“…I would like to thank Prof Ofer Shiff and Prof Avi Bareli who encouraged me to approach this project, and Prof Nir Kedar, Dr Natan Aridan, and Dr David Barak-Gorodetsky, who assist along the way. For many years, researchers have struggled to understand this concept’s ever-changing meanings and the connection between its different appearances. In the past decade, however, Bareli and Kedar reexamined it and offered a new understanding of the concept based on a profound reading of David Ben-Gurion’s writings and the connection between Mamlakhtiyut and Republicanism (Bareli, 2007; Bareli & Kedar, 2011; Kedar, 2009).…”

The concept of Mamlakhtiyut, defined by Bareli and Kedar as the Israeli version of republicanism, has shaped Israeli political system and civil culture from the 1950s onward. This article examines how this inter-Israeli concept affected David Ben-Gurion’s inter-Jewish policy toward the Jews of the Diaspora during the constructive era of the first year of statehood. The discussion focuses on the journey of Ben-Gurion to the USA during the spring of 1951 and the launching of the Bonds campaign as an alternative Israeli fundraising tool. The study of the journey’s context and a deep analysis of Ben-Gurion’s speeches during the journey demonstrate the importance of the Mamlakhti approach in the setting of Israel–Diaspora relations. I argue that the Mamlakhti-republican discourse was needed by both sides to deepen the relationship during the 1950s, point its deep influence on both policy and discourse, and suggest that today too it may foster the discourse and reframe some of the fundamental subjects that divide Israel from the Diaspora.
