Episodic Behavior of the Jordan Valley Section of the Dead Sea
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, Vol. 101, No. 1, pp. 39–67, February 2011, doi: 10.1785/0120100097 Episodic Behavior of the Jordan Valley Section of the Dead Sea Fault Inferred from a 14-ka-Long Integrated Catalog of Large Earthquakes by Matthieu Ferry,* Mustapha Meghraoui, Najib Abou Karaki, Masdouq Al-Taj, and Lutfi Khalil Abstract The continuous record of large surface-rupturing earthquakes along the Dead Sea fault brings unprecedented insights for paleoseismic and archaeoseismic research. In most recent studies, paleoseismic trenching documents the late Holocene faulting activity, while tectonic geomorphology addresses the long-term behavior (>10 ka), with a tendency to smooth the effect of individual earthquake rupture M >7 events ( w ). Here, we combine historical, archaeological, and paleoseismic investigations to build a consolidated catalog of destructive surface-rupturing earth- quakes for the last 14 ka along the left-lateral Jordan Valley fault segment. The 120- km-long fault segment limited to the north and the south by major pull-apart basins (the Hula and the Dead Sea, respectively) is mapped in detail and shows five subseg- ments with narrow stepovers (width < 3 km). We conducted quantitative geomor- phology along the fault, measured more than 20 offset drainages, excavated four trenches at two sites, and investigated archaeological sites with seismic damage in the Jordan Valley. Our results in paleoseismic trenching with 28 radiocarbon datings and the archaeoseismology at Tell Saydiyeh, supplemented with a rich historical seis- mic record, document 12 surface-rupturing events along the fault segment with a mean interval of ∼1160 yr and an average 5 mm=yr slip rate for the last 25 ka. -

We strive to transform this vision into reality by enhancing youth capacities in networking, grassroots activism, critical thinking, community organizing, and advocacy. By enhancing these skills and offering frameworks for engagement, Baladna aims to strengthen Arab Palestinian youth’s understanding and application of principles of democracy, gender equality, and human rights, and to enable them to advance these values in their society. Baladna’s many youth-led grassroots initiatives are driven by an overarching purpose: to empower Arab Palestinian youth with the skills and tools needed in order for them to effectively address their daily needs and to transform decades of inequality into a future in which their rights and entitlements are fulfilled. 2018-2019 at a Glance 5 2018-2019 at a Glance 6Baladna2018-2019 has been at morea Glance active than ever over the last two years, empowering thousands through our work with Palestinian Arab youth, as well as through our partnerships in the West Bank and East Jerusalem and our participation in trainings and exchanges in Europe. -
Palestinian Internally Displaced Persons Inside Israel: Challenging the Solid Structures
Palestinian Internally Displaced Persons inside Israel: Challenging the Solid Structures Nihad Bokae’e February 2003 Badil Resource Center for Palestinian Residency and Refugee Rights PO Box 728 Bethlehem, Palestine [email protected] www.badil.org Socio-historical Overview Internally displaced Palestinians inside Israel are part of the larger Palestinian refugee population that was displaced/expelled from their villages and homes during the 1948 conflict and war in Palestine (i.e., al-Nakba). Most of the refugees were displaced to the Arab states and the Palestinian territories that did not fall under Israeli control (i.e., the West Bank and Gaza Strip). At the end of the war, some 150,000 Palestinians remained in the areas of Palestine that became the state of Israel. This included approximately 30- 40,000 Palestinians who were also displaced during the war. Like the approximately 800,000 Palestinian refugees who were displaced/expelled beyond the borders of the new state, Israel refused to allow internally displaced Palestinians (IDPs) to return to their homes and villages. Displacement did not end with the 1948 war. In the years following the establishment of Israel, internally displaced Palestinians, a small number of refugees who had returned spontaneously to their villages, and Palestinians who had not been displaced during the war were expelled for security and other reasons. Israeli officials also carried out forced transfer of Palestinians from one village to another within the borders of the state in order to facilitate colonization of these areas. This included, for example, Palestinians from the villages of Iqrit, Bir’am, al-Ghabsiyya, Krad al-Baqqarah and Krad al- Ghannamah. -

AND TO THE ARABIC AND ENGLISH NAME LISTS. COMPILED BY HENRY C. STEWARDSON. 1888 Electronic Edition by Todd Bolen BiblePlaces.com 2005 PREFACE. ITTLE explanation is required of the arrangement followed in this Volume, beyond calling L attention to the division of this Volume into two parts: the first forms a combined Index to the three Volumes of the Memoirs, the Special Papers, the Jerusalem Volume, the Flora and Fauna of Palestine, and the Geological Survey; and the second is an Index to the Arabic and English Name Lists. This division was considered advisable in order to avoid the continual use of reference letters to the Name Lists, which would otherwise have been required. The large number of entries rendered it absolutely necessary to make them as brief as possible; but it is hoped that it will be found that perspicuity has not been sacrificed to brevity. A full explanation of the reference letters used will be found on the first page. The short Hebrew Index at the end of the Volume has been kindly furnished by Dr. W. Aldis Wright. H. C. S. PREFACE TO ELECTRONIC EDITION. ore than a hundred years after the publication of the Survey of Western Palestine, its M continued value is well-known and is evidenced by the recent reprint and librarians’ propensity to store the work in restricted areas of the library. -

Ethnic Conflict and Job Separations*
Ethnic Conflict and Job Separations∗ Sami Miaari Asaf Zussman† Noam Zussman Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics Hebrew University Bank of Israel October 27, 2009 Abstract We study the effect of the second Intifada, a violent conflict between Israel and its Palestinian neighbors which erupted in September 2000, and the ensuing riots of Arab citizens of Israel, on labor market outcomes of Arabs relative to those of Jewish Israelis. The analysis relies on a large matched employer-employee dataset, focusing on firms that in the pre-Intifada period hired both Arabs and Jews. Our analysis demonstrates that until September 2000 Arab workers had a lower rate of job separation than their Jewish peers and that this differential was significantly reduced after the outbreak of the Intifada. We argue that the most likely explanation for this pattern is increased anti-Arab discrimination among Jews. JEL classification codes: H56, J15, J63, J71 Keywords: Ethnic Conflict, Job Separation, Israel, Arabs, Intifada ∗We are indebted to John Abowd, David Genesove, Luigi Guiso, Victor Lavy, Ramon Marimon, Daniele Paserman, Robert Sauer, Eytan Sheshinski, Françoise Vermeylen, Amos Zehavi and participants of presentations at the Bank of Israel, Ben Gurion University, the European Economic Association Meeting 2009, the European University Institute, the Israeli Economic Association Meeting 2008, the Israeli National Economic Council, Haifa University, Hebrew University (economics department and law school), the London School of Economics, and Tel Aviv University for useful advice.
