Concept
Liberalism in Israel
Résumé
Liberalism in Israel has played a role since the country's founding.
Several liberal political parties have claimed substantial popular support, mainly proved by having representation in the Knesset. While liberalism is usually suspicious of nationalism, Jewish liberals in Israel generally support some form of Zionism.
Conservative liberals (see General Zionists, Liberal Party) were founding members of the Likud, the country's main conservative party, while social liberals (see Progressive Party, Independent Liberals) were integrated in the social-democratic Labor Party. Later on, a long-time liberal, anti-clerical and pro-free market party was Shinui, a member of the Liberal International. More recently, Kadima was a broad liberal and centrist party, integrating politicians from the left and the right. Current liberal (and liberal Zionist) parties are Yesh Atid and the Resilience Party (Blue and White). New Hope is a national-liberal party. By contrast, Balad draws upon liberal values in its aim to eliminate discrimination against Arab citizens and redefine Israel as a state for all its citizens rather than a "Jewish and democratic state", but it is a secular party rather than a liberal one.
1922: Centrists in the World Zionist Organization form the General Zionists.
1931: The General Zionists split in "Faction A" and "Faction B".
1945: Factions A and B of the General Zionists merge.
1951: The party wins 16.2% of the vote and 20 seats in the general election.
1961: The party merges with the Progressive Party (PP) to become the Israeli Liberal Party (LP), which wins 13.6% of the vote and 17 seats in the general election.
1965: The LP splits with the conservative majority joining Herut to form Gahal, eventually becoming Likud, and the leftist faction forming the Independent Liberals.
1988: The LP and Herut formally merge transforming Likud from an electoral coalition to a unitary political party.
1948: The Progressive Party (PP) is formed.
1961: The PP merges with the General Zionists to become the Liberal Party (LP).
