The event was what began as a one-year sabbatical from Rutgers University and ended up as a two-year stay in Israel for me, my wife, and our children. From 1982 to 1984 we lived in Rechovot, a city south of Tel Aviv with a significant population of Americans, in which we were made to feel very welcome and in which we made many dear friends. That stay in Israel sparked my interest in several of the topics and issues covered in this book. Just before I left for Israel, in the spring of 1982, Yehuda Rosen- man, late director of the Jewish Communal Affairs Department of the American Jewish Committee and a dear friend, asked my advice about a research project on the subject of American aliya, immigra- tion to Israel, and the return to the United States of many of those immigrants. Yehuda had a burning love for both the land and people of Israel, Eretz Israel and Am Israel, and he was one of the first American Jewish communal leaders to argue that the American Jew- ish community should support American aliya, that it need not fear that such aliya would deplete its future leadership; on the contrary, he argued, support for American aliya would strengthen American Jewry. At the time and in subsequent letters I told Yehuda what I felt would be necessary for such a project. He encouraged me to keep abreast of the issue of American aliya and also that of the return migration of American olim. Ultimately, Yehuda and Bert Gold, exec- utive vice-president of the American Jewish Committee and director 11 AMERICAN ALIYA of its Institute on American Jewish-Israeli Relations, engaged me in a study of the return migration of American olim, upon which Chap- ter 11 of this book is based. I am deeply grateful to both of them for their personal and institutional support of the subject of American aliya and for their friendship. I will sorely miss Yehuda Rosenman’s wisdom, wit, and warmth; his passing was a great loss for his family, his many friends, and the entire American Jewish community. Another dear friend who, at a later stage, was a source of encour- agement and assistance in completing this book is Moshe Davis, founding director of the Hebrew University’s Institute of Contempo- rary Jewry and director of the America–Holy Land Studies Project. His friendship and support are appreciated. Many people assisted me in my research for this book and I wish to thank all of them. The staff at the research libraries of Rutgers University, Yeshiva University, Hebrew Union College, Jewish Theo- logical Seminary, and the New York Public Library were very helpful. Three librarians in particular deserve special mention for assistance beyond the call of duty: Edith Lubetski, head of the Hedi Steinberg Library of Yeshiva University’s Stern College for Women; Cyma Horowitz, director of the American Jewish Committee’s Blaustein Library; and Shoshana Kaufmann, Associate Director of the Paul Klapper Library of Queens College–CUNY. Also, Shoshana Kauf- mann’s compilation American Immigrants in Israel: A Selected Annotated Bibliography, 1948–85, published by the American Jewish Committee’s Institute on American Jewish-Israeli Relations, was very helpful in tracking down various books and articles on different topics. Several other individuals gave me important technical assistance and deserve special mention. Irving (Isser) Green, president of Skan Teknologies, Inc., is much more than a friend. All else aside, the tech- nical assistance he and his staff so graciously provided is deeply appreciated. Benjamin Sporn, attorney, and Anne D. Wade, market analyst, both of AT&T, graciously provided me with relevant tele- phone data. Rabbis Herschel Billet and Jay Goldberg, rabbis of the Young Israel of Woodmere and Young Israel of Wavecrest and Bay- swater respectively, helped me track down several items from responsa literature. Bernice M. Salzman, editor of The Bridge, the newsletter of Parents of North American Israelis (PNAI), graciously loaned me all of the back issues of that publication. Ephraim Tabory, senior lecturer in Sociology at Bar Ilan University, kindly allowed me to refer to his as yet unpublished research on PNAI. My good friend and Bitnet correspondent in Rechovot, Ellen Wachtel, was always 12 Preface there to help track down information not readily available outside of Israel. Throughout the writing of this book Gershon, Suri, and Yaacov Blank, who are also much more than friends, provided me with a variety of technical assistance, all of which is deeply appreciated. And to Natalie, Naomi, Shirley, Myrna, Rita, and George, many thanks for everything.

  • Camp David's Shadow
    Camp David’s Shadow: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinian Question, 1977-1993 Seth Anziska Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Seth Anziska All rights reserved ABSTRACT Camp David’s Shadow: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinian Question, 1977-1993 Seth Anziska This dissertation examines the emergence of the 1978 Camp David Accords and the consequences for Israel, the Palestinians, and the wider Middle East. Utilizing archival sources and oral history interviews from across Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, the United States, and the United Kingdom, Camp David’s Shadow recasts the early history of the peace process. It explains how a comprehensive settlement to the Arab-Israeli conflict with provisions for a resolution of the Palestinian question gave way to the facilitation of bilateral peace between Egypt and Israel. As recently declassified sources reveal, the completion of the Camp David Accords—via intensive American efforts— actually enabled Israeli expansion across the Green Line, undermining the possibility of Palestinian sovereignty in the occupied territories. By examining how both the concept and diplomatic practice of autonomy were utilized to address the Palestinian question, and the implications of the subsequent Israeli and U.S. military intervention in Lebanon, the dissertation explains how and why the Camp David process and its aftermath adversely shaped the prospects of a negotiated settlement between Israelis and Palestinians in the 1990s. In linking the developments of the late 1970s and 1980s with the Madrid Conference and Oslo Accords in the decade that followed, the dissertation charts the role played by American, Middle Eastern, international, and domestic actors in curtailing the possibility of Palestinian self-determination.
