One change in the composition of the Journal has been necessary. The summaries in Hebrew and French will no longer appear. We know that they were of interest to some people, and we apologize to them for with- drawing what they may hitherto have enjoyed. It has become clear, however, that the summaries are of little use to the great majority of our readership, and we have been obliged to dispense with them, at least for the time being. 3 ' TUNISIAN JEWRY DURING TUE LAST TWENTY YEARS Robert Attal EFORE the Second \Vorld War, Tunisian Jewry, quite distinct from the Jewries of Algeria and Morocco, was hardly known to Bthe wider Jewish world. Up to the eve of the War, the Jews of Tunisia lived peacefully among their Muslim, French, Italian, and Maltese neighbours. They had emancipated themselves with astonish- ing speed. They were able to take the highest places in the secondary schools and colleges. They were capable of fighting for their rights with great determination.L It took the War to make the outside world realize that Tunisian Jewry existed—a war which, of course, brought new problems for thesc Jews to face. From this point on world Jewish organizations were to make a great impact on them and their elite was to break the last chains of its spiritual ghetto. Other events, such as the creation of the State of Israel and the granting of independence to Tunisia, were also to have their repercussions. In this paper I shall try to review the different stages of development through which this 'historyless Jewry' has passed. The story is one of upheaval and abrupt change. May 1943 saw the end of the Nazi grip on Tunisia and the opening of a new era for its Jews. Reacting to the Anglo-American landings in Algeria in November 1942, the Germans at once occupied Tunisia, only to be driven out by the Allied forces in May of the following year. The Nazi occupation of Tunisia thus lasted six months. However, because the country was at that time a French Protectorate, even before 1942 the Jews had had to suffer the consequences of the anti-Jewish policy pursued by the Pétain Government. The Treaty dated 30 November 1940 applied the Slatut des Ji4fs to Tunisia. It wac aimed principally at introducing a nurnerus clausus in 4 TUNISIAN JEWRY the public services, and on 26 June 1941 a census was ordered. This, the first step in the extension of the Statul des Jufs, was followed by a long series of anti-Jewish laws and regulations which bore heavily upon the Jews of Tunisia. Before the German Occupation, the nuinerus clausus had been applied mainly to civil servants, but in addition lawyers had been removed from the Bar, doctors had been specially licensed to practise only among their fellow-Jews, Jewish organizations had been dissolved, and in October 1942 had begun the sequestration of Jewish property and the removal of cinemas and publications from their Jewish owners. The elected Community Council was dissolved in September 1941. In its place was put a Communal Administrative Committee, headed by a President who bore the ungrateful task of trying to check the disastrous consequences of each new antisemitic decree and of looking after the unemployed civil servants and the job- less among the young men. The last decree issued in Tunisia by the Vichy Government came on 22 October 1942. After that, with the advent of the Axis forces, decrees affecting the Jews were signed by Generals von 4rnheim and von Nehring. Then began the period of 'harassment by the police, arbitrary arrests, large-scale raids, and intern- ment camps'.2 The sudden and unexpected arrival of German troops delivered nearly ioo,000 Jews into their hands. (These Jews were divided by nationality as follows: 68,268 were Tunisian subjects, 6,496 of French nationality, 3,208 Italian subjects, and 668 British subjects.) The Ger- mans, on the model of the Judenrat set up in Eastern Europe, created a Jewish Council which was forced to carry out the anti-Jewish measures imposed on it. On 23 November 1942 the Germans arrested leading Jews, and the next day began to requisition Jewish housing, the owners being obliged to abandon all their furniture and effects. The Committee had to furnish a list of i,00o residences liable to requisition, as well as a roll of 2,000 young Jews for forced labour, the Committee being obliged to provide the latter with food, clothing, and equipment.

Many of the sources posed problems concerning numerical data on immi­ gration, especially for the months leading up to the end of the British Mandate, January-April 1948, and the first few months of the state, May­ August 1948. The researchers point out that 7,574 immigrant data cards are missing from the records and believe this to be due to the 'circumstances of the times'. Records are complete from September 1948 onward, and an important population census was held in November 1948. A parallel record­ ing system conducted by the Jewish Agency, which continued to operate after that of the Mandatory Government, provided us with statistical data for immigration during 1948-9 and made it possible to analyse the part taken by the Holocaust survivors.

  • A Rhetorical History of the British Constitution of Israel, 1917-1948
    A RHETORICAL HISTORY OF THE BRITISH CONSTITUTION OF ISRAEL, 1917-1948 by BENJAMIN ROSWELL BATES (Under the Direction of Celeste Condit) ABSTRACT The Arab-Israeli conflict has long been presented as eternal and irresolvable. A rhetorical history argues that the standard narrative can be challenged by considering it a series of rhetorical problems. These rhetorical problems can be reconstructed by drawing on primary sources as well as publicly presented texts. A methodology for doing rhetorical history that draws on Michael Calvin McGee's fragmentation thesis is offered. Four theoretical concepts (the archive, institutional intent, peripheral text, and center text) are articulated. British Colonial Office archives, London Times coverage, and British Parliamentary debates are used to interpret four publicly presented rhetorical acts. In 1915-7, Britain issued the Balfour Declaration and the McMahon-Hussein correspondence. Although these documents are treated as promises in the standard narrative, they are ambiguous declarations. As ambiguous documents, these texts offer opportunities for constitutive readings as well as limiting interpretations. In 1922, the Mandate for Palestine was issued to correct this vagueness. Rather than treating the Mandate as a response to the debate between realist foreign policy and self-determination, Winston Churchill used epideictic rhetoric to foreclose a policy discussion in favor of a vote on Britain's honour. As such, the Mandate did not account for Wilsonian drives in the post-War international sphere. After Arab riots and boycotts highlighted this problem, a commission was appointed to investigate new policy approaches. In the White Paper of 1939, a rhetoric of investigation limited Britain's consideration of possible policies.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract In mandatory Palestine, Zionist civil society proved to be a powerful instrument for institution- and state-building. Civil society developed around four conditions: shared values, horizontal linkages of participation, boundary demarcation and interaction with the state. These four 6ctors were created and/or enhanced by the provision of medical services and by the organization of public health. In Jewish Palestine, these were developed - especially in the 1930s - by two medical agencies: the Hadassah Medical Organization and Kupat Cholim. First of all, Zionist health developed autonomously from an administrative point of view. Secondly, it was organized in a network of horizontal participation which connect different sections of the (Jewish) population. In the third place, medical provision worked as a connecting element between territory, society and administratioiL Lastly, the construction of health in mandatory Palestine contributed to create a cultural uniformity which was implicitly nationalistic.
