Jewish state or Israeli nation?

A study of Jewish and Zionist national history, presenting an approach opposed to the prevalent Zionist ones, stating that the latter are ideological, they often distort historical facts, and they fail to throw light on contemporary Israel and world Jewry. Analyzes the decline of Zionism, and suggests a regional federation of Israel and her Arab neighbors, stating that only within such a federal structure will it be possible to overcome the self-segregating, communal, and protofascist tendencies gathering strength in Israeli society. Ch. 3 (pp. 68-86), "Anti-Semitism: The European Background, " links the rise of antisemitism in the 19th century with growing tensions within the system of European nation-states. The Jewish problem reared its head when Jews, seeking to become integrated as equal citizens in the bourgeois state, encountered the refusal of society (as distinct from the state) to accept them. Contends that the argument that the Jews are "essentially alien" to their host societies, an antisemitic argument swallowed whole by the Zionists, is in reality purely metaphysical. Discusses nationalism, the nation-state, and forces in society which arouse antisemitism under specific circumstances.
