Zionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia While Zionism is based in part upon religious tradition linking the Jewish people to the Land of Israel, the modern movement was originally secular, beginning largely as a response to rampant antisemitism in Europe during the 19th Century. While Zionism is based heavily upon religious tradition linking the Jewish people to the Land of Israel, the modern movement was originally secular, beginning largely as a response to rampant antisemitism in late 19th century Europe. Zionism was also supported by the political left at various times both before and after Israel's formation, in part due to sympathy for the Jews as an oppressed people and in part due to the strong socialist roots of Labor Zionism. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Zionism   (7671 words)

Anti-Zionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Anti-Zionism is often characterized by opposition to the existence of the State of Israel as a Jewish state, for instance by those who advocate a binational state comprising the territories of the State of Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, in which both Jews and Palestinians would be citizens. In Islam and the Problem of Israel (1980), he argued that Zionism was a "disease" largely influenced by European romanticism far removed from the religion of the Jews, Judaism. These groups falsify anti-Zionism and do not represent the beliefs of true anti-Zionists. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Anti-Zionism   (4797 words)

Orthodox Anti-Zionism In large measure this opposition was less to Zionism itself than to the Zionists, for most of the Zionist activists were secularists who rejected the traditional authority of the Rabbis in favour of "foreign" ideologies such as socialism and nationalism. Zionism constituted a serious threat to the traditional religious power structure. There are in addition to the official Naturei Karta membership (whose origins are to be found primarily in the Lithuanian and German Misnagdic traditions), other Orthodox streams who oppose Zionism on similar religious grounds. www.acs.ucalgary.ca /~elsegal/363_Transp/Orthodoxy/Naturei.html   (371 words)

The Peace Encyclopedia: Anti-Zionism, Anti-Zionists Zionism, even as a code word, is the litmus test with respect to anti-Semitism throughout the world, even in America. The movement calls to distinguish between Judaism and Zionism, but at the same time reinforces its anti-Zionism by reviving the ancient Islamic enmity toward the Jews, revealing that essentially there is no separation between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism. Couched in the language of opposition to Zionism, this anti-Semitism became the preferred vehicle of the Soviet Union and its clients in international forums for political assaults against democratic nations - most obviously Israel, but ultimately all the West, and especially the United States. www.yahoodi.com /peace/antizionism.html   (6850 words)

Middle East Books Zionism, writes Shahak, "can be described as a mirror image of anti-Semitism," since it, like the anti-Semites, holds that Jews are everywhere aliens who would best be isolated from the rest of the world. Moreover, "both anti-Semites and Zionism assume anti-Semitism is ineradicable and inevitable." This attitude among Zionist Jews led to a capitulation to anti-Semitism in Europe, in lieu of a conviction to rally the world's liberal forces against it. Given Zionism's premises, it is unsurprising that Arabs would have been seen as obstacles to be swept away ruthlessly and that the state of Israel would be run ostensibly for the benefit of "the Jewish people," no matter the cost in the fives and liberties of non-Jews. www.middleeastbooks.com /html/books/tekiner.html   (862 words)

International Socialist Review Zionism simply refers to support for the existence of a Jewish state—specifically, the state of Israel.… The harsh but undeniable truth is that what some like to call anti-Zionism is, in reality, anti-Semitism—always, everywhere and for all time. Zionism’s response, on the other hand, was one of resignation to anti-Semitism and at times even collaboration with it. As a result, Zionism was at the very least resigned to anti-Semitism, while some major strands within the movement consciously articulated a common interest, and in fact the benefit of anti-Semitic and even fascistic ideas to Zionism. www.isreview.org /issues/38/zionism_antisemitism.shtml   (4287 words)

Globalisation, anti-Zionism and the New Antisemitism IN THE ARAB WORLD, Zionism is portrayed not as the Jewish response to a history of anti-Semitism in a world that culminated in the Holocaust but as a hyperaggressive variant of colonialism. Zionism, the Jewish claim to a land of their own, was declared racist because the Arabs said it deprived them of their land. In Italy, the Movimento Fascismo e Liberta identifies globalization as an ìinstrument in the hands of international Zionism.î In Russia and Eastern Europe, ìbrownî ultra-nationalists and ìredî communist stalwarts have formed an ideological alliance against foreign investors and multinational corporations, identifying Jews as the capitalist carpetbaggers sacking their national heritage. www.aijac.org.au /updates/Oct-03/311003.html   (8356 words)

Anti-Zionism - Zionism and Israel -Encyclopedia / Dictionary/Lexicon of Zionism/Israel/ In other cases, Zionism is confounded with the anti-Semitic forgery, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and it is claimed that the Protocols were the resolutions of the first Zionist congress. Anti-Zionism often deliberately confounds Zionist extremist ideology with all of Zionism, claiming that "Zionism" aims to dispossess the Arabs of all of Palestine and expand the borders of Israel indefinitely. In other cases, it is clear that anti-Semitic slogans were borrowed and transposed to "Zionism," as for example, "The 'Zionists' control the government," "the 'Zionists' control the media," 'Zionists' have too much power in our country. www.zionism-israel.com /dic/Anti-Zionism.htm   (836 words)

Zionism To condemn Zionism as immoral (racist, vicious and depraved) is not to condemn Judaism. Zionism represents itself as a political movement concerned principally with the establishment of a state in Palestine to be controlled by and for Jews. Criticism of Zionism is criticism of a particularly ugly political movement, not criticism of a religion or of the adherents of a religion. www.serendipity.li /zionism.htm   (4636 words)

Anti-Zionism is not Anti-Semitism: A Confusion Stifling South African Media Freedom (by Firoz Osman) - Media Monitors Network In fact, to be a decent Jew one has to be opposed to the political programme of zionism and be therefore anti-zionist precisely in the sense that in order to be a decent South African Christian one had to be anti-apartheid and that being anti-apartheid did not mean being anti-Christian or pro-devil or anti-White. Zionism was a political movement established by Theodore Herzl in 1897 with the aim to secure for European Jewry an ethnic and racially exclusive state. The racism of political Zionism is a perfectly coherent system which inspires all the laws and all the practices of the State of Israel. www.mediamonitors.net /osman19.html   (979 words)

Guardian Unlimited Guardian daily comment Anti-Zionism is anti-semitism There is of course the open question of whether this applies to anti-Zionism. Zionism entails the difficulty of dealing with sometimes impossible moral dilemmas, which traditional Jewish passivity in the wake of historical persecution had never faced. Zionism comprises a belief that Jews are a nation, and as such are entitled to self-determination as all other nations are. www.guardian.co.uk /comment/story/0,3604,1095694,00.html   (1173 words)

Israpundit: Anti-Zionism IS anti-Semitism pure and simple Anti-zionism IS antisemitism because the zionism is at the roots of the Jewish religion. The term zionism as Lee correctly states was coined by the Jews to describe the belief that the jewish people should have their own country on the traditional biblical land (with no defined borders, no type of government and no addressing of coexisting with arabs are predefined by it). Zionism, although largely regarded as inherent to judaism, is therefore entirely diffent from 'being a semite'. www.israpundit.com /archives/2006/01/antizionism_is.php   (8138 words)

Active Zionism Zionism, on the other hand, sought and gained for the Jewish people the ability to rule themselves, which is a basic right shared by every nation. Thus Zionism is the exact opposite of racism. Zionism is the national liberation movement of the Jewish nation www.geocities.com /activezionism/Index.html   (421 words)

Jewish Criticism of Zionism Montagu based his argument on the fact that both Zionism and anti-Semitism were based on the premise that Jews and non-Jews could not co-exist. They are opposed to Zionism and the very existence of the Zionist state because Zionism seeks to change the essence of Judaism and substitute chauvinism and militarism and loyalty to the Zionist state for the lofty and unchangeable principles of the Jewish faith. Montagu's opposition to Zionism was supported by the leading representative bodies of Anglo-Jewry, the Board of Deputies and the Anglo-Jewish Association, and in particular, by Claude Montefibre, David Alexander and Lucien Wolf. libaware.economads.com /jewcritzion.php   (11201 words)

antizionism ( anti zionism ) - is zionism racism? Anti-Zionism is the conviction that Israel does not have the right to exist. The origin of the word Zionism is the biblical word Zion, often used as a synonym for Jerusalem and the Land of Israel (Eretz Yisrael). A Zionist is a person who believe in Zionism, which is the creed of Jews to live in Zion. www.geocities.com /anti_antizionism   (1651 words)

Jews sans frontieres: Zionism and anti-semitism - are they by any chance related? It's often said that zionism was a response (reaction is probably a better word) to anti-semitism, or gentile repulsion against Jews but zionism soon lost its defensive character and developed a distinctly chauvinistic character. In fact it is their zionism that causes zionists in the media to largely cover for their anti-semitism. I rather feel that anti-semitism in the west has gone out of fashion and zionists like this terrible two (from the ENGAGE site) need to revive it, which I believe is why they promote it. jewssansfrontieres.blogspot.com /2005/10/zionism-and-anti-semitism-are-they-by_30.html   (1575 words)

Zionism and anti-Semitism Theodor Herzl, the founder of Zionism, was living in Paris during the Dreyfus affair in the 1890s, when a wave of anti-Semitism swept across French society. Zionists have always dismissed criticisms of Zionism or of Israel with the claim that such criticisms represent anti-Semitism masquerading as anti-Zionism. Indeed, Zionism has always depended on anti-Semitism, which it sees as inevitable. pubs.socialistreviewindex.org.uk /sr265/sagall.htm   (1766 words)

UN World Conference Against Racism And to equate Zionism with the intolerable sin of racism is to twist history and forget the terrible plight of Jews in World War II and indeed throughout history. When, in 1975, it passed a criminal resolution equating Zionism with racism, the UN delegate from Costa-Rica noted that the resolution "was an invitation to genocide against the Jewish people. This brings me to the lamentable resolution adopted by the General Assembly in 1975, equating Zionism with racism and racial discrimination. www.adl.org /durban/adl_quotes.asp   (602 words)

Anti-zionism as an expression of anti-Semitism in recent years Moreover, it is precisely the equation of Zionism with Nazism which is in my opinion the most characteristic mode of the new anti-Semitic anti-Zionism in the early 1980s, one which inverts all our assumptions and therefore deserves special attention and consideration. Recent works by Lenni Brenner, such Zionism in the Age of  the Dictators, or Tony  Greenstein, Zionism – Antisemitism’s Twin in Jewish Garb – both written by Jewish Leftists (one American, the other British) – are increasingly symptomatic of the times we live in. For example, it was now alleged that Zionism had  always allied itself with reactionary forces and rabid antisemites in order to achieve its “criminal” goals. sicsa.huji.ac.il /Antizionism.htm   (4360 words)

Martin Luther King On Anti-Zionism : SF Indymedia For Einstein, Zionism served as an alternative to Prussian militarism and as an important means of preserving the Jewish values of social justice and... Just type in "Gandhi and Zionism" in any search engine; he explains at length why he is 'strongly opposed to the zionist cause' as well as the 'existence of Zionism in its current manner' because of its imperial and necessarily violent implications. You know that Zionism is nothing less than the dream and ideal of the Jewish people returning to live in their own land. sf.indymedia.org /news/2002/12/1553379.php   (3677 words)

mparent7777: Zionism and anti-Semitism It is one thing to oppose Israel or Zionism on the basis of an anti-semitic fantasy; quite another to do so on the basis of reality. Ottolenghi contends that "Zionism comprises a belief that Jews are a nation, and as such are entitled to self-determination as all other nations are". From the beginning, political Zionism was a controversial movement even among Jews. mparent7777.livejournal.com /3788823.html   (1204 words)

Jews Not Zionists Zionism is wrong from the Torah viewpoint, not because many of its adherents are lax in practice or even anti-religious, but because its fundamental principle conflicts with the Torah. Contrary to common perception, Jewish anti-Zionism is not restricted exclusively to the well know Jewish anti-Zionist movements such as Satmar and There are in fact many Jewish movements, groups and organizations whose ideology regarding Zionism and the so-called "State of Israel" is that of the unadulterated Torah position that any form of Zionism is heresy and that the existence of the so-called "State of Israel" is illegitimate. www.jewsnotzionists.org   (265 words)

Anti-Zionism and Anti-Semitism - Robert Wistrich This is the aim of "progressive" anti- Zionism, which, unlike the classic forms of racist anti-Semitism is not ethnically nationalist or völkisch. Since the 1960s, the PLO has worked hard to totally delegitimize Zionism and the policy has largely succeeded: this anti-Zionism involves a total negation of Jewish nationhood and legitimate Jewish sovereignty in Eretz Israel, a denial of the link between Judaism and the land, or of the existence of the two Jewish temples in Jerusalem. For example, "anti-Zionists" who insist on comparing Zionism and the Jews with Hitler and the Third Reich appear unmistakably to be de facto anti-Semites, even if they vehemently deny the fact! www.jcpa.org /phas/phas-wistrich-f04.htm   (2175 words)

True Torah Jews Against Zionism Although there are those who refuse to accept the teachings of our Rabbis and will continue to support the Zionist state, there are also many who are totally unaware of the history of Zionism and its contradiction to the beliefs of Torah-True Jews.

0,7340,L-3206125,00.html The article includes an unequivocal call to establish a global movement against Zionism and a global movement against the "Israeli apartheid", as well as anti-Israeli, anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic remarks and threats, the likes of which are usually published in marginal magazines in the West or by radical Islamists. The writer claims that Zionism's goal is to wipe out the Palestinian people, that it is one of the worst colonialist and racist movements ever, and that the Zionists of today are pulling the strings and setting the policy of the U.S. government. The article calls on its readers to boycott Israel and compares Zionism to the most radical forms of racism. www.ynetnews.com /articles/0,7340,L-3206125,00.html   (377 words)

Anti-Zionism not Anti-Semitism Until 1991, most of the world declared that Zionism was a form of racism. Isa Naziri, a Jewish convert to Islam explains that the struggle against Zionism is not about Muslims and Jews [a point with which Christian Palestinians would agree] but about equal rights and justice.

Antisemitism and Anti - Zionism, from WUJS Anti-Zionism: Zionism is "a worldwide movement for the establishment and development of the state of Israel" (Webster's dictionary). Therefore anti-Zionism must be the opposition to the establishment or development of the state of Israel. In 1975 (repealed 1991) the UN declared Zionism to be Racism. www.wujs.org.il /activist/campaigns/antizionism.shtml   (1385 words)

Al-Ahram Weekly Opinion Reducing the Palestinians Only by accepting Zionism's claims that Israel is the representative of the Jewish people, does the Palestinian anti-colonial struggle become identified by Yasser Abed Rabbo as a war with the "Jewish people". Such anti-Semitic claims that flatten world Jewry as some cohesive group with an international agenda à la Protocols of the Elders of Zion would produce much uproar if their authors were not Zionism and the State of Israel. Indeed the claim advanced by Israel and its apologists that criticism of Israel is "anti-Semitic" is the most anti-Semitic claim of all, rendering all Jews around the world represented by this one state and claiming that they all approve of its atrocities and crimes against humanity. weekly.ahram.org.eg /2003/670/op42.htm   (1271 words)

Ramallah Online - Anti-Semitism & Zionism Modern political Zionism was clearly a reaction to the modern anti-Semitism of the national movements in Europe. It is no coincidence that the term “anti-Semitism”, which was coined in Germany in 1879, was followed only a few years later by the word “Zionism”, which was first used by a Vienna-born Jew, Nathan Birnbaum. Anti-Semitism set Zionism in motion, the Holocaust lent it tremendous moral power, even today it sends masses of Jews from Russia, Argentina and France to Israel. www.ramallahonline.com /modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1696   (1938 words)
