  • EU Funding for Mekorot: Aiding and Abetting the Israeli Settlement Project
    Briefing produced by: PENGON/FOEI Palestine member Stop the Wall Campaign EU Funding for Mekorot: Aiding and abetting the Israeli settlement project Summary Mekorot is the Israeli state water company. It has monopoly control over all water sources in the occupied Palestinian territory and diverts most of the water to illegal Israeli settlements, leaving Palestinians with chronic water shortages. UN reports have criticised Mekorot’s role in Israeli violations of international law, in particular its deep and clear participation in Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory and illegal Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian land. Mekorot since the 1950s is running Israel’s national water carrier and is responsible over a single integrated water management system that includes as core areas of water supply the illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank and the occupied Syrian Golan Heights. This implies that any of Mekorot’s operations affects the entire system and makes ‘differentiation’ as mandated by EU policies and international law impossible. Despite this, Mekorot continues to participate in EU funding projects. This completely ignores and runs counter to the repeated calls of the European Parliament, MEPs and civil society for the EU Commission to ensure that “no settlement-related activity can benefit from any EU cooperation ​ programme such as Horizon 2020”1. ​ The technology developed and made available with EU funding risks being applied by Mekorot to maintain the large part of its operations that are illegal activities in Israel’s settlement enterprise. This shows the failure of the application of the 2013 guidelines in effectively achieving Israeli accountability for its violations of international law and human rights and with this the failure of the EU to comply with its obligations under international law.

  • Why Boycott Mekorot?
    Why boycott Mekorot? stopmekorot.org/6-reasons-to-boycott-mekorot/ 1. Mekorot operates a system of water apartheid: Mekorot has been responsible for water rights violations and discrimination since the 1950s when it built Israel’s national water carrier, which is diverting the Jordan River from the West Bank and Jordan to serve Israeli communities. At the same time it deprives the Palestinian communities from the possibility of access to water: Palestinian consumption in the OPT is about 70 litres a day per person – well below the 100 litres per capita daily recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) – whereas Israeli daily per capita consumption, at about 300 litres, is about four times as much. Mekorot has refused to supply water to Palestinian communities inside Israel, despite an Israeli high court ruling recognising their right to water. A French parliamentary report called these policies water apartheid. 1/6 2. Mekorot’s vital support for the illegal settlement enterprise: Mekorot support for colonial settlement has continued since the 1967 occupation of the West Bank, Gaza and the Golan Heights. The company took monopoly control over all water sources in the occupied territories, implementing policies that bolster Israeli settlements at the expense of Palestinian communities. The United Nations report of the independent international fact-finding mission on the implications of the Israeli settlements on the rights of the Palestinian people as well as the latest report on the settlements by the Secretary- General of the UN denounce Mekorot’s role in the settlement enterprise. All cooperation with Mekorot inherently benefits from or contributes to the illegal settlement enterprise.

  • Shadows Over the Land Without Shade: Iconizing the Israeli Kibbutz in the 1950S, Acting-Out Post Palestinian-Nakba Cultural Trauma
    Volume One, Number One Shadows over the Land Without Shade: Iconizing the Israeli Kibbutz in the 1950s, acting-out post Palestinian-Nakba Cultural Trauma Lior Libman Abstract: The kibbutz – one of Zionism's most vital forces of nation-building and Socialist enterprise – faced a severe crisis with the foundation of the State of Israel as State sovereignty brought about major structural, political and social changes. However, the roots of this crisis, which I will describe as a cultural trauma, are more complex. They go back to the pioneers' understanding of their historical action, which emanated arguably from secularized and nationalized Hasidic theology, and viewed itself in terms of the meta-historical Zionist-Socialist narrative. This perception was no longer conceivable during the 1948 war and thereafter. The participation in a war that involved expulsion and killing of civilians, the construction of new kibbutzim inside emptied Palestinian villages and confiscation by old and new kibbutzim of Palestinian fields, all caused a fatal rift in the mind of those who saw themselves as fulfilling a universal humanistic Socialist model; their response was total shock. This can be seen in images of and from the kibbutz in this period: in front of a dynamic and troublesome reality, the Realism of kibbutz-literature kept creating pastoral-utopian, heroic-pioneering images. The novel Land Without Shade (1950) is one such example. Written by the couple Yonat and Alexander Sened, it tells the story of the establishment of Kibbutz Revivim in the Negev desert in the 1940s. By a symptomatic reading of the book’s representation of the kibbutz, especially in relation to its native Bedouin neighbors and the course of the war, I argue that the iconization of the kibbutz in the 1950s is in fact an acting-out of the cultural trauma of the kibbutz, the victimizer, who became a victim of the crash of its own self-defined identity.

  • Religious and Social Meanings of the Holy Land Ways of Knowing 2312
    Religious and Social Meanings of the Holy Land Ways of Knowing 2312 Chancey and Lander JTerm 2017 [email protected] and [email protected] Jan. 6-18, 2017 Course Description The current state of Israel comprises regions that the three Abrahamic religions have regarded as holy for centuries. Although the concept of a “Holy Land” permeates ancient Jewish writings, it was early Christian pilgrims who first employed the biblical term “Holy Land” to describe the territory of the Bible. In the seventh century, Islam also forged a connection to this area, more specifically Jerusalem, regarding it as the site of the prophet Muhammed’s night-time journey (‘Isra) to heaven. Through archaeological and site fieldtrips, readings, and lectures by experts in the field, students will investigate the diverse meanings of the Holy Land to the adherents of the various traditions who have regarded the region as religiously significant for more than three millennia. Students will learn how the two disciplines of archaeology and religious studies combine to inform a deeper understanding of the Holy Land than a single disciplinary study. Students will also explore the complexity of daily life in the modern state of Israel. Student Learning Outcomes Ways of Knowing 1. Students will demonstrate knowledge of more than one disciplinary practice. 2. Students will explain how bringing more than one practice to an examination of the course topic contributes to knowing about that topic. Philosophical/Religious/Ethical Inquiry, level I 1. Students will be able to describe and explain some of the general features and principal theoretical methods of one of the fields of philosophy, religious studies, or ethics.
