In praise of rightist Israel
Op-ed: Israelis becoming more Jewish and hawkish, thus boosting our
negotiating positions
Udi Lebel
A poll showing the strengthening of the “rightist-haredim” bloc was
published here last weekend. According to the poll, under any
circumstances we shall see the Likud leader elected for prime
minister, and he would be able to choose a centrist or rightist
coalition without having to contend with a hostile Leftist parliament.
These figures are not unique or incidental.
Several processes are slowly making Israel’s Jewish society more
conservative. This is not just a result of demography, which is
working in favor of the haredim and traditionalist Jews and against
the seculars. We are dealing with a plethora of cultural tendencies
that have nothing to do with births.
The Jewish bookshelf is sweeping many groups and is turning into an
element that holds ideological, not only cultural, influence on those
joining the trend. The “Jewish new age era,” a sort of counter-
reaction to the “candle era” of the peace children, is lifting
geographical boundaries.
Samaria is suddenly turning into a site that belongs to “every Jew.”
Workshops and trips there constitute the settlers’ “quiet revolution.”
Even celebrities who “discovered” the synagogue at the heart of Tel
Aviv are starting to arrive.
Meanwhile, the Russian and Ethiopian communities, as well as residents
of the periphery, are mostly holding clear hawking views, despairing
over the chance to see peace from the Palestinians, and are eager to
see us using our power and producing deterrence. Territorial
concessions are not perceived as a move that would affect the end of
the conflict.
Message to Palestinians
Similar phenomena are taking place among some groups within Israel’s
leftist camp; the moderate Left, known as “activist” in the past,
which lives in “border areas.” The Gaza-region kibbutzim, which in the
past granted the leftist Meretz party many Knesset seats, are showing
ongoing support for Lieberman’s positions ever since the current
government’s establishment. No less surprising: Even among these
leftists, a majority characterizes the settlement enterprise as
Zionism in every way.
Meanwhile, Meretz and Labor, which produced “Oslo,” are turning into
niche parties. Kadima, which is led by people formerly associated with
the Right, is the only dovish element with aspirations to take power.
Jewish perception and heritage are penetrating civics studies and the
military and national service. The education minister is bringing
awareness of Hebron to Tel Aviv. Moreover, members of the religious
Zionist community are increasingly active in academia and in the film
industry; they produce culture and convey their messages.
Israelis are becoming more spiritual. And no, this is not the
spirituality associated with the flower children. It is the kind of
spiritually associated with Rabbi Kook. It comes with love for the
land and great belief in the ban on renouncing it.
These socio-political developments do not only bear domestic effects
on Israel’s society. This process has strategic implications vis-à-vis
the Palestinians. Until now, such trends in the Palestinian theater
became a diplomatic consideration for Israelis: If you don’t sign a
peace deal with the PLO, you’ll get Hamas. If you don’t secure an
agreement with the Fayyad government, you’ll have to contend with
Islamist radicals.
 Well, we now have a parallel message we can start to convey to the
Palestinian leadership: Israeli society is undergoing a process of
“reinforcement.” – it has become more Jewish, more hawkish and more
rightist. If you don’t sign an agreement with Israel today ,while
recognizing it as the Jewish People’s state, you will have to deal
with the future Israel: One that will only sign a deal with you if you
recognize the gravesite of Rachel the Matriarch and mark the death of
our holy mother every year.
