Gewalt un Recth. Il sionismo revisionista e lo spirito del mandato

The de-construction of British policy over Palestine mandate is a key issue to understand the ways in which a one-hundred-years conflict has not yet been solved. Divide at impera policy cannot explain by itself the different views between Zionism and Arab nationalism on the purposes of British mandate. While Arab representatives denied any locus standi to Balfour declaration and the charter of the mandate, Zionism tried to utilise the patronage of British imperialism to build up a Jewish state in Palestine. Inside Jewish nationalism there were different points of view on how the final purpose should be achieved. Revisionist Zionism, the right-wing party, criticized both official gradualist policy and the Jewish representative in front of the public opinion (Öffentlichkeit), the British mandatory and the League of Nations. That policy expressed, on the one hand, a special view of the mandate (an orientalistic one) and, on the other hand, a state doctrine which can be linked with Jellinek’s view of politics and Schmitt’s criticism towards the League of Nations’ system.;
