ABSTRACT This article discusses the ‘love of humanity’ value and its meanings in Hebrew-language and literature school readers (textbooks) in state elementary schools, grades 2–6, from 1954 to the present day. The changes that took place over seven decades reflect educational and sociocultural developments in Israel and the world, as manifested in three central aspects: (a) Definition of the ‘Other’; (b) The types of texts chosen by policymakers or editors; and (c) The value-based educational approach.

ABSTRACT This article analyzes the representations of rural and urban cultural landscapes in the primary educational tool during Israel’s formative decades – Mikraot Israel readers – in an attempt to provide a better understanding of the overt and tacit messages intended for the target audience. By way of doing so, the article proceeds along two main axes: a) The ideological tension between frontier/periphery and the centre/city; and b) A historic-chronological exploration of the different representations throughout Israel’s history. Finally, the article compares between original and translated literature.

Zionists quickly endorsed the majority report, with its larger Jewish state. In the chapter on the roles and attitudes of the different committee members, Ben-Dror uses as a title the description by Guatemala’s representative Jorge García-Granados of the committee members’ personal views, ‘eleven committees of one man each’, and the author summarises each individual view and the proliferation of such incautious ideas as that for the establishment of two Jewish states, one in Palestine and the other in Italian Somalia. Ben-Dror concludes with a discussion of superpower behaviour in respect of UNSCOP. He remarks that ‘everyone involved in UNSCOP’ believed that the USSR ‘was pulling strings behind the scenes to influence the committee’s decisions’. The Americans, too, were certainly active. These attempted manipulations led to questions about the independence of even the most independent of the committee members, Swedish chairman Justice Emil Sandström, and demonstrates the representatives’ mindfulness of the different opinions and policies of their own governments and of the great powers. The author wrote that he hopes UNSCOP and the Arab–Israeli Conflict will ‘give UNSCOP the place it deserves, as the real engine of the UN partition resolution’ (6). Ben-Dror’s book eloquently accomplishes this task by showing how the inevitable partition of Palestine was formalised in the UNSCOP-influenced UN Resolution to create an Arab and a Jewish state, a resolution taken with the great powers' unrelenting interference.

ABSTRACT This article examines latent ideologies in the teaching of health and cleanliness in the Israeli educational system. It compares second-grade school readers before and after the turn of the millennium, posing three questions: What pedagogical approaches were used in both periods to instil the values of health and cleanliness? In what ways have the topics of health and cleanliness changed over time? How has the teaching of these topics acknowledged diversity with respect to ethnicity and skin tone in each period? The findings reveal a significant shift from an education based on fear to one based on safety, from colourism to inclusiveness, and from particularism to universalism. However, the findings also indicate that prioritising universalism over multiculturalism in new readers may overlook the diverse and complex nature of Israeli society and potentially uphold existing social hierarchies and enhance a sense of alienation among children.

as he himself candidly acknowledges. That said, at least one general conclusion immediately stands out on the basis of the information highlighted by the author. Whilst Israel has thus far been reasonably efficient in defending itself against Iran and its proxies, countering their efforts to harm the country in the short term through military and intelligence operations of different kinds, the Jewish state has thus far not been able to prevent them from steadily upgrading their capabilities to inflict such harm in the long term. Whilst Israel has thus far disrupted the Iranian nuclear and ballistic missile programmes from time to time, it has not been able to prevent the Islamic Republic from making progress towards achieving its ultimate objectives here: the production of a nuclear weapon and a reliable delivery system for that weapon, respectively. And, whilst Israel has battered Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other Iranian proxies from time to time, it has not been able to prevent these proxies from continuing to improve their military capabilities, particularly insofar as concerns their capabilities to launch rocket/missile attacks on the Israeli home front. Eilam’s monograph, in short, delivers a very useful introduction to the Israeli–Iranian conflict. Anyone with an interest in this conflict, professional or layperson alike, is sure to benefit by giving due consideration to his work.

Or Hareuveny, Yehuda Blanga
ABSTRACT As a close ally of Shah Muhammad Reza Pahlavi, Israel participated in the September 1974 Asian Games – the ‘Asian Olympics’ – that were held in Tehran. Among the 18 sports in which athletes competed, football attracted the most attention, especially after Iran’s historic victory over Israel in the AFC Asian Cup in 1968. As both countries reached the final of the Games’ football tournament, the match came to be seen by Iranians as nothing short of war. Standing in stark contradiction to the close and multifaceted relations between Jerusalem and the monarchical regime, this public attitude was lost on Israeli decisionmakers in what foreshadowed the failure to anticipate the Islamic revolution and the attendant collapse of Iranian-Israeli relations five years later.
