Hillel Cohen refers to 1929 as Year Zero of the Arab-Israeli Conflict. He goes so far as to state that ‘it is impossible to understand Jewish-Arab relations in the Land of Israel–Palestine without understanding the events of 1929.'

How far back should you go to understand the current moment in the relationship between Israel and its Palestinian neighbors and the attack of October 7? Some would say 2005, or 1967, or maybe 1948 when the State of Israel was founded. But for historian and author Hillel Cohen of Hebrew University, year zero was 1929. Listen as he explains to EconTalk's Russ Roberts the significance of that year for the current moment, and the challenge of being an open-minded historian when tribal issues loom large.

Hillel Cohen discusses his new book on Mizrahim, Arabs, and Asheknazim in Israel The prominence of Mizrahi Jews as perpetrators of violent acts against Palestinians that have topped the headlines in recent years was the starting point of my recent study. The media coverage and public denunciation of these incidents are usually accompanied by reference to the attackers' Mizrahi origins, frequently invoking controversy among the commentators: Does ‘Mizrahi culture' generate excessive violence towards Palestinians? Are the Israeli media racist, denouncing Mizrahi Jews more than they do others? Or maybe this violence has to do with class and religious perceptions rather than ethnic origin? In this talk I will start with suggesting a definition to Mizrahi acts, i.e., what makes a certain act or view (violent or otherwise) to be defined as ‘Mizrahi'; then move on to present Mizrahi views and acts regarding the ‘Palestinian Question' from the outset of Zionism to present. The changes over time will be discussed in the light of the influence of the Ashkenazi-Zionist hegemony over Mizrahim and Arabs alike, as well as vis-à-vis Palestinian acts and ideas regarding ethnic relations within the Yishuv and the Jewish society in Israel.
Welcome to Season 3 of Unpacking Israeli History! In the summer of 1929, Jews and Arabs alike found themselves caught in an unbearably bloody battle. The aftermath of a deadly riot showed the Jews of British Mandatory Palestine that the British couldn't protect them, leading them to unite under the banner of Zionism. In this episode, Noam unpacks the 1929 Hebron Riots and considers why it may be considered “Year Zero” of the Arab-Israeli conflict. ~~~~ This season of Unpacking Israeli History is generously sponsored by Barbara Sommer & Alan Fisher, and by Marci & Andrew Spitzer, and this episode is generously sponsored by Liz and Moshe Neiman. ~~~~ Learn more about Unpacked: https://jewishunpacked.com/about/ Visit Unpacked on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/unpacked Unpacking Israeli History about Black Saturday: https://jewishunpacked.com/black-saturday-how-far-would-you-go-for-a-homeland/ Unpacking Israeli History about UN Resolution 3379: https://jewishunpacked.com/is-zionism-racism-un-resolution-3379/ ~~~~ Once Upon a Country: A Palestinian Life, Sari Nusseibeh https://www.britannica.com/biography/Amin-al-Husayni https://www.britannica.com/topic/mufti https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/hajj-amin-al-husayni-the-mufti-of-jerusalem A History of Israel, From the Rise of Zionism to Our Time, Howard Sachar Righteous Victims: A History of the Zionist-Arab Conflict, 1881-1998, Benny Morris One Palestine, Complete: Jews and Arabs Under the British Mandate, Tom Segev Reapproaching Borders: New Perspectives on the Study of Israel-Palestine, Sandy Sufian and Mark Levine https://www.haaretz.com/jewish/1929-hebron-massacre-begins-1.5427655 https://www.jpost.com/features/in-thespotlight/this-week-in-history-the-1929-hebron-massacre City of Abraham, Edward Platt https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/the-hebron-massacre-of-1929 http://en.hebron.org.il/history/713 Israel: A History, Martin Gilbert The Claim of Dispossession, Aryeh Avneri Year after the Riots: American Responses to the Palestine Crisis of 1929-30, Naomi Cohen https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015066430987&view=1up&seq=7&skin=2021, The Shaw Report https://www.jta.org/archive/testimony-of-orphaned-jewish-children-moves-hebron-court Year Zero of the Arab-Israeli Conflict 1929, Hillel Cohen http://en.jabotinsky.org/media/9747/the-iron-wall.pdf https://www.sefaria.org/topics/mashiach?tab=sources https://hebronfund.org/the-return-to-hebron-1967/ ~~~~

A new documentary from an Israeli director points to a mass, unmarked grave of Palestinians, killed in the village of Tantura in 1948. We talk to Alon Schwarz, director of Tantura; Hillel Cohen, a professor of Islamic and Middle Eastern studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and head of the university's Cherrick Center for the Study of Zionism; and Yara Hawari, a Palestinian writer and senior analyst at Al-Shabaka, The Palestinian Policy Network, and host of the podcast Rethinking Palestine.
Acclaimed scholar and Jerusalemite Hillel Cohen shared with us the stories of his childhood in Jerusalem, how he became interested in the history of the city and particular in establishing a personal relation with the Palestinians of Jerusalem after 1967. This is the moment Hillel became also interested in Jewish-Arab relations, how they developed and have been shaped by history. As we discussed his very famous work Year Zero of the Arab-Israeli Conflict 1929, Cohen clarified that 1929 was not really the beginning of the conflict and that we should understand that the violence that took place in the city while shaped views of each other, it did not certainly halted Arab-Jewish relations. We then discussed the question of redemption as a founding ideology of Zionism. Lastly we discussed the Rise and Fall of Arab Jerusalem, a fascinating work, a short but powerful narrative about the last 60 years of history of Jerusalem. After 1967, despite the occupation of East Jerusalem, the city became the hub of Palestinian politics and culture. The aftermath of the Oslo process pushed the Palestinians away emptying East Jerusalem of Palestinian political and cultural leadership. Once again we discussed the question of the Blue ID for Palestinians, something the largest majority of Israeli and audiences abroad are not aware of. While we did not talk about the future, we discussed his views about Jerusalem in 2021.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/jerusalemunplugged.

“As biosimilars receive FDA approval and more and more become available to patients, we're beginning to see a greater understanding and appreciation for these medicines as lower cost options,” explains Dr. Hillel Cohen, executive director of scientific affairs in the Sandoz division of Novartis and Sandoz representative to the education committee of the US Biosimilars Council. “You are not being switched to a new medication. You're being kept on the same medication that's being made by a different manufacturer.”
