The Destruction of Old Tiberias, 1948-1949
Keywords:
Old Tiberias, Jewish–Arab relations in Israel, War of Independence (1948 War), Jews of TiberiasAbstract
Israeli and Palestinian scholars have written about the destruction of Arab settlements and the reshaping of the countryside and landscape that took place during and after the 1948 War. Most studies have dealt with the large-scale destruction at the macro-level. I believe, however, that a deeper understanding of the devastation and transformation calls for research at the micro-level. The article attempts to fill the void by analyzing the stages in the destruction of Old Tiberias and tracing the underlying causes. It also discusses the decision making process and its implication for the Jewish inhabitants who remained in the city.
