Historical perspective on the ideological dimension of the 1977 political turnover in Israel
This article argues that since 1977 policy changes of the new Likud government were small, but they engendered a tremendous shift in consciousness, as well as a symbolic change. Israel’s character as a Jewish state was greatly augmented. A new Israeli identity emerged, grounded primarily in Jewish roots with a preference for communal over state identity. Political ideologies in democracies are poor. The ‘iron law of ideology’ states that politica…
Kadima goes back
Kadima lost the 2009 elections to the Likud after it had come to power in the 2006 elections. While Kadima only lost one seat (28 instead of 29), and even remained the largest party in the Knesset, it had no chance of remaining in power. Kadima is the most important phenomenon in the Israeli party system in recent years. Despite the fact that it did not win the 2009 elections its influence on the political system has been enormous. After its vict…

Ben-Gurion Against the Knesset
The power struggle between Ben-Gurion and the Knesset was not primarily concerned with who should hold the reins of power, but with the ideals that should lie behind government. Ben-Gurion did not think that the Knesset had the moral backbone required at a historic turning-point in Israeli history, when the character of the nation was being developed; although he conceded that it was capable of dealing with the more mundane administrative tasks. …

Religious Zionism and the Framing of a Constitution for Israel
ALMOST FIFTY YEARS AFTER ITS foundation, the State of Israel still lacks a formal constitution—a situation that is sometimes explained by the opposition from the religious circles to any constitutional arrangement. In the view of some, these circles still have enormous influence on the Israeli political system, but in terms of power relations, this is almost impossible. Religious political parties are far from accumulating such influence. When th…

Israeli Leadership and Public Attitudes Toward Federal Solutions for the Arab-Israeli Conflict Before and After Desert Storm
This first empirical investigation of support for federative solutions to the Arab-Israeli conflict among the Jewish political leadership and general public of Israel suggests that, despite the Palestinian Intifada and the Gulf War, there is a potential basis within Israel for federal approaches to intercommunal and interstate conflict resolution. Both leaders and the public are dissatisfied with the status quo. Political leaders are more support…
Is Israel's Political Élite Becoming More Hawkish
In May 1989, Israel's National Unity government, the coalition of its main political parties Likud and Labour agreed on a peace initiative, a decision which was generally regarded as representing a more flexible Israeli position than hitherto. This government had been formed by Likud following the November 1988 elections. Even though Likud had secured the agreement of the religious and right-wing parties to enter into a coalition under its leader…
Gush Emunim in the West Bank
When the first Israelis came to settle in the West Bank in the summer of 1967, the Israeli public was still under the influence of the euphoria which pervaded the country after its victory in the Six Day War. Settlement on land that had been conquered from the Kingdom of Jordan was then viewed as the natural consequence of the recently waged defensive war. However, as years passed and the scope of settlement in the new territories increased, the …
