  • The Role of Ultra-Orthodox Political Parties in Israeli Democracy
    Luke Howson University of Liverpool The Role of Ultra-Orthodox Political Parties in Israeli Democracy Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy By Luke Howson July 2014 Committee: Clive Jones, BA (Hons) MA, PhD Prof Jon Tonge, PhD 1 Luke Howson University of Liverpool © 2014 Luke Howson All Rights Reserved 2 Luke Howson University of Liverpool Abstract This thesis focuses on the role of ultra-orthodox party Shas within the Israeli state as a means to explore wider themes and divisions in Israeli society. Without underestimating the significance of security and conflict within the structure of the Israeli state, in this thesis the Arab–Jewish relationship is viewed as just one important cleavage within the Israeli state. Instead of focusing on this single cleavage, this thesis explores the complex structure of cleavages at the heart of the Israeli political system. It introduces the concept of a ‘cleavage pyramid’, whereby divisions are of different saliency to different groups. At the top of the pyramid is division between Arabs and Jews, but one rung down from this are the intra-Jewish divisions, be they religious, ethnic or political in nature. In the case of Shas, the religious and ethnic elements are the most salient. The secular–religious divide is a key fault line in Israel and one in which ultra-orthodox parties like Shas are at the forefront. They and their politically secular counterparts form a key division in Israel, and an exploration of Shas is an insightful means of exploring this division further, its history and causes, and how these groups interact politically.

  • The Labor Party and the Peace Camp
    The Labor Party and the Peace Camp By Uzi Baram In contemporary Israeli public discourse, the preoccupation with ideology has died down markedly, to the point that even releasing a political platform as part of elections campaigns has become superfluous. Politicians from across the political spectrum are focused on distinguishing themselves from other contenders by labeling themselves and their rivals as right, left and center, while floating around in the air are slogans such as “political left,” social left,” “soft right,” “new right,” and “mainstream right.” Yet what do “left” and “right” mean in Israel, and to what extent do these slogans as well as the political division in today’s Israel correlate with the political traditions of the various parties? Is the Labor Party the obvious and natural heir of The Workers Party of the Land of Israel (Mapai)? Did the historical Mapai under the stewardship of Ben Gurion view itself as a left-wing party? Did Menachem Begin’s Herut Party see itself as a right-wing party? The Zionist Left and the Soviet Union As far-fetched as it may seem in the eyes of today’s onlooker, during the first years after the establishment of the state, the position vis-à-vis the Soviet Union was the litmus test of the left camp, which was then called “the workers’ camp.” This camp viewed the centrist liberal “General Zionists” party, which was identified with European liberal and middle-class beliefs in private property and capitalism, as its chief ideological rival (and with which the heads of major cities such as Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan were affiliated)­.

  • Ansätze Einer Jüdisch-Arabischen Normalisierung in Israel. Arabische
    NR. 21 MÄRZ 2021 Einleitung Ansätze einer jüdisch-arabischen Normalisierung in Israel Arabische Israelis wollen pragmatischere Politik, jüdische Parteien werben um arabische Stimmen Lidia Averbukh Im Vorfeld zur Knesset-Wahl 2021 werben jüdische Parteien aktiv um die Stimmen der israelischen Araber, die 17 Prozent der wahlberechtigten Israelis stellen. Zugleich äußern arabische Israelis verstärkt das Bedürfnis nach einer Politik, die zur Verbesse- rung ihrer Lebensumstände beiträgt und ihnen mehr politische Beteiligung ermög- licht. Während das arabische Parteienbündnis Vereinte Liste seinen traditionellen Oppositionskurs beibehält und dabei die Abspaltung ihres Mitglieds Islamische Bewe- gung (Ra’am) in Kauf nahm, treten im Wahlkampf neue Akteure auf, die eine pragma- tischere arabische Politik betreiben und auf Zusammenarbeit mit jüdischen Parteien setzen. Der Konflikt und die Identität des jüdischen Staates Israel spielen für sie allen- falls eine Nebenrolle. Ähnlich sieht es in der israelischen Kommunalpolitik aus. Dort wird eine interessensbasierte jüdisch-arabische Kooperation bereits praktiziert. »Für viele Jahre war die arabische Öffent- zuschüchtern.

  • The SITUATION: Raving Mad Voters
    The SITUATION: Raving Mad Voters Because of Israel’s system of proportional representation, and a low threshold for getting into the Knesset, at least 30 parties and lists competed. It has been suggested that young people going to Turkey for a drug- infested “rave” celebrating the solar eclipse, and not staying to vote for the Green Leaf (marijuana) party, prevented it from winning seats in the Knesset. Its party supporters went to the wrong party. A likely minister in the new government, Rafi Eitan, head of the new party for penshioners (“Gil), that rose from nowhere to win seven seats, would probably be arrested if he visits the US; this 80 year-old former Shin Bet and Mossad intelligence operative was Jonathan Pollard’s handler. Eitan has been personally close to Ariel Sharon since at least 1970, but was not offered a secure seat on the Kadima list after Sharon’s stroke. He then decided to launch his own party and it drew a lot of protest votes — apparently from many young people. Recent elections usually have a centrist party that makes a stir and then disappears. The last one of this sort was Shinui — the change party — which combined a fiercely secularist slant with a pro-market economics orientation and a moderately dovish foreign policy. Shinui was once a part of the left- wing Meretz alliance, but half went on its own in 1997 and was wildly successful in 2003 with 15 seats. It suffered internal division and fielded two separate lists in this election, neither of which got into the Knesset; most of its constituency was lost to Kadima.

  • The Arab-Israel War of 1967 1967 Was the Year of the Six-Day War
    The Arab-Israel War of 1967 1967 was the year of the six-day war. Here we bring together its impact on Israel and on the Jewish communities in the Arab countries; United States Middle East policy and United Nations deliberations; effects on the East European Communist bloc, its citizens, and its Jewish communities, and American opinion. For discus- sions of reactions in other parts of the world, see the reviews of individual countries. THE EDITORS Middle East Israel A ALL aspects of Israel's life in 1967 were dominated by the explosion of hostilities on June 5. Two decades of Arab-Israel tension culminated in a massive combined Arab military threat, which was answered by a swift mobilization of Israel's citizen army and, after a period of waiting for international action, by a powerful offensive against the Egyptian, Jor- danian and Syrian forces, leading to the greatest victory in Jewish military annals. During the weeks of danger preceding the six-day war, Jewry throughout the world rallied to Israel's aid: immediate financial support was forthcoming on an unprecedented scale, and thousands of young volunteers offered per- sonal participation in Israel's defense, though they arrived too late to affect the issue (see reviews of individual countries). A new upsurge of national confidence swept away the morale crisis that had accompanied the economic slowdown in 1966. The worldwide Jewish reaction to Israel's danger, and the problems associated with the extension of its military rule over a million more Arabs, led to a reappraisal of atti- tudes towards diaspora Jewry.

  • Inequality, Identity, and the Long-Run Evolution of Political Cleavages in Israel 1949-2019
    WID.world WORKING PAPER N° 2020/17 Inequality, Identity, and the Long-Run Evolution of Political Cleavages in Israel 1949-2019 Yonatan Berman August 2020 Inequality, Identity, and the Long-Run Evolution of Political Cleavages in Israel 1949{2019 Yonatan Berman∗ y August 20, 2020 Abstract This paper draws on pre- and post-election surveys to address the long run evolution of vot- ing patterns in Israel from 1949 to 2019. The heterogeneous ethnic, cultural, educational, and religious backgrounds of Israelis created a range of political cleavages that evolved throughout its history and continue to shape its political climate and its society today. De- spite Israel's exceptional characteristics, we find similar patterns to those found for France, the UK and the US. Notably, we find that in the 1960s{1970s, the vote for left-wing parties was associated with lower social class voters. It has gradually become associated with high social class voters during the late 1970s and later. We also find a weak inter-relationship between inequality and political outcomes, suggesting that despite the social class cleavage, identity-based or \tribal" voting is still dominant in Israeli politics.

  • The National Left (First Draft) by Shmuel Hasfari and Eldad Yaniv
    The National Left (First Draft) by Shmu'el Hasfari and Eldad Yaniv Open Source Center OSC Summary: A self-published book by Israeli playwright Shmu'el Hasfari and political activist Eldad Yaniv entitled "The National Left (First Draft)" bemoans the death of Israel's political left. http://www.fas.org/irp/dni/osc/israel-left.pdf Statement by the Authors The contents of this publication are the responsibility of the authors, who also personally bore the modest printing costs. Any part of the material in this book may be photocopied and recorded. It is recommended that it should be kept in a data-storage system, transmitted, or recorded in any form or by any electronic, optical, mechanical means, or otherwise. Any form of commercial use of the material in this book is permitted without the explicit written permission of the authors. 1. The Left The Left died the day the Six-Day War ended. With the dawn of the Israeli empire, the Left's sun sank and the Small [pun on Smol, the Hebrew word for Left] was born. The Small is a mark of Cain, a disparaging term for a collaborator, a lover of Arabs, a hater of Israel, a Jew who turns against his own people, not a patriot. The Small-ists eat pork on Yom Kippur, gobble shrimps during the week, drink espresso whenever possible, and are homos, kapos, artsy-fartsy snobs, and what not. Until 1967, the Left actually managed some impressive deeds -- it took control of the land, ploughed, sowed, harvested, founded the state, built the army, built its industry from scratch, fought Arabs, settled the land, built the nuclear reactor, brought millions of Jews here and absorbed them, and set up kibbutzim, moshavim, and agriculture.

  • Jews in General Anders' Army in the Soviet Union
    Jews in General Anders’ Army In the Soviet Union by Yisrael Gutman 1. The Organizational Phase Mustering of the Polish Armed Forces in the Soviet Union (Polskie Sity Zborjne w ZSSR), known as “Anders’ Army”, began during the latter half of 1941. Until the end of July 1941, the Polish Government-in-Exile in London had not maintained diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union, condemning her as an invader who had conspired with Nazi Germany to seize the eastern portions of Poland during the invasion of 1939. Even the dramatic volte-face in the wake of Hitler’s attack on the Soviet Union on July 22, 1941 did not bring about an immediate thaw in Polish-Soviet relations. The Polish Prime Minister in Exile, Wladyslaw Sikorski, maintained that Poland should seek avenues of consultation with the Soviet Union and that she should join the new alignment of forces arising out of the Soviet Union’s entering the anti-Nazi camp. The Poles did insist however that any agreement with the Soviet Union be conditional upon an unequivocal Soviet commitment that the Polish state to be reconstituted after the war have its former eastern borders reinstated – that is, the Soviet Union was to rescind its annexation of Western Byelorussia, the Western Ukraine and the Vilna district. The Soviets refused to undertake any such commitment while the tense and exhausting deliberations on the issue resulted in a split amongst the Poles. The radical faction among the Polish exiles — the Endeks,* the last of the Sanacja** supporters of Pilsudski and also a minority of the socialists — would not agree to any formulation that did * Members of the Narodowa Demokracja — ND — The right-wing National- Democratic Party, of an extreme anti-Semitic character.

  • CANDIDATES, PARTIES and BLOCS Israel in the 1990S
    02 Arian (JB/D) 5/10/01 11:36 am Page 689 PARTY POLITICS VOL 7. No.6 pp. 689–710 Copyright © 2001 SAGE Publications London Thousand Oaks New Delhi CANDIDATES, PARTIES AND BLOCS Israel in the 1990s Asher Arian and Michal Shamir ABSTRACT The Israeli party system, its parties and its voters, have undergone tremendous change. From a stable dominant party system through a competitive two-bloc system, it finds itself in the 1990s in a state of dealignment, with weakening parties, loosening party ties, fragmen- tation, growing volatility and frequent turnover in government. The combination of electoral reform, which instituted direct elections of the Prime Minister, new voting groups, and international shifts exacerbated in Israel the processes which characterize all Western democracies. While the party system and the parties are in disarray, candidates, issues and the political blocs of left and right grow in importance. KEY WORDS Ⅲ dealignment Ⅲ Israel Ⅲ issue voting Ⅲ left–right blocs Political systems change, and they change in complex ways. Just as a range of factors affects the decision of the individual voter, myriad forces drive the transformation of a society and its political system. The rules of the game may be altered; new groups of voters may emerge; international or econ- omic shifts may present new challenges. Were one to seek an apt site and an appropriate setting to study these matters, the choice of the 1999 elections in Israel would be most felicitous. Some observers, especially in the foreign media, interpreted the election of Ehud Barak as prime minister as a fundamental sea change in Israeli priorities and belief patterns.
