Abstract:

This study explores how Ottoman history was processed in Hebrew history lessons used in Israeli public schools from 1948 to 2014. In all the books, when the establishment period and conquests are described, the Gaza thesis is based on the importance of the Gaza ideal for the Ottomans. The central administration of the Ottoman Empire in the classical era is appreciated for its effective army and tolerant attitude towards non-Muslims. On the contrary, all the old new books accept the retreat paradigm in the Ottoman history and the Ottoman image they offer is more negative because the books published after the 1990s have given weight to the period they see as a retreat period. 16 of the Empire. It is said that after a century, its administration, army and economy weakened and became a country dominated by corruption and anarchy. The rebels in the Balkans are justified and the government is accused of wasting the rebels. It is noted that most of the reforms of the Tanzimat period were not implemented due to the conservative resistance. Abdülhamid administration's oppression is emphasized, the ethnosentric policies of the Yön Turks are criticized. The wars in Çanakkale and Palestine are mostly translated from a British perspective. The story of the events of Armenia is closer to the official history of Turkey than in the old books.
