Resumen: Este artículo aborda a modo de introducción una historia del terrorismo religioso judío desde el nacimiento del Estado de Israel hasta nuestros días. Centrándose exclusivamente en este fenómeno, enumera y describe cronológicamente los diferentes grupos terroristas religiosos judíos que han actuado en Israel, cada uno en un contexto determinado. Desde el primer grupo autodenominado Brit Hakanaim (pacto de los Zelotes) hasta Bat Ayin, este fenómeno ha causado varias víctimas -menos en comparación con el terrorismo árabe- la mayoría de ellas palestinos y árabes israelíes, aunque también ha habido víctimas entre la población judía israelí. Este texto apunta al denominado mesianismo político como sustrato ideológico y la base intelectual de este fenómeno. Se describe de manera somera algunas de las medidas que el Estado de Israel ha tomado para combatir este terrorismo autóctono. Como conclusión se hace una radiografía del terrorismo religioso judío en comparación con otros fenómenos análogos.Palabras clave: Israel, terrorismo, terrorismo judío, terrorismo religioso, mesianismo.Abstract: This article approaches, as an introduction, a history of Jewish religious terrorism from the birth of the State of Israel to the present day. Focusing exclusively on this phenomenon, it lists and describes chronologically the different Jewish religious terrorist groups that have acted in Israel, each in a given context. From the first group called the Brit Hakanaim to Bat Ayin, this phenomenon has caused a number of victims - far fewer than Arab terrorism - most of them Palestinians and Israeli Arabs, although there have also been casualties among the Israeli Jewish population. The current paper states the so-called political messianic as the ideological substrate and the intellectual basis of this phenomenon. It briefly describes some of the measures that the State of Israel has taken to combat this autochthonous terrorism. As a conclusion, a picture of Jewish religious terrorism is made, in comparison with other similar phenomena.Keywords: Israel, terrorism, Jewish terrorism, religious terrorism, messianic.

Portugal has port, Spain has sherry, Sicily has Marsala –– and California has angelica. Angelica is California's original wine: The intensely sweet, fortified dessert cordial has been made in the state for more than two centuries –– primarily made from Mission grapes, first brought to California by the Spanish friars. Angelica was once drunk in vast quantities, but now fewer than a dozen vintners make angelica today. These holdouts from an earlier age are each following a personal quest for the real. For unlike port and sherry, which have strict rules about their production, angelica never gelled into something so distinct that connoisseurs can say, ““This is angelica. This is not.”” This piece looks at the history of the drink, its foggy origins in the Mission period and on through angelica's heyday and down to its degeneration into a staple of the back-alley wino set. Several current vintners are profiled, and they suggest an uncertain future for this cordial.

Locke was once supposed to have argued that since the colours, sounds, odours, and other ‘secondary’ qualities things appear to have can vary greatly according to the state and position of the observer, it follows that our ideas of the ‘secondary’ qualities of things do not ‘resemble’ anything existing in the objects themselves. And Berkeley has been credited with the obvious objection that similar facts about the ‘relativity’ of our perception of ‘primary’ qualities show that they do not ‘resemble’ anything existing in the objects either, so that both ‘primary’ and ‘secondary’ qualities exist only ‘in the mind’. The falsity of this view of Locke has been amply demonstrated in recent years, but no corresponding revision has been made in what remains the standard interpretation of Berkeley's criticisms of Locke. His objections therefore appear to be based on misunderstanding and to be irrelevant to what is now seen to be Locke's actual view and his reasons for holding it. I think this account of Berkeley, like the old view of Locke, is a purely fictional chapter in the history of philosophy, and in this paper I try to show that Berkeley's criticisms involve no misunderstanding and amount to a direct denial of the view Locke actually held.

In February 1912, thirty-eight American Jewish women founded Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Organization of America. This has become the largest Zionist organization in the diaspora and the largest and most active Jewish women's organization ever. Its history is an inseparable part of the history of American Jewry and of the State of Israel. Hadassah is also part of the history of Jewish women in the United States and in the modern world more broadly. Its achievements are not only those of Zionism but, crucially, of women, and this book pays particular attention to the life stories of the women who played a role in them. The book analyses many aspects of the history of Hadassah. The introductory section describes the contexts and challenges of Hadassah's history from its founding to the birth of the State of Israel. Subsequent sections explore the organization's ideology and its activity on the American scene after Israeli statehood; its political and ideological role in the World Zionist Organization; and its involvement in the new State of Israel in medicine and health care, and in its work with children and young people. The final part deals with topics such as gender issues, comparisons of Hadassah with other Zionist organizations, and the importance of people of the Yishuv and later of Israelis in Hadassah's activities. It concludes with an epilogue that considers developments up to 2005, assessing whether the conclusions reached with regard to Hadassah as an organization remain valid.

The first part of the article invites a fresh look at the often defined concepts of ‘space’ and ‘place’, connecting them to different subject positions, mental frames and projects. The second part addresses memory issues that underlie the political conflict between the state of Israel and Palestinians in the Near East. It will analyse two seemingly incompatible memories related to the same events and topography. The focus of the essay is not only on the divisive force with which two incompatible histories are constructed in the same landscape but also on recent memory practices and performances that raise awareness of this impasse and work towards a more complex and inclusive transnational memory of the entangled history of 1948.

Abstract Adel Manna’s Nakba and Survival: The Story of the Palestinians Who Remained in Haifa and the Galilee, 1948–1956 appeared in Arabic and Hebrew in 2016–2017. Manna’s book gives voice to the experience of the first generation of Palestinians living within the State of Israel. Here, four scholars of Palestinian and Israeli history review Nakba and Survival and weigh its importance for reckoning with the entangled history of the creation of Israel and the related dispossession of Palestinians during and after 1948.
