The Flag March and the Abraham Accords

4 days ago | loveoftheland.substack.com | Alex Stein

I haven’t written anything about the Jerusalem Flag March before because I try to avoid topics about which there’s nothing new to say. In this case, the scenes of teenagers and young men marching through the Muslim Quarter chanting ‘Death to Arabs’ and other similar songs are appalling and obvious indefensible. Nor does the “few bad apples” claim hold up to scrutiny.
From Foe to Friend

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

The story of Bedouin-Israeli relations in the south during the War of Independence defies the simple narratives of Arab-Jewish conflict. Rather than forming a monolithic front against the emerging Jewish state, the Negev Bedouin tribes made independent decisions based on tribal interests, local conditions, and assessments of the war’s likely outcome. Several major Bedouin tribes ultimately aligned themselves with Israel, becoming valuable allies in securing the Negev for the Jewish forces.

How Will the War End?

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

It’s been said that “it’s easier to imagine an end to the world than an end to capitalism” and we’ve now reached the stage where it’s easier to imagine an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict than an end to the war in Gaza, which has continued to defy predictions about its duration and resolution.
Four Ways of Remembering October 7

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

There’s no sign in the shelter describing what happened here, just pictures and messages scrawled on the walls. One says it all: “DEAR HERSH, YOU DID STAY STRONG, YOU WERE SURVIVING. WE’RE SO SORRY. MAY YOUR MEMORY BE FOR A REVOLUTION.” Here, on Route 232, the ‘Road of Death,’ across from Kibbutz Re’im, Hamas terrorists threw numerous grenades into the shelter where escapees from the Nova Festival were hiding.

Settling the Lowlands

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

While most of the post-independence Jewish communities in the Galilee were built at an altitude of 250 meters or more (the same altitude as most Arab communities in the area), most Jewish settlements during the First and Second Aliyah (1881 – 1914) were built in the valleys and plains. Why? First, we need to understand the Ottoman land system on the eve of modern Zionism.
The View from the Throne Villages

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

In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Ottoman rule weakened because of the failed siege of Vienna (1683), and the Treaties of Karlowitz (1699) and Kucuk Qaynarca (1774). This resulted in decentralization throughout the empire, with local sheikhs and chieftains becoming responsible for tax collection and protection. Examples of this phenomenon include the Deys in Algeria, the Beys in Tunisia, the Mahdiya in Sudan, the Wahabis in Arabia, and the Ma’nis and the Shihabis in Lebanon.
Book Review | Forgotten Searching for Palestine’s Hidden Places and Lost Memorials

1 month ago | fathomjournal.org | Alex Stein |Yossi Halevi

Forgotten: Searching for Palestine’s Hidden Places and Lost Memorials, the new book by Raja Shehadeh and Penny Johnson, enters the world at a time when, in the aftermath of 7 October and the war in Gaza, the Israel-Palestine debate is more polarised than ever. Israelis are accused of being settler colonisers, while Palestinians are accused of being a fictitious people.
The Houthi Strategem

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

If you want a picture of the future of the Arab-Israeli Conflict, George Orwell might have written, imagine a single missile being fired daily from Yemen to Israel – forever. This has been the Houthi strategy since they joined the war on 19 October 2023, a paradox of futility and menace, revealing that their war is not about Palestinian liberation but Arab-Islamic supremacy.
