Why Was Moshe Sharett Sacked? Examining the Premature End of a Political Career, 1956
Drawing mainly on the diary of Israeli politician Moshe Sharett, this article examines the circumstances surrounding his forced resignation as foreign minister in 1956. It was Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion who insisted on Sharett’s removal but refused to reveal his reasons publicly. This examination of why Sharett was sacked also offers wider insight into conflicts between activism and restraint within Israel’s political and military elite in t…
Palestine Jewry and the Arab Question, 1917-1925
An analysis of the Palestine Jewry's attitudes to the "Arab question". This book shows how the majority of the Palestinian Jews saw the experience of 1917 to 1925 as justifying the adoption of a firm "solution" to the conflict with the Arabs
Victimhood in Israeli and Palestinian National Narratives
This essay discusses the theme of victimhood in the Israeli and Palestinian national narratives. These sentiments have contributed to the entrenchment of mutually exclusive claims which have made the Israeli-Palestinian conflict so intractable. Israeli history and identity have been overwhelmed by a morose sense of victimization, while Palestinian national identity presents a parallel victimhood component stemming from the Nakba, the catastrophe …

The 1956 Sinai Campaign Viewed From Asia: Selections From Moshe Sharett's Diaries
October 29, 2001 marked the forty-fifth anniversary of the Sinai Campaign—Israel's first "war of choice." 1 The declared objective of the Israel Defense Force [IDF] was to eliminate the feda'yun incursions launched over the preceding two years from bases in the Egyptian-administered Gaza Strip and Sinai Peninsula against mostly civilian targets inside Israel. It soon became clear, however, that the IDF campaign had been prepared in collusion with…

"The "New Historians
Writing about Zionist and Israeli history will never be the same, thanks to scholars such as Avi Shlaim, Benny Morris, and Ilan Pappe. In the late 1980s, their publications sparked a lively debate among Israeli historians and intellectuals that has now spread beyond the halls of academe. Soon dubbed the new historians, Shlaim (in Collusion Across the Jordan), Morris (in The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem, 1947-1949), and Pappe (in Brita…

En examinant la querelle fédérale-provinciale sur les droits miniers sous-marins du Canada, querelle non encore vidée en 1969, on peut isoler quelques-uns des paramètres les plus significatifs quant aux perspectives de solutions de tels conflits.

Arab-Jewish Contacts in Palestine After the First World War
During 1918-19, when official British and Zionist priorities were placed on relations with the Amir Faisal', it was a matter of policy for Zionists to avoid any semblance of official discussions with local Arabs in Syria or Palestine.2 With the exception of some private meetings, and in spite of some deviations, this line was largely followed by local Yishuv leaders. When, for example, an American member of the Zionist Commission [hereafter ZC] s…
