| Summary/Abstract |
Ahmed Djemal Pasha, Military Governor of the Levant during World War I, instigated two major deportations of Jews from Jaffa during the course of the war, and numerous lesser ones. On 17 December 1914, a day that came to be known as ‘Black Thursday’, the Ottoman ruler of Jaffa, under Djemal’s command, ordered the mass deportation of ‘enemy subjects’, including 6,000 Russian-born Jewish residents of Jaffa. Over the course of the next three months, a few thousand more Russian-born Jews were expelled from Palestine or fled just ahead of the deportations. In total 11,277 Jews were exiled, leaving on various ships that took them from Jaffa to Alexandria. This article describes the ‘Black Thursday’ deportation based on testimonies of those who either witnessed it or were its victims, and briefly on the two works of documentary fiction that provide a rounded context for the many accounts.

Various studies conducted in recent years have found that in many cases, consumer behaviour in the US does not correspond with assumptions associated with rational behaviour. One of the areas examined in this context is the impact of the zero price. This article takes two experiments that examined the zero price effect in the US and repeats them in Israel to check if Israeli consumer behaviour in this field is similar to that of American consumers. The results show that at least in terms of the zero price effect, Israeli consumer behaviour differs from that of American consumers: while American consumers are greatly influenced by the opportunity to receive free products, Israeli consumers are far less influenced by the opportunity to receive free items.

| Summary/Abstract |
While economic sanctions are often used as a foreign policy tool to fight state-sponsored terrorism, their efficacy remains unclear. This article argues that the intensifying economic hardship caused by sanctions forces the targeted governments to undertake a retrenchment strategy, which in turn reduces the overall frequency of state-sponsored terrorist attacks. Using cross-sectional-time-series data of Iranian-backed terrorism from 1987 to 2005, the article shows that sanctions against the Iranian regime were instrumental in reducing terrorist attacks by Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ).

This article examines female basketball fandom in Israel, concentrating on the relationship between gender and ethnonational identity in sport. It is based on two preliminary assumptions: (a) sport is considered a masculine sphere of interest; (b) sport in general, and fandom in particular, are part of the unique sociocultural life; hence patterns of Israeli female fandom are influenced by collective-Israeli ethnonational and gender identity. The article follows the qualitative-narrative approach, using in-depth interviews. Its findings revealed symbiotic relationships between fans’ ethnic-national identity and their fandom for Maccabi Tel Aviv and views of the team’s players.

Since October 2020 there is a new actor in Israel’s maritime space and energy sector after the Chevron Corporation acquired Noble Energy. This article examines the first year under the headings: financial aspects, regional politics, the UAE and the Abraham Accords, the EastMed natural gas pipeline, security aspects, Chevron and local companies and scandals and environmental aspects. The analysis determines the historical significances and projects ways forward, for a win–win outcome for Chevron and Israel. Chevron has ability to make the EastMed pipeline happen may also have positive ramifications for regional politics. Israel as a regulator will not permit Chevron to gain a larger stake of the gas fields, or even increase prices to the IEC and so to consumers. Israel will aim to ensure that Chevron will not cut corners that could result in labour issues, health and safety dangers, and environmental catastrophe. The Israel Navy has procured four new warships, to meet the gas fields’ direct security needs, permitting a Brown Water doctrine shift while enabling enhanced power projection capability.

| Summary/Abstract |
Recently there has been a growing tendency among Israeli Arab teachers to work in Jewish schools. This trend has several sociopolitical and economic reasons but is generally viewed as a welcome development that should be encouraged. Based on interviews with ten Arab teachers in Jewish schools, this article seeks to delve into their living experience and understand their motivations and aspirations, as well as the obstacles they encounter. Its findings underscore two main obstacles that need to be surmounted: cultural differences and lower mastery of the Hebrew language, on the one hand, and the tension attending a different ethnic/national identity from that of the taught audience, on the other.

This article examines the role of literature teachers as cultural mediators in various religious elementary schools in Israel. By way of doing so, it examines the literary works that teachers presented to their classes, the contexts in which the lessons were taught, and the teachers’ responses to what was learned in these lessons, from a cultural perspective. Using a qualitative approach, data from 40 teachers from both state-religious and ultra-orthodox schools were retrieved, using questionnaires, audio recordings, and written transcriptions of lessons. Findings paint a disturbing picture of using literary texts only as tools for religious education.

An analysis of the diary of Ihsan Turjman, an Arab soldier who served in the Ottoman army in World War I, and of letters written by B. Zilberman, a Jewish soldier in the British army fighting the Ottomans, reveals common themes that nuance the widely held assumption about the inevitability of the Arab-Jewish conflict in the Middle East.

This article analyses a series of 14 articles, published in the widespread daily Turkish newspaper Yeni Sabah in June 1949 under the title ‘A Strange Country: Yeni Sabah’s Correspondent Mehmet Ataker reports from Israel’. It shows that while Turkey was the first Muslim state to have recognised Israel, Yeni Sabah adopted a clear anti-Israel stance, transmitting the Palestinian narrative on the 1948 war to its Turkish readers and attempting to delegitimize Israel by questioning the idea of Jewish nationalism and using symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism to deride Israelis and Jews.

| Summary/Abstract |
Based on hitherto untapped documents from the Israeli and Turkish state archives, this article discusses Turkish–Israeli relations during the 1960s. It shows that since the relationship was more important for Israel, Ankara called most of the shots while Israel used its relative advantages, especially in the economic and trade fields, to keep the relations going. Hence, despite intensifying political and economic ties with the Arab world since the mid-1960s, Ankara resisted persistent pressures to downscale, if not end altogether, its relations with Israel, though these took the odd beating in line with the vicissitudes in Turkey’s domestic and international affairs.
