Franz Oppenheimer (1864-1943) was a prominent German sociologist, economist and Zionist activist. As a co-founder of academic sociology in Germany, Oppenheimer vehemently opposed the influence of antisemitism on the nascent field. As an expert on communal agricultural settlement, Oppenheimer co-edited the scientific Zionist journal Altneuland (1904-1906), which became a platform for a distinct Jewish participation within the racial and colonial discourses of Imperial Germany. By positioning Zionist aspirations within a German colonial narrative, Altneuland presented Zionism as an extension, instead of a rejection, of German patriotism. By doing so, the journal's contributors hoped to recruit new supporters and model Zionism as a source of secular Jewish identity for German Jewry. While imagining future relationships between Jews, Arabs, and German settlers in Palestine, Oppenheimer and his contemporaries also reimagined the place of Jews among European nations.

Wie sich die internationalen Koordinaten auch verschieben mögen - der Nahe Osten scheint stets dazu verurteilt, einer der Brennpunkte der globalen Politik zu sein. Die vorliegende Studie analysiert eine der komplexesten und folgenreichsten Konfigurationen der hier angesiedelten Konfliktgeschichte: das Beziehungsdreieck zwischen der Sowjetunion und der zionistischen Bewegung bzw. zum Staat Israel und zu der einem zunehmend sozialistisch getönten Antikolonialismus der Republik Ägypten. Das bedeutsame erste Nachkriegsjahrzehnt mit der mehrfachen Zäsur von 1956 wird dabei in die weitere historische Perspektive der Vorkriegs- und Kriegsepoche gestellt. Auf einer breiten Quellengrundlage entschlüsselt Wiebke Bachmann eine höchst widerspruchsvolle Entwicklung. Der innerstaatliche Antisemitismus in Stalins Sowjetunion stand neben der außenpolitischen Unterstützung für die Staatsgründung Israels, und die spätere Wende zur "antiimperialistischen" sowjetisch-ägyptischen Interessenkohärenz wurde durch Nassers Verbot der ägyptischen kommunistischen Partei nicht beeinträchtigt.

In Walking on the Pages of the Word of God Aron Engberg explores the religious language and identities of evangelical volunteer workers in contemporary Jerusalem. The volunteers are connected to Christian organizations which consider their work a natural consequence of the biblical promises to Israel and their responsibility to “bless the Jewish people”. Relying on ethnographic data of the discursive practices of the volunteers, the book explores a central puzzle of Zionist Christianity: the narrative production of Israel’s religious significance and its relationship to broader Christian language traditions. By focusing on the volunteers’ stories about themselves, the land and the Bible, Aron Engberg offers a convincing account about how the State of Israel is finding its way into evangelical identities.

At its broadest level, politics is the practice of making a community a better, safer, and more tolerant place to live. So it should be of no surprise that America's Jews have devoted themselves to civic engagement and the democratic process. From before the Revolutionary War to the early twenty-first century, when America saw the first Jewish vice presidential nominee of a major party and the first Jewish Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Jewish community has always devoted itself to public service, issue advocacy, and involvement in politics and government at every level. While strong support for the safety and security of the state of Israel has been a hallmark of US foreign policy since Israel's founding, it is by no means the only policy area in which American Jews are involved. Nor are American Jews monolithic in their politics. Although the Jewish community has become a reliable part of the Democratic Party's base in most partisan elections, American Jews represent a wide range of ideologies on most economic and foreign policy matters. In addition to becoming leaders in business and labor, in academia and in philanthropy, Jewish Americans have always helped shape the discussion over the issues that form the country's future. In this volume, a mix of professors, graduate students, and lay people in the field of politics with a breadth of experience debate some central questions: Is Israel still the most important policy concern for American Jews? Why does the Jewish community vote Democratic in such overwhelming numbers? Can American Jews balance economic, security and human rights concerns in a rapidly changing international community? And how will such profound transformations affect the role of America's Jewish community as the United States seeks out its own role in domestic and global politics?
