Property in Spain
The letter, from Spain's King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, is in the Museum's Permanent Collection
By Josh Mack
Tuesday, March 29, 2022 • From the Collection
In 1492, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella issued the Alhambra Decree, ordering the expulsion of all Jews from their kingdoms. In a matter of months, Spanish Jews were forced to renounce their faith or leave their thousand-year homeland behind. Meanwhile, the Spanish economy crumbled as hundreds of thousands prepared for departure, liquidating their assets and scrambling to arrange their affairs.
Amid this chaos, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella wrote a crucial directive to their agent Rodrigo de Mercado, Governor of Medina del Campo, regarding the dissolution of Jewish property in Spain. Signed on December 10, 1492, this letter in the Museum’s Permanent Collection marks a transformative moment in world history. It tells the story of a unique culture nearly destroyed, and of a disastrous blunder by the Spanish government that impacted not only the Jews of Spain but Christian and Muslim countries across Europe and Africa.
Ferdinand and Isabella initially signed the decree for the expulsion of all Jews residing within their domain on March 31, 1492. Spanish Jews, who numbered around 300,000, were required to emigrate or convert to Catholicism by the end of July the same year, giving them a period of four months to liquidate all of their property, vacate their homes and businesses, and venture abroad. The magnitude of the undertaking and the timeframe given resulted in social and economic chaos, to which this letter responds directly.
It reads: “As regards what you say about the goods which some people have taken from the Jews in their towns and lands, as well as outstanding debts, we command you to find out which goods were seized and the number of debts that remained and they are collecting.”

Dialectical materialism is a materialist theory based upon the writings of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels that has found widespread applications in a variety of philosophical disciplines ranging from philosophy of history to philosophy of science.[1][2] As a materialist philosophy, Marxist dialectics emphasizes the importance of real-world conditions and the presence of contradictions within and among social relations, such as social class, labour economics, and socioeconomic interactions.[3] Within Marxism, a contradiction is a relationship in which two forces oppose each other, leading to mutual development.[4]: 256
The first law of dialectics is about “the unity and conflict of opposites”. It explains that all things are made up of opposing forces, not purely "good" nor purely "bad", but that everything contains internal contradictions at varying levels of aspects we might call "good" or "bad", depending on the conditions and perspective. An example of this unity and conflict is the negative and positive particles that make up atoms.[5]
The second law of dialectics is ‘quantity into quality’ that small quantitative changes, such as increasing the heat of water by one degree at a time, at a certain point result in a qualitative change when the water turns into steam.[5]
The third law is the ‘negation of the negation’. In the history of life on Earth, photosynthetic organisms evolved, and their byproduct—molecular oxygen—was toxic to life. At this point oxygen negated life. But when life evolved bacteria that utilized oxygen for its own metabolism, oxygen stopped being a toxin for a whole branch of organisms. This was the 'negation of the negation', and an example of something turning into its opposite.[5]

Russian-speaking immigrants and their descendants form a significant part of Israel's population, with about
1.3 million people (15%) originating from the former Soviet Union (FSU), including Russia, Ukraine, and other states, profoundly impacting Israeli culture, science, and politics since the 1990s, making them the largest Jewish minority and a major political bloc, though often identifying as secular.
Key Figures & Demographics
Total Number: Around 1.3 million Russian speakers live in Israel, representing about 15% of the total population.
Origins: While many are from Russia (around one-third), significant numbers also come from Ukraine, Belarus, Central Asia, and the Baltics.
Largest Minority: This group is Israel's largest Jewish minority, influencing society and politics
AI Overview

A significant portion of Israel's Jewish population traces roots to Eastern Europe, primarily through
Ashkenazi Jews (Central/Eastern Europe) and later waves of Soviet Union (FSU) immigrants, forming major ethnic groups that shaped Israeli culture, often alongside Mizrahi (Middle Eastern/North African) Jews, creating a diverse but sometimes conflicted social landscape. Many early Israeli Jews were East European, and later mass immigration from the FSU added a large Slavic-descended component, including non-Jewish relatives, making East European ancestry a cornerstone of the modern Israeli mosaic.
Key Groups & Origins:
Ashkenazi Jews: The second-largest Jewish group in Israel, originating from Central and Eastern Europe, they were dominant in early Israeli institutions, creating cultural tension with Sephardic (Middle Eastern/North African) groups.
Former Soviet Union (FSU) Immigrants: A major wave of immigration (late 1980s-1990s) brought hundreds of thousands from Russia, Ukraine, etc., many of whom are ethnically Ashkenazi or "Zera Yisrael" (descendants of Jews).
Early Immigration: The initial Jewish population of Israel (around 1948) was largely of East European origin, including Holocaust survivors.
Cultural Impact:
"Melting Pot" vs. Identity: Early Israel's "melting pot" policy tried to assimilate diverse Jewish identities, often suppressing Sephardic/Mizrahi traditions in favor of Ashkenazi norms, a conflict that has lessened but left lasting impacts.
Slavic Presence: Beyond Jewish immigrants, a growing non-Jewish population (Russians, Ukrainians) from the FSU adds to the Eastern European demographic mix, often through marriage to Israeli citizens.
In essence, Eastern European Jewish heritage (Ashkenazi) and post-Soviet immigration have profoundly shaped Israel's ethnic composition, economy, and culture, alongside Mizrahi and other groups, creating a diverse national identity.

Barack Obama signed the
Smith-Mundt Modernization Act into law in 2013 as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (NDAA). The primary effect of the modernization act was to lift a decades-old "domestic dissemination ban," allowing U.S. citizens to access content produced by U.S. government-funded media organizations like Voice of America (VOA) and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
Key Details
Original Act's Purpose: The original 1948 Smith-Mundt Act was created to promote a better understanding of the United States among foreign audiences during the Cold War. It included a provision that effectively prohibited the domestic dissemination of these materials, largely due to congressional concerns about the government engaging in propaganda directed at its own citizens.
Reason for Modernization: The ban became difficult and counterproductive to enforce with the rise of the internet, where much of the content was already technically available online. ==The modernization aimed to increase transparency and allow Americans to see the information their tax dollars were funding.
What Changed: The 2013 amendment enabled content from the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) and the State Department to be requested and made available within the United States.==
What Did Not Change: The act did not repeal the core prohibition against the government creating programming intended for a domestic audience or for the purpose of influencing U.S. public opinion. It maintained a firewall requiring that materials only be distributed domestically if they were initially created for a foreign audience and made available upon request.
Political Context: The amendment was co-sponsored by Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-TX) and Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) and passed with bipartisan support. Despite this, the law's passage has periodically been a source of public debate and misinformation regarding government propaganda.

It is a moment few could have imagined just a few years ago but the Syrian president, Ahmed al Sharaa, has arrived in Washington for a landmark series of meetings, which will culminate in a face-to-face with Donald Trump at the White House.
His journey to this point is a remarkable story, and it's a tale of how one man went from being a jihadist battlefield commander to a statesman on the global stage - now being welcomed by the world's most powerful nation.
Mr Sharaa became leader of Syria after the fall of the Bashar al Assad regime in December last year

The Trump administration is concerned that Israel's repeated strikes inside Syria risk destabilizing the country and undermining hopes of an Israel-Syria security agreement, two senior U.S. officials tell Axios.
"We are trying to tell Bibi he has to stop this because if it continues he will self-destruct," one of those officials said, referring to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by his nickname.
