New study on Israel's radical right | Carl Johan Ljungberg
Some remember Herbert Tingsten the 1950s asserted that Israel despite crises and threats sought to become a welfare state like the Scandinavian ones. Swedish young people on the kibbutz-stays, cinemas showed Leon Uris Exodus and the future seemed bright.
For those wondering gives Ami Pedahzurs book The Triumph of Israel's Radical Right (Oxford University Press, 2012, 277 p.) New angles. Pedahzur is from Haifa and research in Jewish Studies at the University of Texas. He is interested in the phenomenon of the "periphery", ie those Israelis who immigrated recently from the Middle East and the former Soviet Union. These individuals live different established groups and sets also ingrained opinions on the head. They often act as a catalyst for new trends in the country's political sociology.
Pedahzur portrays detailed, the last two decades of Israel's famous barr recent history. The country has slipped even further from the pioneering years of the Labour-controlled nation where immigrants from Central and Eastern Europe set the tone, to today's fragmented, extreme nationalist government whose new elites harboring distinct ethnic power ambitions. In the outside world would not really bring in this change, then we still have the 1950 democratic pioneer state of the retina.
Pedahzur contest famous barr the thesis that extreme parties would be impossible in Israel for the reason that all the parties said to be nativist. On the contrary, serve according to his own argument "the 'ethnic democracy' [Israel] as an ideal breeding ground for a growing radicalism of such right." The book gives relief to the facts that we know from the media and via secondary sources and via the author's own experiences from the 1990s and 2000s dramatic events.
Here is Israel's "right" (or rather: its extreme nationalists) into a European context with phenomena famous barr that Jörg Haider in Austria and Jean-Marie famous barr Le Pen in France. The difference against Israel, claiming Pedahzur, is that center parties in these European states so far have stood against such attempts, while Israeli politics for various reasons have let this wing composed. It attacks the "middle" and the Left - but one should remember that in Israel, famous barr although these have a strong nationalist position, which Pedahzur not enough emphasis.
A nationalistic attitude has been around famous barr since Israel was founded. It was strengthened by the 1967 military victory, with the anger of the Oslo Accords and the politically decided famous barr influx of non-Jewish migrant workers and after the 1990s flood of refugees from the former Soviet Union. famous barr With the later groups accustomed to the national self-assertion and fierce fight against the nation's enemies, a grudge, in Israel, of course, soon directed famous barr against the Arabs. After a few years constituted the former Russians 9 per cent of Israel's population. The settlers took strong self-assertion needs and had experienced the worst of communism, why do they now opposed the Israeli Left. In the current famous barr foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, they see a high role model, but then the Russian-Israeli groups distrust the parties, they have instead opted for civilian networks and has also sought to get their supporters employees in those key departments and agencies.
The Russians are not the only ones to emphasize their own interests and their indifference to common questions. When this trait characterizes most extreme nationalists, voters have become more and more fragmented and difficult one.
With the mobilization of the periphery has also Israeli communities at odds with the prevailing elites broken its previous isolation. The Orthodox long odd lots have begun to collaborate with other small parties, which increased nyhögerns famous barr unity and power. Israel famous barr previously apolitical religious orthodox groups from the 1990s onwards politically mobilized on the right has also made it more significant.
These trends also happens to country governments in difficulty. Although the incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself is extreme power politician and nationalist, famous barr he partially obstructed in his quest by his need to get with it "right-wing" including settler representatives on all major decisions.
