Unacknowledged Kinships
Zionism
Emotion lies at the heart of all national movements, and Zionism is no exception. For those who identify as Zionist, the word connotes liberation and redemption, uniqueness and vulnerability. Yet for many, Zionism is a source of distaste if not disgust, and those who reject it are no less passionate than those who embrace it. The power of such emotions helps explain why a word originally associated with territorial aspiration has survived so many…
Orientalism and the Jews
In spite of growing globalization there remains in the world a split between the West and the rest. The manner in which this split has been imagined and represented in Western civilization has been the subject of intense cross-disciplinary scrutiny, much of it under the rubric of orientalism. This debate, sparked by the 1978 publication of Bdward Said's identifies the as the Islamic world and to a lesser extent Hindu India. Orientalism signifies …
Israeli Historical Revisionism
Jews and the Military
This book is the first comprehensive and comparative look at Jewish involvement in the military and their attitudes toward war from the 1600s until the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. The book shows that although Jews have often been described as people who shun the army, in fact they have frequently been willing, even eager, to do military service, and only a minuscule minority have been pacifists. The book demonstrates that Israel's mi…
The German-Jewish Soldier
The story of German-Jewish soldiers and veterans of World War I illustrates how, under circumstances of inclusion (even if incomplete) rather than vicious persecution, Jewish suffering in wartime, and with it the forms of collective memory and strategies for commemoration of the dead, could closely parallel, even intersect with, the suffering of Germans as a whole. To be sure, the points of intersection were accompanied by points of deflection. E…
Introduction 1 Jews and Modernity
Israel in History
Covering topical issues concerning the nature of the Israeli state, this engaging work presents essays that combine a variety of comparative schemes, both internal to Jewish civilization and extending throughout the world, such as: modern Jewish society, politics and culture historical consciousness in the twentieth century colonialism, anti-colonialism and postcolonial state-building. With its open-ended, comparative approach, Israel in History …
Anti-Semites on Zionism
This article compares European and Middle Eastern anti-Semitism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. From the 1870s through the 1930s, in parallel fashion anti-Semitism became a mobilizing, all-embracing ideology in Europe, while the Arab world witnessed an eruption of anticolonial and nationalist sentiment, often directed against the Zionist project. Arab anti-Semitism featured the irrational and fantastic qualities of its Europ…
Herzl and the Palestinian Arabs
According to conventional Zionist historiography, Herzl thought little about Arabs, and what he did have to say about them reflected benign and progressive, albeit paternalistic, sentiment. Critics of Zionism, on the other hand, claim that underlying the paucity of Herzl's comments on Arabs was a conspiracy of silence, for already in 1895 he was allegedly planning the expulsion of the Palestinians, although he only confided this dark scheme to hi…
Nouvelles orientations de l'historiographie israélienne Au-delà du révisionnisme
L'article traite de la ' new history ' du conflit israélo-arabe, qui ne constitue plus une force révolutionnaire au sein de l'université et n'y représente plus qu'une petite portion du renouveau historiographique en ce qui concerne les quinze dernières années. Les arguments des historiens ' révisionnistes ' ont été intégrés à un degré ou à un autre au courant principal du consensus historiographique, et l'extrémisme en la matière s'est vu margina…

The Foundations of the 20 th Century
Yoram Hazony's book The Jewish State: The Struggle for Israel's Soul1 is neither scholarship nor journalism. It is a learned polemic, the work of a talented and impassioned thinker for whom facts and arguments are weapons to be marshaled in the service of a political cause. A critique of a book of this type should not content itself with disputing the validity of its evidence and arguments, which are, by the very nature of the text, little more t…
Shylock's Children
Zionism and Religion
The relationship between nationalism and religion has throughout history been a stormy one, often characterized by antagonisms and antipathy. In this anthology, scholars from Israel and US examine from various perspectives -- history, sociology, theology, law, political science -- complex nexus within Judaism of these two sources of repeated ideological and political dispute. Essays are grouped around four themes: tradition and modernity in Easte…
