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.

  • 2007 Israeli Democracy Index Is Dedicated to Captain Zur Zarhi from Nahalal, a Beloved Friend Who Went to War and Did Not Come Back
    Auditing Israeli Democracy – 2007 Cohesion in a Divided Society Asher Arian, Nir Atmor, Yael Hadar The Israel Democracy Institute is an independent, non-partisan body on the seam of academia and politics. The Institute proposes policy recommendations and reforms for government and public administration agencies. In its plans and endeavors, the Institute strives to support the institutions of Israel’s developing democracy and consolidate its values. The Institute’s research is followed up by practical recommendations, seeking to improve governance in Israel and foster a long-term vision for a stable democratic regime adapted to the structure, the values, and the norms of Israeli society. The Institute aspires to further public discourse in Israel on the issues placed on the national agenda, to promote structural, political, and economic reforms, to serve as a consulting body to decision-makers and the broad public, to provide information, and present comparative research. Researchers at the Israel Democracy Institute are leading academics directing projects in various areas of society and governance in Israel. The IDI Press produces, markets, and distributes the results of their work in several series of books (“The Democracy Library”), policy papers, the Caesarea Forum Series, periodicals, and conference proceedings. The Guttman Center was established in its present form in 1998, when the Guttman Institute for Applied Social Research became part of the Israel Democracy Institute. Professor Louis Guttman founded the original Institute in 1949 as a pioneering center for the study of public opinion and the advancement of social science methodology. The goal of the Guttman Center is to enrich public discourse on issues of public policy through the information retrieved from the Center’s databases and through public opinion surveys conducted by the Center.

  • Alliance in Crisis
    ALLIANCE IN CRISIS: Israel’s Standing in the World and the Question of Isolation Research and Writing Assaf Sharon Shivi Greenfield Mikhael Manekin Oded Naaman Jesse Rothman Dahlia Shaham Design: Yosef Bercovich Design: Yosef Alliance in Crisis _ 2 Executive Summary Israel's international standing has been the focus of attention for many years. Is Israel moving towards international isolation? Can one quantify the effects of the widely discussed boycotts on Israel's economy? What can be done to put an end to Israel's rapidly deteriorating relations with the US and Europe? These are questions that rightly occupy the thoughts of many Israelis as well as the country's leadership. Yet despite the issues’ importance, the conversation on Israel's foreign relations lacks depth and is often based on slogans rather than empirical data. The discussion oscillates between apocalyptic warnings on the one hand, and dangerous complacency on the other. This report analyzes Israel's international relations with the goal of arriving at a clear understanding of Israel's current status in the world, and aims to identify the specific threats and opportunities it faces. It focuses on the three arenas of diplomacy, economics, and culture. The principle findings are as follows: Israel's international standing is an unprecedented success story. Since Israel's establishment, every head of state has understood the importance of ties with the US and Europe, especially given Israel's regional political isolation. The world has shown that it is interested in close ties with Israel. Israel’s central role in the international community in a variety of fields – from science and culture to security and diplomacy – is a remarkable accomplishment.

  • IAF Attacks Mortar Cell Near Gaza Security Fence | Jerusalem Post Page 1 of 3
    IAF attacks mortar cell near Gaza security fence | Jerusalem Post Page 1 of 3 IAF attacks mortar cell near Gaza security fence EHUD ZION WALDOKS and jpost.com staff , THE JERUSALEM POST Oct. 8, 2007 IAF aircraft attacked overnight Sunday a Palestinian terror cell whose members were firing mortar shells over the Gaza security fence into the western Negev. All six mortars landed in open territory, and no wounded or damage were reported. According to Palestinian sources, seven unarmed Palestinians were wounded in the strike. Elsewhere, an IDF officer was lightly wounded by gunfire during an arrest operation in the Balata refugee camp near Nablus. He was evacuated to a hospital for treatment. A total of 10 Palestinian terror suspects were arrested throughout the West Bank overnight Sunday. The strike came after a long-range Grad-type Katyusha rocket landed near Netivot in the Negev Sunday morning, about 11 kilometers from the Gaza Strip. It was the first time a rocket landed near the city since Palestinians started firing from Gaza in 2001. "Israel is concerned and worried over the fact that the range of the missiles being fired on the western Negev settlements has increased and views these developments severely," OC Military Intelligence Maj.-Gen. Amos Yadlin said at Sunday's weekly cabinet meeting. The Popular Resistance Committees claimed responsibility for the attack. The IDF remained tight-lipped Sunday night about whether it would respond to the incident. While the rocket landed in an open field and caused little damage, it is very unusual to see the longer-range Grad deployed in the South.

Sans précédent, cette administration internationale marqua le point de départ de l’internationalisation de la question de la Palestine, dont le droit international allait servir de socle à une nouvelle forme de colonialisme. Au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l’Organisation des Nations Unies (ONU) continua l’action entreprise par la SDN en s’occupant également de cette question sur la demande des Britanniques. En novembre 1947, l’ONU décida du partage de la Palestine en deux Etats pour résoudre les conflits entre sionistes et nationalistes arabes.
