It is claimed that Zionism as a meta-narrative has been formed
through contradiction to two alternative models, the Canaanite and
crusader narratives. These narratives are the most daring and
heretical assaults on Israeli-Jewish identity. The Israelis,
according to the Canaanite narrative, are from this place and
belong only here; according to the crusader narrative, they are
from another place and belong there. The mythological construction
of Zionism as a modern crusade describes Israel as a Western
colonial enterprise planted in the heart of the East and alien to
the area, its logic and its peoples. The nativist construction of
Israel as neo-Canaanism demands breaking away from the chain of
historical continuity. These are the greatest anxieties that
Zionism and Israel needed to encounter and answer forcefully. The
Origins of Israeli Mythology seeks to examine the intellectual
archaeology of Israeli mythology, as it reveals itself through the
Canaanite and crusader narratives.
