Haifa Museum Exhibit Shows 1948 Arab-Israeli War Narratives
DAILY DOSE | The 1948 Arab-Israeli War feels like a triumph for the Jews who won it and established a country. But what about the Palestinian narrative? This Haifa exhibit is showing the two narratives side-by-side. Our Daniel Campos has the story.
Story:
Haifa — the utopian city with a great reputation of coexistence between Jews and Arabs. For the outside visitor, the story of pain and violence that took place here in 1948 is hard to imagine.
‘Haifa is one of the most interesting case studies: The city was captured on the 22nd of April. It gave the Jewish forces motivation and the feeling of victory. The city was captured in one day with a few fights taking place,’ co-curator of the exhibition ‘1948’ Inbar Dror Lax explains. ‘Yet, on the other hand, there is a lot of discussion on what happened with the Arabs, did they leave or were they expelled?’
‘1948’, at the Haifa city museum, tells the story of the conflict that took place in the northern Israeli port city, through art.
The story of the conflict in the city is complicated. The mayor of Haifa at the time, Shabtai Levy, and his adviser, Abba Hushi, called on the Arabs to stay in their homes and not to leave the city. Yet, on the other hand, fighting in the city continued, and people fled.
‘My family was affected by the war. Some were expelled — my mother fled to Lebanon and was only able to return two years later,’ exhibit co-curator Majd Hamra explains. ‘Haifa was no longer the same for my uncle Abed Abdi, who lived in refugee camps until he was able to return to Haifa; Things were no longer the same and this became the inspiration of his art.’
In 1948, Haifa was a mixed city with an estimated population of 135,000, split between Palestinian Jews, numbering at 70,000 and Palestinian Arabs, numbering at 65,000.
According to historical estimates, by mid-May only 4,000 from the pre-conflict population estimate of 65,000 Palestinian Arabs remained.
‘In this exhibition, you will find works that are difficult for both of us; we wanted to have a discussion through the art we selected, we want the viewer to come in and feel what we felt, Lax explains. ‘We want them to feel our doubts, and uncertainty.’
‘Many people have talked about 1948. I wanted to give a voice to those in the shade of history — the unheard voices — I wanted people here and around the world to hear what they have to say about 1948,’ Hamra says.
Will the people of Haifa be forever trapped in memory? Victory, destruction, displacement, death, forgiveness, healing, mourning. ‘1948’ will be on display until April 28th at the Haifa city Museum.

MANE KATZ MUSEUM HAIFA ISRAEL
Adventures in Israel - Nazareth, Haifa, Caesarea, Jaffa
Jenny was able to be her mom's travel buddy on a tour in Israel, the Holy Land.
This day, our last day, we leave Galilee and make a stop at Nazareth then onto the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. We have a quick driving tour of Haifa (Israel third largest city), head south to the ruins of Caesarea and finish up in Jaffa, where Jonah left on a boat and Paul was exported with the gospel of Christ.
I hope you enjoyed this series from my travels in Israel. If you ever have an opportunity, Israel is worth the trip.

McJesus Stirrs Controversy in the Holy Land
NEWS DESK | Haifa's art museum has come under fire for exhibiting a Finnish artist's depiction of McDonald's mascot Ronald McDonald crucified in the same position as Jesus. The art piece has sparked great controversy in the city, with Israel's Christian Arab community protesting — sometimes violently.
Story:
A fast-food clown nailed to a cross has united its Finnish creator with Holy Land Christians demanding the artwork's removal from an exhibition at an Israeli museum.
The controversy involves 'McJesus', a statue of a crucified Ronald McDonald by Jani Leinonen on display at the Haifa Museum of Art.
It, along with a figurine representing Jesus as a smiling crucified Ken doll, has raised the ire of members of the local Christian community, Israeli politicians, and that artists himself.
The works are part of 'Sacred Goods', an exhibition about consumerism running in the northern coastal city's museum since August.
Images of the exhibits began circulating on social media last week, and in a Friday demonstration outside the museum protesters wounded three police officers with stones.
Two molotov cocktails also hit the museum in recent days, police said.After a series of meetings with Christian leaders, the museum resolved to install signs warning of 'offensive content' at the exhibition's entrance, a spokeswoman for the institution said Monday.
The proposed solution, however, did not satisfy Christian leaders, who petitioned the Haifa district court to order the museum and municipality to remove 'McJesus' and 'Ken Jesus Christ' from public display.
Israel's culture minister Miri Regev stepped into the debate last week, sending a letter to the director of the museum protesting the exhibition after receiving complaints from many in the Christian community.
'Contempt for symbols sacred to religions and many believers around the world as an act of artistic protest is illegitimate and cannot be displayed in a cultural institution supported by state funds,' said Regev in the letter seen by Haaretz.
The works are part of an exhibition dealing with religion and faith in the culture of consumerism, the spokeswoman said.
'McJesus', created by a Christian artist, has been displayed 'in many European museums,' and 'is about the cynical use of religious symbols by giant corporations,' she added.
It shows how Ronald McDonald 'has become a symbol of popular culture, reaching the level of religious worship'.
But while 'McJesus' might be taken primarily as a critique of capitalism in other parts of the world, in the Middle East such visual imagery was blasphemous, said Wadie Abunassar, advisor to church leaders in the Holy Land.
'We're not in Europe, we're in Israel,' said Abunassar. 'To us, as Arabs and Christians, this is an affront to our symbols, and we demand their removal.'

Haifa is the third largest city in the State of Israel, with a population of over 277,082. Another 300,000 people live in towns directly adjacent to the city.
Built on the slopes of Mount Carmel, the history of settlement at the site spans more than 3,000 years. The earliest known settlement in the vicinity was Tell Abu Hawam, a small port city established in the Late Bronze Age (14th century BCE). In the 3rd century CE, Haifa was known as a dye-making center. Over the centuries, the city has changed hands: It has been conquered and ruled by the Phoenicians, Persians, Hasmoneans, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Crusaders, Ottomans, British, and the Israelis. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, the city has been governed by the Haifa Municipality.
Today, the city is a major seaport located on Israel's Mediterranean coastline in the Bay of Haifa covering 63.7 square kilometres (24.6 sq mi). It is located about 90 kilometres (56 mi) north of Tel Aviv and is the major regional center of northern Israel. Two respected academic institutions, the University of Haifa and the Technion, are located in Haifa in addition to the largest k-12 school in Israel, The Hebrew Reali School. The city plays an important role in Israel's economy. It is home to Matam, one of the oldest and largest high-tech parks in the country. Haifa Bay is a center of heavy industry, petroleum refining and chemical processing. Haifa was formerly the western terminus of an oil pipeline from Iraq via Jordan.
