Researcher of the Russian Jewish community and scientific advisor to the Israeli Ministry of Immigration, whose research Shtetl Colonialism: First and Last Impressions of Indigeneity by Colonised Colonisers uses as the present-day end of its continuity argument on exclusion of Palestinian citizens (Shtetl Colonialism: First and Last Impressions of Indigeneity by Colonised Colonisers, PDF p.8 / printed p.46).

Details

  • Pappé describes him as an official academic par excellence and summarises his comprehensive research as showing that the vast majority of Jewish immigrants from the former Soviet Union subscribe to the dominant view among Jews in Israel about the need to exclude the Palestinian citizens of Israel from the common public good (PDF p.8).
  • Cited in note 10 to Haaretz, 07/07/11 (PDF p.19 / printed p.57). The connecting thread Pappé draws from Hanin’s settlers to the Second Aliya is that both came from the same part of the world and share the wish to establish an exclusive Jewish state over much of Palestine (PDF p.8-9).
