The War on Drugs in Israel: Detoxicating “Outsiders Within,” Intoxicating Foreign Enemies
Haggai Ram
Itinerario
Drawing on archival documents and press reports, Ram examines a contradiction in Israel's War on Drugs from the late 1950s to the early 1980s. Domestic enforcement fell mainly on Mizrahim, first- and second-generation Jewish immigrants from the Middle East and North Africa, and the author argues that the authorities used hashish to marginalise and criminalise them. At the same time the Israeli military took part in large-scale hashish trafficking into Egypt, aimed at the Egyptian population and its armed forces. The article treats hashish as a commodity put to political use on both sides of a border.
