A major new history of the century-long debate over what a Jewish state should be

Many Zionists who advocated for the creation of a Jewish state envisioned a nation like any other. Yet for Israel's founders, the nation that emerged against all odds in 1948 was anything but ordinary. Born from the ashes of genocide and a long history of suffering, Israel was conceived to be unique, a model society and the heart of a prosperous new Middle East. It is this paradox, says historian Michael Brenner―the Jewish people's wish for a homeland both normal and exceptional―that shapes Israel's ongoing struggle

In Search of Israel: The History of an Idea by Michael Brenner Book Review

Name: Yehezkel Dror
Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars
Title: GOOD DISCOURSE ON FASCINATING DYNAMICS OF IDEAS
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 28, 2018
Review:

This book interestingly surveys the evolution of contradictory ideas on the desired and the foreseeable nature of the State of Israel: Saving Jews or Judaism; being a Western type liberal democracy or a Halachic state; encompassing pre-1967 territories vs. all of the Promised Land; ingathering most of the Jewish people or being but a part of global Judaism; integrating in an Arab Middle-East or constitution a fortress of enlightenment in a unstable region; and more.
I found chapter six especially noteworthy. In contrast to most comparable books, it discusses the growing Israeli Diaspora in the USA and Germany, opinions regarding Jewish dispersal as normatively superior to having a Jewish state, and various alternative utopias on Jewish communities outside Israel. But I was surprised that the book by Yuri Slezkine The Jewish Century (2004) wase not mentioned, though I think it is quite relevant.
With all its many merits, the book has a number of weaknesses. Thus, the author states “there is still widespread resistance to the recognition of a Jewish state, and calls for its destruction come from as nearby as Gaza and as far away as Iran” (page 284). This is correct but unbalanced. In addition to the peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan, which are mentioned in passing, the important Saudi Peace Initiative and increasing cooperation with a number of Arab states must be added to the assessment, but are ignored.
Even more misleading is the statement “the projected number of people living in Israel in four or five decades will be about fifteen million…This would undoubtedly result in a serious deterioration in the quality of life and in an ecological disaster” (page 286). Citing one book, as the author does, is definitely not enough for supporting such a postulate. The author is no expert on modern technologies which reduce the significance of space as limiting population. Probably is he not familiar with Singapore. If he had limited himself to pointing at a possible problem of population pressure this would have been more than enough, instead of “undoubtedly” presuming to foresee the future of the population-carrying capacities of Israel as a high-tech country.
To add a minor problem, I was quite irritated by the multiple inclusions in the bibliography of a book which has apparently not yet been published and is not even mentioned by AMAZON as forthcoming. I am referring to Michael Brenner and Pamela S. Nadell, eds. Reinventing Israel in the Twenty-First Century, Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 2018 – which I am eager to read but could not locate.
Moving to what is really important: This book provides some explanations for the changes of ideas and their significance, such as diverse waves of immigration and differential birth rates. It is legitimate not to go deeper into theory design. But I think the author missed a chance to develop at least a conjectural theory based on his findings.
Thus, I think the text justifies the overall empiric conclusion that all pre-Six Day War hopes and anticipations have been falsified by post-Six Day War developments (as well as by techno-economic innovations -- as also demonstrated by Kibbutz transformations –- which are quite ignored in the book). From this solid finding of the book I jump to a broad theoretic generalization: The vast majority of ideas on the future fail the test of time, because of unforeseen and often unforeseeable events and processes.
Pushing ahead, because of highly likely radical socio-economic and geo-political transformations (related in literature to the “Singularity” hypothesis), nearly all contemporary ideas on the future of Israel, even if based on seemingly solid demographic predictions, are at best guesstimated conjectures quite likely to prove wrong.
But I go beyond what can reasonably be expected from the book. As it is, I highly recommend it as a good depiction with some analysis of changing ideas on what Israel should and (to move to another, though partly overlapping, level) will become.

Title: This is not a balanced history, and whitewashes many dark episodes and personalities
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 12, 2021
Review: To balance this book, works such as "The Gun And The Olive Branch" (David Hirst) and "The Holocaust History" (Norman G. Finkelstein) would be appropriate. This is a history from the settlers (or colonialists as some would call them) viewpoint, like a history of South Africa written from the Boer point of view. Israel was never conceived as a secular society by its main proponents, that was the PR line that was required, as much of the personal correspondence of those involved shows.

Title: Thoughtful, balanced and informative

Review: Michael Brenner takes the reader on a concise yet highly nuanced and engaging ride through the history of the State of Israel. We learn about the development of Zionist ideals before and around the turn of the 20th century; the realization of the Jewish State in the immediate aftermath of the Holocaust, the singular event to make Zionism a reality; the struggles of the young Jewish and democratic state; the evolving character of Zionism, Israel and the Jewish diaspora; and the future challenges facing the Jewish and Israeli (Jewish, Palestinian and Arab alike). So much history in 80-120 years told in 288 pages! Highly recommended. 5 stars.

Title: the many faces of Zionism in Israel's history.
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 27, 2018
Review: This is a great introduction to the multiple hopes for Israel.Zionism had variant hopes for Israel, from a secular state to a religious one, from a state as any other to a light to the nations. When Israel started it did not solve the contradictory hopes but either papered over them or kept the tensions intact.He gives classic instances of unforeseen consequence of seemingly small acts such as no military for some.
