Chaim Weizmann
Chaim Weizmann
In Zionism’s brief history, no figure did more than Chaim Weizmann for the establishment of the State of Israel. Israel and Israelis owe him an immeasurable debt. Yet, he does not receive the recognition he deserves. His omission from Zionist and Israeli history has become so complete that, some years ago, when the Central Zionist Archives in Jerusalem organized a series of lectures on Zionist leaders, Weizmann was left out. The list of subjects …

Palestine between Politics and Terror, 1945–1947
A History of the First Arab-Israeli War
The End of the British Mandate for Palestine, 1948

Introduction
If I lived there it would crush me” Jerusalem from the Biographical to the Historical and Back
Chief of staff in quest of a war
That Dayan was a central figure in Israel's formative years during the 1950s is beyond dispute. His star blazed particularly bright in the Sinai War of October‐November 1956. However, the roots of Dayan's extraordinary influence are to found in the period leading up to the Sinai War rather than in the war itself. It is impossible to understand the Sinai War, particularly its Israeli aspect, without understanding the central role played by the arm…
The 'Haifa Turning Point
On 14 May 1948, the mandate which had been awarded to Britain by the League of Nations to govern Palestine expired. The run-up to the end of British rule was marked by long months of a Palestinian civil war between Jews and Arabs, which significantly affected the manner in which Britain concluded its mission in Palestine. The war, which lasted from December 1947 until May 1948, was inevitably influenced by the fact that British rule, including th…
Shall we go to war? And if we do, when? The genesis of the internal debate in Israel on the road to the Sinai war
Jerusalem's Hope Lies Only in Partition
In June 1937, David Ben-Gurion explained to one of the leaders of American Zionism why he thought it was right to divide Jerusalem: “England (and we) need control over the holy places—that is, the Old City. [But] ruling over Rehavia [a neighborhood in the city's western part] adds nothing [to Britain], whereas for the Jews, the millions of the Jews who do not know the difference between the Sharon and the [Jezre'el] Valley [or the difference betw…

The historical place of the Czech‐Egyptian arms deal, Fall 1955
A virtual axiom of the literature on the Arab-Israeli conflict is that when the news was received, in late September 1955, of an arms deal on an unprecedented scale between Egypt and Czechoslovakia, key players on the Israeli side began thinking in terms of a preventive war. 'Against the background of the Czech-Egyptian deal, the growing threat from the south, and the blockade of the Straits of Tiran,' wrote Michael Bar-Zohar, 'Israel embarked up…
