Abstract
sent into battle as soon as their feet touch ground. Gone is the heroic, blond, and blueeyed Ari Ben Canaan threatening to blow up a shipload of civilians. Instead, as Gitai's dazed but armed refugees scramble up a stony hill, they encounter a group of Palestinian refugees trudging in the opposite direction. Uri Barrabash's The Dreamers (1985) has its turn-of-the-century pioneering Jewish settlement struggle with the ethos of agricultural labor, shared property, free love, and the forging of a New Jew. The claims of their Palestinian neighbors to land ownership get registered obliquely as they do with Gitai's refugees. Several articles in Gertz, Lubin, and Ne'eman's edited volume Fictive Looks concern these issues.
