Anti-Arab riots in Israel and the Mizrahi question, 1948-67
This article addresses anti-Arab riots that occurred in Israel during the "Little Israel" period − 1948–1967 – and the discourse around them, both in the media and and behind the scenes. It sheds light on the tendency to emphasize the rioters' Mizrahi descent and to attribute their violence to "Mizrahi culture" and "Mizrahi primitivism," which dovetailed the broader array of stereotypes attached to Mizrahim: low education, a patriarchal culture a…
The Temple Mount/al-Aqsa in Zionist and Palestinian National Consciousness
While the Temple Mount/al-Aqsa Mosque constitutes a national and religious focal point for both Israelis and Palestinians, there have been profound differences in the attitudes of the competing national movements to this site. The Zionist movement attempted to create alternative, secular holy places (such as the Jezreel Valley and the Hebrew University) in order to detach itself from blunt messianism, while the Palestinians, from the Mandate peri…
Year Zero of the Arab-Israeli Conflict 1929
The Rise and Fall of Arab Jerusalem
This book examines Palestinian politics in Jerusalem since 1967, and in particular since the outbreak of the second Intifada in September 2000, focusing on the city’s decline as an Arab city and the identity crisis among the Jerusalemite Palestinians. Principally concerned with Palestinian politics and how they have evolved over time from the grass roots upwards, it covers issues such as the separation wall, military activity and terror, planning…
Racial Uplift and American Music, 1878-1943
The concept of African American “uplift” remains contentious. Did the fervent pursuit of high culture provide status elevation for African Americans recently released from bondage, or did it denote an accommodationist strategy doomed to bear no fruit? Was it a more European than African American–derived endeavor? Did it rend unhelpful class divisions between blacks? Did it lead to lasting art? The story is more nuanced than simple answers to such…
Palestinian Armed Struggle, Israel's Peace Camp, and the Unique Case of Fatah-Jerusalem
Society-Military Relations in a State-in-the-Making
The participation of the Palestinian Authority's (PA's) security agencies in the armed struggle against Israel in the second Palestinian uprising (2000-2005) is analyzed in this article as a response to the demand of Palestinian society, thus as a unique case of armed forces which, in the lack of political directive, became more attentive to public opinion. The article shows how Palestinian public discourse in the late 1990s-early 2000s, that was…

Good Arabs
Based on his reading of top-secret files of the Israeli police and the prime minister's office, Hillel Cohen exposes the full extent of the crucial, and, until now, willfully hidden history of Palestinian collaboration with Israelis—and of the Arab resistance to it. Cohen's previous book, the highly acclaimed Army of Shadows, told how this hidden history played out from 1917 to 1948, and now, in Good Arabs he focuses on the system of collaborator…

Army of ShadowsPalestinian Collaboration with Zionism, 1917-1948
Inspired by stories he heard in the West Bank as a child, the author of this biook uncovers here a hidden history central to the narrative of the Israel-Palestine conflict but for the most part willfully ignored until now. This book was initially published in Israel to high acclaim and intense controversy and tells the story of Arabs who, from the very beginning of the Arab-Israeli encounter, sided with the Zionists and aided them politically, ec…

Triangle of Betrayal
This article addresses the phenomenon of collaboration and societal reaction to it in the Israeli-Palestinian context. The authors identify a "triangle of betrayal": the Palestinian collaborators' betrayal of their communities; the betrayal of the communities who often use the label of collaboration as a pretext for abuses; and the betrayal of the Israeli government who often receives services from the collaborators and later abandons them to the…

Human Rights Dilemmas in Using Informers to Combat Terrorism
Using informers is a basic tool in preventing terror attacks and the nature of current terror threats makes it even more crucial. This use, however, often leads to human rights violations, both of the informers and by them, and to many problematic ethical questions. Drawing on the Israeli–Palestinian example—where a main strategy of Israeli intelligence activity in the Palestinian areas has been an extensive use of informers—this article presents…
Land, Memory, and Identity
This article describes and analyzes the processes the Internal Refugees have experienced since the establishment of the state till this day from the perspective of the struggle over the “refugee identity.” While the state has tried to undermine this identity as part of its policy against the Right of Return, activists from the refugees’ communities have done their best to preserve it. In the late 1980s it looked as if the state’s goal of uprootin…
