Nationalism and Religion -- Take 2 H-Nationalism Nationalism and Religion -- Take 2 Blog Post published by Yoav Peled on Monday, May 24, 2021 In this post Yoav Peled, Tel Aviv University, discusses the relations between nationalism and religion among Muslims and Jews in Israel. In March 2021 Israel held its fourth general election in two years, which resulted in the same deadlock between Benjamin Netanyahu’s populist supporters and his opponents as the previous three campaigns. (This is not an issue of left and right, as the anti-Netanyahu bloc includes several right- wing parties.) Right before the elections, the United Arab List (UAL), an Islamist political party which represents one of two affiliates of the Muslim Brotherhood in Israel (the other affiliate has been outlawed), split from the United List, a coalition of four Arab political parties espousing different shades of Palestinian nationalism. Upon leaving the United List, UAL’s leader, Mansour Abbas, a dentist by profession, declared that his party would be open to negotiate with either side of the political map, including Netanyahu’s bloc, the most nationalist, i.e., anti-Palestinian, political formation in Israel’s history. As it turned out, after the elections Netanyahu and his bloc were short two Knesset seats (out of 120) to form a governing coalition, and the UAL had four seats, which could have carried Netanyahu over the top. However, Religious Zionism, the most right-wing party in Netanyahu’s bloc, which gained six seats, refused to participate in a coalition that would depend on an Arab party, even if that party’s support will be only in the form of abstaining in the crucial vote in the Knesset.1 Religious Zionism Religious Zionism is a tendency within the Zionist movement, established in 1902. Until 1967 it was a moderating force in Israeli politics vis-à-vis the Israeli-Arab conflict. Since 1967, however, religious Zionists spearheaded the efforts to settle Jews in the Occupied Palestinian Territories in order to keep them in Israel’s possession. 2 The movement is now split between two right-wing political parties: a more mainstream party called Yamina (Rightward), and a more extreme party, religiously and nationalistically, that took the name Religious Zionism. The latter is widely considered to be heir to Rabbi Meir Kahane’s Kach party, which was outlawed and declared a terror organization in 1994 for being racist and anti-democratic. So what does this tell us about the dynamics of nationalism and religion in Israel? An anti-Zionist Islamist political party was willing to forsake the cause of Palestinian nationalism, at least for the moment, in return for various material concessions from a right-wing Israeli government, while an ultra-nationalist, religious Jewish political party was willing to sabotage the attempt to form the most extremely Jewish nationalist government in Israel’s history by refusing to cooperate with an Arab party even in the most minimal way. Saved by Hamas Luckily for Netanyahu and his bloc, as their rivals were about to form a government with UAL support, another affiliate of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas in Gaza, launched a rocket attack on Citation: Yoav Peled.

The purpose of that intervention was to establish Hamas as defender of Palestinian interests in Jerusalem, in the face of the inaction of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) led by the officially secular Fatah nationalist movement. Moreover, the PNA recently “postponed” indefinitely parliamentary elections that were supposed to be held in May 2021 and in which Hamas was going to be the clear winner, giving Hamas an added incentive to display its might. Hamas’s attack unleashed a major campaign of shock and awe against Gaza, with Hamas responding in kind, but with vastly inferior capabilities. This exchange of fire lasted eleven days. In addition, a series of mutual lynchings and pogroms between Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel ensued in mixed cities inside the country. Under these circumstances, Yamina, the more mainstream religious Zionist party, which has seven seats in the Knesset, could not be part of a coalition that included an Arab party either, and deserted the anti-Netanyahu bloc, dooming its chances to form a government. This will lead, most probably, to another round of general elections next fall. Thus, Hamas, in effect, gave the Netanyahu regime a renewed lease on life.3 Insights A number of insights may be drawn from this episode, at least provisionally, relating to the nature of Islam and Judaism and their inter-relations in the Israeli/Palestinian context, and maybe beyond: Since Islam, unlike Judaism, is a multi-national religion, in a formally democratic context a moderately religious Islamist party can pragmatically suspend its (unrealistic) nationalist aspirations in favor of real-life deals with a ruling party that is diametrically opposed to it ideologically. Non- religious nationalist Palestinian parties would find it much more difficult to engage in bargaining of this kind. While in the case of the UAL religion moderated its nationalism, since Israeli Judaism is identical with Jewish nationalism, in the case of Religious Zionism its religiosity hardened its nationalism to the point of almost enabling a rival political bloc to come to power. The dynamics of nationalism and religion depend, among other factors, on the religious group’s status as majority or minority in the society. A minority nationalist-religious group, struggling for equal rights, will tend to be more pragmatic than a majority group enjoying the privileges of power. The differences between Hamas and Fatah may indicate that in the context of anticolonial struggle religion will reinforce nationalism, while in other situations it may moderate it. Notes 1. Before the elections Religious Zionism had even sought to bar the UAL from running altogether, but its appeal was turned down by the Central Elections Commission. Bezalel Smotrich, head of Religious Zionism, recently declared that the Palestinian citizens of Israel are citizens “for now.” 2.

  • Opinion New Government, New President, New Israel?
    Journal of Military and Strategic VOLUME 20, ISSUE 3 Studies Opinion New Government, New President, New Israel? Melanie Carina Schmoll, PhD Israel in summer 2021 – the end of the pandemic seems to be near. Israel opens up, almost all mask requirements are cancelled, international travel groups are welcome and even the individual guests are allowed to travel to the Holy Land with almost no restrictions. It seems Israel is back in pre-pandemic times. But it is not the same country anymore. Some fundamental changes have happened over the last few weeks. When, in March 2021, the Israelis had to vote again for the Israeli Parliament, the Knesset, it was for the fourth time within two and a half years. The outcome was almost the same as the three times before. Benjamin Nethanyahu, Israel´s long-time prime minister, won most of the seats with his Likud party. As the State of Israel is a parlamentary democracy the executive branch or the government draws its authority from the Parliament (the legislative branch) and needs its confidence. Therefore, the prime minister is not decided directly by the voters but depends instead on a process of bargaining among the various fractions elected to parliament. In Israel, no single party holds most of the seats in Parliament and thus the process of forming a government is long and complicated.1 Israel also has an extreme proportional system of government, 1 For more information see Melanie Carina Schmoll, “Israel and the permanent siege: The people have spoken - who will find an answer to the needs of the voters?” Journal of Military and Strategic Studies 20, 1 (2019).

  • JCRC Statement in Response to Potential Inclusion of Otzma Yehudit in Israeli Government
    For Immediate Release Contact: Jeremy Russell February 25, 2019 Director of Marketing and Communications [email protected] JCRC Statement in Response to Potential Inclusion of Otzma Yehudit in Israeli Government San Francisco, CA – The Jewish Community Relations Council of San Francisco, the Peninsula, Marin, Sonoma, Alameda and Contra Costa Counties (JCRC) is deeply concerned about reports of an agreement between the Bayit Yehudi or “Jewish Home” and the Otzma Yehudit or “Jewish Power” parties to run on a joint list in the April Knesset (Israeli Parliament) elections. Otzma Yehudit is the ideological successor of the Kach party, which was founded by Meir Kahane, who espoused racist, extremist and violent views. Kach was designated a terrorist organization under Israeli, American and European law. Furthermore, it was banned from the Knesset for inciting violence, and ultimately outlawed from Israel altogether. Statements from party leaders and the party platform make it clear that Otzma Yehudit continues to hold these reprehensible views. Since 2007, the Bay Area Jewish community has been on record in support of “a two‐state solution to end the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis, in which the parties peacefully coexist with fully normalized diplomatic relations, in mutual cooperation that promotes the economic development and social welfare of their respective citizens.” Furthermore, in 2018, at the culmination of a nine-month education and deliberation process that engaged the wide swath of the Jewish community, the JCRC Assembly – comprised of 80 community members representing the rich diversity of the Bay Area Jewish community – issued a consensus policy statement on the delegitimization of Israel.

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 WAR OF THE TORAH": THE ISRAELI RELIGIOUS PEACE MOVEMENTS' STRUGGLE FOR LEGITIMATION Gerald Cromer Since the Six-Day War, religious Zionism has been increasing ly identified with the ideology of the Complete Land of Israel (Er etz Yisrael Hashlema). The maximalist stance on the territorial issue has become depoliticized and achieved a taken-for-granted status. The religious peace movements have interpreted privileged texts and politicized the annual cycle offestivals in an attempt to break this ideological hegemony and to show that their more dov ish stance is also grounded in an authentic reading of Jewish tra dition. However, they have failed to create the cultural resonance that is an essential prerequisite for success. The Long Journey to the Right With the signing of the armistice agreements in 1948, the question of Israel's boundaries disappeared from the public agen da. The right-wing Herut movement continued to dream and sing about "the two banks of the Jordan," but for all intents and pur poses the subject was no longer relevant.

  • 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.

  • 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.
