  • The New Israeli Land Reform August 2009
    Adalah’s Newsletter, Volume 63, August 2009 The New Israeli Land Reform August 2009 Background On 3 August 2009, the Knesset (Israeli parliament) passed the Israel Land Administration (ILA) Law (hereinafter the “Land Reform Law”), with 61 Members of Knesset (MKs) voting in favor of the law and 45 MKs voting against it. The new land reform law is wide ranging in scope: it institutes broad land privatization; permits land exchanges between the State and the Jewish National Fund (Keren Kayemet Le-Israel) (hereinafter - the “JNF”), the land of which is exclusively reserved for the Jewish people; allows lands to be allocated in accordance with "admissions committee" mechanisms and only to candidates approved by Zionist institutions working solely on behalf of the Jewish people; and grants decisive weight to JNF representatives in a new Land Authority Council, which would replace the Israel Land Administration (ILA). The land privatization aspects of the new law also affect extremely prejudicially properties confiscated by the state from Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel; Palestinian refugee property classified as “absentee” property; and properties in the occupied Golan Heights and in East Jerusalem. Land Privatization Policy The law stipulates that 800,000 dunams of land currently under state-control will be privatized, enabling private individuals to acquire ownership rights in them. The reform will lead to the transfer of ownership in leased properties and land governed by outline plans enabling the issuance of building permits throughout the State of Israel in the urban, rural and agricultural sectors. Change in the organizational structure of the Israel Lands Administration The reform further stipulates a broad organizational re-structuring of the ILA.

  • Wine Catalogue Golan Heights Winery
    WINE CATALOGUE GOLAN HEIGHTS WINERY Soil. Topography. Climate. Three distinct grape-growing conditions for producing quality wines on an international level. In Israel, these optimal conditions exist in the Golan Heights. As in other premier wine regions worldwide, everything in this magical strip of land begins with the right conditions, a combination of volcanic basaltic soil, suit- able topography and high altitude resulting in cool climate found in the Golan. This is what gives the Golan Heights its second name: “Wine Country.” Over the years, the distinctive wines of the Golan Heights Winery have become world-renowned, winning dozens of awards at prestigious international competitions. Indeed, the Winery has placed Israel on the world wine map. Since its founding in 1983, the Golan Heights Winery has created four leading brands – Yarden, Gamla, Hermon and Golan. Today, it is considered Israel’s leading winery when it comes to wine quality, technological innovation, and new variety development. The Winery has played a significant role in nurturing the country’s current wine culture, and has altered the way Israeli wines are perceived worldwide. The Winery Name: Golan Heights Winery Location: Katzrin, Northeast Israel Established: 1983 Owners: Galilee and Golan Heights Vineyards, Inc. 4 Kibbutzim (collectives): El Rom, Ortal, Ein Zivan and Geshur 4 Moshavim (cooperatives): Ramat Magshimim, Yonatan, Allone Habashan and Ramot Naftali Subsidiaries: Galil Mountain Winery; Yarden, Inc.

  • ISRAEL 14 – 28 March 2009 a Birdwatching Trip Report by Owain Gabb1 and Tim Sykes2 Purpose of This Report This Is a Summary of a Fortnight of Birding in Israel
    ISRAEL 14 – 28 March 2009 A birdwatching trip report by Owain Gabb1 and Tim Sykes2 Purpose of this report This is a summary of a fortnight of birding in Israel. During our trip we travelled from Northern to Southern Israel, beginning at Ma’agan Mikhael on the Mediterranean coast, then moving to Mount Hermon on the Syrian Border, before working our way gradually down through Hula, the Golan Heights and the Dead Sea Region for an extended stay in the Eilat area. We found the Israeli people to be very friendly, and despite the recent escalation of hostilities in and around Gaza, there was very little evidence of a country at war3. We saw many of the species we had hoped to, a few we did not expect, experienced fantastic scenery and stayed in some reasonably priced and very relaxing accommodation. Israel is a very dynamic country in birding terms, and we saw much evidence of environmental change and sanitisation during our stay4, with the result that some well known sites have now declined significantly in terms of interest. We hope that the following account, which includes detailed information on birds, sites and accommodation, provides other birders planning an Israel trip a good basis from which to develop an itinerary. Getting around We booked two return tickets from London Heathrow to Tel Aviv (Ben Gurion airport) with British Airways. The total cost per person was £273.30. For anyone planning a trip to Southern Israel only, it is probably worth looking into flying into Jordan, taking a bus across the border and hiring a car in Eilat.

  • 1948 Arab‒Israeli
    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.

  • 2013-2014 ( Dr
    Nelson Glueck School of Biblical Archaeology - 2013-2014 (www.ngsba.org) Dr. David Ilan, director The NGSBA currently employs two full-time archaeologists (Dr. David Ilan and Dr. Yifat Thareani), one part-time researcher and administrator (Levana Zias) and one part-time illustrator (Noga Zeevi). Other functions are now farmed out on a contractual basis, when needed. Below is a brief summary of our activities for the past academic year. • Tel Dan publication. This is, once again, the main focus of our work, occupying the majority of our time and energy. The Dan IV and Dan V volumes have been rescheduled for publication by the end of the current year. Dan IV (the Early Iron Age - David Ilan) will be the largest volume we have ever published. Dan V (The Middle Bronze Age fortifications and Mudbrick Gate) will be the last volume written (in part) by Avraham Biran. Dan VII (the Iron Age II domestic contexts) is currently in preparation by Yifat Thareani, with an anticipated publication date of 2015. Work on Dan VII is financed by a $25,000, 3-year grant, awarded by the White-Levy Publication Program of Harvard University (this is the last year). Levana Zias continues preparing the Hellenistic and Roman levels for publication (Possibly as Dan VIII). She has made some startling new discoveries about the Hellenistic period temple, which it now seems bears a remarkable similarity to the Samaritan Temple on Mt. Gerizim. • Conservation work at Tel Dan. Last year we received a grant of $35,000 to expedite a small conservation project of an early Iron Age sanctuary and the recycling metallurgy installations at Tel Dan.
