Excerpt from Social Zionism: Selected Essays The restoration of Palestine as the national homeland of the Jewish people Is rapidly approaching realization. For centuries, pious Jews have prayed for It; for decades, Jewish pioneering colonists have striven for it; for the past twenty years, Jews everywhere have banded together in the Zionist Organization to achieve it. The impelling forces were diverse: the religious, racial, philanthropic, and economic predominated. But the rapid growth of the Zionist movement in recent years is due, perhaps, in largest measure to the added hope and belief that in a Palestine with an eventual Jewish majority, and therefore in a revived Jewish civilization, the social visions of the people of Israel would be translated Into law and practice: that the Jewish people chosen as ever for service, would thereby be enabled again to offer to the world an example of social Justice, the finest fruit of a nations creative power. The Pittsburgh Program represents in part this social view: the author of Social Zionism, as one of its makers, is especially fitted to expound its principles, especially insofar as they relate to land and taxation.

Zionism, more than any other social and political movement in the modern era, has completely and fundamentally altered the self-image of the Jewish people and its relations with the non- Jewish world. As the dominant expression of Jewish nationalism, Zionism revolutionized the very concept of Jewish peoplehood, taking upon itself the transformation of the Jewish people from a minority into a majority, and from a diaspora community into a territorial one. Bringing together for the first time the work of the most distinguished historians of Zionism and the Yishuv (pre-state Israeli society), many never before translated into English, this volume offers a comprehensive treatment of the history of Zionism. The contributions are diverse, examining such topics as the ideological development of the Jewish nationalist movement, Zionist trends in the Land of Israel, and relations between Jews, Arabs, and the British in Palestine. Contributors include: Jacob Katz, Shmuel Almog, Yosef Salmon, David Vital, Steven J. Zipperstein, Michael Heymann, Jonathan Frankel, George L. Berlin, Israel Oppenheim, Gershon Shaked, Joseph Heller, Hagit Lavsky, and Bernard Wasserstein.

Judith Butler follows Edward Said’s late suggestion that through a consideration of Palestinian dispossession in relation to Jewish diasporic traditions a new ethos can be forged for a one-state solution. Butler engages Jewish philosophical positions to articulate a critique of political Zionism and its practices of illegitimate state violence, nationalism, and state-sponsored racism. At the same time, she moves beyond communitarian frameworks, including Jewish ones, that fail to arrive at a radical democratic notion of political cohabitation. Butler engages thinkers such as Edward Said, Emmanuel Levinas, Hannah Arendt, Primo Levi, Martin Buber, Walter Benjamin, and Mahmoud Darwish as she articulates a new political ethic. In her view, it is as important to dispute Israel’s claim to represent the Jewish people as it is to show that a narrowly Jewish framework cannot suffice as a basis for an ultimate critique of Zionism. She promotes an ethical position in which the obligations of cohabitation do not derive from cultural sameness but from the unchosen character of social plurality. Recovering the arguments of Jewish thinkers who offered criticisms of Zionism or whose work could be used for such a purpose, Butler disputes the specific charge of anti-Semitic self-hatred often leveled against Jewish critiques of Israel. Her political ethic relies on a vision of cohabitation that thinks anew about binationalism and exposes the limits of a communitarian framework to overcome the colonial legacy of Zionism. Her own engagements with Edward Said and Mahmoud Darwish form an important point of departure and conclusion for her engagement with some key forms of thought derived in part from Jewish resources, but always in relation to the non-Jew. Butler considers the rights of the dispossessed, the necessity of plural cohabitation, and the dangers of arbitrary state violence, showing how they can be extended to a critique of Zionism, even when that is not their explicit aim. She revisits and affirms Edward Said’s late proposals for a one-state solution within the ethos of binationalism. Butler’s startling suggestion: Jewish ethics not only demand a critique of Zionism, but must transcend its exclusive Jewishness in order to realize the ethical and political ideals of living together in radical democracy.

“A youthful breakaway from the traditional Jewish society of White Russia, Berl Katznelson (1887-1944) emigrated to Palestine [in 1909] during the pioneering spasm of socialist Zionism known as the second aliyah. In the interwar period he helped David Ben-Gurion and Yitzhak Tabenkin to establish several of Israel’s enduring Labour party frameworks and trade union institutions and thus to bring about socialist Zionism’s early hegemony. Wherein lay the source of Katznelson’s immense authority? What was his particular contribution to the development of the culture and mores of the developing Jewish society of his times? Anita Shapira’s achievement lies both in her subtle presentation of these questions and in her temperate search for the answers... This richly evocative biography... will allow social historians throughout the Western world to appraise a figure who is now becoming justly revered in his own country.” — The American Historical Review “Anita Shapira’s [book] was something of a best seller when it first appeared in Hebrew in 1980 and it is not difficult to understand the reason... Dr Shapira recounts Katznelson’s life in the context of the fluctuating Arab-Jewish relationship and the waverings of mandatory policy; the whole dominated increasingly by the deteriorating Jewish position in Europe. That is what makes this book more than a biography — it is also a contribution to the history of Israel in its formative stage. The present English edition... remains an essential work for the understanding of Zionist and Israeli history.” — The English Historical Review “It is to the credit of Anita Shapira that she has single-handedly rescued Berl Katznelson from oblivion. When her book was first published in Hebrew, it immediately became a best-seller and its author the focus of a great deal of media attention. For good reasons. The book obviously touched a nostalgic nerve in the general public, perhaps a longing for a lost generation of giant idealists. But it could do so — though this was hardly the author’s intention — because it portrayed an unidealized, very human and therefore very real man. It is rare to find an historian Professor Shapira’s caliber, who also has the talents of a novelist... Throughout the book one feels the sure hand of the historian guiding the reader, examining with him the subject of the book from a few angles, employing a variety of techniques and sources (primarily archival), until a fully rounded personality emerges... this volume [is] a well-rounded, sympathetic, yet by no means uncritical analysis of one of the most fascinating figures in Jewish life in the twentieth century.” — Middle Eastern Studies “[T]he first full scholarly life of one of Israel’s founding fathers... The portrait which emerges here is of an attractive leader, whose personality inspired a degree of respect and devotion bordering worship. The author admits the difficulty in pinpointing the sources of Katznelson’s magnetism, but she demonstrates how it infused the varied facets of his socialist politics, which he took to be as much a moral as an organizational calling. In effect, his greatness was in his personification of the conscience of the Jewish labour movement in its formative phase in the interwar years.” — History “This book is an abridged version of a two-volume work in Hebrew, published in 1980. It covers Katznelson’s personal life and political activities in attempting to answer the riddle of his special leadership powers and can serve as an introduction to the study of Labor Zionism in Palestine between 1914 and 1944... this book makes a contribution to discovering the roots of today’s conflicts.” — Middle East Journal

This volume contains the first broad selection of essays made available in English by Ber Borochov, one of the leading intellectuals of the early Zionist movement. Borochov founded the Labor Zionist party in 1906, and was the pillar of the Israeli Labor party from whose ranks arose such figures as David Ben-Gurion and Itzhak Ben-Tsvi. He is best remembered for his ability to synthesize socialism and nationalism.Borochov argues that early Marxist theory failed to understand the causes of nationalism and views it only as a temporary phenomenon. Borochov tried to synthesize socialism with Jewish nationalism. Zionism was a movement necessary to free oppressed Eastern European Jews and permit them to further socialist ideals in their own nation-state. The dilemma is that socialist internationalism requires national culture to be of no further value once a socialist victory occurs in a country. Borochov's essays provide an important, if largely unknown perspective on these questions.

The well-known historian and political scientist Zeev Sternhell here advances a radically new interpretation of the founding of modern Israel. The founders claimed that they intended to create both a landed state for the Jewish people and a socialist society. However, according to Sternhell, socialism served the leaders of the influential labor movement more as a rhetorical resource for the legitimation of the national project of establishing a Jewish state than as a blueprint for a just society. In this thought-provoking book, Sternhell demonstrates how socialist principles were consistently subverted in practice by the nationalist goals to which socialist Zionism was committed. Sternhell explains how the avowedly socialist leaders of the dominant labor party, Mapai, especially David Ben Gurion and Berl Katznelson, never really believed in the prospects of realizing the "dream" of a new society, even though many of their working-class supporters were self-identified socialists. The founders of the state understood, from the very beginning, that not only socialism but also other universalistic ideologies like liberalism, were incompatible with cultural, historical, and territorial nationalism. Because nationalism took precedence over universal values, argues Sternhell, Israel has not evolved a constitution or a Bill of Rights, has not moved to separate state and religion, has failed to develop a liberal concept of citizenship, and, until the Oslo accords of 1993, did not recognize the rights of the Palestinians to independence. This is a controversial and timely book, which not only provides useful historical background to Israel's ongoing struggle to mobilize its citizenry to support a shared vision of nationhood, but also raises a question of general significance: is a national movement whose aim is a political and cultural revolution capable of coexisting with the universal values of secularism, individualism, and social justice? This bold critical reevaluation will unsettle long-standing myths as it contributes to a fresh new historiography of Zionism and Israel. At the same time, while it examines the past, The Founding Myths of Israel reflects profoundly on the future of the Jewish State.

Post-Zionism emerged as an intellectual and cultural movement in the late 1980s when a growing number of people inside and outside academia felt that Zionism, as a political ideology, had outlived its usefulness. The post-Zionist critique attempted to expose the core tenets of Zionist ideology and the way this ideology was used, to justify a series of violent or unjust actions by the Zionist movement, making the ideology of Zionism obsolete. In Beyond Post-Zionism Eran Kaplan explores how this critique emerged from the important social and economic changes Israel had undergone in previous decades, primarily the transition from collectivism to individualism and from socialism to the free market. Kaplan looks critically at some of the key post-Zionist arguments (the orientalist and colonial nature of Zionism) and analyzes the impact of post-Zionist thought on various aspects (literary, cinematic) of Israeli culture. He also explores what might emerge, after the political and social turmoil of the last decade, as an alternative to post-Zionism and as a definition of Israeli and Zionist political thought in the twenty-first century.
