In order to answer the research questions, we applied mixed methods, both qualitative and quantitative. Our findings show that both the younger and the older students believe that patriotic content should be included in the curriculum. Yet younger students defined patriotism as mere ‘connection’ to the country while the older students defined patriotism in more emotional terms, showing more intense attachment to the country.

Excavating unstable ground: trends in archaeological research in Judea and Samaria, 1967-77 / Lash, Mordechay; Goldstein, Yossi; Shai, Itzhaq   Journal Article
Goldstein, Yossi Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article examines the factors that influenced the trends in archaeological excavations in Judea and Samaria during the decade attending the 1967 Six-Day War. Examination reveals a close connection between the political trends in Israel as they pertained to Judea and Samaria and the archaeological excavations undertaken in this region. When a prime minister appeared to consider Judea and Samaria an inseparable part of the state of Israel archaeologists followed (Meir). But when prime ministers regarded Judea and Samaria as territory that would be returned to the Jordanians (Eshkol and Rabin), the archaeologists stopped excavating in the region.

Generational crossover: ‘the Movement for the Entire Land of Israel’ from the Labour movement to Gush Emunim / Goldstein, Amir; Shilo, Elchanan   Journal Article
Goldstein, Amir Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The ‘Movement for the Entire Land of Israel’, was formed by activist members of the Labour movement shortly after the June 1967 war. Its founders struggle for “Greater Israel” and espoused the establishment of settlements that would secure the Israeli hold on the territories occupied during the war. During the 1970s, however, the movement had effectively come to be spearheaded by Gush Emunim (Bloc of the Faithful), a newly-created religious-nationalist activist group. This article describes this transition while examining the factors that enabled this process despite the two groups’ very different political, social, cultural ideals and intergenerational backgrounds.

Israeli navy vs. Hamas and Hezbollah / Eilam, Ehud   Journal Article
Eilam, Ehud Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The Israeli navy prepares to confront Arab non-state actors, mostly Hamas and Hezbollah. Hezbollah might attack Israel’s sea lanes in the Mediterranean Sea, while both Hamas and Hezbollah might strike Israel’s natural gas rigs and the Israeli coastline, where most of the Jewish state’s population and infrastructure are located. The Israeli navy will support ground forces by gathering intelligence and by striking targets. Yet, the Israeli navy does not have significant firepower so the IAF will assist in this matter. The Israeli navy also lacks the ability to conduct vast amphibious operations. The IDF can invest in this field sicne such a maneuver can be a game changer.

Jewish’ and ‘Non-Jewish’ fish in Lake Huleh in the 1930s and 1940s / Sack, Gerald D   Journal Article
Sack, Gerald D Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Before it was drained in the 1950s the Huleh Lake and swamps were an important fishing ground, supplying fish locally and as far south as Haifa. In the late 1940s a controversy arose between Jewish fishermen from the Yesod Hama’ala moshava and Kibbutz Hulata and a Christian Arab notable and his Jewish partner, both from the town of Safed, over the catching and marketing of fish caught in Lake Huleh. The Jewish villages pressured Tnuva. The Jewish produce marketing cooperative to market only ’Jewish’ fish, and thus to exclude the fish caught by the effendi and his partner. Today, after the draining of the Huleh swamps, the only fish caught and marketed from the area are those raised in kibbutz fishponds.

Local mimesis: meanings and metaphors in Aram Gershuni’s still life painting / Sevilla-Sadeh, Nava   Journal Article
Sevilla-Sadeh, Nava Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Aram Gershuni is an Israeli artist specialising in realistic and hyper-realistic painting, whose work differs radically from the mainstream of Israeli art and can most distinctly be characterised as ‘mimesis’, a term that is generally associated with traditional western art. Though Gershuni’s still life images may seem at first sight trivial and banal, it is their very banality and mimetic appearance that are significant, reflecting profound and disputed issues in Israeli culture. This article explores Gershuni’s still life paintings and offers several perspectives for their interpretation. The analysis is based on textual sources, mostly Classical, that reflect Gershuni’s approach and affinity.

New great game’ in the Eastern Mediterranean / Gürzel Aka, Aylin G; Engin Bozoglu, Aslıhan   Journal Article
Gürzel Aka, Aylin G Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article examines the vicissitudes in regional affairs in the Eastern Mediterranean and their impact on the geopolitics of energy and geo-cultural realities. Framing the ‘logic of competition’ (energy market realities/geo-economics) and securitisation of energy politics by focusing on different scenarios, it explores the significance of international supply chains; the consequences of the emergence of Israel as a regional gas supplier superpower; Turkey’s uncertain position as an energy barrier or bridge; and the role played by multinational companies (MNCs), the so-called ‘new great gamers’. The scope of the game has expanded and spilled over from the Black Sea region to the Eastern Mediterranean. In this context, Israel’s geopolitical approach is significant in the pursuit of wider economic and security interests.

When two anti-Zionists corresponded: a short note on George Antonius and Elizabeth P. MacCallum / Tauber, Eliezer   Journal Article
Tauber, Eliezer Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The article follows a correspondence between two anti-Zionist activists, George Antonius, author of The Arab Awakening and a member of the Palestinian Arab delegation to the 1939 London ‘round table’ conference, and Elizabeth P. MacCallum, a Canadian expert on the Middle East and later the ‘Middle East desk’ of the Canadian Department of External Affairs. Following a very negative book review of The Arab Awakening by the American journalist Albert Viton, MacCallum tried hard to publish positive reviews of the book. She failed, as she failed several years later in her attempts to thwart Canadian support for the UN Palestine partition resolution.
