Description

 							Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel - Israel Shahak & Norton
Mezvinsky
  
  Publication Year: 1999
  
  Language: English
  
 

  
  At the very heart of the modern
world is the idea that all people are born equal. Yet the Jewish religion teaches that people of Jewish faith are
special before God, and Jewish fundamentalism passionately defends this belief. This book considers the consequences of
this belief in the light of the considerable political influence and power of Jewish fundamentalism. The authors make a
clear distinction between the fundamentalist ideology of Israel's Ashkenazi Jews and that of the Sephardic Jews,
examining the growing impact of these two movements on Israel's political processes and their effects at a grassroots
level through the armed forces' relations with the Palestinian population. Shahak and Mezvinsky argue that Israeli
Jewish fundamentalism is closely associated with a new form of national religious Messianism which has its origins in
the settling of the conquered territories during the war of 1967 and which vehemently opposes the peace process.
Focusing on the consequences for Israel of these ideologies, the authors examine in particular the activities of
fundamentalist groups and individuals. Shahak and Mezvinsky conclude by analyzing the possible scenario of civil war in
Israel between religious fundamentalists and secularists.
  
  "Shahak is an outstanding scholar, with
remarkable insight and depth of knowledge. His work is informed and penetrating, a contribution of great value." -- Noam
Chomsky
  
  "The voice of reason is alive and well, and in Israel, of all places. Shahak is the latest -- if
not the last -- of the great prophets." -- Gore Vidal
  
  " In this deeply disturbing book Shahak and
Mezvinsky highlight the dangers that Jewish fundamentalism poses to democracy in Israel. Using Hebrew sources previously
untapped by Western researchers, the authors elucidate the religious philosophy that underpins the politics of Shas, the
National Religious Party and like-minded settler parties.......The picture they paint is a shocking one. Pulling no
punches they liken the 'intolerance' and 'hatred' of Jewish fundamentalist thought to Nazism (p65) and contend that both
the Israeli public and their politicians have been too indulgent of the religious parties.......Illuminative, insightful
and accessible, this is an important book that deserves as wide a readership as possible". Gordon Peake, St. Anthony's
College, Oxford.
  
  " The fact that Jewish fundamentalists in Israel glorify murderers, undermine the peace
process, and practice the most vicious forms of sexism is rarely even acknowledged. Many are afraid to mention this
problem for fear of encouraging the anti-Semitism that is endemic in all western societies.....Israel Shahak, an Israeli
human rights activist resident in Jerusalem for more than 40 years, and Norton Mezvinsky, an American history professor
with great experience in Judaism, have bravely decided to break the silence about the fundamentalist danger. They report
that the problem has been glossed over by those reporting on Israeli society much in the way that the crimes of
Stalinism were glossed over by some leftists in discussions about the late USSR......The authors conclude that if
fundamentalists ever get into power, they will treat non-Jews in Israel very badly, and treat Jews they consider
heretics - the vast majority of the Israeli population - even worse. Perhaps more frightening is that they would stop
female education and force women to withdraw from public life. The authors ....are right to warn us of the danger,
especially the danger of failing to give these people the attention they deserve and judge them as we would other
groups. The first thing for Americans to do is brave the wrath of those who don't allow Israel to be criticized and
demand a stop to US aid to a system which helps groups that are dangerous to women, democracy and world peace." -- The
Socialist
  
  " ... The dominant North American public intellectual culture 'disappears' the Shahaks and
Mezvinsky's with their upsetting challenges to prevailing dogma. (Their) explicit objective is to rouse the reader,
particularly the North American reader, into an acknowledgment that Jewish fundamentalism is as "pernicious" as other
fundamentalisms. This requires us to approach the Jewish past not as a folk-tale but as history.....some readers...could
be shocked, even affronted by the evidence presented. How influential is Jewish fundamentalism?.. The authors contend it
is enormous, particularly on the Likud.....Jewish fundamentalism seeks a return to ignorance, ritually prescribed
behavior, and authoritarianism inseparable from inhumane viciousness; in short, the recreation of the internal
conditions of pre-modern Jewry".-- The Outlook on Books, Canada's Progressive Jewish Magazine
