Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

  • The Life and Death of Socialist Zionism
    The Life and Death of Socialist Zionism Jason Schulman (Published in New Politics, vol. 9, no. 3 (new series), whole no. 35, Summer 2003) In previous decades it was not uncommon for democratic leftists, Jewish ones in particular, to believe that the state of Israel was on the road to exemplifying—as Irving Howe once put it—“the democratic socialist hope of combining radical social change with political freedom.”1 But times have obviously changed. Today, no one would argue with the assertion that Israeli socialism is “is going the way of the kibbutz farmer,” even if the government continues to be the major shareholder in many Israeli banks, retains majority control in state-owned enterprises, owns a considerable percent of the country's land, and exerts considerable influence in most sectors of the economy.2 The kibbutzim themselves, held up as “the essence of the socialist-Zionist ideal of collectivism and egalitarianism,” are fast falling victim “to the pursuit of individual fulfillment.”3 The Labor Party is ever more estranged from Israel’s trade union movement, and when it governs it does so less and less like a social-democratic party, and its economic program has become ever more classically liberal. To many Israelis, who remember the years of Labor bureaucratic power, “socialism” means little more than “state elitism.” In examining “what happened,” it is worthwhile to ask what precisely the content of Israeli socialism was from its inception. There are essentially two narratives of “actually-existing” Labor (Socialist) Zionism. One argues that the most important of the Zionist colonists were utopian socialists who had no intent to be either exploiter or exploited.

  • The Split Within the Poale Zion's Left Wing
    Serhiy Hirik SERHIY HIRIK The Split within the Poale State Research Institution Zion’s Left Wing: Two Versions “Encyclopedia Press” of Jewish National Communism1 National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy [email protected] Abstract The organizations of the Jewish Social Demo- cratic Workers’ Party (Poale Zion) in Ukraine and Belarus have experienced two major splits during the revolutionary events of the 1917–1920. The first of them was a classical form of the division into a left and a right wings. In 1917, the left one was formed although it did not become a separate par- ty then. In 1919, the leaders of the Poale Zion’s right wing, who were sympathetic to the authority of the Ukrainian People’s Republic, had moved to Kamianets-Podilskyi and later to Tarnów in Poland together with the leaders of the Directorate of Ukraine. Unlike them, the representatives of the par- ty’s left wing remained on the territory controlled by the Red Army. These groups received the status of a Soviet party. Thereby their activity in Soviet Ukraine and Belarus became legal. In 1919, the second split took place. The left wing of the JSDWP(PZ) was divided into two groups both considering themselves as leftist. The first one was the Jewish Communist Party (Po- ale Zion). In 1922, it has merged with the Bolsheviks. The other group has changed its name to the Jewish Communist Workers’ Party (Poale Zion) in 1923 and operated until 1928. These two parties had major ideological distinctions. We trace them in our paper basing on archival sources and the press published by these groups, as well as the documents of the Bolshe- viks and some of Ukrainian national communist parties.

The main argument made in the paper is that while the formal legal structure of the cooperatives belonging to the labor movement was an outcome of the convergence in time and space of legal transplantation (the British Mandate legislation) and the implant of the culture of Jewish cooperatives in Eastern-Europe, it was the cooperative culture as developed by the Federation that prevailed in constituting the practices and understandings of the cooperatives and their members.

  • The Arts of Public Health: a Hebrew Motherhood Guide of the 1930S
    My curiosity about the kinds of questions we can ask of Zionism’s “New Woman” led me to a 1930s series of three Hebrew motherhood guides published in the yishuv (the Jewish community of British Mandate Palestine). I came across these motherhood guides quite by accident, because they are almost completely ignored in the scholarly record—which is rather strange, given that in their time, these guides were widely available and highly praised in the Jewish press. A reviewer in the Hebrew periodical Ofakim (April 1934), holding one The Arts of Public of the books in his hands, called it “the most beautiful book ever to be published in the Health: A Hebrew yishuv.” These were indeed substantial books: the first in the series was 275 pages (1933–1934), Motherhood the second 250 pages (1934–1935), and the Guide of the 1930s third, 150 (1935–1936). The editors, Yosef Meir and Yisrael Rivkai, wrote in the series intro- duction that the books were designed to be Andrea Siegel revolutionary in both form and content. The books highlight two interwoven phenomena in the yishuv of the 1930s: the spectacular growth of the field of sexual health with the immigration of doctors from Central Europe to Palestine, and the recognition on the part of mainstream Zionist leaders in the wake of the 1929 Palestine Arab Riots that they had hit a tipping point with the “Arab Question.” It was time to look closely at realities on the ground, now that hopes for coexistence had dimmed. Although these three motherhood guides rarely feature overt discussion of the Arab Question, we can see how it contoured local Jewish public health campaigns.

  • A CHANCE NOT TAKEN Zionist–Hungarian Diplomatic Co-Operation
    A CHANCE NOT TAKEN Zionist–Hungarian diplomatic co-operation in the second half of the 1930s Attila Novák In Hungary between the two world wars Zionism was an ideological current which aroused deep resistance in the ranks of both the political right-wing and the Jewish leadership. Zionism, an ideology which tried to reformulate the definition of Jews as a people, could not count much on allies, since it sharply opposed assimilation, which had traditionally been the stance of the official Jewish establishment, which considered the Jews a part of the Hungarian nation. At the same time, the Hungarian state and the political right-wing opposed the Zionist movement for two reasons: on the one hand, they regarded it as a form of Jewish separatism, and therefore contrary to the concept of the Hungarian nation-state; on the other hand, the officials of the Horthy regime, deeply imbued with anti-communist fears after the Commune of 1919, regarded even non-communist leftists as potentially dangerous communists. Zionists were a minority of a minority, their political status and social acceptance was very low, so the leading liberal and other organs referred to them only in cases of scandal and police investigations. The idea of an independent Jewish nation-state was rejected by all the players in Hungarian Jewish and non-Jewish political society, therefore the official tone used by Hungarian Zionist leaders was compassionate and ardently Hungarian nationalist. The ideological position and policy of the Zionists was quite exceptional. The majority of Hungarian Jewry and the official Jewish organisations (religious communities) considered themselves true Hungarian patriots, whose Jewishness (as a unique distinctive feature) was limited to the special Jewish ‘faith’.
