All right - then. Lad os kikke lidt på, hvad der kan læses på
Wikipedia om dette område. Jeg skal forsøøge at gøre det så kort og
hurtigt overskueligt som muligt.
Kvinden nævner nogle navne på særlige lokaliteter. Jeg skal fortælle
med det samme - jeg har været der selv.
Men lad os først kikke på: hvilke områder fik Israel af FN. Og hvilke
områder blev tildelt arabiske populationer.

Som vi kan se befinder området sig i de landområder, der _ikke_ var en
del af det Israel, der blev defineret i 1947.
Rosh Pinna
(Hebrew: ר×ש ×¤× ×”â€Ž, lit. Cornerstone, alternate spelling: Rosh Pina)
was one of the first modern Jewish agricultural settlements in history
of the Land of Israel, then part of the Turkish Ottoman Empire.
Rosh Pinna was established near the Arab village of al-Ja'una, which
existed until 1948.
In 1883, it became the first Jewish settlement in the Land of Israel
to come under the patronage of the Baron Edmond James de Rothschild.

The first modern Jewish settlement in the Galilee, Gei Oni, was
founded in 1878 by Jews from Safed, some of whom were descended from
Spanish Jews exiled in 1492. However it was abandoned after three
years of drought. A year later, in 1882, a group of Romanian Jews
built the first lasting settlement in the Galilee and named it Rosh
Pinna, or cornerstone, after Psalm 118:22: "The stone which the
builders refused is become the head stone of the corner." Then in 1884
Baron Edmond de Rothschild sponsored the settlement and made it the
administrative center for his holdings.[citation needed]
Laurence Oliphant collected funds for the settlement from
Christadelphians and other sympathizers in Britain.[3] He wrote about
his visit to Rosh Pinna in 1886, "Jauna, which was the name of the
village to which I was bound, was situated about three miles (5 km)
from Safed, in a gorge, from which, as we descended it, a magnificent
view was obtained over the Jordan valley, with the Lake of Tiberias
lying three thousand feet below us on the right, and the waters of
Merom, or the Lake of Huleh, on the left. The intervening plain was 3.
rich expanse of country, only waiting development. The new colony hall
been established about eight months, the land having been purchased
from the Moslem villagers, of whom twenty families remained, who lived
on terms of perfect amity with the Jews.
Al-Ja'una was mentioned in the 1596 Ottoman census as being a village
in the nahiya (subdistrict) of Jira, under the liwa' (district) of
Safad, with a population of 171. Villagers paid taxes on wheat,
barley, olives, goats, beehives, and a powered mill.[3]
In the late 19th century, the village was described as being built of
stone, on the slope of a hill, whose 140-200 residents cultivated fig
and olive trees.[1][4] There were two springs in a wadi, south of the
village.[1] A mosque and an elementary school for boys was established
in the village in Ottoman times.[4]
The settlement of Ro’sh Pinna is located to the southeast of the
village site. It was first established in 1878 on land purchased from
the villagers of al-Ja’una but has expanded over the years to now
include part of the former village land of Al-Ja'una.[4]
The old road leading to SafadLaurence Oliphant visited Rosh Pinna and
Al-Ja'una in 1886, and wrote; "Jauna, which was the name of the
village to which I was bound, was situated about three miles (5 km)
from Safed, in a gorge, from which, as we descended it, a magnificent
view was obÂtained over the Jordan valley, with the Lake of Tiberias
lying three thousand feet below us on the right, and the waters of
Merom, or the Lake of Huleh, on the left. The intervening plain was a
rich expanse of country, only waitÂing development. The new colony had
been established about eight months, the land having been purchased
from the Moslem villagers, of whom twenty families remained, who lived
on terms of perfect amity with the Jews."[5]
The inhabitants of the village who were entirely Arab, were employed
in agriculture or construction. The population remained in the range
of 140-200 throughout the 19th century. In 1931 the population totaled
799, and by 1945 totaled 1,150. Al-Ja'una was situated on a 839 dunam
area, 824 of which owned by Arab families, 7 by Jewish families, and 8
public; 172 dunams of the village fields were irrigated (1944–45).
Main crops cultivated by the village were olives, grapes, figs, and
grain.[citation needed]
1948 Arab-Israeli war, depopulation, and aftermath
To the right: the top of "The American House", built by a Al-Ja'una
villager who had worked in AmericaThe village was depopulated during
the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. According to Israeli historian Benny
Morris, the evacuation of the residents of al-Ja’una occurred some
time before 2 May 1948, although he has somewhat contradicted this by
also documenting that the actual depopulation took place one week
later, on 9 May, coinciding with the final attack on Safad.[6]
At midnight on 5/6 June 1949, the remaining villagers in Al-Ja'una
(together with those of Al-Khisas and Qaytiyya) were surrounded by
Israeli Defence Force units, who then forced the villagers into trucks
“with brutality . . - with kicks, curses and maltreatment…“ (in the
words of Knesset member and Al HaMishmar editor Eli’ezer Pra’i) and
dumped them on a bare hillside near the village of ‘Akbara.[7] When
questioned about the expulsions, Ben-Gurion responded that he found
the military reasons for the evictions "sufficient".[8] ‘Akbara served
as a "dumping spot" for the "remainders" from various depopulated
Palestinian villages, and its conditions were to remain bad for years.

Walid Khalidi, writing in 1992 about the remains of Al-Ja'una, stated:
"The settlement of Ro’sh Pinna occupies the village site. Many of the
houses remain; some are used by the residents of the settlement; other
stone houses have been abandoned and destroyed."
