No Surrender to the USA!

This is the third of a four-part series; click here for part one and here for part two.
Who by Radiation?

1 week ago | loveoftheland.substack.com | Alex Stein

This is the second in a four-part series. For part one, click here. Although the atomic bomb was ultimately used on Japan, the Manhattan Project was primarily driven by the fear that the Germans might get there first. After late 1944, though, when German defeat became inevitable, the focus switched to Japan.
Who by Fire?

1 week ago | loveoftheland.substack.com | Alex Stein

The dropping of two atomic bombs by the United States on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki remains one of the most controversial events of the twentieth century. They were preceded by the firebombing of Tokyo, an attack that was in many ways even more destructive.
Arabizing the Land

2 weeks ago | loveoftheland.substack.com | Alex Stein

Unlike the Hebraization of the land, there were no committees involved in its Arabization. In History of Cartography, J.B. Harley and David Woodward write that “mapmaking was one of the specialized intellectual weapons by which power could be gained, administered, given legitimacy and codified.” This wasn’t the case with the Islamic conquerors, though, who projected power in other ways.
(Re) Hebraizing the Land

2 weeks ago | loveoftheland.substack.com | Alex Stein

The story of the old-new renaming of the land begins with the Palestine Exploration Fund (PEF), who between 1872 and 1878 mapped Palestine “from Dan to Beersheba,” collecting around 9,000 places names and names of geographical features. Like others before them, they realized that the study of Arabic place-names was the key to identifying ancient sites – as we’ll see in the second part of this article, in many cases the Arabic name preserved the earlier Hebrew.
This Land is Our Land?

3 weeks ago | loveoftheland.substack.com | Alex Stein

Throughout Jewish history, the ‘Land of Israel’ has always been a fluid concept. While the Bible never uses the term, it does refer to territory that is promised to Abraham and his descendants by God, offering several different formulations:Raise your eyes and look out from where you are, to the north and south, to the east and west, for give you all the land that you see to you and your offspring forever.
The Problem with the Protests

3 weeks ago | loveoftheland.substack.com | Alex Stein

It shouldn’t need repeating, but the right to protest is a core aspect of the democratic system. It’s false to claim that democracy means casting one’s vote every four years and then shutting up. When someone makes this argument, I usually ask for their views on the anti-Oslo or anti-disengagement protests, to which the response is usually silence or shifting the goalposts, proof that the person’s objection is to the currentanti-government protests rather than protests in general.

Rebecca Laitflang is a postdoctoral fellow from Shillong in Meghalaya (northeast India) at the Hebrew University, where she researches India-Israel relations. Her interest in Israeli culture and society began while volunteering as a nurse aide at a senior citizens’ home in Haifa from 2017 to 2019. In 2020, she returned to study Modern Hebrew and enrol in the Israel Studies program.
Issue #4: "This Time" by Alex M. Stein

1 month ago | inaflashlitmag.substack.com | Alex Stein

When I read the first line of this piece, I knew it was a love story gone wrong and wanted to know why. That the dream recurred “from time to time” and followed the same pattern of recrimination and guilt intrigued me. I’ve always been fascinated by dreams and during COVID, I stumbled upon a dream class on Zoom with Dr. Art Funkhouser, a Jungian analyst in Berne, Switzerland.
The Saga of the Signage

Hi everyone - a bit of housekeeping. First of all, premium subscribers will still get two exclusive pieces per month, but without the ‘bonus monthly essay’ framing. Second, I’m taking a break for the next week or so, so the publication schedule this month will be one piece the week of April 6th, two pieces the week of April 13th (Chol Hamoed Pesach), two pieces the week of April 20th, and one piece the week of April 27th (when it’s Yom HaZikaron/Yom Haatzmaut).
