JEWISH M142 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Jewish National Fund, Slovenian Intercommunal Leagues, Kibbutz
Document Summary
Kibbutzim: resisted forced introduction of external populations into kibbutz. Fact versus historical fact: subjective experience of the truth, 5w1h: the whywhywhy. Different ways of presenting the same history neither means that all is true nor only one version is. Competing identities: arab, palestinian, religion, israeli, local, family (clans)/hamulah. Arab sector/ arab minority / arab israelis / palestinian israelis. Nationalism is clearly in the ascendant: some degree of unity based on some sort of principles, people belong to certain groups, question: is it modern or primordial. Notion of transformation and renewal inherent within the israeli nation-state. Judaism is a nationality to the extent that it is not just a religion goals of zionism. Nakba coined by prof constantin zureiq of american university in beirut (1948): not an indicator of superiority, but the need for arabs to reflect and consider why they could not defeat the zionists. Israel will be based on freedom, justice and peace.
