1. Palestinian Refugees: Why Did they
Leave?

Extract:
The British Mandate urged Arabs and Jews (November 30, 1947- May 14, 1948,
before the outbreak of the war) to evacuate small mixed towns, where they
constituted a minority. Arabs complied, while Jews defied. Consequently, Alan
Cunningham, the British High Commissioner, stated: ?Arabs are leaving the
country with their families in considerable numbers, and there is an exodus from
the mixed towns to the rural Arab centers?The panic of the Arab middle class
persists and there is a steady exodus of those who can afford to leave the
country (December 1947, five months before the 1948/9 War)?.

found in J'lem

A seal impression belonging to a minister of the Biblical King Zedekiah which
dates back 2,600 years has been uncovered completely intact during an
archeological dig in Jerusalem's ancient City of David, a prominent Israeli
archeologist said on Thursday.
The seal impression, or bulla, with the name Gedalyahu ben Pashur, who served as
minister to King Zedekiah (597-586 BCE) according to the Book of Jeremiah, was
found just meters away from a separate seal impression of another of Zedekia's
ministers, Yehukual ben Shelemyahu, which was uncovered three years ago, said
Prof. Eilat Mazar who is leading the dig at the site.
The excavation at the City of David, which is located just outside the walls of
the Old City near Dung Gate, has proven, in recent years, to be a treasure trove
for archeologists.
"On the one hand it is so unexpected to find such a fragile bulla in such harsh
conditions of excavation, while on the other hand it was logical to find
precisely here the bulla of Gedalyahu ben Pashur - only meters away from the
place where we found the bulla of Yehukhal ben Shelemyahu - since these two
ministers are mentioned side by side in the Bible as having served together in
the kingdom of King Zedekiah," Mazar said.
The first bulla was uncovered inside an impressive stone structure, which Mazar
believes is the Palace of David, while the second bulla was found at the foot of
the external wall of the same structure, under a tower that was built in the
days of Nehemiah.
Both of the bullae with the names of the two ministers, measuring 1 cm. in
diameter each, were found among the debris of the destruction of the First
Temple period.
The letters are in ancient Hebrew and are very clearly preserved, Mazar said.
Both ministers are mentioned in the Book of Jeremiah (Jeremiah 38 1-4) along
with two other ministers when they came to King Zedekiah demanding the death of
the prophet Jeremiah for preaching to the besieged city to surrender.
Mazar said it was "absolutely fantastic" to have uncovered the seals "complete
and in perfect condition" after 2,600 years, affording scholars a clear read of
the names that were impressed on them.
"It is not very often that such a discovery happens in which real figures of the
past shake off the dust of history and so vividly revive the stories of the
Bible," she said.
The archeologist, who rose to international prominence for her excavation that
may have uncovered the Biblical palace of King David nearby, has been at the
forefront of a series of back-to-back Jerusalem archeological finds, including
the remnants of a wall from the Biblical prophet Nehemiah, also in the area.
Other Biblical-era bullae were previously found a quarter century ago at the
City of David site. In 1982, the Israeli archeologist Yigal Shiloh discovered a
cache of bullae in a nearby site, including one with the name of Gemaryahu ben
Shaphan - mentioned in the Bible as a minister and scribe during the reign of
King Jehoiakim (608-597 BCE).
The current dig is being conducted on behalf of the Shalem center, a Jerusalem
research institute, and the right-wing City of David Foundation, and was carried
out under the academic auspices of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
