1.Who were the Canaanites and what kind
of Israeli culture did they advocate?
They were considered radicals,
who rejected their connections to Judaism and their Jewish history and longed
for Hebrew-speaking nation. Essentially, the Canaanites desired for the return
to the Middle East and prayed for a Hebrew renaissance to finally free the Jews
from Judaism and the Arabs from Islam. They believed that both religions were
entrusted to their members of the medieval fallacy, “keeping at bay the
advances of secular modernity.”
Originally, only two
dozen people were registered members however membership grew quickly. The
Canaanite activists included poets, authors, journalists, sculptors and even
educators. Additionally the Canaanites fostered the differences between the native-born
Israelis, or Sabra, and the diaspora Jew. This ideology of the “negotiation of
the diaspora” contributed to the construction of modern Israeli culture.
