| Summary/Abstract |
The transition from a 'State in the Making' to a sovereign state, based on the
infrastructure of self-rule at the time of the British Mandate, came about
without many tribulations despite the fact that during its formative years the
young Israel was involved in numerous conflicts-both internally and
externally-and a great many challenges and existential threats. This study
sheds light on the formation of frameworks and consolidating patterns of
statehood which were influenced by a strong national ideology which left
its imprint on every aspect of life, including sport. After May 1948, sports
activities in Israel branched out, as did sporting relations with many
countries of the world. As in the days before independence, when matters of
sport were in the service of the Zionist revolution and the nation-building
process, after the establishment of the State of Israel prominent encounters
with foreign sportsmen became a focus of national sentiment uniting all
citizens.

| Summary/Abstract |
Israeli sport, maybe more than any other cultural phenomenon, has changed
radically since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. Over the past
four decades, Israeli sport has evolved from an amateur hobby of a few
'sports freaks', to a passion of the masses. This transformation into a major
cultural phenomenon is the result of general developments in Israeli and
international society, as well as the enthusiastic efforts made by key
individuals. This article examines a few of these key people, and reviews the
major developments that turned Israeli sport into a central and legitimate
part of Israeli society

| Summary/Abstract |
This article analyzes the discourse of the sports columns of Filastin, a
major Arab newspaper during the British Mandate period in Palestine.
Between 1944 and 1947, Filastin published an almost daily sports
column that was dedicated to spreading a nationalist ideology. In this
period Filastin strove to promote the idea of a cross-religious modern
national identity and its writing drew a direct line between the
strengthening of the individual body and the strengthening of the
'national body'. It described sports as an integral part of the Arab
heritage and called on the Palestinian leaders to adopt the Egyptian,
Zionist andWestern attitudes toward sports in order to make it a tool of
modernization and nation building
