3. A Comment on "The Emergence of Militaristic Nationalism in Israel".

Author

Ben-Eliezer, Uri and Shamir, Ronen

Subjects
*NATIONALISM, *INTERNATIONAL relations, *PATRIOTISM, *POLITICAL doctrines, *SOCIAL history
Abstract

In the last issue of the International Journal of Politics, Culture, and Society, two Israeli scholars outlined some new ideas concerning the ascendancy of militaristic nationalism in Israel. Their thesis suggests that Israel's national policies are shaped by strong militaristic tendencies, which are reinforced by a series of military victories and an ongoing flow of arms supply and advanced military technology from the U.S. Professors Shulamit Carmi and Henry Rosenfeld's work is concerned with tracing the roots and origins of these militaristic nationalist tendencies. Their research question, however, is untypical; they do not directly look for the historical, economic and political circumstances, which facilitated the emergence of militaristic nationalism. Rather, they base their study on a counterfactual hypothesis. They argue that militarism and nationalism gained ascendancy over the potential socialist society that could have emerged in Israel. Another premise of Carmi and Rosenfeld is that pre-state Israel should be analyzed in class-conflict terms if one is to understand the issue related to nationalism.

4. The Future of Palestine.

Author

Shikaki, Khalil

Subjects
*ARAB-Israeli peace process, *MILITARY policy, *ELECTIONS, *VOTING, *WAR, *PALESTINIANS, *POLITICAL participation, *NATIONALISM, *INTERNATIONAL relations, ISRAELI politics & government, 1993-, POLITICS & government of Palestine
Abstract

The article discusses why the Palestinian Authority (PA) is facing its most serious internal challenge since it was established in 1994. A violent showdown in the Gaza Strip between competing nationalist factions has threatened to destroy the PA and domestic security after four years of uprising against Israel. The turmoil represents a critical danger, not just for Palestinian society and its dreams of a unified state, but also for Israel's plan to disengage unilaterally from Gaza. If Israel implements Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's plan to withdraw from the Gaza Strip in 2005, Palestinian society will fragment even more, lose the benefit of unified representation, and possibly lapse into bloody infighting. But it is not too late to change course: holding Palestinian national elections before Israel's withdrawal could prevent chaos and help establish the foundations for a democratic Palestinian state committed to peaceful relations with Israel. For all the hope that elections offer, conditions in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip are not now conducive to holding them: the ongoing violence would make it difficult for voters to reach the ballot box. Palestinian factions must reach an understanding on a complete cease-fire during the election period. The U.S. and other international actors must ensure that the Palestinians and Israel implement their election-related commitments.
