ABSTRACT Though forming having taken an active part in the Sinai and Palestine campaigns of the World War I, the Bedouin tribes are rarely mentioned. This is due in part to the scarcity of documentation, especially having none from the Bedouins themselves. This article seeks to fill in some of the gaps in the research on the war in the Sinai Peninsula and southern Palestine, and to examine the contribution of the Bedouin tribes in that area to the Ottoman military campaign. It argues that the Ottoman perception of the Bedouins as a fighting force changed during the war from being seen as force multiplier to being employed only in scout and reconnaissance roles.

ABSTRACT The activity of the Shari’a Court in Israel reflects a complex reality of ‘legal hybridity’. The Muslim tribunal serving the traditional Arab community is influenced by local circumstances and processes of internal change alongside the influence of Western modern culture. As a result, legal rulings and Shari’a terms that may sometimes express conservative perceptions operate alongside general state law that may sometimes reflect other perceptions. In this article, decisions of Shari’a courts in Israel are examined on questions of ‘legal competence’ in a sample of 24 cases from four Israeli local Shari’a courts as well as a couple of decisions from the Shari’a Court of Appeals (between 1993 and 2009). In view of competence being a key legal issue, examining the court decisions on this issue makes it possible to examine the complexity of the application of Israeli law and Shari’a law within a system of courts that on the one hand, are integral to the state’s formal legal system while on the other they see themselves as representatives of the Muslim minority and its culture.

ABSTRACT The social and cultural integration of the Jews into Western society was a central paradigm of modern Jewry. Presently, ideological changes in sectors of ‘progressive’ Western society regarding the Jewish state and the Jews, as well as political and cultural tendencies in Israel, are unsettling the parameters of that paradigm, bringing up new tensions between non-Jews and Jews and changing Jewish profiles. Such multifaceted developments should be understood in the framework of the broader tendencies in Jewish history.

ABSTRACT In the wake of the October 1973 war, Moscow sought superpower collaboration that would ensure its participation in the nascent Arab-Israel peace process, but the direct Israeli-Egyptian negotiations that culminated in the September 1978 Camp David Accords foiled this plan. As a result, the Soviets launched a diplomatic offensive against the deal and tried to forge an Arab front to isolate Egypt, only to see Cairo and Jerusalem signing a fully fledged peace treaty in March 1979. Then came the Iran–Iraq war (1980–88) and further shattered Moscow’s Middle Eastern stance as fears of Tehran’s hegemonic designs led to Egypt’s reincorporation into the Arab fold.

ABSTRACT Unearthing a key chapter in the development of Israeli history education, this article explores history-teaching at the Hebrew Reali School in Haifa, one of Israel’s foremost schools, in the wake of the 1973 Yom Kippur War and against the backdrop of attempts made by the Ministry of Education to reform history education in Israel. It shows that in the context of the great social changes that occurred in Israeli society, Reali history teachers felt that their primary mission was to ensure that their students remained closely connected to their collective past.

echoes in major respects the accounts of other prominent historians. He traces in meticulous (and often excruciating) detail the path taken by the conflict, from its beginnings in the Galilee to its climax in Judea to its close in perhaps the most ‘celebrated’ single event of the fighting, the Roman siege of the mountain fortress of Masada. Nor does Rogers’ account depart noticeably in major respects from these other accounts in regard to the outcome of the revolt, particularly insofar as concerns the replacement of a ‘temple-centric’ Judaism by a ‘text-centric’ Judaism. He does part company with his peers, however, when it comes to speculating about the inevitability of the revolt’s course and consequences. Many of his colleagues strongly imply, if they do not say so explicitly, that the Jewish rebels had no chance of victory against the Roman Empire, that their cause was doomed from the very start. Rogers contends, to the contrary, that the rebels might well have achieved a measure of success in the revolt – in the form of enhanced autonomy for Judea, though probably not genuine independence from Rome – had they been better at strategy, tactics and logistics. The rebels, he correctly observes, never had a coherent and effective plan for confronting the Roman Empire, whilst the empire surely did have such a plan for confronting them. Regardless of whether one agrees with what is certain to be a controversial view, Rogers’ account of the first (but not the last) cataclysmic Roman–Jewish war offers superb insight into a fateful conflict, not only for Romans and Jews but also for the entire world. His book is most heartily recommended to anyone, scholar and layperson alike, who has an interest in the troubled relationship between the Roman Empire and the Jewish people.

ABSTRACT This article examines the conceptual elements of antisemitism in Bulgaria today as well as the ways in which these concepts are communicated linguistically and visually. It seeks to provide an insight into different aspects of antisemitism – from direct manifestations to attempts at rewriting or distorting the history of Bulgaria’s Jewry. The IHRA definition is used for the identification of antisemitic manifestations, from classical stereotypes (power, greed, etc.) to more contemporary attributions (Israel-related antisemitism such as instrumentalisation of the Holocaust, Nazi analogy, denial of Israel’s right to exist).
