Homeland and Diaspora: An Analytical Perspective on Israeli–Jewish Diaspora Relations

Abstract

The main purpose of this article is to reassess the Israeli–Jewish Diaspora relations from the Israeli perspective and how these are conducted. From this point of view the article focuses on a number of issues, such as the Israeli public's attitudes toward the Diaspora; the current ideologies and agendas in this sphere; the formal positions of Israeli governments; and the debatable issues of interdependence and centrality of the two parts of the Jewish nation. On the basis of these and other connected aspects, the article suggests an analytical framework for the analysis of homeland–diaspora relations from the homeland's perspective. The more general argument is that the Israeli–Jewish case study can serve as an explanatory example according to which other homelands’ relations with their diasporas may be researched and analysed.
