Zionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 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. Zionism is a political movement and ideology that supports a homeland for the Jewish People in the Land of Israel, where the Jewish nation originated over 3200 years ago and where Jewish kingdoms and self-governing states existed at various times in history. Defenders of Zionism disagree with the identification of Zionism with racism on a number of grounds; they state that the basis of the charge is too vague, as the views of Zionist groups differ widely from each other (see Types of Zionism). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Zionism   (7215 words)

Post-Zionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In constrast to the Jewish state being the aim of political Zionism, many Post-Zionists advocate the evolution of Israel into a non-ideological, secular, liberal democratic state which is officially neither Jewish nor Arab in character. Post-Zionism refers to the views of some Israeli and diaspora Jews, particularly in academia, that Zionism fulfilled its ideological mission with the creation of modern State of Israel in 1948 and that the ideology should therefore be considered to be at an end. The term is also used by Right Wing Jews to refer to the Left Wing of Israeli politics in light of the Oslo Accords. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Post-Zionism   (172 words)

Zionism Then and Now Zionism in the year 2000 means intensifying the absorption of those waves of immigration that continue to constitute the fringes of society; Zionism means turning our attention to developing the last reserves of land and the expanse of the Negev - symbol of a renewed Zionist vision. Zionism means turning our attention to the Jews of the Diaspora, helping them maintain their Jewish identity and affinity with Israel, lest this affinity develop into something lacking moral or historical perspectives, something resembling the attitude of the Italians in the United States towards Italy. Today, Zionism serves only as a point of dispute between those demanding the Land of Israel in its entirety and those who are prepared to give up, with a heavy heart, parts of the Land of Israel, for the spiritual and moral strengthening of the Jewish people in Israel and throughout the world. www.tau.ac.il /taunews/96winter/zion.html   (4651 words)

Post-Zionism and the Sephardi Question - Middle East Quarterly - Spring 2005 In an article, "Zionism from the Standpoint of Its Jewish Victims," a takeoff on Edward Said's famous "Zionism from the Standpoint of its [Palestinian] Victims,"[5] Ella Habiba-Shohat, an Iraqi-Israeli woman and one of the principal Mizrahi post-Zionist leaders, claims that, alongside the Palestinians, Mizrahi Jews are Zionism's "other" victims. With this in mind, the post-Zionist Mizrahi radical rejection of Zionism and the Israeli state is the wrong medicine for the disease. One of the main complaints of this radical intellectual school is the belief that Zionism destroyed the Mizrahi sense of community and culture by forcing the adoption of new "Zionist" and "Israeli" identities so as to eradicate any threat of a Mizrahi-Arab alliance. www.meforum.org /article/707   (4360 words)

Post Zionism: New York Times articles Zionism was in essence an answer to the Jewish problem that derived from two basic facts: the Jews were dispersed in various countries around the world, and in each country they constituted a minority. It firmly identified the author's name with political Zionism, with the view that the Jewish question was a political question with international ramifications and that it therefore needed to be attacked in the forum of international politics. Zionism, however, embodied the urge to create not merely a new Jewish state in Palestine but also a new society, based on the universal values of freedom, democracy, and social justice. home.the-wire.com /~jonny/pz1.html   (5494 words)

"The Poor in Your Own City Shall Have Precedence": A Neo-Zionist Critique of the Katzir-Qaadan Decision, by Gerald M. Steinberg Indeed, when Zionism is considered as the legitimate expression of Jewish nationalism, and the threats to the existence and territorial integrity of Israel are recognized, the designation of some areas for exclusively Jewish settlement, in areas such as Nahal Irun, the Galilee, and the Negev, are entirely justifiable. By the same token, the Arab war against Zionism was manifested in violence designed to terrorize residents of isolated settlements, and in efforts to prevent Jewish ownership of land. For many Israelis growing up after 1948, Zionism became a negative term, satirized and trivialized, and the details of its achievements were rarely taught in the Israeli schools. www.jcpa.org /jl/vp445.htm   (4934 words)

"Old and Post Zionism Are Dead - New Zionism Needed - December 29, 2001 - Thinking Aloud - Rabbi Rafael G. Grossman The advocates of post Zionism perpetrated both a lie and injustice against Israel and the Jewish people. Zionism needed a new agenda, not a death blow. The Israeli new Zionism should be a source of inspiration and motivation for our historic past and the fulfillment of the great Jewish dream of a peaceful world as our prophets foretold. www.ou.org /torah/grossman/2001/122901.htm   (703 words)

ACPR - Policy Paper 134 - ZIONISM, THE POST-ZIONISTS AND MYTH The Post-Zionists denounce Zionism for asserting the significance of Jewish historical continuity, for “brainwashing” Jewish youth into thinking that they are walking in the footsteps of their forebears from ancient times, and for calling upon Jewry to assume collective responsibility for its historical fate instead of worshiping radical individualism. Post-Zionist writers even accuse Zionism of purposely and systematically “commissioning” great poets, scholars, educators, writers, etc. to disseminate Zionist ideology to justify its egregiously immoral act of occupying Arab territory in Palestine/Israel. By so doing, Zionism sought to brainwash Israel-born generations of Jewish youth, that they were the true descendants of earlier generations of Jews who cherished a love of Zion since Biblical antiquity. www.acpr.org.il /publications/policy-papers/pp134-xs.html   (495 words)

The Peace Encyclopedia: Anti-Zionism, Anti-Zionists The facile rhetorical linkage of Zionism with imperialism and racism is little more than an admission that Jews are uniquely not entitled to be like everyone else and live as citizens as part of a majority in a nation, for better or for worse. Zionism, even as a code word, is the litmus test with respect to anti-Semitism throughout the world, even in America. Zionism, as mirrored in the State of Israel, has proven the point that Jews are in fact just human. www.yahoodi.com /peace/antizionism.html   (6850 words)

Raya Epstein: POST-ZIONISM AND DEMOCRACY The last devotees of socialist Zionism who try to defend themselves against the post-Zionist attack by accusing post-Zionists of replacing “the old, patriotic and collectivist Israeli values with neoliberal, individualist values”, fall into the trap that was prepared for them in advance. All the post-Zionists did was to logically and consistently extend this notion, and proclaim that Zionism and the State of Israel as a whole are “occupied territory”. Zionism’s greatest difficulty at present is its inability to restore the ancestral faith that is disappearing, so that it is forced to rely on the national-ethnic principle alone. www.acpr.org.il /ENGLISH-NATIV/02-issue/epstein-2.htm   (7924 words)

ARPA: Grappling with Post-Zionism From post-structuralism to post-colonialism and post-nationalism, the ubiquitous ‘post’ prefix is fraught with peril. Modern Political Zionism began in Europe, as a movement designed to deliver the Jews from what was perceived to be an eternal, ineradicable dynamic by sectors of the Gentile world to dilute Jewish culture—if not exterminate the Jews altogether. According to classical Zionism, the Jews were simply so different that assimilation in Gentile society was a useless illusion. www.australianreview.net /digest/2003/09/white.html   (2003 words)

Inquiry and Analysis Series - No. 1 The assumption of post-Zionism is that Zionism is no longer relevant as the leading idea in the life of the Israeli state, which has reached a post-nationalist stage. Negating the moral right of Zionism and presenting it as tarnished by the sin of the calculated expulsion of another people is meant to plant a deep sense of guilt in the Israeli mind. Palestinian arguments expressed at the meeting revealed that political goals (the destruction of Zionism) were veiled by a seemingly innocent discussion of history. memri.org /bin/articles.cgi?Page=subjects&Area=jihad&ID=IA0198   (1570 words)

MEMRI: Leading Israeli Author Aharon Meged on Post-Zionism Post Zionism [is now emerging as the prevailing trend]. A hundred years of Zionism here produced a generation of native Israelis who without a doubt have this affinity [to the land and the nation]. The bond between the people and the land [of Israel] is still very much alive, and so is the connection to their Jewish roots, despite existing trends which tend to treat Zionism as an obsolete concept, as a myth.... www.cdn-friends-icej.ca /isreport/septoct00/postzion.html   (2964 words)

Post Zionism article from WUJS The Israeli Left takes issue with the post-Zionist postulate that states that Zionism consciously strove for the mass expulsion of the Palestinian population from the land of Israel. It was Labor Zionism which took all the concrete political decisions vis-à-vis the Palestinians, both in the pre-state period, and for various decades afterwards. It was only as a result of the historical dynamic that the negative aspects of Zionism came to the forefront. www.wujs.org.il /activist/features/articles/afraid.shtml   (1618 words)

What is Zionism Zionism was born as a response against discrimination and racism. While Zionism is the national liberation movement of the Jewish people, our liberation is impossible without the concomitant flourishing of Palestinian political and cultural life in a state living at peace next to Israel, whose people should be treated with full respect and equality when they are citizens of Israel. But their ideas can be united, particularly now that political Zionism has achieved its primary goal of establishing a Jewish state. www.chicagopeacenow.org /wiz-complete.html   (5754 words)

Is Post-Zionism Postmodern? Because Zionism was a colonization movement, key issues such as agricultural development and land purchases cannot be fully understood outside the context of European colonial discourse and practice, including models pro vided by other projects of European overseas settlement. The term was coined by Ben-Gurion, who felt that the new institutions of the Yishuv and then the new Israeli state were the highest expression of Zionism, and that their relationship to the people was central to the development of the nation. Postcolonial writers such as Edward Said, Samir Amin, and others have revealed the cultural component of European imperialism and colonialism, demonstrating how the "point of departure for the conquest of the world" by Europe was the universalization of both the economic and ideological aspects of modernity. www.wzo.org.il /en/resources/view.asp?id=1532   (2241 words)

Post Zionist - Zionism and Israel -Encyclopedia / Dictionary/Lexicon of Zionism/Israel/ However, there is no "post Zionist movement" and there is no "Post Zionism."

TNR Online The Past Is Not a Foreign Country by Anita Shapira The attempt to attribute the sins of the present to Zionism's founding fathers is a hallmark of the politics of the Israeli right: thus the members of Gush Emunim (Bloc of the Faithful) present themselves as the rightful heirs to the pioneer heritage in the pre-state period. But the Israeli left (which includes Labor Zionism) is, in Shlaim's eyes, hypocritical and inauthentic, with all its moral perplexity and its overblown sensitivity, aspiring to a brand of Zionism with humanistic and socialist elements, and attempting to dodge the problem as long as it was not acute. The transfer idea goes back to the fathers of modern Zionism and, while rarely given a public airing before 1937, was one of the main currents in Zionist ideology from the movement's inception. ontology.buffalo.edu /smith/courses01/rrtw/Shapira.htm   (9008 words)

Resources and articles on Post-Zionism For some, post-Zionism is nothing less than the unraveling of the Zionist State and its inherently Jewish nature; for others it is simply an updating of Zionism, more in keeping with the new millenium, and for others it is merely a passing phase. Dave Mendelsson takes up the challenge in this penetrating article, which attempts to look at the phenomenon of post-Zionism against the wider backdrop of intellectual developments within the Jewish state. Be that as it may, the existence of the post-Zionist trend as such is a warning sign, reminding us that the mere physical concentration of the Jewish people within their demographic borders in no way guarantees the Judeo-Zionist essence of the state. www.wzo.org.il /en/resources/expand_subject.asp?s=Post-Zionism&id=189   (690 words)

Jajz Faq - Modern Zionism is a movement whose goal is the return of Jews to Eretz Yisrael, or Zion, the Jewish synonym for Jerusalem and the Land of Israel. Zionism developed in different directions, and - since Israel's statehood in 1948 - it has been debated as the means to an end, rather than the goal itself. For Zionism, as I perceive it, incorporates not only the aspiration to a secured plot of land for our wretched people, but also the desire for moral and spiritual fulfillment." jajzfaq.unitedapps.com /faqs/faqCategoryDisplay.aspx?categoryid=604&rs...   (1502 words)

Post-Post-Zionism In the opinion of post-Zionists, Zionism and Judaism never were legitimate and should be phased out. Zionism doesn't claim perfection; it admits to human shortcomings, but has labored under extraordinary adversity which the emotionally impaired anti- Zionists are incapable of understanding. Zionism and Judaism are not shameful, insincere critics are. radiobergen.org /essays/ppostzion.htm   (728 words)

New Publication Examines Post Zionism: The Challenge To Israel The 30-page booklet, entitled "Post Zionism: The Challenge To Israel," is the fifth in a series of papers published jointly by the Argov Center for the Study of Israel and the Jewish People, Bar-Ilan University and the American Jewish Committee's Institute on American Jewish - Israeli Relations (IAJIR). Radical post-Zionism feeds the propaganda of Israel's enemies, who claim that the Jewish state was born in sin .Perhaps the most dangerous implication of post-Zionism is its denial of Jewish peoplehood." In addition, she notes that while "the basic motivation for the establishment of Zionism was the physical and cultural preservation of Jewry, a new Israeli self-definition disconnects Israelis from the Jewish people and the Jewish heritage. www.charitywire.com /charity11/00307.html   (969 words)

Jewlicious » Why Zionism rules. Zionism pre-supposes the right of a certain ethno-racial-religious group to settle and rule over a certain piece of land based solely on their identity.

NATIV - Jan. 2004 - Raya Epstein: Post-Zionism and Democracy In contrast, both the socialist component of Labor Zionism and its post-Zionist enemy – are both anchored in the French totalitarian model, which is hostile to Judaism. The early adherents of socialist Zionism find themselves incapable of reconciling Zionism with anti-totalitarian principles. The Israeli Left, in the wake of the Six Day War, did not exchange one form of liberal democracy for another, but rather carried out a silent revolution, a reversal, which was neither brought to the attention of the public nor recognized as such by the people. www.acpr.org.il /NATIV/2004-1/2004-1-epstein-xs.htm   (463 words)
