Al-Manshiyya ( Arabic: المنشية) was a Palestinian Arab village in the Tiberias Subdistrict, located 11 kilometres south of Tiberias. [3] It was probably depopulated at the same time as neighbouring Al-'Ubaydiyya, in the 1947–1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine. [4] Manshiyya was located 1 km south-west of Umm Junieh or Khirbat Umm Juni.
In 1799, in the late Ottoman period, Um Junieh was noted as "ruins" on the map of Pierre Jacotin. [5] In 1875, Victor Guérin noted Um Junieh as a village. [6] In the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine in 1881 Umm Junieh was described as having 250 inhabitants, all Muslim. [7] They noted that it was possible that Umm Junieh was the place which Josephus called Union. [8]
In the 1880s the land of Khirbat Umm Juni and Al-Manshiyya was bought on behalf of the Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Baháʼí Faith. The Arab inhabitants continued to farm the land as tenant farmers. [3]
A population list from about 1887 showed that Kiryet Umm Juny had about 330 Muslim inhabitants. [9]
In 1905-1907 the land was resold to the Jewish National Fund. What were to become Kibbutz Degania was established at Umm Juni, in part using existing Arab-made mud huts and for a while the Arab village and the Jewish one coexisted.
In the 1922 census of Palestine, there were 79 Muslim residents in Khirbat Umm Juneh, [10] while no number is available for Al-Manshiyya. [3][ dubious ]
In 1992 the village site was described: "The site is covered with grasses and a few palm and eucalyptus trees; no traces of buildings remain. The surrounding lands are cultivated by Israelis." [2]
