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 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.

  • 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’.

  • Model Zionist Conference
    Model Zionist Conference The Model Zionist Conference material is divided into nine sections, one for each delegation: six pro-Zionist delegations and three anti-Zionist delegations. Pro-Zionist: 1) Political Zionism 2) Religious Zionism 3) Cultural Zionism 4) Socialist Zionism 5) Revisionist Zionism 6) Conservative Judaism Anti-Zionist: 1) Reform Judaism 2) Agudat Yisrael 3) Universalistic Socialism (Bund) Because some religious groups did not have formal positions on Zionism, the source sheets make use of the perspectives of leading personalities. Each section contains a brief description of the group’s ideological position, short biographies of main proponents, and where possible, citations. The citations were for the most part originally written in German, Hebrew or Yiddish and this unit relies heavily on the translations by Arthur Hertzberg found in his book, The Zionist Idea: A Historical Analysis and Reader. Others were taken from The Jew in the Modern World: A Documentary History by Paul Mendes-Flohr and Jehuda Reinharz. Downloaded from www.lookstein.org Political Zionism Main proponents: Theodor Herzl, Max Nordau, Leo Pinsker Philosophy: Many European Jews, imbued with the spirit of the enlightenment, strove to become accepted in general society. Many found, however, that in spite of the lofty ideals of emancipation, Jews were unable to gain full acceptance in non-Jewish society because of anti-Semitic barriers. The subtle anti-Semitism of Western Europe and the physical anti-Semitism of Eastern Europe drove many Jews to Zionism. This brand of Zionism was motivated not by the desire to revive Jewish culture, but by the drive to create a haven where Jews, unhampered by anti-Semitism, would be free to live enlightened lives.

  • Front Matter
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-02862-3 - A History of Modern Israel: Second Edition Colin Shindler Frontmatter More information A HISTORY OF MODERN ISRAEL Second Edition Colin Shindler’s remarkable history begins in 1948, as waves of immi- grants arrived in Israel from war-torn Europe to establish new cities, new institutions and a new culture founded on the Hebrew language. Optimistic beginnings were soon replaced with the sobering reality of wars with Arab neighbours, internal ideological differences and an ongoing confrontation with the Palestinians. The author paints a broad canvas that affords unusual insights into Israel’s multicultural society, forged from more than 100 different Jewish communities and united by a common history.
