Abba Ahimeir (1897 –1962) writer, journalist and historian began his public life as a socialist, but subsequently moved toward the rightward extreme of Zionist ideology. One of the earliest opponents of the British Mandate, in 1930 he founded a radical organization called Brit Habiryonim (the Union of Zionist Rebels). This was a clandestine, self-declared fascist faction of the Revisionist Zionist Movement (ZRM) in Palestine whose official ideology was Maximalist Revisionism, an ideology for which Ahimeir is now most well-known. Ahimeir's career as a political activist came to an early end, when he was arrested in connection with the murder of the Labour Zionist leader, Chaim Arlosoroff. Although acquitted, Ahimeir nonetheless went to prison for his involvement as a political activist. This is the first intellectual biography of one of the most influential figures on the Zionist Right. Based on much unseen primary source material from the Ahimeir archive in Ramat Gan and the Jabotinsky Institute in Tel Aviv, as well as Ahimeir's newspaper articles, the author provides a rigorous analysis of Ahimeir's ideological development. The book positions him more accurately within the contexts of the Israeli right and the Zionist movement in general, updates common misunderstanding about this period of history and revises Israeli collective memory.

Two decades ago, the idea that a "radical right" could capture and drive Israeli politics seemed highly improbable. While it was a boisterous faction and received heavy media coverage, it constituted a fringe element. Yet by 2009, Israel's radical right had not only entrenched itself in mainstream Israeli politics, it was dictating policy in a wide range of areas. The government has essentially caved to the settlers on the West Bank, and restrictions on non-Jews in Israel have increased in the past few years. Members of the radical right have assumed prominent positions in Israel's elite security forces. The possibility of a two state solution seems more remote than ever, and the emergence of ethnonationalist politician Avigdor Lieberman suggests that its power is increasing. Quite simply, if we want to understand the seemingly intractable situation in Israel today, we need a comprehensive account of the radical right. In The Triumph of Israel's Radical Right, acclaimed scholar Ami Pedahzur provides an invaluable and authoritative analysis of its ascendance to the heights of Israeli politics. After analyzing what, exactly, they believe in, he explains how mainstream Israeli policies like "the right of return" have served as unexpected foundations for their nativism and authoritarian tendencies. He then traces the right's steady rise, from the first intifada to the "Greater Israel" movement that is so prominent today. Throughout, he focuses on the radical right's institutional networks and how the movement has been able to expand its constituency. His closing chapter is grim yet realistic: he contends that a two state solution is no longer viable and that the vision of the radical rabbi Meir Kahane, who was a fringe figure while alive, has triumphed.

The Israeli people were stunned in 1984 when they learned of a barely averted plot to blow up five buses full of Arab passengers and an earlier attempt to blow up the Dome of the Rock, the holy Muslim mosque in Jerusalem. Even more shocking was the discovery that the terrorists in question were not a bizarre radical sect, but members of the Gush Emunim, "the Block of the Faithful," a fundamentalist group committed to establishing Jewish settlements in the West Bank. For the first time, Israelis had to confront the fact that the rise of the Radical Right--and the religious fundamentalism, extreme nationalism, and aggressive anti-Arab sentiment associated with it--was becoming a significant part of the nation's public life. The first book to examine the origins, convictions, and political impact of the entire Radical Right, The Ascendance of Israel's Radical Right provides extraordinary insights into a political camp whose influence pervades Israeli politics and culture as well as Arab-Israeli relations. Sprinzak traces the Zionist roots of the Radical Right and its reemergence following the Six-Day War and the Camp David accords. He examines the increasing control of the Radical Right over the settlements in the West Bank, its penetration of more moderate parties such as Likud and the National Religious Party, and its reaction to the Intafada and the Persian Gulf Crisis. With in-depth portraits of the major movements--including the Tehiya, Tzomet, and Moledet parties, Gush Emunim, and the late Meir Kahane and his Kach party, and various underground or terrorist groups--he sheds new light on the people and events which produce such intense fervor and on their political beliefs--for instance, the views that Arabs should be "transferred" from the occupied territories and that Israel was founded to establish a safe home for the Jews, not to protect the human rights of the Palestinians. Sprinzak argues that approximately 20 to 25 percent of Israeli citizens share the convictions of the Radical Right, and that it is especially strong among the young. Indeed, as the message of this camp spreads throughout the country, Sprinzak predicts that the Radical Right's impact on Israeli politics and national security will only increase. As The Ascendance of Israel's Radical Right shows, the Radical Right is not--as is often thought--a small lunatic fringe, but a major school of Israeli Zionism, whose ideas are propagated by sophisticated and thoughtful leaders with large public appeal. Understanding what the Radical Right has already achieved, and how it is currently shaping much of Israel's government agenda is important for every Israeli and Arab, as well as anyone who is concerned with the future of the Middle East.

This book takes a fresh look at the trajectories of Israeli politics since the election of Likud in 1977, examining how right wing parties have adopted populist policies in order to carve out an identity and win support at the polls. As such it demonstrates how populism has become a hugely significant factor in shaping Israeli politics and society. The original perspective taken by the author allows for an understanding of the central phenomena of the contemporary political system in Israel, such as the Likud's party centrality in Israeli politics, the political force of the religious Shas party and the growing influence of certain political leaders. Through this innovative analysis of the concept of populism, the book contributes to a better understanding of the Israeli political system. With Israel playing such a central role in the Middle East conflict, this analysis of the ways in which populism contributes to the consolidation of governing political forces in Israel will allow for a better understanding of this conflict. Combining the theoretical elaboration of the concept of populism with its application in the analysis of a specific test-case, this novel approach contributes to the ongoing research on populist politics, and as such will be a useful tool for understanding many issues in the study of populism, comparative politics and the Middle East.

`When certain Jews say to Arabs: "Look what we`ve done for you, we found a desert here and transformed it into a garden," the Arab replies, with good reason: "This may be true, but it was my desert and now it has become your garden."....That is why I say the Arabs must leave Israel....I want to make life difficult for them. I want them to say to themselves: it doesn`t make any sense to go on living here.` --Rabbi Meir Kahane The far right is now a force to be reckoned with in Israel. A plethora of groups -Kach, Tehiya, Morasha, Gush Emunim- advocate the gaol of a Greater Israel and the brutal repression of the Palestinians. These groups represent a growing threat not only to Middle East peace, but to the established political order in Israel itself. Raphael Mergui and Philippe Simonnot talk to the leaders of the far right about their aims and methods, their attitudes towards religion and the state. In an extended interview, Meir Kahane-former FBI agent, co-founder of the Jewish Defence League and founder of the extreme -right Kach movement in Israel- argues that the Jewish state cannot be democratic, secular and multi-racial, and that the Arabs should be expelled from Israel and the Occupied Territories. Such men are no longer part of a lunatic fringe. They are gaining increasing respectability and a mass following. They are Israel`s ayatollahs.

The cold war may be over, but there is no shortage of enemies in a world beset by resurgent nationalism, ethnic conflict, and economic rivalry. Right-wing extremists from David Duke to Jean-Marie Le Pen know how to exploit the pressure points of race, religion, and culture in a bid to keep the national and international conflict industry cooking. Encounters with the Contemporary Radical Right introduces us to the personalities as well as the systems of rightist repression. It shows, in clearly written and carefully documented essays, how radical right groups have made electoral headway in France, Germany, and Israel while increasingly making headlines in the United States, Great Britain, and other points East and West. The phenomenon is by no means limited to ail skinheads and jackboots; many official governments shelter radical rightism or even sponsor it outright. Reflecting a broad geographical distribution that includes Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, the essays in this book lend themselves to comparative analysis on three important dimensions: the historical and intellectual backgrounds of various rightist groups, the way each group fits within the context of social movements theory, and the assessment of relative electoral participation and success. The book goes on to outline both the patterns and peculiarities of radical right action in the settings represented and concludes that it is no accident that the radical right is on the rise internationally, admonishing us of the movement's power without overstating its potential.

A dramatic shift is taking place in Israel and America. In Israel, the deepening occupation of the West Bank is putting Israeli democracy at risk. In the United States, the refusal of major Jewish organisations to defend democracy in the Jewish state is alienating many young liberal Jews from Zionism itself. In the next generation, the liberal Zionist dream, the dream of a state that safeguards the Jewish people and cherishes democratic ideals, may die. In The Crisis of Zionism, Peter Beinart lays out in chilling detail the looming danger to Israeli democracy and the American Jewish establishment's refusal to confront it. And he offers a fascinating, groundbreaking portrait of the two leaders at the centre of the crisis: Barack Obama, America's first 'Jewish president', a man steeped in the liberalism he learned from his many Jewish friends and mentors in Chicago; and Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister who considers liberalism the Jewish people's special curse. These two men embody fundamentally different visions, not just of American and Israeli national interests, but of the mission of the Jewish people itself. Beinart concludes with provocative proposals for how the relationship between American Jews and Israel must change, and with an eloquent and moving appeal for American Jews to defend the dream of a democratic Jewish state before it is too late.

In this groundbreaking and controversial study of the rising tide of militancy in Israel, Ehud Sprinzak lays bare the historical roots of violence in Israeli domestic politics, examining the effects such militancy has had on the nation's civic culture. He traces the origins of the extremist thread to the era of the founding of the Jewish state, and shows how it has grown increasingly malignant in the past decade, culminating in the 1995 assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER takes the reader through the critical turning points in Israeli political history and introduces us to the leaders whose careers were baptized by blood. Through his exploration of the disputes between David Ben-Gurion's Labour Movement and Menachem Begin's Irgun movement, Sprinzak argues that their legacy of conflict provided the inspiration for such agitators as Meir Kahane and the Orthodox radicals behind the Hebron massacre of 1994 and Rabin's assassination. Despite Sprinzak's disturbing accounts of violence, he remains optimistic that when peace between Israeli's and Arabs is reached and the great debate about borders of the nation is finally laid to rest, Israeli political violence will decline dramatically. BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER provides an incisive and extensively researched historical perspective on Israeli politics and opens a new chapter in our understanding of one of the world's most fascinating nations.
