	Without Israel Judaism Is Pointless
		Israel was established to spare Jews physical danger and antisemitism.
		For him, the state of Israel is a "colonialist enterprise" and any solution to the conflict begins with the assumption that every centimeter of Israel is "usurped land" and the entire entity is illegitimate.

		This is one of the most important (and hopeful!) pieces WWV has circulated this year and, interestingly, not long after we suggested that it was time for ordinary, decent, peace-loving Jews to expose the Zionist agenda.
		The practical outcome of Zionism in the form of the State known as Israel is completely alien to Judaism and the Jewish Faith.
		We have another problem and that is that the Zionists have made themselves to appear as the representatives and spokespeople of all Jews thus, with their actions, arousing animosity against the Jews.

	Israel - The Role of Judaism
		But the opposite is true; traditional Judaism has been playing a more dominant role since the late 1960s and affecting more of the political and economic dimensions of everyday life.
		In the nineteenth century, Zionism often competed with Orthodox Judaism for the hearts and minds of young Jews, and enmity existed between Orthodox Jews of Eastern Europe and the Zionists (and those residing in Palestine in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries).
		Although Agudat Israel was originally opposed to the idea of a Jewish state, it came to accept the rationale for it in a hostile gentile world (especially after the Central and East European centers of Orthodoxy were destroyed in the Holocaust).

	"Non-Orthodox Press for Access to Israeli Mikvehs - Forward.com"
		JERUSALEM — The Israeli movements for Conservative and Reform Judaism are protesting disparaging statements made last week by the government minister in charge of religious affairs, Yitzhak Cohen of the ultra-Orthodox Shas party, who dismissed non-Orthodox conversions as “virtual” and undeserving of ritual immersion in publicly funded ritual baths.
		David Lissy, executive director and CEO of the New York-based Masorti Foundation of Conservative Judaism in Israel, sent a letter to Israel’s ambassador in Washington, Daniel Ayalon, demanding that Cohen be rebuked for his “offensive and immature” comments.

	URJ - Judaism is healthier here than in Israel
		Israel is awash in the less attractive elements of American culture: of Coca Cola and video arcades, pop music and Michael Jackson, soccer and soap operas.
		But do not be deluded: Israel has succeeded in defending her borders militarily, but not spiritually; she can guard against tanks of foreign armies but not against the enticements of foreign culture or the infiltration of cable TV.
		This means that Israel needs to renew and strengthen her peace with Jordan and Egypt, and to extend peaceful relations to an increasing circle of Middle Eastern countries; we will then look to the United States to lead these countries in monitoring the nuclear threat and ultimately dismantling it.

	Judaism and Jewish Theologians Today
		Early Reform Judaism was also antiZionist, believing the Diaspora was necessary for Jews to be "light unto the nations." Nevertheless, a number of Reform rabbis were pioneers in establishing Zionism in America, including Gustav and Richard Gottheil, Rabbi Steven S. Wise (founder of the American Jewish Congress) and Justice Louis Brandeis.
		This ideology, which proclaimed that Judaism had developed in history while simultaneously insisting upon the centrality of halacha as the essence of Judaism, ultimately came to serve as the intellectual foundation for the Conservative Movement.
		Reconstructionist Judaism is a progressive, contemporary approach to Jewish life which integrates a deep respect for traditional Judaism with the insights and ideas of contemporary social, intellectual and spiritual life.

		1), 'Judaism' signifies the religion of the Jews as contrasted with Hellenism, the religion of the Greeks.
		Judaism, then, is here taken to represent that later development of the Religion of Israel which began with the reorganisation after the Babylonian Exile (444 B.C.), and was crystallised by the Roman Exile (during the first centuries of the Christian Era).
		The exact period which will be here seized as a starting-point is the moment when the people of Israel were losing, never so far to regain, their territorial association with Palestine, and were becoming (what they have ever since been) a community as distinct from a nation.
