C. T. EVANS 17th January, 1933 Clerk to the Advisory Council. (Ï./165/33) DRAFT AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE SUCCESSION ORDINANCE, 1923. BE IT ENACTED by the High Commissioner for Palestine, with the advice of the Advisory Council thereof:— 1 This Ordinance may be cited as the Succession (Amendment) Short title. 1923־ Ordinance, 1934, and the Succession Ordinance, 1923 (herein• No. 4 of after called the principal Ordinance), the Succession (Amendment) Ordinance, 1932, and this Ordinance, may together be cited as No. 6 of 1932. the Succession Ordinances, 1923-1934. 2. Section 26 of the principal Ordinance shall be amended:— Amendment of section 26 of the (a) by the addition of the words "except an interest regis• principal tered by way of security for money" to the definition of Ordinance. "Miri Land" appearing in paragraph iii thereof; and (b) by the addition of the words "or an interest in miri land registered by way of security for money" to the definition of "Mulk Land" appearing in paragraph iv thereof. OBJECTS AND REASONS. By section 19 of the Succession Ordinance, 1923 (Gazette 1st April, 1923), succession to miri land is in accordance with the provisions of the Ottoman Law set forth in the second schedule to the Ordinance, and section 26 (iii) of the Ordinance defines miri land as including any registered interest in such land. 2. As a mortgage is inter alia a registered interest in miri land, the effect of the Succession Ordinance is that a loan secured on miri land, is for the purposes of succession, treated as miri, and is subject to the law dealing with miri land, whereas a loan secured otherwise is free from such restriction. 3. The object of this amending Ordinance is therefore to remove this anomaly by amending the definition-of "miri land" so as to exclude all interests in such land registered by way of security for money and by making a consequential amendment to the definition of "mulk land".

  • 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.

  • Survey of Palestinian Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons 2004 - 2005
    Survey of Palestinian Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons 2004 - 2005 BADIL Resource Center for Palestinian Residency & Refugee Rights i BADIL is a member of the Global Palestine Right of Return Coalition Preface The Survey of Palestinian Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons is published annually by BADIL Resource Center. The Survey provides an overview of one of the largest and longest-standing unresolved refugee and displaced populations in the world today. It is estimated that two out of every five of today’s refugees are Palestinian. The Survey has several objectives: (1) It aims to provide basic information about Palestinian displacement – i.e., the circumstances of displacement, the size and characteristics of the refugee and displaced population, as well as the living conditions of Palestinian refugees and internally displaced persons; (2) It aims to clarify the framework governing protection and assistance for this displaced population; and (3) It sets out the basic principles for crafting durable solutions for Palestinian refugees and internally displaced persons, consistent with international law, relevant United Nations Resolutions and best practice. In short, the Survey endeavors to address the lack of information or misinformation about Palestinian refugees and internally displaced persons, and to counter political arguments that suggest that the issue of Palestinian refugees and internally displaced persons can be resolved outside the realm of international law and practice applicable to all other refugee and displaced populations. The Survey examines the status of Palestinian refugees and internally displaced persons on a thematic basis. Chapter One provides a short historical background to the root causes of Palestinian mass displacement.

Kassem B.A. University of Cincinnati, 1991 M.A. University of Cincinnati, 1998 Committee Chair: Professor Laura Jenkins i ABSTRACT: Eric Hobsbawm argues that recently created nations in the Middle East, such as Israel or Jordan, must be novel. In most instances, these new nations and nationalism that goes along with them have been constructed through what Hobsbawm refers to as “invented traditions.” This thesis will build on Hobsbawm’s concept of “invented traditions,” as well as add one additional but essential national building tool especially in the Middle East, which is the military tradition. These traditions are used by the state of Israel to create a sense of shared identity. These “invented traditions” not only worked to cement together an Israeli Jewish sense of identity, they were also utilized to create a sub national identity for the Druze. The state of Israel, with the cooperation of the Druze elites, has attempted, with some success, to construct through its policies an ethnic identity for the Druze separate from their Arab identity.

  • 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.

As you know, on 12 July 2006, Israel was attacked by Hizbullah terrorists on its northern border, when eight soldiers were killed and two more abducted. What followed was 34 days of continued rocket attacks on northern Israeli communities, launched by Hizbullah terrorists in southern Lebanon. The attacks killed 157 Israelis and injured thousands of others, caused considerable damage to civilian infrastructure, and inflicted psychological trauma on Israel’s civilian population. It should also be mentioned that the two abducted soldiers, Udi Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, have yet to be released by their terrorist captors. I should be grateful if you would have the present letter and its annex circulated as a document of the sixtieth session of the General Assembly, under agenda item 14, and of the Security Council.

Although these disparities continue to exist, evidence has emerged in recent years that the gaps are narrowing. The level of formal education attained by teachers in the Arab system is equal, and sometimes even superior, to that of teachers in the Hebrew sector; the number of pupils in Arab classrooms is approaching that of pupils in Hebrew sector classrooms; enrollment rates in pre-primary and post-primary education, which lagged behind the Hebrew sector rates, are now almost identical to them.
