That became strikingly evident when in virtually the same diplomatic breath Prime Minister Manuel Valls said he’d divert 100 million Euros from France’s staggering economy to wage war on the anti-Semitic virus engulfing his nation, while his foreign minister, Laurent Fabius, was peremptorily flogging a proposed UN Security Council resolution that would send Israel back to the 1949 “Auschwitz” cease-fire lines, impose a “Palestinian state” on Judea and Samaria, with its capital in a re-divided Jerusalem, and compel the Jewish state’s submission to a “fair resolution” of the Palestinian “refugee” claim. So let’s get this straight: On the one hand, 500,000 Jews must, at all costs, be dissuaded from running off to Israel and other locales because, per Msr.

I wish to thank in particular my main supervisor Dr. Ron Levy for his invaluable comments, suggestions and guidance. I would also like to thank Prof. Kim Rubenstein for her insightful comments and continuing encouragement, Associate Prof. Afshin Akhtar-Khavari for his feedback and my partner Felicity Hammond for her support. This thesis is dedicated to my father, Shlomo Keinan, who always inspired me to read and to learn. v vi Abstract The boundaries of citizenship are increasingly contested. The trend among scholars is to try to expand the state’s responsibilities and duties to include non-citizens in the relevant polity. Legal, social and political theorists ask whether citizenship can or should exist beyond the nation state and a defined territory. This debate closely relates to the burgeoning research regarding diaspora communities and their connections with their countries of origin or homelands (‘kin-states’). Diaspora communities have always maintained some level of interest in the affairs of their kin- states, but globalisation and advanced communication technologies have made it easier for people in the diaspora to engage in activities that are directed at the political and social life of their kin-states.
