    This document discusses Hannah Arendt's views on Jewish history and the foundation of Israel. It describes four phases of the Jewish experience: 1) Jews as a people; 2) the difference between people and nation; 3) Jews should revolt against Nazis and start anew; 4) founding Israel and generating power from the bottom up through local councils. Arendt believed Jews had a right to found their own state after their suffering, but it should be based on political cooperation between Jews and Arabs. She promoted Judah Magnes's plan for a federated Palestinian state but was silenced when she addressed American Jews about it. This showed her becoming a pariah in the Jewish community for her political views.

    Fases da experincia judaica

    Primeira Fase

    Segunda Fase

    Terceira fase judeus como povo

    Quarta fase diferena entre povo e nao. Judeus deveriam se revoltar contra os nazistas,
    comear nova histria. Similaridades com revoluo.

    A "right to have rights" is not a civil but a political right, and politics is always for Arendt what
    goes on between a plurality of individuals speaking together about what concerns them in common,
    generating the power to do what they determine can be done by acting together. Founding a new
    state is a risky business, as we know from both ancient and modern history-hence Arendt's
    considerable interest in foundation myths-but because of what they suffered and endured, Arendt
    thought that Jews, her own people, had an opportunity to found a state whose power potential
    might be very great. The Jewish people, exercising their "right to have rights" and mindful of the
    role of justice in their past, could found a state that would require nothing beneath them to sustain
    its existence: they themselves would be their own foundation.
    "Local self-governing and mixed Jewish-Arab municipal and rural councils, on a small scale and as
    numerous as possible, are the only realistic political measures that can eventually lead to the
    political emancipation of Palestine," as Arendt puts it. In this structure power would be generated
    by agreements handed up, not down, from level to level of councils, arising from the levels in
    which ordinary Jews and Arabs come together to deal with the common problems that lie between
    them and relate them. Politically speaking, there is no "other" to be excluded in the council system,
    and its power potential is immense: it could become, as Arendt suggests, a federation of
    Mediterranean peoples, which would not be a sovereign state but rather a new autonomous polity
    with its own large place in the world. The condition of the council system of governing does not
    entail loving one's neighbor but rather entering into political friendship with him.

    Quinta Fase - Eichmann

    With the foundation


    of the state ofIsrael in 1948, Arendt joined Judah Magnes's campaign for
    the establishment in Palestine of a federated state based on a common government
    but grounded in Jewish-Arab community councils. After the death
    of Judah Magnes that year, Arendt addressed a Jewish public in Massachusetts
    concerning his efforts. 16 She was booed and brought to silence.
    This event deeply discouraged her. Almost 15 years before the controversy
    over the Eichmann book, this event showed that there was no room in the
    Jewish politics of the times for Hannah Arendt's political views. She
    would become a self-conscious pariah in the Jewish community.
