  • ^ How I Became a "Self-Hating Jew"
    How I Became-ALL ARTS I was surfing the web and I found this wonderful video, "How I became a 'Self- Hating Jew'". This clearly intelligent & sensitive young woman's heart shines brightly. Her descriptions of her encounters with Zionists & their supporters is just heart- breaking. More and more people need to see the obvious; Israel is a terrorist, racist, theocratic, and soul-killing country. It's not good for the Palestinians, the Bedouins, not even the Jewish people themselves. I'm glad Carey Wedler gets it. I hope other young people understands this, too.

  • 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.

  • Promoting Zionism at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center Moshe Fuksman-Sha'al
    Promoting Zionism at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center Moshe Fuksman-Sha'al How the Menachem Begin Heritage Center Was Established In 1992, Irgun leader, sixth Prime Minister of Israel and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, Menachem Begin, passed away. Several days later, a group of his friends and associates gathered and decided to establish the Menachem Begin Heritage Foundation which would establish a center to commemorate Begin's work and heritage for future generations. These figures, including Yaakov Meridor, Reuven Hecht, Yechiel Kadishai, Harry Hurwitz, Natan Silber and others, began by raising millions of dollars in Israel and abroad to promote their goal. In 1998, Knesset member Reuven Rivlin proposed the Menachem Begin Commemoration Law, which was supported by nearly100 Knesset members. The Knesset passed the law, thereby establishing the Begin Center as the official, state-funded memorial for Prime Minister Menachem Begin. After the law was passed, the Begin Center was established, containing archives, a library and a research center and running a regular program of commemoration, educational and publicity events. All of the events are connected to Menachem Begin's work and legacy. In June 2004, the Menachem Begin Heritage Foundation finished erecting its permanent building and museum, at the cost of $20 million in donations. The building, overlooking the walls of the old city of Jerusalem was opened to the public. The center has since then had over 500,000 visitors. 159 A Renaissance of Jewish Culture and Tradition in Israel The Center's activities The Center, situated on the archeological site known as the Hinnom Ridge, is home to the Begin archives.

  • For Stern for Stern
    HISTORY COMES ALIVE da. In a casual conversation with the playwright, Boaz Arad, director of the Ayn Rand Center in Israel, recom- mended Schub for the role after having just met Schub for the first time. “It wasn’t until I read Zev’s play that I realized that Avra- ham Stern chose the nom de guerre and nom de plume ‘Yair’ based on Elazar Ben Yair, leader of the Jews on Masa- da,” Schub recalled. “Having just gotten engaged on Masada, I took it as a sign that both Elazar Ben Yair and Yair Stern were making me an offer I couldn’t refuse.” Schub and Golan saw in Stern an individualist who clung to his independent judgment, even at the risk of death, supported only by young idealists willing to die for their future country – the Stern Gang, as their foes called them. Searching “He didn’t want uniforms. He didn’t want people who thought alike. He wanted individuals,” Golan told In Jeru- salem. TODAY, IN discourse about Palestinian terrorism, Stern for Stern Group operations are often cited as examples of Jewish “terrorism.” Schub and Golan reject the analogy to Pales- tinian terrorism. In his book, Golan counted only one possible terrorist attack against civilians among the hun- dreds of assassinations and military-style Lehi operations. A new play in English seeks to honor Stern specifically avoided targeting civilians and non-Brit- ish politicians. the memory of the Lehi founder “The terrorists of the 1940s were not the terrorists of today,” Golan said. “Today, the terrorists seek civilians – men, women and children.” Ironically, Schub delved into the mind of Arab terrorists Ayala Shiftan (playing Roni Stern) and Steven Schub (Avraham ‘Yair’ Stern) bring the husband and wife to life.

  • THESIS- THIRD Format Corrections Completed
    ABSTRACT Policing Palestine: British Security Strategy in Palestine, 1917-1947 Robert B. DeBoard, M.A. Mentor: George W. Gawrych, Ph.D. Throughout the British Mandate for Palestine, the British Government attempted to establish a policy that reconciled the dueling aspirations of Palestine’s Arab and Jewish communities. This thesis examines British security operations to suppress the Arab Revolt of 1936, Jewish terrorism during World War II, and the post-war United Resistance Movement. This study contends that the British adopted a colonial policing model that stressed the security forces’ reliance on native support in order to suppress active threats to peace. Second, it demonstrates that shifting British policy led to the alienation of the Jewish community, which had provided important support in suppressing the Arab Revolt. As Jewish intelligence sources dried up, the British were increasingly unable to counter violence coming from the Jewish Underground. This thesis adds to the historiography of the Mandate by demonstrating the complex relationship between British colonial policy, security strategy, and Arab and Jewish national interests.

Materials: • LEHI PowerPoint • LEHI Video • Copies of Documents A-J. Plan of Instruction: The PowerPoint, video and supporting documents reinforce lesson content through purposeful repetition and the gradual addition of new material. 1. Pass out Documents A-J. 2. Mini-lecture with PowerPoint: • Slide: LEHI’s Origins: LEHI, an acronym for Lochemi Herut L’Yisrael, or Fighters for the Freedom of Israel, is the first Jewish underground group to declare war on Britain. The British nickname it ‘The Stern Gang’. • Slide: Avraham Stern: LEHI’s founder is Avraham Stern, a 32-year-old poet and classical scholar. A religious Jew, the nom de guerre he takes is Yair, after Elazar Ben-Yair, the commander of Jewish forces at Masada, a mountain fortress near the Dead Sea, which fell after a long Roman siege. Stern begins his underground career in 1932 in the Irgun, an organization which broke off from the Haganah. Although Stern is a member of the Irgun High Command, he splits from the Irgun in the fall of 1940 when his friend, the Irgun’s commander David Raziel makes a truce with the British at the start of World War II. Raziel views the Nazis as the overriding threat. Stern thinks differently. He sees little difference between Germany and Britain. Germany persecutes Jews in Europe (this was before the Nazis implemented their “final solution”) and Britain refuses to let Jews escape that persecution.
