Sde Moshe is a Zionist settlement established on the lands of the destroyed Palestinian village of Iraq al-Manshiyya. It was founded in 1956 and named in honor of the German Jewish Baron Maurice de Hirsch, who was known in Hebrew as Moshe. He is considered one of the founders of the Zionist Colonization Association in 1891, which aimed to settle Eastern European Jews in Argentina and Brazil. The number of settlers in Sde Moshe was approximately 800 in 2022. Sources: Due to the scarcity of Arabic sources, Hebrew sources were used: the settlement’s official Hebrew website and the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics. Information on the village of Iraq al-Manshiyya was obtained from the Palestine Remembered website.
