Intelligence Notes:The Nazi State of Israel and the Palestinian Holocaust (You are witnessing an Ethnic Cleansing Operation) The German Rothschild Balfour Declaration (1917) expressed British support for the establishment of a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine. • After World War I, Britain was given control of Palestine through the League of Nations Mandate, and the Balfour Declaration was incorporated into that mandate. • During the British Mandate (1920–1948), Jewish immigration to Palestine increased, partly enabled by British policies aligned with the Rothschild's Balfour Declaration — though Britain later limited immigration under pressure from Arab opposition. • The declaration legitimized Euro-Zionist aspirations on the international stage and contributed to the growth of a Jewish community (the Yishuv) in Palestine. • Over time, tensions escalated between Euro-Jews and Afro-Shemitic Arabs in the region, leading to violence and political conflict. • Following the Euro- Holocaust and increased international sympathy, the UN voted in 1947 to partition Palestine into Jewish and Arab states. • On May 14, 1948, the Euro-Jewish leadership declared the independence of the State of Israel.To support the [Show] and its [Research] with Donations, please send all funds and gifts to :$aigner2019 (cashapp) or https://www.paypal.me/Aigner2019 or Zelle (1-617-821-3168).

In last week's episode we heard the first part of the historical model which brings a balanced - and therefore entirely new - framework to the past one hundred years of Jews in the land of Israel. To recap part one of our discussion - Professor Francisco Gil-White illustrates for us the documented dynamics on the ground in British Mandate Palestine, one where the voluntary and enthusiastic sale of land to the Jews of the early Yishuv resulted in the increased quality of life for the local Arabs and Jews already living there - so much so that Arab immigration into the land of Israel increased dramatically for those throughout the region seeking better quality and conditions of life.We learned that the Arab elite was far from on board with the creation of an Arab middle class and how that elite worked together with the British to aid and abet terror so savage and overwhelming that it would - and did - threaten the existence of the future fledgling state before it was even realized in its modern formation. We met arch villain Hajj Amin al Husseini, the grand Mufti of Jerusalem whose life and legacy is critical to understanding the continuous conflict from which Israel and the Arab world still cannot escape.  Husseini's strategizing of Arab terror was collated into the PLO we know (and imagine as moderate) today and whose mission has not changed since its inception. Husseini meets with Hitler and the heads of the Nazi movement and becomes their official beneficiary.In the second part of today's discussion, we turn to the second half of that century to understand the origins of the much misused title “Palestine”, the telling changes made to the PLO's charter between 1964 & 1968, Husseini's PLO progeny in Yasser Arafat and the story's connection to Eugenics. These are the rotten fruits of a century of terrorism.Here is Dr Francisco Gil-White in part two of The Final Solution - Reframing One Hundred years in the land of Israel.http://www.hirhome.com/israel/talon-de-aquiles_intro_eng.htmhttp://www.hirhome.com/israel/pal_mov.htmhttps://www.hirhome.com/israel/nazis_palestinians.htmFind Professor Francisco Gil-White's current research at:www.managementofreality.comA Night at the Gardenhttps://anightatthegarden.com/https://www.pbs.org/video/night-garden-qh6mme/ Get full access to Ilana Rachel Daniel at ilanaracheldaniel120.substack.com/subscribe

Today we look back at the history of Palestinian violence against the Jews in Israel (and in the pre-state Yishuv) -- from the fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1917 through the myriad efforts to establish a Palestinian Arab State alongside a Jewish State in the 1930s and the 40s. In our discussion today, we follow this pattern all the way through the Second Intifada in the early 2000s, and now today. Each time a war or wave of terror is launched, and Israel perseveres, the Palestinian leadership tries to dictate the terms of what comes next, as though they were the victors in this defensive war, rather than the aggressors and the defeated. Why? And are we seeing that same mindset play out right now? Did Hamas actually think it would defeat Israel with this attack, and Israel would fold to its demands, or possibly even just disappear? To help us understand this important history, Dr. Einat Wilf joins us. Einat was born and raised in Israel. She was an Intelligence Officer in the IDF. She has worked for McKinsey. She was Foreign Policy Advisor to Vice Prime Minister Shimon Peres and an advisor to Yossi Beilin, who was Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. Dr. Wilf was a member of the Israeli Parliament (the Knesset) in the early 2010s, where she served as Chair of the Education Committee and Member of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. She has a BA from Harvard, an MBA from INSEAD in France, and a PhD in Political Science from the University of Cambridge. She was a Visiting Professor at Georgetown University and is a lecturer at Reichman University in Israel. Einat is the author of seven books that explore key issues in Israeli society. “We Should All Be Zionists“, published in 2022, brings together her essays from the past four years on Israel, Zionism and the path to peace; and she co-authored “The War of Return: How Western Indulgence of the Palestinian Dream Has Obstructed the Path to Peace”, which was published in 2020.

Il violento attacco del movimento terroristico islamista Hamas contro gli ebrei di Israele, all'alba di sabato 7 ottobre 2023 – oltre 1.400 vittime, tantissimi feriti e 250 ostaggi – non ha precedenti e resterà una data indelebile nella storia dello stato di Israele.In questo primo episodio lo storico contemporaneo Claudio Vercell analizza la questione del territorio arabo-ebraico dall'Ottocento, partendo dalla dissoluzione dell'Impero ottomano che controllava quei territori, fino al protettorato britannico del 1923. Lo storico analizza le origini della convivenza tra comunità arabe musulmane, cristiane ed ebree, spiegando, dal punto di vista storico, il significato della parola sionismo e degli Yishuv, insediamenti ebraici nel territorio che risalgono alla fine dell'Ottocento. Lo storico conclude spiegando come la risoluzione Onu del 1947 che determinò, nel 1948, la nascita di Israele, fu il risultato di un complesso processo storico, che ebbe un ruolo decisivo sul destino di quel territorio arabo-ebraico ancora oggi conteso.In questo podcast, lo storico contemporaneo Claudio Vercelli, racconta le tappe fondamentali della vicenda di Israele. Vercelli ha scritto, per la casa editrice Giuntina, Israele. Storia dello Stato e nella prefazione scrive: “Israele è nel cuore e nelle menti dei contemporanei, suscitando passioni e identificazioni, simpatie ma anche rifiuti e dinieghi. Della sua storia, in Italia, si sa ben poco. Ancor meno sono conosciute le ragioni, gli eventi, i fatti che hanno portato alla nascita dello Stato degli ebrei durante un secolo, il Novecento, che ha visto mutare equilibri profondi”.https://storiainpodcast.focus.it - Canale Le questioni della StoriaA cura di Francesco De Leo.

World War Two, fought from 1939 to 1945, brought about a changed geopolitical reality in the world as a whole and in Palestine, which radically changed the interests of the British, the Zionist movement and the Yishuv, and the Arabs of Palestine. As a result of these factors, coupled with decisions made by the leadership of each of these three actors, the British decided to hand over the Palestine Mandate to the newly formed United Nations. Despite the forces working within the UN to prevent the establishment of a Jewish state, three sets of decision-makers—Stalin in the Soviet Union, the members of the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine, and President Harry Truman of the United States—came out in favor of partitioning Palestine and creating a Jewish state in just over half its territory, and they paved the way for the UN Partition Resolution of November 1947. In this episode, Dr. Polisar analyzes the changes brought about by World War Two and the decisions made by the key actors within Palestine and outside of it that, collectively, made it possible for the UN to carry out a policy that revived the prospects for establishing a Jewish state only eight years after the British had seemed to dash those hopes permanently. Supplemental Materials:  "Who Saved Israel in 1947?" by Martin Kramer. 

In response to growing Jewish immigration, land purchases, and economic expansion, the Arabs of Palestine engaged in mounting violence in 1920-21, 1929, and 1936-1939. In each case, Great Britain responded by retreating from its promise to facilitate a Jewish national home. In the first two cases, Zionist counter-pressure, led by Chaim Weizmann, succeeded in getting Britain to return to its commitments, but in 1939 Britain, seeking to appease the Arabs on the eve of World War Two, issued a White Paper effectively reneging on the Balfour Declaration. The Yishuv, the Jewish community of Palestine, buttressed by waves of immigration driven by escalating anti-Semitism in Europe, used these two decades of British rule to establish the foundations of a Jewish state. This episode describes the escalating Arab violence, the evolution of British appeasement, and the efforts of the Jews to reverse the British retreat and to build economic, social, and political institutions that could serve as the nucleus for their state. Supplemental Materials:  "The Mufti of Jerusalem's Legacy" by Sean Durns.  "From Africa to China, How Israel Helps Quench the Developing World's Thirst" by Seth Siegel. 

Shortly after the General Assembly voted on November 29, 1947, to establish Jewish and Arab states in Palestine, Chaim Weizmann declared that states are not given to peoples on a silver platter—and that the Jews would have to fight to establish theirs. Indeed, the Yishuv, backed by the Zionist movement, fought a War of Independence beginning the day after the UN decision, when the Arabs of Palestine responded with anger and violence. The war did not end until early 1949. In this episode, Dr. Polisar breaks down the two phases of the conflict—the “civil war” pitting the Arabs of Palestine against the Yishuv from November 1947 to May 1948; and the war against the five Arab countries that invaded Palestine in May 1948 with the aim of preventing the birth of the Jewish state. In addition to examining the causes and consequences of Israel's victory, Dr. Polisar also covers the Isrel's Declaration of Independence, read aloud by David Ben-Gurion on May 14, 1948 just hours before the British Mandate formally ended. Supplemental Materials:  A series of essays by Martin Kramer on Israel's Declaration of Independence.  "Podcast: Neil Rogachevsky and Dov Zigler on the Political Philosophy of Israel's Declaration of Independence."

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.

First Yishuv of Talmidei HaBesht עליית תלמידי הבעש״ט (1777)

Rav Yosef Tzvi Dushinsky (1867-1948) was the rabbi of the Eidah Chareidis community in Yerushalayim & headed the branch of Agudas Yisrael in that country for 15 crucial and tumultuous years. Having grown up in Hungary, he had previously served as rabbi of Galanta and Chust (Slovakia) for four decades. In Yerushalayim he oversaw the sweeping changes which were taking place in the Yishuv with immigration, the Great Arab Revolt, the policies of the British Mandatory government, World War II, the Holocaust, the UN Partition Resolution and the founding of the State of Israel. As a responsible and outspoken leader, Rav Dushinsky courageously led his community through this unique era, and aside from his rabbinical duties - along with his position as rosh yeshiva in the yeshiva which he founded - he took an active political role as well. Ultimately the changing demographics due to the immigration of more moderate Agudists from Poland in Germany led to a split between the Eidah Chareidis and Agudas Yisrael, which was overseen by Rav Dushinsky and remains to this very day. Following his passing in 1948 he was succeeded by his only son Rav Yisroel Moshe Dushinsky (1921-2003), who built the Dushinsky community around the yeshiva and transformed it from an Ashkenaz Oberland community into a full Chassidic court.   For sponsorship opportunities about your favorite topics of Jewish history contact Yehuda at:  yehuda@yehudageberer.com   Subscribe To Our Podcast on:  PodBean: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/ Follow us on Twitter or Instagram at @Jsoundbites You can email Yehuda at yehuda@yehudageberer.com

Mitzvas Yishuv Eretz Yisroel (Massei 5782)

Ruben Adler, más conocido por su alias "cosmopolita desarraigado" o "babel", nos introduce en este episodio en un maravilloso y dramático momento de la historia judía: los decenios previos a la creación del Estado de Israel. A comienzos de los años 20 del siglo XX los primeros ataques de pobladores árabes a las colonias judías llevan a las autoridades de Yishuv a comenzar a crear grupos de autodefensa (y luego de ataque) para enfrentar a estos grupos. El primer grupo en crearse fue la Haganá, luego surgió el Irgun, el Palmaj y finalmente el Leji. Estos grupos "paramilitares" judíos tenían también sus propias diferencias ideológicas ¿Se debía enfrentar a los árabes o a los ingleses? ¿Debían ser solo grupos de defensa o también de ataque? Ruben Adler no lleva con sus conocimientos y algunos datos poco conocidos a conocer de más cerca a estos grupos y especialmente a algunos de sus líderes más prominentes: Zeev Jabotinsky, Menajem Beguin e Yair Stern. Un episodio que dará que hablar.

TFJ: The Birth of Israel  Series 2 Episode 5   The Partition Plan which would have enabled the creation of a Jewish State was not looking promising.  The American State Department was adamantly opposed, dampening President Truman's support. The Soviet's were in favor of partition, which presented a rare opportunity as with the Soviets came their satellite countries. It would take Dr. Chaim Weizmann with all of his wisdom and charm to convince President Truman to vote for partition and put the United States' weight behind it.  After the motion for Jewish statehood passed in the UN, there was rejoicing in Israel and in Jewish communities throughout the world. The Arab reaction was a wave of lethal violence. The Yishuv began making hasty preparations for war. The Etzion Block in the Hebron hills south of Jerusalem was besieged by Arab guerrillas. A relief column of 35 of Hebrew University's brightest students never made it to their comrades and were killed and mutilated by Khader el Husseini's soldiers.    Edited and Produced by Alex Drucker  Learn more at TellerFromJerusalem.com  Don't forget to subscribe, like and share!

With the onset of the First Aliyah in the 1880's, and the beginnings of Jewish agricultural settlements as a result, the issue of how to observe Shmita came to the fore. Most of the original colonies were funded and managed by Baron Edmund De Rothschild, and he and his managers weren't too keen on having the farmers disengage from agricultural activities for an entire year. The leaders of the Chovevei Zion movement sought a way to resolve the issue and the original 'Heter Mechira' was formulated. With the tacit support of Rav Yitzchak Elchanan Spektor, the land was sold to a non-Jew for the duration of the shmita year. Most of the colonies availed themselves of the Heter Mechira. The Ekron-Mazkeret Batya settlement decided to follow the ruling of the Jerusalem rabbinate and observe shmita in its ideal form. The Baron and his managers saw this as a revolt, and accused them of being lazy, but they held steadfast. The ensuing tension and struggle would set the stage for both shmita observance as well as the overall religious-secular tensions of the Yishuv for decades to come.   For sponsorship opportunities about your favorite topics of Jewish history contact Yehuda at:  yehuda@yehudageberer.com   Subscribe To Our Podcast on:    PodBean: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/   Follow us on Twitter or Instagram at @Jsoundbites You can email Yehuda at yehuda@yehudageberer.com

Yishuv Eretz Yisroel (Mattos-Massei 5781)

Yishuv Eretz Yisroel (Mattos-Massei 5781)

Presenting a new Shiur that mines ancient texts for illuminating new understanding and relevance!The following is a letter from Rabbi Kivelevitz the host of the program.Shalom Ubracha-It is quite unnecessaryto state here how stressful the last few months have been.AsKlal Yisroel places an immeasurable value on learning and intellectual growth, many of us have weathered this storm by entrenching ourselves deeper into our rich literary heritage, discovering insight and inspiration and using the pause of hustle bustle activity to savor new texts and articulate probing questions. The tools of teleconferencing have generated thebrachaof wide attendance inShiurimand access to the world's finest Torah teachers. Energized by these positives, I am humbly offering to partner with all of you on a venture of discovery.Over twenty-five years ago, I listenedwith rapt attention as Professor Haym Soloveichick eulogized his father. He said theRambam,Maimonides, was theGirsa DaYankusaof his father, which the prodigygrew up memorizing like nursery rhymes, with all ofMishna Torahetched in his memory and flowing easily from his lip.However,it wasin that otherMoshe, Nachmanides,that the elder Soloveichickdiscovered his intellectual approach and soul.It can be assumed that Rav Soloveichick's flowering as the premier Talmudist of our times was built in great part by contrasting the words of each of these Medieval teachers in areas they had both worked on, or whereRambanlevels his often withering criticism ofRambam's position.There are scores of examples throughout Shas,and in particular in the work Nachmanides dedicated to staking his disagreements with his Egyptian counterpart-Hasagosto theRambam'sSefer HaMitzvos.In his classic toweringPerushonChumash,Rambanforcefully attacks many ofRambam's explanations ofmitzvosand interpretations of biblical events.In the coming weeks, we can together discover anew these diamond like gems ofcodification, inquiry analysis and poetic barbsthat issued from these giants.....-armed with the salient texts, and buoyed by an enthusiasm to discover, I relish the prospect of learning with you.

Rabbis Kivelevitz and Bechhofer -respond to listeners' comments and critique of Rischa Daraiisa 23 where halachic and sociological rationale was offered for not moving to Eretz Yisroel.The conversation becomes quite heated with the Rabbis arguing over the meaning of the Ramban and Rabbeinu Chaim Kohen's positions.Whether Rav Moshe Feinstein's defense of the Rambam's reason for not counting Yishiv Eretz Yisroel as a Mitzvah, is considered a sufficient explanation for the entrenchment of Diaspora Jewry is similarly debated.The Rabbis agree on why Tzitzis,despite being a Mitzvah Kiyimus ,has been virtually accepted as if it is binding on all males.Kivelevitz elaborates why a similar mindset has not taken root for living in Eretz Yisroel.Bechhofer's insistence on a person pursuing the status of a Mashpia,and staying in the place where they are being marbitz Torah, is countered by Kivelevitz by the examples of Rav Elyashiv Zt''l and Rav Chaim Kanyevski Shlita who shunned public positions.The pair discuss the differences and risks between youthful and older immigrants to Eretz Yisroel with scientific data indicating how risky a move at a later age can be if not buoyed by support from an institution or a healthy retirement fund.Bechhofer puts Kivelevitz on the defensive for being evasive and equivocal in his own explanation of why he hasn't picked up stakes and headed Mizrach,at one point comparing him to former President Bill Clinton.He further assails him for harboring over romantic delusions of grandeur for thinking that he would have written important scholarly works had he lived in Eretz Yisroel through the years.Kivelevitz reminds his co-host how the ultimate imperatives of constant Torah study and Dveikus to God are more accessible in that environment.and how he is certain that he would have discovered kindred spirits and mivakshei daas who shared his love of honest textual analysis.Reading from his letter to another listener,Kivelevitz states, "...despite the uglypolarizationthat seems to perpetuate exponentially into the social fabric of the Medinah,a strong unifying senseof shared victim hood consistently rises to the top during crisis and reveals greater bonds.....cogent Limud HaTorah will always shatter partitions and make externals irrelevant..."Please leave us a review or email us at ravkiv@gmail.comTo find out more about our podcastsvisityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In the 1930's the ideological divides between the Revisionist and Labor Zionists grew, and cracks began to appear within the community of the Yishuv. Meanwhile, pressure on European Jewry was increasing with the rise of Nazi Germany. When you put these two processes together, the potential is nothing short of explosive.

The 1930's saw the hate triangle of Arabs, British and Jews explode into an unprecedented scale of violence known as the Arab Revolt. The revolt brought on yet another cycle of repression and political concessions, and it split the Jews of the Yishuv over the question of whether restraint or retaliation was the proper response to Arab violence. Meanwhile, as violence spirals in the land of Israel, and Jews argue with one another, the darkness of Nazi Germany has begun to cast its shadow over Europe.

Patterns are hard things to break, and we can learn much about ourselves by how they come about. Here is a look at the cycle of riots which rocked the Yishuv in the 1920's, and set the mold for Arab/Jewish relations for decades to come.
