Abstract

Most of the Hebrew literary works that emerged from the 1948 War of Independence were infused with a natural sense of the justice and inevitability of the war, and marked by profound identification with the historical, political, and military developments that had brought about the establishment of the State of Israel. This literature does not bear political features, being deeply rooted in the Zionist consensus and not challenging it in any profound sense. Political voices, i.e., substantive criticism of every aspect of the war, can nonetheless be found at the extreme margins of this consensus, emerging from the cultural environments of the right-wing Revisionists and their symmetrical opponents, the communists.
