Overview Of The Israeli Memory Of The Palestinian Refugee Problem, Rafi Nets-Zehngut Jan 2012

Overview Of The Israeli Memory Of The Palestinian Refugee Problem, Rafi Nets-Zehngut

Rafi Nets-Zehngut

This article explores the way in which seven main Israeli institutions presented between 1949 and 2004 the causes for the main historical event of the Israeli-Arab/Palestinian conflict – the 1948 Palestinian exodus, which led to the creation of the Palestinian refugee problem. This is done by analyzing all the publications of three state institutions – the national Information Center, the army (IDF), and the Ministry of Education, and four Israeli-Jewish societal institutions – the research community, 1948 war veterans, NGOs, and newspapers. In addition, findings from a 2008 pubic opinion survey regarding the Israeli-Jewish memory of the exodus are presented. …

Studies Of Israeli/Jewish Scholars Regarding The Palestinian Exodus During The War Of Independence (Hebrew), Rafi Nets-Zehngut

Rafi Nets-Zehngut

מאמר זה מתאר את האופן שבו מחקרים של חוקרים יהודים, מישראל ומחוץ לה, הציגו בין 1949 ל-2004 את הסיבות לעזיבת הפליטים הפלסטינים ב-1948. מתודולוגית, הממצאים מבוססים על ניתוח כל המחקרים שפורסמו במהלך תקופת המחקר כמו גם ראיונות שבוצעו עם חלק מהחוקרים. לפי הממצאים, עד לשלהי שנות ה-70 כל המחקרים של חוקרים מישראל הציגו את הנרטיב הציוני לגבי עזיבת הפלסטינים (עזיבה מרצון עקב קריאת מנהיגים ופחד). ממועד זה חל שינוי ניכר היות ורוב המחקרים של חוקרים אלו הציגו את הנרטיב הביקורתי (שבהמשך כונה לרוב "פוסט ציוני") – חלק מהפלסטינים עזבו מרצון מסיבות שונות בעוד שחלקם גורשו; ומשלהי שנות ה-80 – הרוב …


Internal And External Collective Memories Of Confclits - Israel And The 1948 Palestinian Exodus, Rafi Nets-Zehngut Jan 2012

Internal And External Collective Memories Of Confclits - Israel And The 1948 Palestinian Exodus, Rafi Nets-Zehngut

Rafi Nets-Zehngut

The general category of collective memory of conflicts includes several kinds of memories (e.g., official, autobiographical, and historical – of scholars) that the literature typically discusses as a unified phenomenon. This article demonstrates that each of these kinds of memory comprises two types of submemories: internal (how the holders of a sub-memory actually view the history of a conflict) and external (how they publicly express their views of that history). Empirically, the research is based on an examination of Israeli official, autobiographical, and historical memories from 1949 to 2004 concerning the causes of the 1948 Palestinian exodus. Methodologically, it uses …


The Passing Of Time And The Collective Memory Of Conflicts, Rafi Nets-Zehngut Dec 2011

The Passing Of Time And The Collective Memory Of Conflicts, Rafi Nets-Zehngut

Dr. Rafi Nets-Zehngut (Israel)

Collective memory is a general category that includes various kinds of memories such as popular, official, autobiographical, cultural, and histori- cal (that produced by scholars). The impact of the passing of time on the collective memory of conflicts, despite its importance, is narrowly addressed in the literature. This article addresses that lack. Empirically, the article is based primarily on a study that examined Israeli collective memory from 1949 to 2004 regarding the causes for the 1948 Palestinian exodus. Methodologically, it is based mostly on content analysis of publi- cations of seven main Israeli–Jewish institutions: the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), the …
