  • New Book on Revisionist-Zionist Terrorists
    New Book on Revisionist-Zionist Terrorists Thomas G. Mitchell, Ph.D., an independent scholar, is an occasional contributor to our blog. His newest books are “Likud Leaders” (McFarland, 2015) and “Israel’s Security Men” (McFarland, 2015). Dr. Mitchell’s review (below), embeds Bruce Hoffman’s new book in an ongoing discussion on how important the terror/guerrilla campaigns of the two Revisionist Zionist undergrounds were in the creation of Israel. Hoffman, as well as Tablet reviewer Adam Kirsch, hedge their bets somewhat, but suggest that these terror attacks were crucial; Tom Segev, who reviewed it for the NY Times, is doubtful. Anonymous Soldiers: The Struggle for Israel 1917-47 By Bruce Hoffman, Alfred A. Knopf, 618 pp. (484 pp. of text), $35 ($25.41 on Amazon). International terrorism expert Bruce Hoffman has chosen to write a book about the exploits of the Irgun Zvai Leumi (the Irgun or Etzel) and Lehi (Stern Group) in driving the British out of Palestine in the 1940s. Why should Hoffman have spent his time researching and writing this book and why should you spend your time reading it? First, Palestine is a classic example of a victorious strategy of urban guerrilla warfare, much like Ireland from 1919 to 1921. From the mid-1950s to the early 1970s, Menahem Begin’s memoir of his life as an underground leader, The Revolt, was almost required reading for revolutionary leaders in British colonies and had a major influence with EOKA in Cyprus and the IRA in Northern Ireland. Second, Hoffman’s book tells the story of the origins of the Israeli- Palestinian conflict, which is still with us today.

  • Lehi and the Arabs
    Lehi and the Arabs Here we discuss Lehi’s personal contacts with the Arabs, as indicated by his family background and his association with Ishmael, whose descendants in the New World closely resemble the Ishmaelites (Bedouins) of the Old World. The names of Lehi and some of his sons are pure Arabic. The Book of Mormon depicts Lehi as a man of three worlds, and it has recently become generally recognized that the ancient Hebrews shared fully in the culture and traditions of the desert on the one hand and in the cultural heritage of Egypt on the other. Lehi’s ties with the Arabs are many and interesting. Since the only comprehensive study of this theme is a chapter of Lehi in the Desert, we can do no better in this lesson than to quote that chapter, with necessary alterations and additions. Signicance of Manasseh Now of all the tribes of Israel, Manasseh was the one which lived farthest out in the desert, came into the most frequent contact with the Arabs, intermarried with them most frequently, and at the same time had the closest traditional bonds with Egypt.1 The prominence of the name of Ammon in the Book of Mormon may have something to do with the fact that Ammon was Manasseh’s nearest neighbor and often fought him in the deserts east of Jordan; at the same time a prehistoric connection with the Ammon of Egypt is not at all out of the question. The seminomadic nature of Manasseh might explain why Lehi seems out of touch with things in Jerusalem.

  • Down with Britain, Away with Zionism: the 'Canaanites'
    DOWN WITH BRITAIN, AWAY WITH ZIONISM: THE ‘CANAANITES’ AND ‘LOHAMEY HERUT ISRAEL’ BETWEEN TWO ADVERSARIES Roman Vater* ABSTRACT: The imposition of the British Mandate over Palestine in 1922 put the Zionist leadership between a rock and a hard place, between its declared allegiance to the idea of Jewish sovereignty and the necessity of cooperation with a foreign ruler. Eventually, both Labour and Revisionist Zionism accommodated themselves to the new situation and chose a strategic partnership with the British Empire. However, dissident opinions within the Revisionist movement were voiced by a group known as the Maximalist Revisionists from the early 1930s. This article analyzes the intellectual and political development of two Maximalist Revisionists – Yonatan Ratosh and Israel Eldad – tracing their gradual shift to anti-Zionist positions. Some questions raised include: when does opposition to Zionist politics transform into opposition to Zionist ideology, and what are the implications of such a transition for the Israeli political scene after 1948? Introduction The standard narrative of Israel’s journey to independence goes generally as follows: when the British military rule in Palestine was replaced in 1922 with a Mandate of which the purpose was to implement the 1917 Balfour Declaration promising support for a Jewish ‘national home’, the Jewish Yishuv in Palestine gained a powerful protector. In consequence, Zionist politics underwent a serious shift when both the leftist Labour camp, led by David Ben-Gurion (1886-1973), and the rightist Revisionist camp, led by Zeev (Vladimir) Jabotinsky (1880-1940), threw in their lot with Britain. The idea of the ‘covenant between the Empire and the Hebrew state’1 became a paradigm for both camps, which (temporarily) replaced their demand for a Jewish state with the long-term prospect of bringing the Yishuv to qualitative and quantitative supremacy over the Palestinian Arabs under the wings of the British Empire.

  • The Partitioning of Palestine the Decision to Partition Palestine
    MOMENTOUS DECISIONS The partitioning of Palestine The decision to partition Palestine. • Who made the decision? • The United Nations General Assembly. • When? • UN General Assembly Resolution 181 (Partition Plan) November 29, 1947. • Israel = blue. • Arab Palestine = sienna (clay colour). • Jerusalem = white. Two maps reviewed by UN Subcommittee 2 in considering partition. • Land ownership (%). • Green = Arab. • Red = Jewish. • White = public space. • Population distribution. • Black = Arab. • Grey = Jewish. • Circles 200,000, 100,000 • 50,000, 10,000. Background information. • After the uprising led by Bar Kockhba in 132CE had been quelled, the majority of the Jewish population of Judea was either killed, exiled, or sold into slavery and Jewish religious and political authority, including the Jesus sect, was suppressed far more brutally than previously. • This meant that Jews did not have a homeland. • After centuries of living in a diaspora, and many pogroms, the 1894 Dreyfus Affair in France highlighted the fact that the Jews would continue to suffer from arbitrary anti-Semitism until they had their own country. The Dreyfus Affair. 1. • Alfred Dreyfus, an obscure captain in the French army, came from a Jewish family that had left its native Alsace for Paris when Germany annexed that province in 1871. • In 1894, papers discovered in a wastebasket in the office of a German military attaché made it appear that a French military officer was providing secret information to the German government. The Dreyfus Affair. 2 • Dreyfus came under suspicion, probably because he was a Jew and also because he had access to the type of information that had been supplied to the German agent.

  • Liberal Or Zionist? Ambiguity Or Ambivalence? Reply to Jonathan Hogg
    Eras Journal - Dubnov, A.: Liberal or Zionist? Ambiguity or Ambivalence? Reply to Jonathan Hogg Liberal or Zionist? Ambiguity or Ambivalence? Reply to Jonathan Hogg Arie Dubnov (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) Whether defined as an ideology, a dogma or a creed, or more loosely, as a set of neutral values and principles with no clear hierarchy, most interpreters would describe Liberalism as a predominantly British world-view. For that reason it is not surprising that the political thought of Sir Isaiah Berlin (1909-1997), one of the most prominent defenders of Liberalism in the twentieth century, is also interpreted in most cases through the prism of this English, or Anglo-American intellectual tradition, although he himself defined his Englishness only as one of the three strands of his life.[1] Ignoring Berlin's Russian-Jewish identity, or treating it merely as a biographical fact makes it hard for historians to reinterpret and contextualize Berlin's thought. The main merit in Jonathan Hogg's thought-provoking essay is that it insists on taking seriously two critical questions, which might help in changing this perspective.[2]First, it inquires into the nature of Isaiah Berlin's role within Cold War liberal discourse, and secondly, it seeks to comprehend the exact nature of his Zionism. By doing so Hogg offers Berlin's future interpreters two major themes upon which to focus. Moreover, he prepares the ground for a more inclusive, coherent and comprehensive study of Berlin's thought, one that would treat it as a multilayered whole. Here, however, I will try to show that although Hogg posits two essential questions, the answers he proffers are not always sufficient or convincing.

From the Irgun, which carried out terrorist acts in Palestine, to the Palestinian Islamist organization Hamas, which has waged war on Israel, to the Buddhist leadership of Myanmar, which has waged a genocidal campaign against Rohingya Muslims living in the country, these groups have employed a narrow interpretation of their religious texts as a means to justify the actions they take.

  • Chapter 2: the Middle East Conflict in Outline
    2 7KH0LGGOH(DVW&RQIOLFWLQ2XWOLQH Origins of the Conflict 2.1 The modern Middle East conflict between Israel and neighbouring Arab states could be said to have begun in 1897 when Theodor Hertzl convened the First World Zionist Congress in Basel, Switzerland. With Jews facing increased discrimination and pogroms in Europe and Russia, Dr Hertzl called for the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. 2.2 During the First World War, British officials in the Middle East promised independence to the Arabs in return for their support against Turkey. The 1916 Anglo-French (Sykes-Pikot) Agreement broke this promise and the region was divided into spheres of influence between France and Britain. Meanwhile, the campaign for a Jewish homeland continued, culminating in the Balfour Declaration of 2 November 1917, which stated that Britain viewed with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people. The Declaration, in the form of a letter from the British Foreign Secretary, Lord Balfour, was addressed to Baron Rothschild, a leader of British Jewry, following consideration in the Cabinet.1 The Declaration also indicated that, in supporting such an aim: … nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or 1 Historical material is this Chapter has been drawn from a number of sources, particularly— The BBC World Service website: www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/middleeast; the Avalon Project, Yale Law School website: www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/mideast/; M Ong, Department of the Parliamentary Library, Current Issues Brief No. 6, 2000-01, The Middle East Crisis: Losing Control?, 5 December 2000; L Joffe, Keesing's Guide to the Mid-East Peace Process, Catermill Publishing, London, 1996; and The Palestinian-Israeli Peace Agreement: A Documentary Record, published by the Institute for Palestine Studies, Washington DC, 1993.

  • Deir Yassin Massacre (1948)
    Document B The 1948 War Deir Yassin Massacre Deir Yassin Massacre (1948) Early in the morning of April 9, 1948, commandos of the Irgun (headed by Menachem Begin) and the Stern Gang attacked Deir Yassin, a village with about 750 Palestinian residents. The village lay outside of the area to be assigned by the United Nations to the Jewish State; it had a peaceful reputation. But it was located on high ground in the corridor between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Deir Yassin was slated for occupation under Plan Dalet and the mainstream Jewish defense force, the Haganah, authorized the irregular terrorist forces of the Irgun and the Stern Gang to perform the takeover. In all over 100 men, women, and children were systematically murdered. Fifty-three orphaned children were literally dumped along the wall of the Old City, where they were found by Miss Hind Husseini and brought behind the American Colony Hotel to her home, which was to become the Dar El-Tifl El-Arabi orphanage. (source: http://www.deiryassin.org) Natan Yellin-Mor (Jewish) responded to the massacre: When I remember what led to the massacre of my mother, sister and other members of my family, I can’t accept this massacre. I know that in the heat of battle such things happen, and I know that the people who do these things don’t start out with such things in mind. They kill because their own comrades have being killed and wounded, and they want their revenge at that very moment. But who tells them to be proud of such deeds? (From Eyal naveh and Eli bar-Navi, Modern Times, part 2, page 228) One of the young men of the Deir Yassin village reported what he has been told by his mother: My mother escaped with my two small brothers, one-year old and two-years old.

  • Zionist Perspectives from Herzl to Begin Syllabus (PDF)
    Political Zionism and Covenantal Judaism: Zionist Perspectives from Herzl to Begin An Honors First Year Writing Course Throughout its history, two different facets of the Zionist project have either existed in tension with each other, or complemented one another. On the one hand, Israel is, and seeks to be, a flourishing democratic state that makes manifest the modern Jewish right to national self-determination. On the other hand, Zionism has long claimed to represent the covenantal, religious longings of Jews over millennia. The goal of this course is to examine how these two facets of the Zionist project are reflected in the worldview and career of one of the most influential leaders of modern Israel: Menachem Begin. The course will first trace the roots of modern Zionism in general, and Revisionist Zionism in particular, by focusing on the writings of Theodore Herzl and Ze'ev (Vladimir) Jabotinsky. We will then focus on some of the seminal and controversial moments in Begin's life, beginning with those that occurred before his election as Prime Minister: the revolution against the British mandate; the tensions between Begin and Ben- Gurion and the Altalena incident; the debate over whether the nascent State of Israel should accept reparations from Germany; Knesset discussions over the role religion would play in defining the national culture of the state; and the unity cabinet during the Six Day War. The second part of the course will examine moments in Begin's administration that continue to impact Israel today: The peace treaty with Egypt;; the strike against the Iraqi nuclear reactor; and the Lebanon war.

  • Pre-IDF Brigades: Haganah, Irgun and Lechi
    Educator’s Guide Pre-IDF Brigades: Haganah, Irgun and Lechi This video tells the fascinating story of three Jewish militias in pre-State Palestine: Haganah, Irgun and Lechi. Before the groups joined forces to become the IDF in 1948, they had major ideological differences. They were all set on the Zionist ideal of creating a Jewish state, but disagreed about how to achieve this goal. Between Ben-Gurion’s diplomatic approach, Begin’s pro-active one, and the Stern Gang’s radicalism, tensions ran high in the 40’s. In this episode, students will consider: What were the key differences between the groups, and how did they put these differences aside to work together? Which of these groups do you identify with most and why? Link to video: https://unpacked.education/video/pre-idf-brigades-haganah-irgun-and-lechi/ Further Reading 1.
