  • The Arab-Israel War of 1967 1967 Was the Year of the Six-Day War
    The Arab-Israel War of 1967 1967 was the year of the six-day war. Here we bring together its impact on Israel and on the Jewish communities in the Arab countries; United States Middle East policy and United Nations deliberations; effects on the East European Communist bloc, its citizens, and its Jewish communities, and American opinion. For discus- sions of reactions in other parts of the world, see the reviews of individual countries. THE EDITORS Middle East Israel A ALL aspects of Israel's life in 1967 were dominated by the explosion of hostilities on June 5. Two decades of Arab-Israel tension culminated in a massive combined Arab military threat, which was answered by a swift mobilization of Israel's citizen army and, after a period of waiting for international action, by a powerful offensive against the Egyptian, Jor- danian and Syrian forces, leading to the greatest victory in Jewish military annals. During the weeks of danger preceding the six-day war, Jewry throughout the world rallied to Israel's aid: immediate financial support was forthcoming on an unprecedented scale, and thousands of young volunteers offered per- sonal participation in Israel's defense, though they arrived too late to affect the issue (see reviews of individual countries). A new upsurge of national confidence swept away the morale crisis that had accompanied the economic slowdown in 1966. The worldwide Jewish reaction to Israel's danger, and the problems associated with the extension of its military rule over a million more Arabs, led to a reappraisal of atti- tudes towards diaspora Jewry.

  • “In the Service of Peace” Remembering Col Justin
    “In the service of peace” Remembering Col Justin MacCarthy DSM (1914 – 1960) Colonel Richard Heaslip (Retd) In July 1960 Belgium granted independence to the Congo its former colony and the country erupted in widespread violence. International concern resulted in the involvement of the United Nations, which established a peacekeeping force designated UNOC (United Nations Operation in the Congo) to maintain public order. The Irish Government responded very promptly and positively to a request from the United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold to participate in the new peacekeeping mission and agreed to provide an infantry battalion for the Congo. The initial request was followed very quickly by a further request for a second battalion which was also acceded to by Government. The Congo mission would become the country’s third UN military mission and historically the first occasion when armed Defence Forces units were deployed on overseas duty. Preceding UNOC, Ireland’s contribution to UN operations was in the form of unarmed military observers first with UNOGIL (United Nations Observation Group in Lebanon) in June 1958 and subsequently with UNTSO (United Nations Truce Supervision Organisation) in December 1958. Col Justin MacCarthy was about to become the Defence Forces’ link to all three missions. Lt Col MacCarthy (6th Cadet Class), a graduate of the Camberley Command & Staff Course, with previous service in a range of command, staff and instructional appointments, had been selected to lead the Irish contribution to UNOGIL. On arrival in Lebanon his duty station became HQ UNOGIL in Beirut, where within five weeks of his arrival he was promoted to Colonel following a request to the Irish national authorities by Gen Odd Bull (Norway) who led the UNOGIL mission.

  • The Fall of Jerusalem, 1967
    THE FALL OF JERUSALEM, 1967 S. ABDULLAH SCHLEIFER * Monday morning, June 5, 1967. At 0850 an Aide-de-Camp called the Palace in Amman to report to King Hussein Radio Cairo's communique that Israel had attacked Egypt. By 0900 the Egyptian General Abdul-Moneim Riad - who had arrived in Amman with a small group of staff officers to take command of the Jordanian front a few days before the war began - had received a coded message in Amman from UAR Field Marshal Amer. The UAR, the message said, had put out of action 75 per cent of the Israeli planes that had attacked the Egyptian airports and the UAR Army, having met the Israeli land attack in Sinai, was going over to a counter-offensive. "Therefore Marshal Amer orders the opening of a new front by the commander of the Jordanian forces and the launching of offensive operations according to the plan drawn up last night."' In Arab Jerusalem, Ishak Duzdar and Bahjat Abu Gharbiyeh, leaders of the civilian resistance committee formed at the end of May, were at the Governorate demanding arms. Governor Anwar Khattib had already called the army and had been promised they would be delivered that day. The two men returned to the Old City to await the rest of their staff at resistance committee HQs. And at 0910 hours, according to the Churchills' account (based on the Israeli War Diaries) the Israeli commander of the Central Front, General Uzzi Narkiss was on the telephone on the other side of the cease-fire line, talking with Teddy Kollek, Mayor of Israeli Jerusalem.

  • Special Article Demographic Trends in Israel and Palestine: Prospects and Policy Implications
    Special Article Demographic Trends in Israel and Palestine: Prospects and Policy Implications BY SERGIO DELLAPERGOLA WHILE PUBLIC DEBATE tends to focus on issues of secu- rity and politics, the past, present, and future of the Israeli- Palestinian conflict are intimately and crucially related to the way demographic variables affect population size and composition. Therefore, a demographic perspective is essential in the search for a resolution.1 The conflict stems from ideological, historical, religious, and political differences that are rooted in ancient cultural traditions. It was during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that the two sides provided new symbolic meanings, added new contentious frameworks, and reinforced old disagreements, rendering solutions more difficult. At the core of the contemporary confrontation, two peoples—Jews and Arabs—claim rights of settlement and po- litical sovereignty over the same territory they both view as home- land. The very name of that land—in Arab: Falastin, in Hebrew: Eretz Yisrael—is itself the subject of controversy. Around this principal bone of contention, two additional tiers further complicate the conflict. The first reflects the general hos- tility of Arab societies toward the State of Israel. This regional di- mension has been demonstrated by repeated, direct interventions by Middle Eastern countries and political movements in support of the Palestinian side of the conflict. The second tier relates to 'Early versions of this paper were presented at the XXIV General Population Confer- ence of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population, Salvador de Bahia, Session 64, Population Change and Political Transitions (Chair: Massimo Livi Bacci; Dis- cussant: Alan Hill), August 2001; and at the David Patterson Seminar, Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies, Yarnton, October 2002.

  • Rememberance & Research, No. 1, (2016) English
    Introductory Note [3] We are pleased to present the first issue of Remembrance and Research – The Journal of the Israel Oral History Association (ILOHA) – a bi-lingual journal whose objective is to serve as an academic forum for articles dealing with oral history, and to publish reviews and information on the field. Remembrance and Research substitutes the bulletin of ILOHA that started to appear in 2003 as a booklet of eight pages in Hebrew, which gradually grew to 32 pages. The two last issues (8 & 9) were bilingual, and gained audiences and participants from abroad. In view of the higher quality of articles we received, and of the growing interest in the field of oral history, it was decided to publish this journal as a forum of debate and clarification on theoretical and practical aspects of oral history. This journal is designed to serve scholars, laypersons and professionals in the field. The first issue presents to the reader different problems related to oral history in the fields of the Holocaust, politics, military history, ethnic identity and old age. Abstracts: The Hebrew Section The Historian Versus the Testimony: Debates and Reflections Dalia Ofer Prof. Dalia Ofer analyzes the significance of the testimony for the historian, stressing the centrality of oral history in the study of the Shoa, and points out important landmarks in the development of the field. She describes the doubts that accompanied her research on the validity of personal testimonies with respect to other historical sources. She reaches the conclusion that testimonies have to be treated with Remembrance and Research, ILOHA, no.1, December 2015 The editors [4] respect and criticism, exactly as any other document.
