"Gaza Is the Horror That Can't Be Denied. But Israelis Will Try"

"Headlines have shifted to Iran, but Israel is still starving, bombing and expelling the population of northern Gaza. While Israeli society as a whole has activated its denial mode, the horrifying images – and the policy, statements and reality behind them – are causing some Israelis to protest war crimes, or even utter the word genocide"

Trigger warning – and be grateful for it, because I didn't have one last week when a photo of a girl with half a head appeared on my feed one morning. Her fuzzy pink wrap was almost indistinguishable from the part that was once inside her head, now splayed out around her body. Her face, however, was mostly preserved, her frozen eyes half-closed and yet gazing back at me.

No matter how much photographic, eyewitness and real-time documentation we see, the battle over the truth rages full force. And nothing inflames the debate more than the word "genocide."

For Palestinians, genocide is a descriptive fact – anything else is a lie. For international courts, it is a legal convention, the International Court of Justice is deliberating South Africa's charges, according to a high bar of evidence, while ruling that Palestinians have a plausible right to be protected under that convention. For many Israelis, the word is an antisemitic plot and a lie.

Israel's government already flatly denies lesser charges – war crimes, ethnic cleansing, a second Nakba. But the worse things get in northern Gaza, the more Israeli society activates its long-term modes of denial.

Denying history in the future

Nations rarely want to face their crimes. Israel has made long and elaborate efforts over the years to deny it worst deeds. It's already clear how this will work in the years and decades to come when thinking about the present.

Israel's leadership classified the archives related to the Nakba during the War of Independence, while David Ben-Gurion painstakingly cultivated the idea that most Palestinians left at their leaders' instruction, according to the historian Shay Hazkani. Archives were declassified, scholars pieced together terrible truths, and Israel reclassified the material.

Fellow academics unleashed smear campaigns and interviewees retracted their testimonies to Teddy Katz, whose master's thesis chronicled a massacre by Israeli forces at Tantura in 1948 (that story is captured in an astonishing, eponymous film). The proto-fascist group Im Tirtzu ran a "Nakba-Bullshit" campaign in 2011.

In recent years, denial efforts often focus on individual cases, picking apart tiny details to prove Israel's innocence – hoping this adds up to a bigger picture exonerating the occupation at large. Examples of these micro-denials include a cottage industry that emerged over years to prove that 12-year-old Mohammed al-Dura was not killed by Israeli fire in 2000, during the second intifada; or the IDF denials that it had killed Jawaher Abu Rahma with tear gas in 2011, and any number of others.

Justification is another denial strategy, and it's not unique to Israel. "There is no crime, absolutely none, that cannot be condoned when 'our' side commits it," wrote George Orwell in 1945, before Israel existed. He wrote that nationalists in general employ "flagrant dishonesty" and self-deception.

Fabrication of motives happens too: In 2017, Israeli police claimed it killed the Bedouin Israeli Yakub Abu al-Kiyan because he was an Islamic State terrorist who tried to commit a car-ramming attack; he wasn't, and he didn't. If a terrible incident is wrongly attributed to Israel – such as the explosions at the Al-Ahli hospital early in the war, most likely by misfired munitions from Palestinian militias – this is leveraged as proof that Israel is innocent in all other cases.

Too terrible to admit

Denialism kicks in when events are too terrible to admit. Headlines have shifted to Iran, but Israel is still starving, bombing and expelling the population of northern Gaza. Many suspect it is implementing the "General's Plan," which seeks to empty northern Gaza of Palestinians. Developed by former security officials, the plan orders the exit of 300,000-400,000 civilians, then calls to end humanitarian aid alongside bombardment to destroy remaining combatants – or anyone.

This plan closely complements proposals advocated by the Misgav Institute (close with the Kohelet Policy Forum), calling for an Israeli military government in northern Gaza. Members of the governing coalition, including from the ruling Likud party, supplied the final aim, declaring yet again last week their intention to clear Gaza for revival of Jewish settlement.

Yet denialism is everywhere. Both Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and the IDF spokesperson claimed Israel is not implementing the General's Plan. But officers on the ground in northern Gaza told Haaretz the plan was being implemented openly.

Following months of legal proceedings on a petitions by Israeli nongovernmental organizations for urgent humanitarian relief, the state admitted to the court last week that, indeed, aid was blocked to northern Gaza for weeks but some trucks are now being allowed into Gaza. But the human rights groups observed that trucks cannot reach the northernmost governate, and the north-south route remains mostly blocked. The state pointed to its cooperation with a polio vaccination effort. However, the World Health Organization suspended the campaign in northern Gaza last week due to impossible security conditions.

The IDF says it has expanded the humanitarian zones for Gazans, but Tania Hary, executive director of Gisha, an Israeli NGO working on human rights in Gaza and the petitioner, rejects that term: "There is nothing actually humanitarian about the humanitarian zone ... there's not enough aid or shelter for people there, and airstrikes still take place in the zone," she said in an email. The conditions in Gaza are "fit only for human animals."

She adds: "Calling it the 'humanitarian zone' is a clever way of masking the reality for people who might be troubled if they understood what's really happening there."

The normative environment of suppressing knowledge includes the media. Israeli television news editors have avoided showing the human death toll and misery in Gaza all year, by choice. The Committee for the Protection of Journalists counts 128 journalists killed in Gaza, with 15 cases being investigated for possible deliberate targeting due to their work. Israel has shut down Al Jazeera in the region, foreign journalists are unable to enter Gaza unless embedded with the IDF, and last week Israel marked a number of Gazan journalists as terrorists – presumably building a case for killing them.

To be sure, Israel is not alone in denial. Surveys repeatedly show that nearly 90 percent of Palestinians do not believe atrocities were committed on October 7, for example. Remote keyboard activists in faraway countries have entertained themselves denying Hamas' sexual violence. But right now, it's the Gaza horror that needs to stop.

Unlikely truth warriors

Given these trends, perhaps the most stunning development of all is the waning of denial – as Israeli officials and individuals increasingly declare Israel's plans openly, sometimes proudly.

 

The South African government collected numerous statements by Israeli officials signaling what they argued was genocidal intent in the immediate aftermath of October 7. Yet officials have continued to make them – including Religious Zionism minister Bezalel Smotrich, who said starving Gazans would have been justified, in an August conference devoted to resettling Gaza. Influential media commentators have called for mass killing, including of civilians. IDF units have proudly stated and documented their own actions on social media extolling (and executing) total destruction – easily harvested and chronicled by Drop Site News investigators. It's not clear which is worse – denying these awful aims, or openly admitting them.

 But maybe Israel's fanatics in power are doing the country a service. People of integrity might not see dismembered children on their feeds or televisions. It's harder not to hear your own leaders, your own soldiers, your own family members.

Israeli linguistics professor Idan Landau recently gathered overwhelming documentation available from open sources, and created one of the most damning reports yet about northern Gaza, in Hebrew. His blog is called "Don't die dumb."

Earlier this month, a group of Israelis wrote an open letter calling on the countries of the world to pressure Israel with all possible sanctions, because "we are horrified by the countless war crimes that Israel is committing ... the constant massacres and destruction must be stopped immediately!" Over 3,000 Israelis signed as of this writing.

 That letter was written largely by longtime anti-occupation activists. A different petition is now going around social media groups written by education professionals and democracy activists. They observed the accumulation of evidence of war crimes, starvation, expulsion, the "Israeli media obfuscation of the atrocities," and closed with a plea: "The blood of the children, women, the youth and the elderly of Gaza, who are not Hamas members, will haunt us for generations. We call upon the government of Israel and the IDF: Do not commit war crimes in Gaza." (Disclosure: I have signed this letter.)

Think tanks are publicly debating whether this is genocide. I have had quiet conversations with people not connected to the radical left, who believe that the combination of open statements and actions in northern Gaza fit the definition of genocide.

Ultimately, incremental steps among small pockets of society can't stop the carnage fast enough, but knowing is a start. Israel should spare itself the anguished truth debates for decades to come, and many lives, by ending the war in the present.

Netanyahu misleder om historie - Hva vil han oppnå?

 I et intervju i USA har Netanyahu lagt ut om sentrale deler av historien i området som er FEIL:

"Netanyahu Told Jordan Peterson Arabs Expelled Jews From the Land of Israel – Historians Say He Is Distorting Facts"
(Haaretz 23. desember 2022)

Israelske historikere må i artikkelen korrigere det meste Netanyahu har sagt.

Rimeligvis vet Netanyahu bedre:
Men han må ha en overordnet agenda
Der det skal forsvares det dagens muslimer skal utsettes for.

Netanyahu Told Jordan Peterson Arabs Expelled Jews From the Land of Israel – Historians Say He Is Distorting Facts

In 2015 Netanyahu corrected himself after falsely claiming Hitler decided to exterminate the Jews only after he met with the former mufti Hajj Amin al-Husseini during World War II

Benjamin Netanyahu said earlier this month in an interview with Jordan Peterson in Canada that the Arabs dispossessed and kicked out the Jews from the Land of Israel after they conquered the area in the seventh century C.E. 

A number of historians Haaretz spoke with denied these claims and said Netanyahu's claims are 'amusing', and they misrepresent and distort history.

In an interview on Peterson’s podcast conducted two weeks ago, Netanyahu spoke about his version of the history of the Jews in the Land of Israel.

"For the first two millennia of their 3,500-year history, the Jewish people have lived in the Land of Israel, fought off conquerors, sometimes were conquered but stayed on their land,” said Netanyahu. “The loss of our land actually occurred when the Arab conquest took place in the seventh century.”

The Arabs did something that no other conqueror had done – “they actually started taking land from Jewish farmers. They brought in military colonists that took over the land and gradually over the next two centuries the Jews became a minority in our land. So it is under the Arab conquerors the Jews lost their homeland," said Netanyahu. "The Arabs were the colonialists and the Jews were the dispossessed natives," he added.

Throughout the interview, Netanyahu repeated the narrative that the Arabs expelled the Jews from their historic homeland, and used a number of different words to describe it, including: expelled, dispossessed, kicked out, and threw out.

Historian Dr. Milka Levy-Rubin of the Schechter Institute of Jewish Studies, who specializes in the early Islamic period in Israel, said Netanyahu’s statements are “a mistaken and distorted picture” of history. Prof. Yehoshua Frenkel of the department of Middle Eastern history at the university of Haifa said: “His words are amusing, like a time capsule from before World War I that was forgotten on the shelf.”

Netanyahu made a number of mistakes during the interview: First, he ignored that the Jews had been exiled and suffered from foreign invasions a number of times throughout history before the Islamic conquest. “As for earlier periods, of course during the First Temple period the 10 tribes were exiled from the land, and let us not forget the Babylonian exile, too,” said Levy-Rubin.

“As for the Second Temple period and the Bar Kokhba revolt – the Romans ‘only’ destroyed the temple, burnt down Jerusalem and emptied the entire land of Judea of its Jewish residents. Moreover – they imposed a sweeping ban on Jews entering Jerusalem, a ban that was left standing until the end of the Byzantine period,” added Levy-Rubin. 

She also completely rejected Netanyahu’s claims about the Islamic conquest of the land of Israel: “I am not familiar with any sources showing the exiling of Jews or others from the land during the Arab conquest or of any testimonies of such an expulsion. There is no archaeological evidence that points to destruction or devastation, [in fact] the opposite.”

Frenkel reinforced what Levy-Rubin said and explained that the victory of the Arab tribes over the Byzantines and the growth of Islam did not cause devastation. Not a single archaeological site has signs of destruction and burning, but in fact many testimonies from Eilat to the Golan Heights show continuity, he said.

“At the time, the Muslim interest was to continue and conquer and levy taxes from the local residents. At the first stage of the conquest the Muslim conquerors already preferred generous capitulation and surrender offers over fighting,” added Levy-Rubin.

Not only did the Arabs not expel the Jewish residents, but Frenkel says “the Muslims are the ones who allowed the Jews to return and live in Jerusalem, and the Jews were even [allowed to participate] in the building of the Dome of the Rock, and it seems that in the could also participate in the ritual and service there in the early stages, and they had great influence on the Muslims during the period of the conquest and for decades afterward,” said Frenkel.

Because of the agreements with the occupiers, the residents could remain in place and continue to run their lives as they had until then, "including their religious rituals – without any limitations", said Levy-Rubin. At the same time, these agreements allowed those who wanted to leave to do so along with their property. Only in later periods, from the eighth century and on, were various regulations enforced gradually, which restricted the lives of the non-Muslim population in the public sphere.

Netanyahu also said the Arabs kept the land barren and empty, a “wasteland,” and built just a single new city – Ramle. Levy-Rubin said this claim is distorted too.

The Umayyad Caliphate (from 661 to 750 C.E.) invested a lot in the land of Israel. “First and foremost in Jerusalem – we all know the mosques on the Temple Mount, but also in a lot more places they invested in development, including in Tiberias, the Hebron Hills region, the Negev, and of the course the coastal strip where the Muslims encouraged settlement.”

Netanyahu quoted famous travelers to the Holy Land during the podcast, none less than Mark Twain, who described the land as “a vast wasteland” and “barren” before the Jews returned.

“The fact that the land [of Israel] in general was settled sparsely does not prove anything. There was a continuity of Muslim settlement since the conquest,” said Levy-Rubin. In the interview, Netanyahu attacked the Palestinians for distorting and misrepresenting history, and said it's quite amazing that none of the facts he put forward in his books “has ever been challenged… I make an effort to be very rigorous about the facts,” he said. 

Frenkel added that Netanyahu lectures without getting into or spending too much time on complex facts, but reality is much more complex and not one-dimensional.

In 2015, Netanyahu also distorted other periods of Jewish history, when he said Hitler decided to exterminate the Jews only after he met with the former mufti Hajj Amin al-Husseini during World War II. After drawing criticism, Netanyahu corrected himself.

Earlier this month, Netanyahu said former U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt said “over my dead body” when he was asked why he would not bomb Auschwitz during the Holocaust. In this case too, historians said he was distorting reality and proposing an alternative reality.

 

Sterk melding fra kommentator Aluf Benn i en artikkel i Haaretz 3. mai.
Han kommenterer historielærebøkene i Israel: 

"Israel's Education Ministry Doesn't Deal With Education, Only Hasbara"

 Benn påpeker at i undervisningen er Jesus utelatt:

"The curriculum and textbook that won the content tender, “From the Temple State to the People of the Book,” ignores the most prominent Jew of the period – Jesus. The man and his disciples created right here, from the Galilee and Jerusalem, the most successful and important spiritual movement in all of human history."

Og videre anfører Benn:

"The historical distortion does not stop with Jesus. The curriculum skips over the history of Israel between the completion of the Mishna until the Zionist movement. Poof, 1,700 years have vanished. Muslim rule is out, the Crusaders are out, Saladin did not exist, and 400 years of Ottoman rule evaporated. In the eyes of the Education Ministry, young Israeli men and women do not need to know what happened here. It’s enough for them to learn about Herod, Herzl and Hitler."

1700 år av historien i området er utelatt.
Benn mener man her ikke underviser i historie ... man bedriver hasbara.

Israel's Education Ministry Doesn't Deal With Education, Only Hasbara

Critics of Education Minister Yifat Shasha-Biton’s plans to cancel the matriculation (bagrut) exams in the humanities warn that a generation of ignoramuses and simpletons is being raised here, and they will be channeled into high-tech and real estate, according to the libertarian capitalist vision of the “change government.”

But the debate involves only the learning mechanism and misses the main point: What are they really teaching in high school, and does the Israeli educational system cultivate a broader education, with or without a matriculation exam? Regrettably, the answer is no. The history curriculum for official non-religious state schools is read as a roller coaster of rebirth and destruction, which starts off during the Hasmonean and Herodian kingdoms, stops for the failed rebellions against the Romans, passes through the Jewish communities in the Christian and Muslim civilizations during the Middle Ages, and skips from there to the reawakening of Zionism, to the Nazis and Holocaust, on its way to the founding of Israel and absorption of the new immigrants.

It focuses on the history of the Jews, and other people and religions appear as supporting characters in the plot, which is intended to build an “identity based on Jewish and Zionist values,” in the words of the document from the supervisor for teaching history, Dr. Orna Katz-Atar. So who is missing from the curriculum, who perhaps could undermine these “Jewish and Zionist values?”

 Let’s start in the days of the Second Temple. The curriculum and textbook that won the content tender, “From the Temple State to the People of the Book,” ignores the most prominent Jew of the period – Jesus. The man and his disciples created right here, from the Galilee and Jerusalem, the most successful and important spiritual movement in all of human history. The textbook even mentions Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor who ordered the crucifixion of Jesus – but only in the context of his harassment of the Jews. Early Christianity is not mentioned.

The book was written by Sagi Cohen, and his professional adviser is Prof. Joshua Schwartz from Bar-Ilan University, who studies the history of the Land of Israel in the Roman-Byzantine era – and who has written studies of John the Baptist and of “Jesus, the Material Jew.” In other words, Schwartz understands the importance of Jesus and even earned his living from writing about him.

So how did he give his scientific patronage to a textbook that disappears such a key figure from the story? How is it possible to understand Jewish and Zionist history, and the State of Israel today, without knowing about the Christianity and Islam that followed in its footsteps? Schwartz is acting as a censor who keeps the secrets for himself, and not as a scientist whose role is to impart knowledge.

The historical distortion does not stop with Jesus. The curriculum skips over the history of Israel between the completion of the Mishna until the Zionist movement. Poof, 1,700 years have vanished. Muslim rule is out, the Crusaders are out, Saladin did not exist, and 400 years of Ottoman rule evaporated. In the eyes of the Education Ministry, young Israeli men and women do not need to know what happened here. It’s enough for them to learn about Herod, Herzl and Hitler. What a terrible missed opportunity. After all, in a short trip from almost any point in Israel it is possible to learn on the ground about our fascinating history, and to understand that Richard the Lionhearted and Daher al-Omhaar, the Mamelukes and Suleiman the Magnificent are also part of the Israeli legacy.

But the Education Ministry does not deal with education, only public relations (hasbara) – in passing down the story that the Land of Israel has been Jewish forever, that the Arabs are aliens who appeared out of nowhere, and that Christianity is a European religion which is not connected to this place. If that is what they are teaching in high school, it would be better if Shasha-Biton canceled all the matriculation exams.

Because then, courageous teachers and parents could break the religious and nationalist censorship and tell of the long list of peoples and religions that lived, flourished and fought here. Even the supervisor of history education exposed a crack in the screen of official indoctrination when she cautiously proposed (“may be possible and correct”) to adapt the internal test that will replace the external matriculation exam to the values of the community where the school operates. Who will jump at this subversive opportunity?

20/25990: Innspill til Samfunnsplan Karmøy kommune 2021-2030: Opprette prosjekt innen "Aktiv kulturminne-formidling"

Innspill
Karmøy bør:
1) Opprette et lokalt prosjekt innen "Aktiv kulturminne-formidling"
2) Innpasse og samordne prosjektet med tilsvarende forslag innsendt til Rogaland Fylkes Kulturminneplan
3) Sammen med Rogaland Fylke og Riksantikvaren søke etablert metodikk og struktur for aktiv bruk av QR-kode-metodikk til bruk på skilt og fysiske objekter. - Riksantikvarens "Kulturminnesøk" er en god plattform for en videreutviklet løsning, med hold av relevant oppslagbar informasjon.

Bakgrunn og begrunnelse

Karmøy har en rik historie og denne bør formidles bedre: 

Utfordringen er nettopp det: Formidling-Formidling-Formidling.
Bedre formidling vil styrke lokalkunnskap og identitet både for kommunen, men også for de enkelte lokalsamfunn.
Identitet og tilhørighet er en viktig kultur- og trivselsfaktor for alle årsklasser.

 

En organisering av historisk informasjon som kan være plattform for QR-merking av objekter vil åpne for lokal historieopplevelse og turer med bruk av moderne verktøy som smarttelefon etc. 

Dette er viktige folkehelse-bidrag.

Frivillige innen historie og lokale historielag kan bidra med ressurser og kompetanse.

Dette åpner for lokalt engasjement i strukturerte former. - Rogaland Historielag kan her være en medspiller for koordinert tilsvarende virksomhet i andre historielag.

Betydning for næringsvirksomhet og turisme
I utkast til Karmøy kommunes Samfunnsplan for 2021-2030 nevnes:
"Karmøysamfunnet har skapt en bærekraftig turist-næring, som fremmer kultur- og naturverdi".
Turist-interessen for Karmøy vil øke med moderne løsninger for historieformidling.

Nasjonalt prosjekt innen "Aktiv formidling"

Det er allerede et nasjonalt bibliotekprosjekt innen "Aktiv formidling".

Der er både økonomiske midler og et utdannelsesløp. 

"Bibliotekutvikling.no" sin informasjon om dette for 2022 ligger under Kilde.

Der nevnes spesifikt som en av målsettingene: "Å utvikle metoder for digital formidling".

Et lokalt prosjekt for Karmøy oppfyller derfor nasjonale målsettinger.

Og det kan gi resultater og etablere løsninger og verktøy som har interesse for andre kommuner og lokalsamfunn.

 

Anbefaling

Saksområdet tas med i Samfunnsdelen av kommuneplanen siden det påvirker så mange prioriterte felter.

(Jfr også planens hovedmål 4: "God utdanning" og hovedmål 11: "Bærekraftige byer og lokalsamfunn", samt hovedmål 17: "Samarbeid for å nå målene")

Colin Powell og Picassos "Guernica" - Bør inngå i all historieundervisning

Da Colin Powell skulle holde tale om Irak i FN i 5. februar 2003 ble Picassos bilde der ,"Guernica", tildekket.

Powell døde 18. oktober 2021.

Og i en tankevekkende artikkel i NY Times 23. oktober av Maureen Dowd kommer hun tilbake til denne talen og beskriver aktørene og opptakten til talen:
"Colin Powell and ‘Guernica’"

Denne artikkelen burde være et hovedinnhold i all historieundervisning.
