Powerline notes an article at NRO about the left's second disastrous Israeli election in a row. There has always been an element within Jewish society, including within Israel itself, that opposes the notion of a Jewish state, and fetishizes Jewish powerlessness. Yoram Hazony's The Jewish State and Efraim Karsh's Fabricating Israeli History deal with the history of this movement, and its intellectual dishonesty, respectively. I've mentioned them before, but they're both fine books, although Karsh's is a little polemical at moments.
