Talk:Yitzhak Reiter

Mr Reiter is NOT entitled to write his own WP page

Not a single reference (the only "reference" listed takes us to... one of his own books, but only the title is mentioned, no page, no quote). Beware. Arminden (talk) 16:03, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

Notability?

Should this be nominated for deletion? IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 07:49, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

I've nominated the article for deletion. IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 08:07, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Overhaul of article, mass removal of content

I added two reliable sources (the article previously had zero RS to support it) and removed all unsourced content, making it now accurate (it was previously badly out of date) and verifiable, though unfortunately reducing it to a stub.

Leaving this here for review and discussion, for obvious reasons.

Removed material parked here

Here it's easier to find, if anyone will care to rework it & offer sources next time. Or if they simply wish to read the very long & impressive autobiography of an interesting intellectual :) Thank you IOHANNUS.

I guess Prof. Reiter wrote it himself as editor "Jerusalem Institute" (only contribution, and was blocked as a result). "OldShul" wrote the first stub, but stopped editing 14 yrs ago. So others will have to have a go.

Early life and education

Reiter was born in Rehovot, Israel to Holocaust survivors, his mother from Paszto, Hungary and his father from Leipzig, Germany. During 1965–1968 he was educated at Kibbutz Givat Haim Meuhad, and in November 1970 he joined the IDF in the Intelligence Corp. He was wounded in the 1973 Arab–Israeli War on the Egyptian front. He was trained in Islamic civilization, Arabic and Islamic and Middle East studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem from where he graduated with a doctorate (1991), with his thesis specializing on the Islamic Waqf.

Career

After four years of work at the L.A. Mayer Museum of Islamic Art working in numismatics, Reiter was recruited to the civil service and during 1978–1987 served as deputy advisor on Arab Affairs for three Israeli Prime Ministers—Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Shamir and Shimon Peres. He also worked as an administrative director of Al-Anba, the Israeli Arabic daily newspaper, from 1982–83. He co-founded with Shaul Mishal, the Institute for Israeli Arab Studies at Beit Berl College serving as its director. During 1993–1995 he was nominated by the Israeli government as Chairman of the Public Committee for the Integration of Arabs within the Civil Service. In 2007 he also contributed to forming Israel's Academy for the Arabic Language (Majma` al-Lugha al-Arabiyya). Reiter taught at the Hebrew University in Islamic Studies from 1988–2003 and Conflict Resolution from 2005–2011. He also taught at Haifa University in 2004/5; IDC in 2005–6 and in 2017. During 2008–2009 he was a Schusterman Fellow teaching at the University of Minnesota in the departments of Political Science and Jewish Studies. Reiter was also a visiting scholar at St. Anthony's College, Oxford University during 2001, The Middle East Institute, Washington D.C. in 2003 and Sydney University during 2003–2004. Reiter also taught in Arabic between 2014–2016 at Al-Qasemi College, Baqa al-Gharbiyye, Israel. Reiter's first studies pertained to the Islamic pious endowments (waqf) in Palestine under the British Mandate and in Israel. His book Islamic Endowments in Jerusalem during the British Mandate examines the role of Mandate-era Muslim institutions on the basis of 1,500 legal documents of the Shari’a court's sijillat between 1918 and 1948 and the archive of the Supreme Muslim Council located in Abu Dis. In his National Minority, Regional Majority] Reiter used the theory of "interlocking conflict" in criticizing studies that refer only to the special tension between the Jewish and democratic nature of Israel while ignoring the impact of the regional conflict. In another article Reiter criticized the four manifestos published by Israeli Arab NGOs during 2006–2007 concluding with a vision of how to compromise between Jewish and Arab worldviews and political interests. This was the result of a three-year academic project that he initiated and headed at the Jerusalem Institute for Israel Studies concluding with a vision of "Inclusive Citizenship".
