Jewish political parties[edit]

We probably should have something here about contemporary Jewish political parties in Europe. I don't have anything like a list, but in Romania there is a Federaţia Comunitatilor Evreiesti din România, which is basically a (tiny) political party. See List_of_political_parties_in_Romania#Present-day_Ethnic_Minority_parties. -- Jmabel | Talk July 9, 2005 06:32 (UTC)

In Belgium there are 'intra-ethnic' Jewish parties, they only compete for the elections to the Belgian branch of the World Zionist Organization. Among the organizations inside the "Comité de Coordination des Organisations juives de Belgique" (in 2002) are mentioned among several other associations: Likud of Belgium, Mapam of Belgium, Socialist Zionist Avoda Movement of Belgium and Union of General Zionists of Belgium. I remember having seen the last president of the Bund at the 1997 commemoration of its (and her) birthday, I fear there is no longer any living Bundist here by now. The Romanian electoral provisions for ethnic minorities are very exceptional in Europe, elsewhere either Jews are not considered (and neither do they, or not all of them, consider themselves as) an ethnic group but a religious community or they are so few that it would not reasonably be possible to give them a seat without provoking extreme electoral distortions (remember also that not all countries enjoy a proportional representation system). Nota bene, apart from Romania the only Jewish 'reserved seat' in a Parliament seems to be in... Iran ! Present-day Jewish Iranian MP is Maurice Motamed (since 2000, reelected in 2004), before him it was Manouchehr Elyasi (1996-2000). There were also specific seats for Jews in the Ottoman Parliament. --Pylambert 21:01, 22 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"Jewish nationalism"[edit]

I'm not sure whether Jewish nationalism deserves its own article or not, or even to what extent it can be profitably discussed as a discrete topic, but I think the previous redirect to Zionism was inappropriate, as Jewish nationalism is a broader topic than that—and so I've moved the redirect to point here. See Talk:Zionism#Jewish nationalism for a discussion on this.--Pharos 04:35, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Am happier with that. BobFromBrockley 12:14, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, but now there were two attempts to add a category "Ethnic nationalism" to this article about "Jewish political movements". I cancelled it twice already, not realizing there was a redirect. Anyway, were this category accepted, other ones like Socialism, Liberalism and Anarchism should also be added, this would be a nonsense. Realizing this, I also suppress the Zionism category in this article. --Pylambert (talk) 08:29, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

POV[edit]

Most of this article makes statements without any references. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.80.169.28 (talk) 06:56, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The broader Jewish political tradition[edit]

This article deals with Jewish political movements. There appears to be no wider page on the subject of the Jewish political tradition, which includes Jewish political thought and political life that is not connected with particular movements. There's a lot that has been written about Jewish political theory and Jewish political life that doesn't connect with any of the subjects on this page. Perhaps we could set up a page on Judaism and politics as well? Lkjowa (talk) 17:59, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
