Looking at a number of texts from Palestinian research institutes and publishing houses in the Arab world from the 1960s to the 1980s, this paper details how Palestinian intellectuals in exile understood intra-Jewish conflict in Israel between Ashkenazim and Mizrahim. Through readings of the works of Ali Ibrahim Abdou, Khairieh Kasimieh, Hilda Shaʿban Sayegh, Fuʾad Jadid, and Arabic translations of Mizrahi writers, it asks: why and how have Palestinians written about the Mizrahi struggle in Israel? Most of the works examined are situated firmly within the Palestinian intellectual current of al-takhaṣuṣ fī shuʾūn al-ʿadū (competency in enemy affairs), a type of anti-colonial counter-knowledge production with the aim of responding to Zionist discourse. Despite their purported focus on “the enemy,” many of these works do translate and endorse the views of Mizrahi social movements; emphasize historic ties of Jewish communities with their co-citizens of other faiths in the Arab world; and elevate non-Zionist Jewish voices on the Palestinian Question. Indeed, all of the works in question argue that the stakes and impact of Mizrahi struggle are relevant, either as a part of or an obstacle to, the Palestinian struggle against Zionism. This paper will engage with important scholarship in intellectual history which brings attention to Jewish-Palestinian intellectual engagements, particularly those focused on Palestinian research institutions in the late 20th century. Unlike studies that view Mizrahim and Palestinians exclusively as common victims of Zionism and stop their analysis there, this paper centers the intellectual and political initiatives of these groups. It looks at how these groups wrote about their respective struggles in ways that linked them to broader Arab and global intellectual discourses.
