Abstract
Israel has never intended to control the Palestinians: Its goal has always been to drive them out. However, during the Mandate era, as part of their effort to disorganize the Palestinian society, Zionist organizations established various surveillance bodies to examine and monitor various aspects of Palestinian society. These related to the demographic, religious, tribal, and hamula (extended family or clan) composition of the Palestinians, their spatial distribution, political behaviors, and military capabilities, as well as their resources, chiefly lands and water sources.
