Abstract

In a country whose citizens have experienced prolonged exposure to intractable conflict, are there unique features to be found in Israeli society’s core beliefs? And how—and to what effect—have those beliefs changed across the decades? To answer these questions, Neta Oren deeply explores Israel's political culture. Oren focuses especially on two circular processes: the two-way relationship between the course of the Arab-Israeli conflict and Israel’s national identity; and efforts by leaders to shape that national identity while, in turn, shifts in public opinion exert influence on leadership positions. Drawing on extensive data including speeches, party platforms, school texts and curriculums, and public opinion polls, she offers both a unique analysis and a rich reference resource.

Abstract

For a country smaller than Vermont, with roughly the same population as Honduras, modern Israel receives a remarkable amount of attention. For supporters, it is a unique bastion of democracy in the Middle East, while detractors view it as a racist outpost of Western colonialism. The romanticization of Israel became particularly prominent in 1967, when its military prowess shocked a Jewish world still reeling from the sense of powerlessness dramatized by the Holocaust. That imagery has grown ever more visible, with Israel’s supporters idealizing its technological achievements and its opponents attributing almost every problem in the region, if not beyond, to its imperialistic aspirations. The contradictions and competing views of modern Israel are the subject of this book. There is much to consider about modern Israel besides the Middle East conflict. Over the past generation, a substantial body of scholarship has explored numerous aspects of the country, including its approaches to citizenship and immigration, the arts, the women’s movement, religious fundamentalism, and language; but much of that work has to date been confined within the walls of the academy. This book does not seek not to resolve either the country’s internal debates or its struggle with the Arab world, but to present a sample of contemporary scholars’ discoveries and discussions about modern Israel in an accessible way. In each of the areas discussed, competing narratives grapple for prominence, and it is these which are highlighted in this volume.

Abstract

La problématique principale déroulée dans cet essai ne manquera pas d'apparaître illégitime, et même révoltante, à plus d'un lecteur. Elle sera d'emblée récusée par nombre de laïcs déterminés à se définir comme juifs. Pour d'autres, je ne serai qu'un traître infâme, rongé par la haine de soi. Des judéophobes conséquents ont déjà qualifié d'impossible, voire d'absurde, une telle question, parce qu'ils considèrent qu'un juif sera toujours d'une autre race. La judéité est perçue comme une essence immuable et compacte, qui ne saurait être modifiée. L'Etat dont je suis citoyen définit ma nationalité comme "juif". Pourtant, j'aurais pu être enregistré sous la nationalité autrichienne ; en effet, je suis né, fortuitement, dans un camp de personnes déplacées, dans la ville de Linz, au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Le problème est que je ne crois pas en un être suprême. Si l'on excepte une brève crise mystique, à l'âge de douze ans, j'ai toujours pensé que l'homme a créé Dieu et non pas l'inverse ; et cette invention m'est toujours apparue comme l'une des plus problématiques, des plus fascinantes et des plus meurtrières de l'humaine société. Par conséquent, je me retrouve, pieds et poings liés, pris au piège de mon identité démente
