| Summary | Annotation "Nissim Rejwan examines conflict that has plagued Israel - both with its neighbors and within its own borders - since its inception, placing the current situation in historical perspective and tracing the roots of the conflict to the way in which the founding fathers of the Jewish state conceived of the world and of their situation." "Israel's founders, hailing overwhelmingly from Russia and Russian Poland, subscribed to ethnic-nationalist doctrines current in nineteenth-century Eastern and Central Europe in their day - doctrines which Rejwan shows are alien not only to Judaism as a faith but also to the religious cultures of the Middle East as a whole. Rejwan analyzes the ways in which modern concepts of ethnic nationality - Arab as well as Jewish - have affected both Zionist Jew and Pan-Arab nationalist, and how Israeli statehood is changing the basic concept of Jewish identity in Israel and in the Diaspora."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
