Flies When You're Israeli On the one hand the region has experienced a sort of Baby Boom. On the other hand the number of divorces has increased at an irregular rate, especially in communities near the border. One year since Operation Protective Edge and in the Gaza Envelope settlements they're trying to recover—not a simple matter when there's unanimous agreement that the next round is just around the corner. onday. It's quiet, pretty and clean in the Gaza Envelope. The air is warm and M crisp. The fields bask in the sun, indifferent to what's happening around them. And that's totally fine, because nothing is happening. It's almost one year since Operation Protective Edge. How time flies when you're Israeli. Moti Madmoni of the Schmerling Meat Bar, located at Alonit Junction at the entrance to Gaza, begins to organize his day. During the war, soldiers, journalists and foreigners swarmed here as the skewers of meat flowed out continually. "We did pretty well during the war," he says with a smile. He then describes how hard it was to stand over the grill while his son, a Golani soldier, was fighting on the inside. "But I prefer the quiet, although I don't believe in it. Another round is just a matter of time. This isn't genuine peace—the next battle will come and we'll accept whatever comes with love. We're not leaving. We're here and that's it." I talk with everyone I see, the vast majority of whom don't want to be photographed or quoted by name.

The Hashomer Hatzair Antwerp (1920-1948) Janiv Stamberger Promotor: Prof. Dr. R. Van Doorslaer Acknowledgements There are lots of people without whose help and support this thesis could not possibly have been written and while each of them should be accorded a bit of space or a kind line I have had to restrict myself to a select group of people. I express my sincere apologies to the people I forgot to mention, but I rest assured that they know that no spite or harm was intended and that they know that their help and assistance was and is warmly appreciated. First and foremost I would like to thank my promoter Prof. Doc. Rudi Van Doorslaer who first introduced me to this wonderful subject and whose patient guidance and advice helped shape the contents and outline of this thesis. I also would like to thank Pascale Falek and Gertjan Desmet for their help in introducing me to the various archives in Belgium where information regarding the movement is kept. In Israel I would like to thank the staff of Yad Ya’ari in Givat Haviva for their kind help and the wonderful soup that was each time offered to me kindly. I would also like to thank Daniela of the Moreshet archive, also in Givat Haviva, for her help. In Jerusalem I would like to thank the staff of the Central Zionist Archives and the staff of the Hebrew University Oral History department.
