  • The Origins of Hamas: Militant Legacy Or Israeli Tool?
    THE ORIGINS OF HAMAS: MILITANT LEGACY OR ISRAELI TOOL? JEAN-PIERRE FILIU Since its creation in 1987, Hamas has been at the forefront of armed resistance in the occupied Palestinian territories. While the move- ment itself claims an unbroken militancy in Palestine dating back to 1935, others credit post-1967 maneuvers of Israeli Intelligence for its establishment. This article, in assessing these opposing nar- ratives and offering its own interpretation, delves into the historical foundations of Hamas starting with the establishment in 1946 of the Gaza branch of the Muslim Brotherhood (the mother organization) and ending with its emergence as a distinct entity at the outbreak of the !rst intifada. Particular emphasis is given to the Brotherhood’s pre-1987 record of militancy in the Strip, and on the complicated and intertwining relationship between the Brotherhood and Fatah. HAMAS,1 FOUNDED IN the Gaza Strip in December 1987, has been the sub- ject of numerous studies, articles, and analyses,2 particularly since its victory in the Palestinian legislative elections of January 2006 and its takeover of Gaza in June 2007. Yet despite this, little academic atten- tion has been paid to the historical foundations of the movement, which grew out of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Gaza branch established in 1946. Meanwhile, two contradictory interpretations of the movement’s origins are in wide circulation. The !rst portrays Hamas as heir to a militant lineage, rigorously inde- pendent of all Arab regimes, including Egypt, and harking back to ‘Izz al-Din al-Qassam,3 a Syrian cleric killed in 1935 while !ghting the British in Palestine.

  • Moshe Dayan: Iconic Military Leader Moshe Dayan, with His Iconic Eye Patch, Became the Face of Israel’S Astonishing Six Day War
    Educator’s Guide Moshe Dayan: Iconic Military Leader Moshe Dayan, with his iconic eye patch, became the face of Israel’s astonishing Six Day War. After leading Israel to victory in the 1956 Sinai Campaign, Dayan was appointed defense minister in 1967, ahead of the Six Day War, in order to assuage the public’s growing fear of annihilation. But what was Dayan’s role in the war itself? Why is he credited as the hero of the war, when Levi Eshkol was prime minister and Yitzhak Rabin was IDF chief-of-staff? What was his background and did his questionable private life dampen or heighten his heroic image? Video: https://unpacked.education/video/moshe-dayan-iconic-military-leader/ ​ Further Reading 1.

  • President Shimon Peres President Shimon Peres
    President Shimon Peres President Shimon Peres President Shimon Peres, born in Poland in 1923, immigrated to pre-State Israel in 1934. He studied in the "Geula" school in Tel Aviv and then in the Ben Shemen Agricultural School. In 1940, he was among the founders of Kibbutz Alumot, and was elected secretary of the Oved Lomed Youth Movement. In 1947, Peres began to work together with David Ben Gurion and Levi Eshkol in the Hagana Command, and continued to work with them after the founding of the State of Israel. In 1949, Peres was appointed the head of a Defense Ministry delegation to the United States for the purchase of military equipment for the new state. In 1950, he was appointed the temporary head of the IDF Naval forces. In 1952, Peres was appointed deputy director general of the Defense Ministry, and one year later, he became the director general. In 1955, after Egyptian President Nasser signed an arms deal with Czechoslovakia, Peres helped to develop close diplomatic ties with France which also viewed Nasser as an enemy. In 1959, Peres was responsible for the establishment of the nuclear reactor in Dimona. He also was instrumental in the development of the Israeli arms industries and Israeli Aircraft Industries. Peres began his political career in 1959 when he was elected to the Fourth Knesset on the Mapai list. He was appointed Deputy Minister of Defense and held that position until 1965. That year, he split off from Mapai with Ben-Gurion, Moshe Dayan, and other MKs and established the Rafi party.

The Oc- casional Papers are intended to reach the policy-community and the broader public with short analyses of contemporary trends and issues in international security and in Canadian foreign and defence policy. Since the Oslo Accords of 1993, the issue of expanding Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank has come increasingly to dominate the tortuous process of negotiating a fair and stable peace between Israel and its Arab neighbours. In this paper Colonel Tony Sarver, US Army Visiting Defence Fellow at the QCIR (2008-9), describes the evolution of the settlements question and its impact on the Palestinian population in the West Bank, on the daily lives of Israelis and Palestinians, on Israeli politics, on the Arab-Israeli peace-process, and on relations between the United States and the Arab and Muslim worlds.
