Palestine at that time. However, such an argument would reduce the Brit Shalom rather
uninterestingly to a sum of its influences. Alternatively, then, we could regard Brit Shalom’s
ideological forays and their attempt to develop a new political theory as a bold and
imaginative attempt to deal with the fact that Palestine wasn’t “a land without people for a
people without a land,” as the slogan had it. In their political experience, Kantian moral
philosophy met Middle Eastern politics. Kantian philosophy was overshadowed in the short
run, but, in the long run, the categories through which Scholem and later Arendt viewed
Jewish politics infused Israeli political discourse and self-understanding with a normative
dimension that remains as fundamental and controversial today as it was in the pre-State
decades. This remains, I believe, the enduring legacy of Brit Shalom, Arendt and the idea of
a “non-nationalist” nationalism.
