Summary

The modern country of Israel is a country of immigrants, and many are Mizrahi, ie Jews from North Africa and the Middle East. They came, often running for their lives, from countries like Yemen, Morocco, Iraq, Egypt, and Syria, where they had lived -- and often, been oppressed. In this episode, Noam confronts the difficult history of the Mizrahi integration into Israel, and the formation of the Panterim Shchorim movement that emerged from that painful period. ~~~~ Unpacking Israeli History is generously sponsored by Alan Fisher and Barbara Sommer, and Jon and Rachie Teller. ~~~~ Learn more about Unpacked: https://jewishunpacked.com/about/ Visit Unpacked on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/unpacked See more about the Yemenite Children Affair: https://unpacked.education/the-yemenite-children-affair-unpacked/ See more on Mizrahi culture: https://unpacked.education/video/mizrachi-music/ https://unpacked.education/video/how-mizrahi-music-took-over-israeli-pop/ See the full season of Unpacking Israeli History here: https://jewishunpacked.com/podcast-series/unpacking-israeli-history/ ~~~~ Sources https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/immigrants-to-israel-1948-1952 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vA2q9yyLlX4https://www.haaretz.com/jewish/1.5280465 https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt21h4xqw.9?seq=1#metadata_info_tab_contentshttps://www.haaretz.com/jewish/1.5280465https://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3316015,00.html https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-this-haifa-quarter-symbolizes-dispossession-first-of-palestinians-then-of-jews-1.8187863 https://www.jta.org/1960/01/22/archive/leader-of-haifa-riots-released-from-jail-under-presidential-amnesty https://books.google.com/books?id=YxJbEgx6X8kC&pg=PA29#v=onepage&q=Musrara&f=falsehttps://www.pbs.org/hueypnewton/actions/actions_platform.html https://sci-hub.se/https://doi.org/10.5325/studamerjewilite.35.1.0077 https://www.jta.org/1969/02/24/archive/jerusalem-supersol-re-opens-for-business-2-young-bombing-victims-are-buried https://web.archive.org/web/20071227064213/http://news.independent.co.uk/people/obituaries/article3284869.ecehttps://sci-hub.se/https://doi.org/10.1080/17541320802063554https://sci-hub.se/https://doi.org/10.1177/0044118X84016002002 https://www.nli.org.il/en/newspapers/dav/1971/03/04/01/article/20/?e=-------en-20--1--img-txIN%7ctxTI--------------1https://reuters.screenocean.com/record/549772https://israeled.org/israeli-black-panthers/ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:PikiWiki_Israel_15327_Musrara_neighborhood_Jerusalem.jpg http://israelsdocuments.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-black-panthers-arent-nice.html https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium.MAGAZINE-the-guerrilla-filmmaker-who-caught-israel-s-black-panthers-on-tape-1.5975793?lts=1624818943350https://www.haaretz.com/1.4970675 https://electronicintifada.net/content/when-israels-black-panthers-found-common-cause-palestinians/26821 https://people.socsci.tau.ac.il/mu/noah/files/2018/07/Ethnic-origin-and-identity-in-Israel-JEMS-2018.pdf https://www.cjnews.com/perspectives/rise-mixed-ethnicity-israelis~~~~ Unpacked is a division of OpenDor Media
