The ‘normalization’ of the Jews
Weizmann’s Zionist leadership
Zionism and Jewish statehood as expressions of Jewish modernisation
The adaptation to modernity generated among the Jews different amalgamations between European and Jewish concepts and brought about diverse and often opposed ideological trends and movements. One was Zionism, built on a concoction between Jewish tenets such as Shivat-Zion (Return-to-Zion) and European nationalism and secularisation. The result, Jewish statehood, failed to eradicate or diminish the tensions between non-Jews and Jews with the old J…
The Israelization of Jew-hatred and the concept ‘antisemitism-light’
A new wave of antisemitism has lately emerged, mostly directed against the Jewish state of Israel. It justifies itself with a new formulation that obfuscates Jew-hatred and its main bearers are Western left-oriented academics. A worrying fact is the large number of Jewish intellectuals, among them Israelis, who support such positions. This reflects the deepening ideological differences in present-day Jewry with regard to the Jewish state and its …
Jewish identity in the early 21 st -century
The social and cultural integration of the Jews into Western society was a central paradigm of modern Jewry. Presently, ideological changes in sectors of ‘progressive’ Western society regarding the Jewish state and the Jews, as well as political and cultural tendencies in Israel, are unsettling the parameters of that paradigm, bringing up new tensions between non-Jews and Jews and changing Jewish profiles. Such multifaceted developments should be…
Israel in modern Jewish identity
Contemporary Jewry is burdened by a fierce debate about Zionism and Israel. A sizeable sector of Jewish academics, where leftists and self-declared liberals are strongly represented, criticises the Jewish state to the point of casting doubts regarding its very existence. Although their argumentation is frequently similar to the utterances of non-Jewish antisemites, what moves these Jewish Israel-critics is not so much Jews and Judaism but rather …
Karl Erich Grözinger
On the complexities of modern Jewish identity
The contention of the present essay is that many Jews who oppose the existence of the state of Israel express a problematic form of Jewish identity, which may reach the point of a new pattern of Judeophobia – certainly, a puzzling intellectual phenomenon. Excluded from this category are Jews who criticize certain Israeli policies; this is the accepted democratic and liberal norm. Meant are Jews who either demand structural changes that deny the J…
Aktueller Antisemitismus – ein Phänomen der Mitte
Anti-Jewish sentiments and prejudices are no longer fringe-group phenomena. Judeophobic ideas have in recent years been widely accepted into the mainstream of society, with Israel frequently serving as a substitute for views with clearly anti-Jewish content. Verbal anti-Jewish utterances are increasingly common in public and media discourse and are met by public opinion with indifference or even acceptance. While the coarse Judeophobic expression…
On the Myth of the Connection Between the Holocaust and the Creation of Israel
It all Depends on the Point of View
Zionism and Jewish Nationalism
The axiomatic link in modern Jewish thought between Zionism and Jewish nationalism is questioned in this essay. It will be suggested that the connection between both embodied an ideological “marriage of convenience” blessed by both Jews and non-Jews, but not a deep-rooted bond, and that the idea of a “Jewish nationalism” deserves critical reconsideration. Three complementary hypotheses are proposed and analyzed: that Zionism and nationalism were …
Jacob H. Schiff and the Leadership of the American Jewish Community
T . here is an age-old debate among historians about the mutual influence between a leader and the society being led. Nobody doubts that an interaction exists, but opinions vary about the relative import of each factor. The approach adopted in this article, despite its biographical focus, stresses the major weight of the social environment-namely, that leading figures are the product of the conditions and reflect the possibilities of their societ…
