History



Antiquity




Hellenistic era site near the kibbutz


Human habitation in the area dates at least as far back as the Hellenistic period.[2]



Crusader era


In 1283, during the hudna ("truce") between the Crusaders based in Acre and the Mamluk sultan al-Mansur Qalawun, this location was named el Harathiyah and was described as part of the domain of the Crusaders.[3]



Ottoman era


During the Ottoman era, a Muslim village at the site was called el Hâritheh.[4] The village appeared as El Harti on the map of Pierre Jacotin compiled in 1799.[5] In 1859, the population was recorded as 120 with tillable land of 12 feddans.[6] In 1875, Victor Guérin reported about 40 houses.[7] In 1882, the Palestine Exploration Fund's Survey of Western Palestine described it as an adobe hamlet.[6]


A population list from about 1887 showed that Harithiyeh had about 120 inhabitants; all Muslims.[8]



British Mandate era

In the 1922 census of Palestine, conducted by the British Mandate authorities, the Al Zubaidat, who cultivated the Hartieh land, numbered 363, all Muslims.[9]


In 1925 a Zionist organisation purchased 50 feddans in Hartieh from the Sursock family of Beirut. At the time, there were 60 families living there.[10] In the 1931 census, the Arab Zubeidat was counted under the Shefa-'Amr suburbs.[11]


From 1931, and lasting several years, the Jewish Agency struggled to evict the Arab El Zubeidat, who were tenant farmers at Hartiya.[12][13][14][15] According to Avneri, Hartiya land was to become Sha'ar HaAmakim.[12]
According to the Department of Statistics, however, Sha'ar HaAmakim had previously been part of Sheikh Bureik.[16][17]


Kibbutz Sha'ar HaAmakim was founded in 1935 by immigrants from Romania and Yugoslavia. One of its founders was Aharon Cohen[18], later to be convicted of spying for the Soviet Union. Its name was derived from the nearby confluence of the Jezreel and Zevulun valleys.[19] By the 1945 statistics it had a population of 360, all Jews.[16][17]



State of Israel


Sha'ar HaAmakim hosted volunteers from around the world, including France and the United States, who worked at the kibbutz and participated in cultural exchanges.[20] In the 1960s, there were up to 100 volunteers each year.[21]Bernie Sanders, who later became a U.S. Senator, worked at the kibbutz for several months in 1963.[22][21]



Economy


According to a 2016 report, the kibbutz derives most of its income from its solar water heater factory. It also makes money from agriculture, including dairy farming.[20] For over five decades, the kibbutz has produced and processed sunflower seeds which it markets under its name both in Israel and for export.[23] It also has a fish pond and orchards producing apples, peaches, and pears.[21]
