  • The Signatories of the Israel Declaration of Independence
    Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs The Signatories of the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel The British Mandate over Palestine was due to end on May 15, 1948, some six months after the United Nations had voted to partition Palestine into two states: one for the Jews, the other for the Arabs. While the Jews celebrated the United Nations resolution, feeling that a truncated state was better than none, the Arab countries rejected the plan, and irregular attacks of local Arabs on the Jewish population of the country began immediately after the resolution. In the United Nations, the US and other countries tried to prevent or postpone the establishment of a state, suggesting trusteeship, among other proposals. But by the time the British Mandate was due to end, the United Nations had not yet approved any alternate plan; officially, the partition plan was still "on the books." A dilemma faced the leaders of the yishuv, the Jewish community in Palestine. Should they declare the country's independence upon the withdrawal of the British mandatory administration, despite the threat of an impending attack by Arab states? Or should they wait, perhaps only a month or two, until conditions were more favorable? Under the leadership of David Ben-Gurion, who was to become the first Prime Minister of Israel, theVa'ad Leumi - the representative body of the yishuv under the British mandate - decided to seize the opportunity. At 4:00 PM on Friday, May 14, the national council, which had directed the Jewish community's affairs under the British Mandate, met in the Tel Aviv Museum on Rothschild Boulevard in Tel Aviv.

    1948 Arab–Israeli War 1 1948 Arab–Israeli War מלחמת or מלחמת העצמאות :The 1948 Arab–Israeli War, known to Israelis as the War of Independence (Hebrew ,מלחמת השחרור :, Milkhemet Ha'atzma'ut or Milkhemet HA'sikhror) or War of Liberation (Hebrewהשחרור Milkhemet Hashikhrur) – was the first in a series of wars fought between the State of Israel and its Arab neighbours in the continuing Arab-Israeli conflict. The war commenced upon the termination of the British Mandate of Palestine and the Israeli declaration of independence on 15 May 1948, following a period of civil war in 1947–1948. The fighting took place mostly on the former territory of the British Mandate and for a short time also in the Sinai Peninsula and southern Lebanon.[1] ., al-Nakba) occurred amidst this warﺍﻟﻨﻜﺒﺔ :Much of what Arabs refer to as The Catastrophe (Arabic The war concluded with the 1949 Armistice Agreements. Background Following World War II, on May 14, 1948, the British Mandate of Palestine came to an end. The surrounding Arab nations were also emerging from colonial rule. Transjordan, under the Hashemite ruler Abdullah I, gained independence from Britain in 1946 and was called Jordan, but it remained under heavy British influence. Egypt, while nominally independent, signed the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty of 1936 that included provisions by which Britain would maintain a garrison of troops on the Suez Canal. From 1945 on, Egypt attempted to renegotiate the terms of this treaty, which was viewed as a humiliating vestige of colonialism. Lebanon became an independent state in 1943, but French troops would not withdraw until 1946, the same year that Syria won its independence from France.

  • How Israeli Jewish Dissidents Attempt to Use Alternative National Identity Discourses to Connect with Their
    No Way Out: How Israeli Jewish dissidents attempt to use alternative national identity discourses to connect with their Palestinian Other Katie Attwell, B.A. (Hons) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University, 2012 1 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. .................................... Kathryn Louise Attwell 2 Abstract This thesis explores the national identity dilemma arising within ethnocratic states when individuals belonging to the ‘privileged majority’ seek to rectify the privations of their ethnic Other. Ethnocratic states have been set up by activists seeking to protect those they see as belonging to the ethnic nation with which they identify. In the process, the activists marginalise those depicted as Others within the state’s borders, institutionalising a demonising discourse which justifies those Others’ lack of privilege. Dissidents from the privileged majority may seek to remodel the ethnocratic state or challenge its dominant discourse without necessarily opposing the underpinning view of the nation therein, generating dilemmas about how justice for the Other ought to look and how the Us might be reconstituted to attain it. A study of the narratives of dissident Israeli Jews employs the theoretical concepts of ethnocracy and ressentiment to understand these dilemmas. Existing literature on ethnocratic states is riddled with ‘groupism’ – the tendency to treat ethnic groups or nations as objectively real entities. This thesis emphasises the processes of reification occurring when nationalist activists institutionalise their particular discourse.

  • Egypt's Union with Syria, Its Impact and the June 1967
    Egypt’s Union with Syria, its Impact and the June 1967 War S. Qalb-i-Abid / Massarrat Abid Introduction Four hundred and sixty five million people of the Middle East are almost of the same composition. They share a common language, culture and religion and believe in the concept of the Arab Nationalism - Umma al Arabiya. The Arabic language is a potent unifying bondage. Although spoken Arabic changes widely from area to area, the literary language is more or less the same throughout the Arab world; and all those who speak Arabic are regarded as a part of the Arab Nation. This sacred language of Islam and Quran is the common bondage among the Arabs. The Arab Middle East also comprises the Holy Places for the three major religions of the world - Islam, Christianity and Judaism and remains the place of origin of their faith. Religion has thus always played a major role in political, economic, and social aspects of life for very many years; and in all likelihood, it will also continue to be a significant factor in future politics of this region. Middle East therefore is rightly described as the cradle of Islam. The importance of Middle East in world affairs has been emphasized by the fact that two world wars have had their Middle Eastern commands; and events there, though not principal, weighed heavily on the final results of these gigantic international conflicts. Egypt’s Union with Syria 165 The Middle Eastern politics has therefore always been very important for the World. Politics, transportation, communications, markets, military strategy, imperialism, nationalism, culture, religion and natural resources of this area had always great attraction1 for the “Big Powers” as well as small countries.

    Nekrologer LENI YAHIL 1912 – 2007 Professor Leni Yahil døde den 26. december 2007 i sit 95. år. Hun hørte til de førende Holocaust-forskere i Israel og internationalt og var i Dan- mark især kendt for sin bog om de danske jøder under besættelsen, der udkom i 1966. Trods de mange år på bagen og den megen forskning sidenhen gælder bogen fortsat som standardværk. Leni Yahil havde et stort hjerte for Danmark. Hun vendte i sit lange historikerliv og i sine mange studier og artikler ofte tilbage til temaet om redningen af de danske jøder som et lys i Holocausts mørke, og hun kom altid gerne til København, når hun blev inviteret til foredrag og seminarer. Leni Yahil var selv en levende del af den historie hun viede sit forskerliv til. Hun var født i Tyskland i 1912 i Potsdam, hvor faren var dommer, indtil nazisterne afskedigede ham i 1933. Forældrene var assimilerede jøder, men deres yngste datter brød med familietraditionen og tilsluttede sig det zionistiske ungdomsforbund – for så i 1934 at emigrere til Palæstina. Her engagerede hun sig i kibbutz-bevægelsen og meldte sig til arbejderpartiet (Mapai), hvor hun fik ledende poster, bl.a. som sekretær for den beundrede Ben Gurion. I 1942 giftede hun sig med en partikammerat, Chaim Yahil (1905-76). Han forestod fra 1945 flygtningearbejdet blandt de overlevende jøder i lejrene i Tyskland, og indtrykkene herfra blev bestemmende for Leni Yahils fremtidige skæbne som holocaust-historiker. Leni Yahil havde i 1940 afsluttet sine studier i historie og litteratur med en magistergrad og arbejdede 1954-56 som videnskabelig assistent hos professor Benzion Dinar, den førende forsker i jødisk historie ved det hebræiske universitet i Jerusalem.
