The Intersection of Judaism and Israeli Politics

This chapter explores the profound impact of classical Judaism on the policies and public discourse of the Israeli state. It emphasizes the often-overlooked religious ideological considerations that shape governance, contrasting them with historical contexts of Western imperialism. The discussion further critiques the complexities of Jewish attitudes towards non-Jews, particularly in relation to advocacy and civil rights, while calling for introspection within the Jewish community regarding their history and political alignments.
