  • The Southern Hebron Hills: Susiya, Eshtemoa, Maʻon (In Judea), and Ḥ. ʻanim
    chapter 3 The Southern Hebron Hills: Susiya, Eshtemoa, Maʻon (in Judea), and Ḥ. ʻAnim The southern hill country of Palestine, known as the Judean Hills, is divided into three ranges running north to south: the Bethel Hills, the Jerusalem Hills, and the Hebron Hills. The Hebron Hills rise higher than the Jerusalem Hills to the north and drop steeply to the east and west.1 Unlike the Lower Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea Region, the area to the south of the city of Hebron comprised a fairly dense settlement zone during the Roman and Byzantine periods, mostly consisting of small villages.2 It is this area that the historical sources typically identify as the “Darom.”3 The Jewish settlements of the southern Hebron Hills served as the topic for David Amit’s 2003 doctoral dissertation.4 His work at the sites of Maʻon (in Judea) and Ḥ. ʻAnim was the core of the study, while the synagogues at Kh. Susiya and Eshtemoa as well as finds from sites elsewhere in the southern Hebron Hills provided the materials for comparative discussions, specifically regarding the architectural orientation of the buildings and the symbolic use of the menorah among the synagogues’ artistic repertoire. Amit’s study includes the most comprehensive discussions of the four synagogues—Kh. Susiya, Eshtemoa, Maʻon (in Judea), and Ḥ. ʻAnim—available to date. His chap- ters on Maʻon and Ḥ. ʻAnim present the finds of the excavation and therefore serve as an unpublished final report for the fieldwork. The sections on the sites not excavated by the author—Kh.

    Financing the Israeli Occupation The Current Involvement of Israeli Banks in Israeli Settlement Activity Flash Report November 2013 In October 2010, Who Profits published a report about the Israeli banks' involvement in the Israeli occupation. The Israeli banks provide the financial infrastructure for activities of companies, governmental agencies and individuals in the occupied Palestinian territories and the Syrian Golan Heights. Who Profits' research identified six categories in which Israeli banks are involved in the occupation: providing mortgage loans for homebuyers in settlements; providing financial services to settlements' local authorities; providing special loans for construction projects in settlements; operating branches in Israeli settlements; providing financial services to businesses in settlements; and benefiting from access to the Palestinian monetary market as a captured market. Additionally, as Who Profits' report shows, it is evident that the banks are well aware of the types and whereabouts of the activity that is being carried out with their financial assistance. Our new flash report reveals that all the Israeli banks are still heavily involved in financing Israeli settlements, providing services to settlements and financially supporting construction project on occupied land.

    Sara Yael Hirschhorn – Excerpt From Dissertation Chapter Three: Efrat – Copyright 2011 – Do Not Circulate Raishit Geula: Rabbi Shlomo Riskin’s Jewish-American Garin and the Makings of Efrat, 1973-1987 Efrat, named for the biblical locale mentioned in the Book of Chronicles, is located in the Gush Etzion region of the West Bank between Bethlehem and Hebron. With a population of over seven thousand residents, of which approximately half are American-Israelis, the city is the most highly recognizable Jewish-American colony in the occupied territories and has emerged as the cornerstone of the Etzion bloc.1 Yet, how did Efrat rise from the rubble of the post-1973 war to become the incipient American-style ―capital of the Gush‖2 in less than a decade? The story of Efrat is one of a strategic partnership between Israeli settlers and Jewish- American immigrants after the Yom Kippur War. It is framed by the personal friendship and professional partnership between Moshe Moshkowitz, a son of the pre-1948 Gush Etzion settlements and the New York –based modern Orthodox rabbi Steven (Shlomo) Riskin, which combined the insider knowledge and connections of a native activist with the capital and manpower galvanized by a dynamic spiritual leader. Efrat also produced a new model for American-Israeli settlement in the West Bank that combined the efforts an Israeli non- governmental organization, the Judean Hills Development Co., alongside Garin Raishit Geula [lit. The Origins of Redemption] in the United States. This cooperative venture and division of labor allowed Efrat to deftly navigate the politics and pitfalls of local coordination with the Israeli government while still retaining the distinctly American character of its new township.

  • Of 19 a List of Companies Targeted for Divestment by Institutional Investors Around the World Due to Their Complicity In
    A list of companies targeted for divestment by institutional investors around the world due to their complicity in severe violations of human rights and international law in the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands and in the attacks on Gaza. Companies traded in the United States: THE BOEING COMPANY The Boeing Company is a multinational arms manufacturer headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. In 2012, it was listed as the second largest arms supplier in the world. The company has provided Israel with AH-64 Apache helicopters, F-15 Eagle fighter jets, Hellfire missiles (produced with Lockheed Martin), as well as MK84 2000-lb bombs, Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) kits that turn bombs into “smart,” guided bombs, and the Harpoon sea- to-sea missile system. The Israeli Air Force uses various other Boeing aircraft for transport and refueling, and is anticipating the delivery of Bell Boeing V-22 aircraft. Boeing has long-term cooperation agreements with the Israeli weapons industry that include the development of the Arrow anti-ballistic missile system (with Israel Aerospace Industries) and the marketing in the US of the Israeli UAV military drones Hermes 450 and 900. Apache helicopters and Hellfire missile-equipped drones are the primary tools used by Israel for attacks on urban Palestinian areas and “targeted assassinations.” Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and United Nations commissions have reported the repeated and regular use of weapons in human rights violations and war crimes committed by the Israeli military in Lebanon, the West Bank, and Gaza. According to the UN’s Fact-Finding Mission to the Gaza Conflict, missiles fired from Apache helicopters targeted civilians during Operation Cast Lead in Gaza in 2008-9.
