1. Who were the Canaanites and what kind of Israeli culture did they advocate?
The Canaanites were the Jews that came from Canaan. It is better known as modern day Israel, Lebanon, and parts of Palestine territories, as well as parts of Jordan and Syria. Their culture that they advocated evolved from a Nomadic/Arabic background.
2. Why was political and cultural integration of Holocaust survivors into Israeli society so difficult for them?
After the Holocaust, it was very difficult for the survivors to find refuge in Israel. The issue was that Israel did not have the resource or capital to fill the needs of all these people. Also, the communities in which these people lived before, or communities and homes where they could have lived were destroyed which gave them no place left to stay. Since Israel was no longer an option, the Jews decided to move to Palestine to seek refuge.

It's true that the original Canaanites came from Canaan, but the Canaanites under discussion were 20th century Israeli intellectuals.
ReplyDeleteHolocaust survivors went to Israel - I'm not sure where you get the idea that they went to Palestine.
