    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.
  • The Israel/Palestine Question

    The Israel/Palestine Question

    THE ISRAEL/PALESTINE QUESTION The Israel/Palestine Question assimilates diverse interpretations of the origins of the Middle East conflict with emphasis on the fight for Palestine and its religious and political roots. Drawing largely on scholarly debates in Israel during the last two decades, which have become known as ‘historical revisionism’, the collection presents the most recent developments in the historiography of the Arab-Israeli conflict and a critical reassessment of Israel’s past. The volume commences with an overview of Palestinian history and the origins of modern Palestine, and includes essays on the early Zionist settlement, Mandatory Palestine, the 1948 war, international influences on the conflict and the Intifada. Ilan Pappé is Professor at Haifa University, Israel. His previous books include Britain and the Arab-Israeli Conflict (1988), The Making of the Arab-Israeli Conflict, 1947–51 (1994) and A History of Modern Palestine and Israel (forthcoming). Rewriting Histories focuses on historical themes where standard conclusions are facing a major challenge. Each book presents 8 to 10 papers (edited and annotated where necessary) at the forefront of current research and interpretation, offering students an accessible way to engage with contemporary debates.

    Frontier and Periphery in Late Antique Palestine Doron Bar HE DEFINITION of “frontier” in Roman studies usually means border, a distinct area on the map which sym- Tbolizes the edge of the Roman Empire’s territory and sovereignty, a region where Romans, by war, trade, or exile, encountered other cultures. Most Roman frontier studies in the past have attempted to unravel the geographical complexity of the frontier system.1 Such investigations, however, pay insuffi- cient attention to other, no less significant types of “frontiers,” interior and exterior, crucial to our understanding of Late Antiquity.2 In this article I will try to define the place and importance of the “frontier” in the settlement history of Late Antique Pal- estine. “Frontier” will be defined here as a remote and sparsely settled area, untouched territory and a place for pioneers.3 The 1 The bibliography on this subject is of course enormous. See for example E. Luttwak, The Grand Strategy of the Roman Empire (Baltimore 1976); Roman Frontier Studies, 15th International Congress of Roman Frontier Studies (Exeter 1989); D. Kennedy and D. Riley, Rome’s Desert Frontier from the Air (London 1990); B. Isaac, The Limits of Empire: The Roman Army in the East 2 (Oxford 1992); C. R. Whittaker, Frontiers of the Roman Empire (Baltimore 1994); H. Elton, Frontiers of the Roman Empire (London 1996); D. Cherry, Frontier and Society in Roman North Africa (Oxford 1998); G.

  • The Suppression of the Great Revolt and the Destruction of Everyday Life in Palestine

    Over the past quarter century, the The Suppression deconstruction and obstruction of of the Great Revolt everyday life in the occupied Palestinian and the Destruction territories has become all too familiar. Since the Oslo era (1993–2000), the of Everyday Life in checkpoint has, in many ways, come to Palestine symbolize Israel’s willful obstruction of Palestinians’ most elementary of Charles Anderson freedoms: the ability to move from place to place.1 Going to school, tending to agricultural areas, conducting business in an adjacent town, or visiting relatives and friends – the simplest activities of modern life and society – all become subject to the time distorting effects of unpredictable lines and the routine harassment and humiliation of security checks at the network of checkpoints that grew in the 1990s. In turn, Palestinian space has been fragmented and parcelized in dizzying fashion, with islands of supposed Palestinian control (“Area A” of the West Bank) decomposed into some 227 “enclaves” by the end of the Oslo years, 88 percent of which were less than two square kilometers in size, and all surrounded or divided from each other by Israeli jurisdictions and checkpoints.2 Drawing on Heidegger’s observation that the ability to self-consciously control the use of time is one of humanity’s defining characteristics, Amal Jamal suggests that the removal or muting of that capacity in the occupied Palestinian territories – what Jamal describes as subjection to “racialized time” – has been deliberately used to diminish Palestinian life
