The author describes a number of specifically ideological considerations central to Israel's perceptions about its foreign policy. Three aspects are discussed: (a) the ideological component in the public debate about Israel's borders; (b) the differing attitudes to questions of power and morality; and (c) the relationship between Israel and Jewish communities in the Diaspora as a factor in crystallizing some of Israel's foreign-policy decisions.

Die israelischen Vorstellungen hinsichtlich der Zukunft der besetzten Gebiete sowie des Palästinaproblems werden (idealtypisch) zwei "Schulen" zugeordnet: der "territorialen" Schule , die einen möglichst großen Anteil des historischen Landes Israel zu kontrollieren bestrebt ist, und die "soziologische" oder "sozietale" Schule, für die die innere Struktur der israelischen Gesellschaft Vorrang vor der Frage der territorialen Ausdehnung hat.

Theodor Herzl had been a successful Viennese journalist and a less successful playwright with no political ambitions. That changed in 1896, when he published The Jewish State.

Moses Hess is a major figure in the development of both early communist and Zionist thought.

Moses Hess is a major figure in the development of both early communist and Zionist thought. The Holy History of Mankind appeared in 1837, and was the first book-length socialist tract to appear in Germany, representing an unusual synthesis of Judaism and Christianity that showed the considerable influence upon Hess of Spinoza, Herder and Hegel. In due course many of Hess's ideas would find their way into the work of Karl Marx, and into subsequent socialist thought. The distinguished political scientist Shlomo Avineri provides the first full English translation of this text, along with new renditions of Socialism and Communism, A Communist Credo; and The Consequences of a Future Revolution of the Proletariat. All of the usual reader-friendly series features are provided, including a chronology, concise introduction and notes for further reading, in a work of special relevance to students of politics, modern European history, and the history of Zionism
