Abstract:

 This issue of the Israeli Affairs Journal focuses on “Joint Political Actions of Arabs and Jews in Israel”.The issue deals with many controversial matters in the midst of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The issue incorporates eight articles, of which six are themed around the achievements, impacts and impediments of, and to, Arab–Jewish joint political actions in Israel. In addition, themed articles explore bi-national and international struggle, while the advantages and disadvantages of joint political actions are also discussed. Finally, an article is presented that explores Zochrot (memories) experience in the context of challenging the exclusive definition of the state of Israel as a “Jewish-only” state.
Two themed exclusive and in-depth interviews are featured in this issue. One with Prof. Tamar El-Or, an Israeli sociologist, and a leading researcher and specialist in the ultra-orthodox Jewish community’s affairs. She believes that “what is now present to Israel is the question of when will the occupation end, not whether it will last so long”. The second interview is with Mr. Benny Ziffer, an Israeli author and journalist, who expounds his views on the impact of culture on Israel’s reality and other issues.
Also in this issue new studies entitled “New Jerusalem” and “The Third Temple: an idea on the verge of implementation” are presented. In addition, a critical engagement to Chaim Ganz’s book “On the Justice of Zionism” is included in this issue.
The Zionist archive section of this issue features an exclusive translation of an article by an Israeli politician, journalist and philosopher, Ze’ev Jabotinsky. The article is entitled “A Personal Opinion”, through which he conveys his opposition to the establishment of the Hebrew University in 1920. He feared that the university would become a spiritual Jewish centre and not part of the active political Zionism on the ground. His vision was for the university to become a higher education institution producing the elites and professionals that would support the Zionist project.
Finally, this issue includes a collection of recent book reviews, as well as a library.
