The volume includes reports that were discussed at the Subcommittee for Control of the Zionist General Council Standing Committee for Budget and Finance. According to the Statutes of the Comptroller and the Control Office (18b), the Chairman of the Zionist Executive should prepare a response to the individual reports submitted by the Comptroller. Such a response has not been received for each of the individual reports included in this volume. The Comptroller's recommendations should be thoroughly reviewed by the controlled bodies and implemented thereafter in order to improve ways of management, use of human resources, and funds allocated to them. I would like to thank the Chairperson of the Control Subcommittee and the members of the Subcommittee for their assistance in pursuing the implementation of my recommendations, as well as the Controlled bodies for their cooperation. Thanks go also to my staff for their thorough work. Asaf Sela Comptroller Jerusalem, October 2015 2 Message of the Chairperson of the Subcommittee for Control The World Zionist Organization Standing Committee for Budget and Finance 1. The Comptroller of the National Institutions examines the activities of the World Zionist Organization. Since the 36th Zionist Congress and following the election of the present Chairman of the World Zionist Organization, the Comptroller and his staff have been working to provide the members of the Subcommittee for Control and the World Zionist Organization with reports that include findings and recommendations for discussion and conclusion with the reviewed entities. 2. The Subcommittee for Control regards the work of the Comptroller and his staff as an important auxiliary tool for proper management of the various institutions and organizations and emphasizes this stand in its meetings. Also, the Subcommittee, together with the Comptroller and in coordination with the reviewed bodies, follows up on the implementation of the recommendations specified in the Comptroller's reports. 3. In view of the last two years' experience, I recommended to the Chairman of the World Zionist Organization that it is appropriate to grant an independent status to the Subcommittee for Control of the Standing Committee for Budget and Finance. I was informed that a resolution on the matter was approved at the XXXVI/5 Zionist General Council, in February 2015. This decision constitutes recognition of the importance of the work of the Comptroller and its stature in facilitating proper management of the reviewed entities. 4. The Subcommittee expresses its appreciation of the thorough on going work of the Comptroller and his staff in conducting the examinations and preparing the reports, while constantly aspiring to improve the activities of the World Zionist Organization. 5. I thank the members of the Subcommittee for Control for their cooperation. Upon completion of our term, I would like to thank all those involved in this important endeavor and wish success to those who will follow us and serve on the independent Control Committee.

Many of the sources posed problems concerning numerical data on immi­ gration, especially for the months leading up to the end of the British Mandate, January-April 1948, and the first few months of the state, May­ August 1948. The researchers point out that 7,574 immigrant data cards are missing from the records and believe this to be due to the 'circumstances of the times'. Records are complete from September 1948 onward, and an important population census was held in November 1948. A parallel record­ ing system conducted by the Jewish Agency, which continued to operate after that of the Mandatory Government, provided us with statistical data for immigration during 1948-9 and made it possible to analyse the part taken by the Holocaust survivors.

  • Exporting Zionism
    Exporting Zionism: Architectural Modernism in Israeli-African Technical Cooperation, 1958-1973 Ayala Levin Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Ayala Levin All rights reserved ABSTRACT Exporting Zionism: Architectural Modernism in Israeli-African Technical Cooperation, 1958-1973 Ayala Levin This dissertation explores Israeli architectural and construction aid in the 1960s – “the African decade” – when the majority of sub-Saharan African states gained independence from colonial rule. In the Cold War competition over development, Israel distinguished its aid by alleging a postcolonial status, similar geography, and a shared history of racial oppression to alleviate fears of neocolonial infiltration. I critically examine how Israel presented itself as a model for rapid development more applicable to African states than the West, and how the architects negotiated their professional practice in relation to the Israeli Foreign Ministry agendas, the African commissioners' expectations, and the international disciplinary discourse on modern architecture. I argue that while architectural modernism was promoted in the West as the International Style, Israeli architects translated it to the African context by imbuing it with nation-building qualities such as national cohesion, labor mobilization, skill acquisition and population dispersal. Based on their labor-Zionism settler-colonial experience,

  • Collective Defense by Common Property Regimes: the Rise and Fall of the Kibbutz∗
    Collective Defense by Common Property Regimes: the Rise and Fall of the Kibbutz∗ Liang Diaoy April 2019 Abstract Common property regimes have long been considered inefficient and short lived, as they en- courage high-productivity individuals to leave and shirking among those who stay. In contrast, kibbutzim { voluntary common property settlements in Israel { have lasted almost for a century. Recently, about 75% of kibbutzim abandoned the equal-sharing rule and paid differential salaries to members, based on their contributions. To explain the long persistence of the kibbutzim, as well as the recent kibbutz privatization, I develop a model that highlights the public defense provided by common property regimes. The model predicts that the privatization of common property regimes can be attributed to the decrease of external threats. To test this prediction, I construct a kibbutzim-level panel data set that contains the terrorist attacks near each kibbutz and the institutional status (i.e. preserving the equal-sharing rule or not) of each kibbutz in the years from 1986 to 2014. The empirical results show that an increase in the number of Israeli deaths near a kibbutz significantly decreases the probability that the kibbutz shift away from equal sharing. 1 Introduction Common property regimes, a property rights arrangement in which a group of resource users share rewards and duties related to a resource, have long been considered inefficient.1 The inefficiency comes from two sources: low-productivity individuals tend to remain in the regime, while high- productivity individuals tend to leave (adverse selection); and equal income sharing, regardless of effort, encourages shirking (moral hazard).

  • The Einat Wilf Reader
    WINNING THE WAR OF WORDS ESSAYS ON ZIONISM AND ISRAEL Einat Wilf Edited by Daniel Rubenstein Copyright © 2015 Einat Wilf All rights reserved. 1 “Years ago, when I suggested to the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that Israel was facing a war based on words, ideas and images, and that it was a strategic threat, the veteran defense officials serving on the committee sent patronizing, avuncular glances my way. To those who have earned their stripes on the battlefield and in the war on terror, the notion that Israel could be threatened by words was ludicrous, and worse, feminine.” Israel Hayom June 19, 2015 “This attack on the ideas that underpin Israel – the attack on its very legitimacy as a state – is taking place in a variety of forums, from international forums such as the UN and its various bodies, to courts, to academia, to the media, the NGO world and social networks. And so, with the failure of physical attacks, an intellectual attack is being mounted. While this attack does not appear at first to be dangerous and lethal as the others, it is no less threatening as it is targeting the very thing that makes Israel strong – its unique foundational idea… While victory in this battle, as in others, is not likely to be swift, with the proper resources, organization, and determination it is within reach. After all, if there is any battle that the Jewish people should be able to win, it is the battle of words.” Presentation to International Consultation of Jewish Parliamentarians June 2011 2 ABOUT THE AUTHOR DR.

  • Made in Israel: Agricultural Exports from Occupied Territories
    Agricultural Made in Exports from Israel Occupied Territories April 2014 Agricultural Made in Exports from Israel Occupied Territories April 2014 The Coalition of Women for Peace was established by bringing together ten feminist peace organizations and non-affiliated activist women in Israel. Founded soon after the outbreak of the Second Intifada in 2000, CWP today is a leading voice against the occupation, committed to feminist principles of organization and Jewish-Palestinian partnership, in a relentless struggle for a just society. CWP continuously voices a critical position against militarism and advocates for radical social and political change. Its work includes direct action and public campaigning in Israel and internationally, a pioneering investigative project exposing the occupation industry, outreach to Israeli audiences and political empowerment of women across communities and capacity-building and support for grassroots activists and initiatives for peace and justice. www.coalitionofwomen.org | [email protected] Who Profits from the Occupation is a research center dedicated to exposing the commercial involvement of Israeli and international companies in the continued Israeli control over Palestinian and Syrian land. Currently, we focus on three main areas of corporate involvement in the occupation: the settlement industry, economic exploitation and control over population. Who Profits operates an online database which includes information concerning companies that are commercially complicit in the occupation. Moreover, the center publishes in-depth reports and flash reports about industries, projects and specific companies. Who Profits also serves as an information center for queries regarding corporate involvement in the occupation – from individuals and civil society organizations working to end the Israeli occupation and to promote international law, corporate social responsibility, social justice and labor rights.
