“…51 Addressing the erasure of memory in Israeli consciousness around the events of Wadi Salib, Weiss explains: 'Although it had retained its Arab name, when Wadi Salib became an icon in 1959 there was no trace of its former residents'. 52 Rooted in the reality of the preferential treatment that European Jewish immigrants enjoyed in Haifa and elsewhere in the country that Wadi Salib' Moroccan Jews were well aware of, the Palestinian past of the quarter was absent in the discourses of the protests, in the reports of the official inquiries that followed them, as well as in public memory of the events. 53 In a series produced by the Israeli Educational Television between 1997 and 2000, one episode discusses the role of the leading activist in the Wadi Salib protests, David Ben-Harush.…”

Critical scholarship on Palestine/Israel tends to focus on conceptualising the settler colonial practices that characterise this conflict but have failed to account for how these practices are reproduced and sustained over time. To address this gap, rather than focusing on Israel' s quantifiable strengths such as military might, the use of law, the economy, and diplomacy, this article investigates the reciprocal relations between the formation of Israeli modes of being or subjectivities, on the one hand, and the generation and distribution of settler colonial surplus, on the other. The examination of the processes of subjectivity formation in their settler colonial register on the side of the coloniser allows understating how the circuits of settler colonial power endure.

This article explores the geopolitical significance of public religious institutions and the ways in which it has corresponded to changes in their urban environment. Based on a spatial analysis and ethnography of urban synagogues in the northern Israeli mixed city of Acre that were established and constructed by communities of Jewish immigrants from North African countries, we demonstrate how significant shifts in the city's demographic pattern and landscape have affected these institutions' ascribed functions and meanings. We theorise this dynamic as ‘strongholding’, or, more specifically, strongholding the synagogue as a means of strongholding the city. The formation of the synagogue as a stronghold is enacted through a dual configuration process by which the religious legitimacy, which the synagogue bestows on those who maintain it, is interwoven into a broader urban sociopolitical struggle to claim a presence in the city.
