Just beyond the wall lies the neighborhood of al-Ram, now severed from East Jerusalem. Inside front and inside back cover image: ‚ ‚ 31°49 10”N / 35°15 59”E Palestinian side of the Separation Wall on the outskirts of the Palestinian town of ʿAnata. The Israeli settlement of Pisgat Ze’ev lies beyond in East Jerusalem. This publication takes its point of departure from Fazal Sheikh’s Memory Trace, the first of his three-volume photographic proj- ect on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Published in the spring of 2015, The Erasure Trilogy is divided into three separate vol- umes—Memory Trace, Desert Bloom, and Independence/Nakba. The project seeks to explore the legacies of the Arab–Israeli War of 1948, which resulted in the dispossession and displacement of three quarters of the Palestinian population, in the establishment of the State of Israel, and in the reconfiguration of territorial borders across the region. Elements of these volumes have been exhibited at the Slought Foundation in Philadelphia, Storefront for Art and Architecture, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and the Pace/MacGill Gallery in New York, and will now be presented at the Al-Ma’mal Foundation for Contemporary Art in East Jerusalem, and the Khalil Sakakini Cultural Center in Ramallah. In addition, historical documents and materials related to the history of Al-’Araqīb, a Bedouin village that has been destroyed and rebuilt more than one hundred times in the ongoing “battle over the Negev,” first presented at the Slought Foundation, will be shown at Al-Ma’mal.

  • Does Air Pollution Really Suppress Precipitation in Israel?’’
    AUGUST 2009 N O T E S A N D C O R R E S P O N D E N C E 1733 Comments on ‘‘Does Air Pollution Really Suppress Precipitation in Israel?’’ AMIR GIVATI Israeli Hydrological Service, Jerusalem, Israel DANIEL ROSENFELD The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel (Manuscript received 15 October 2007, in final form 20 December 2008) ABSTRACT Alpert et al. in a recent paper challenged the quantification of the suppression of orographic precipitation that was shown in two recent papers by Givati and Rosenfeld to occur in Israel. Their main claim was that the results were determined by the selection of the rain gauges. In this comment, it is demonstrated that when an objective selection of the rain gauges is applied to all of the rain gauges that were used by Alpert et al. and Givati and Rosenfeld, the outcome replicates the results of Givati and Rosenfeld and provides additional insights. At the final account, this comment further enhances the confidence that orographic precipitation has been suppressed over Israel. The direct evidence to the cause is still lacking. 1.
