  • Israel in 1982: the War in Lebanon
    Israel in 1982: The War in Lebanon by RALPH MANDEL LS ISRAEL MOVED INTO its 36th year in 1982—the nation cele- brated 35 years of independence during the brief hiatus between the with- drawal from Sinai and the incursion into Lebanon—the country was deeply divided. Rocked by dissension over issues that in the past were the hallmark of unity, wracked by intensifying ethnic and religious-secular rifts, and through it all bedazzled by a bullish stock market that was at one and the same time fuel for and seeming haven from triple-digit inflation, Israelis found themselves living increasingly in a land of extremes, where the middle ground was often inhospitable when it was not totally inaccessible. Toward the end of the year, Amos Oz, one of Israel's leading novelists, set out on a journey in search of the true Israel and the genuine Israeli point of view. What he heard in his travels, as published in a series of articles in the daily Davar, seemed to confirm what many had sensed: Israel was deeply, perhaps irreconcilably, riven by two political philosophies, two attitudes toward Jewish historical destiny, two visions. "What will become of us all, I do not know," Oz wrote in concluding his article on the develop- ment town of Beit Shemesh in the Judean Hills, where the sons of the "Oriental" immigrants, now grown and prosperous, spewed out their loath- ing for the old Ashkenazi establishment. "If anyone has a solution, let him please step forward and spell it out—and the sooner the better.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles History in the Public Courtroom: Commissions of Inquiry and Struggles over the History and Memory of Israeli Traumas A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In History by Nadav Gadi Molchadsky 2015 © Copyright by Nadav Gadi Molchadsky 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION History in the Public Courtroom: Commissions of Inquiry and Struggles over the History and Memory of Israeli Traumas by Nadav Gadi Molchadsky Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor David N. Myers, Co-Chair Professor Arieh B. Saposnik, Co-Chair This study seeks to shed new light on the complex web of relations among history, historiography and contemporary life. It does so by focusing on Israeli commissions of inquiry that have taken rise in the wake of major national traumas such as failed battles in the 1948 War, the Yom Kippur War, and the assassination of the Zionist leader Chaim Arlosoroff. Each one of these landmark events in the history of Israel was investigated by a state or a military commission of inquiry, whose members and audience operate as authors of history and agents of memory. The study suggests that commissions of inquiry, which have been studied to date primarily as legal, administrative, and political bodies, in fact also operate as a public historian of a unique kind. In this capacity, and unlike a professional historian, commissions are by definition expected not to refrain from making ethical and legal judgments. On the contrary, judgment is, in the final analysis, ii the underpinning motivation for their historical inquiry.

    HARAKEVET הרכבת SEPTEMBER ISSUE:5 DATE 1989. Editorial Address: 9, Primley Gardens, Leeds, LS17 7HT. U.K. tel. 0532 - 693330. Welcome to Issue No. 5. As a result of some publicity the number of requests for information and copies of No. 4 overwhelmed me for a little while - indeed, if anyone somehow missed out on 4, please let me know. The intention is now to go "quarterly" - September, December, March and June. No promises! There is a lot of "good stuff" in this issue. I am pleased to be able to include three articles by Paul Cotterell - one relating Ray Tustin's experiences in the Second World War, one updating his book, a third seeking more information - thus justifying this newsletter's function and existence; Hugh Hughes has sent two offerings from New Zealand - one telling of his own journeyings, the other clarifying some historical background to the abortive Acre-Damascus scheme, following on from my notes and queries in 4:5(a); Uri Ben-Rehav has been researching the narrow-gauge during the First World War, and has come up with some fascinating material on the incredible difficulties faced and (largely) overcome by the engineers of the time. Incidentally, one cannot help thinking, on reading his articles, how history might have changed had the standard-gauge lines through Turkey been opened and available a year or so sooner; the whole balance of power would perhaps have shifted. The activities of T.E.Lawrence are also put in a better perspective. (Incidentally, a Mr. Moore, one of Lawrence's companions in the Hedjaz campaign, died near Leeds in July, just before I could interview him).
