Abstract

From the late British Mandate period until 1967, a cohesive system of social and political arrangements took shape among the people of the Hebron district in the West Bank. This system, referred to here as the Hebronite alliance, was born of a continuous crisis and played a central role in cultivating harmony and co-liability among the people of the district and its expatriates. It promoted them as a collective and individuals and shaped the distinct pro-Hashemite character of the Hebron region. The strength of the alliance stemmed from the adoption of a unique social contract and a new regional ‘Hebronite’ identity that was a stable anchor for many Palestinians caught between the competing Palestinian, Jordanian, and pan-Arab national identities.

摘要

从英国托管时期后期到 1967 年，西岸希伯伦地区的人民形成了一个有凝聚力的社会和政治安排体系。这个系统，这里被称为赫伯伦联盟，诞生于持续的危机，并在培养该地区人民及其外籍人士之间的和谐与共同责任方面发挥了核心作用。它促进了他们作为一个集体和个人的发展，并塑造了希伯伦地区独特的亲哈希姆特征。该联盟的力量源于独特的社会契约和新的地区“赫伯伦”身份的采用，这种身份对于许多陷入巴勒斯坦、约旦和泛阿拉伯国家身份相互竞争的巴勒斯坦人来说是一个稳定的支柱。
