These narratives are the most daring and heretical assaults on Israeli-Jewish identity. The Israelis, according to the Canaanite narrative, are from this place and belong only here; according to the crusader narrative, they are from another place and belong there. The mythological construction of Zionism as a modern crusade describes Israel as a Western colonial enterprise planted in the heart of the East and alien to the area, its logic and its peoples. The nativist construction of Israel as neo-Canaanism demands breaking away from the chain of historical continuity. These are the greatest anxieties that Zionism and Israel needed to encounter and answer forcefully. The Origins of Israeli Mythology seeks to examine the intellectual archaeology of Israeli mythology, as it reveals itself through the Canaanite and crusader narratives. 606 $aNational characteristics, Israeli 606 $aJews$zIsrael$xIdentity 607 $aIsrael$xSocial life and customs 615 0$aNational characteristics, Israeli. 615 0$aJews$xIdentity. 676 $a956.94 700 $aOhana$b David$0850923 702 $aMaisel$b David 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461517803321 996 $aThe origins of Israeli mythology$91899913 997 $aUNINA
