Jewish statehood was restored in 1948 amid a struggle over
legitimacy that has persisted in Israel ever since: Who rules? Who
decides? Antagonism between the political left and right erupted
into bloody violence over the Altalena. Secular-religious discord
even made defining who is a Jew in a Jewish state contentious.
After the Six-Day War, the return of religious Zionist settlers to
biblical Judea and Samaria reframed the struggle over legitimacy.
Who decides where in the Land of Israel Jews may live: settlers and
rabbis or the government? Israel's invasion of Lebanon in 1982
provoked the first significant eruption of military disobedience,
undermining the authority of the Israel Defense Forces with
competing claims of personal conscience. Ever since the United
Nations declared Zionism to be "a form of racism," Israel has
confronted an escalating international assault on its legitimacy.
In political, academic, media, and cultural circles it has been
demonized as an "apartheid," even "Nazi," state that much of the
world despises. These conflicts are explored in this illuminating
study of the dilemmas of legitimacy in the world's only Jewish
state and most reviled pariah nation. A new addition to the
Contemporary Society Series from Quid Pro Books.
