OZJF منظمة مناصرة أمريكية تخاطب القراء الذين يريدون المصادر والمعايير ووضوح الموقف الأخلاقي في مكان واحد. نحن ندافع عن حق الشعب اليهودي في دولة، ونعزز العلاقات بين الولايات المتحدة وإسرائيل، ونواجه معاداة السامية والسياسات التي تبرر الإرهاب أو تلمعه.

لإسرائيل حق في الوجود. تقرير المصير اليهودي ليس استثناءً، بل حق قومي أساسي. وفي الوقت نفسه نصر على الحديث بصدق عن كلفة الحرب: المدنيون الفلسطينيون مدنيون، وتسري عليهم قوانين النزاعات المسلحة وواجب حماية الحياة.

نرى أن بنية الحكم الفلسطيني الحالية مشكلة حقيقية: تسيطر حماس على غزة منذ 2007، وتدير السلطة الفلسطينية أجزاء من الضفة الغربية، ولا يلبّي أي من الجسمين معيار الحكم الشرعي والمستقر والمسؤول الذي يحتاجه سلام دائم.

يعمل OZJF من إطار أمريكي. نحن نكتب لجمهور مدني في الولايات المتحدة، وننشر مصادرنا، ونصحح أخطاءنا علنًا، ونفضّل الحجة الموثقة على الشعار.

This week at OZJF

What we work on

Five fights. One steady voice.

Pick the issue you care about most. Each page lays out the argument in plain English, with sources you can check.

Jewish self-determination

The Jewish people have a right to a state. We make that case clearly, in plain language, with real history.

Palestinian governance

Hamas runs Gaza. The PA pays a martyrs fund. A government that pays for terror does not deserve recognition.

Rising antisemitism

Anti-Jewish hate is climbing in American life. We track it, name it, and push back on the slogans that fuel it.

War and civilian protection

Palestinian civilians are civilians. Hamas made war the center of its rule. Both can be true. Both matter.

Honest criticism of Israeli policy

Israel has a right to exist. That does not mean every policy is right. We say so, with sources.

History of Gaza

A timeline of who ruled Gaza, and when

The fastest way to understand today's argument is to stop flattening Gaza into one story. This timeline tracks who governed the area across major eras, then links each chapter to a fuller explanation with sources.

Governance ruler

Each band is a ruling power over Gaza. Widths are proportional to time. Pins mark pivotal modern moments.

Some bands overlap because multiple powers claimed the region at once. Overlapping bands sit on a second row.

Start with the chapters

On phones, the most useful view is a readable sequence. Tap an era to update the detail below, or open the chapter for sources.

Modern turning points

c. 3000 BCE - 332 BCE

Ancient foundations

Open chapter

Gaza began as a Canaanite city on a trade route between Africa and Asia, then passed through Egyptian, Philistine, Israelite, Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian periods.

This chapter is about long-duration place history, not modern nationalism. Gaza mattered because it sat on a coastal corridor. That made it valuable to whichever power controlled the route, and it helps explain why its earliest history is a succession of outside rulers rather than a single continuous state.

Rulers within this chapter

Canaanite

United Israel

Israel & Judah

Assyria

Babylon

Persia

Who ruled

Canaanite city networks
Egyptian imperial influence
Philistine pentapolis
Israelite and Judahite interaction
Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian control

Teaching note

Useful for teaching the difference between a geographic place, a people, and a later national movement.

This is a governance timeline. It traces political control over Gaza. It does not deny Palestinian identity, and it does not treat the history of the people of the land as reducible to one modern slogan.

Why it matters now

Why the modern chapter matters most

The current war sits on top of a modern record that includes the British Mandate, Egyptian administration, Israeli control after 1967, limited Palestinian self-rule, the 2005 disengagement, Hamas's 2006 election win, and its 2007 armed takeover of Gaza. That is why OZJF treats Gaza as a governance question, not just a slogan.

Globalize the Intifada: what the slogan means
