  Revisionist Zionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Revisionist Zionism was instead centered on a vision of "political Zionism", which Jabotinsky regarded as following the legacy of Theodore Herzl, the founder of modern political Zionism.
Despite its strong representation in the Zionist Organization, Revisionist Zionism had a small presence in the Yishuv, in contrast to Labour Zionism, which was dominant among kibbutzim and workers, and hence the settlement enterprise.
By the late 1930s, Revisionist Zionism was divided into three distinct idealogical streams: the "Centrists", the Irgun, and the "Messianists".

 Zionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zionism is a political movement and an ideology that supports a Jewish homeland in the Land of Israel, where the Jewish nation originated and where Jewish kingdoms and self-governing states existed at various times in history.
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.
The term Zionism is also sometimes used retroactively to describe the millennia-old Biblical connection between the Jewish people and the Land of Israel, which existed long before the birth of the modern Zionist movement.

 Why Zionism Is Racism
I believe that zionism is racism, because in establishing the racially exclusive state of Israel, in 1948, and expelling the indigenous Palestinians from the land, the zionists severed a relationship that people had to the land for over 4,000 years, uninterrupted, since before Abraham.
I believe that zionism is racism, because in building Israel, the zionists were revising history, embracing the notion of racial superiority, an ideology that has empowered them to discriminate, with all of its associated social ills, injustices, and moral bankruptcy.
I believe that zionism is racism because it is presented by its champions, from Gil Troy to Elie Wiesel, as a romantic movement, which allowed zionists to reclaim the desert and build a model nation-state.

The vision of the revisionist Zionists was the establishment of a Jewish state within the borders of Greater Israel (including what today is Jordan), without specifying how this aim should be achieved or how to deal with the Arab inhabitants of the country and region.
Labour Zionism has no fixed or sacred borders: the amount of territory under Jewish control is flexible, subject to a complex combination of territorial, political, social and demographic considerations.

 Strategic Insights -- Framing the Zionist Movement: The Effects of Zionist Discourse on the Arab-Israeli Peace Process
Under self-rule, Zionism experienced reframing during the 1950s due to a power struggle between the external ZO, whose role was diminished to monetary support, and a new Israeli government trying to legitimate itself and control its financial resources.
For Israeli youth, Zionism became a derogatory term associated with those who lacked the Israeli experience.[57] However, the victory of the 1967 Six Day War had a profound effect on political orientation in Israel and inspired a radical redefinition of Zionism by Israeli youth.
Messianic Zionism was therefore revived with a militantly Revisionist twist and moved to the forefront of Jewish ideology and political control, thereby justifying Israel’s possession of conquered territories.

 The Iron Wall: Zionist Revisionism from Jabotinsky to Shamir, reviewed by Robert G. Hazo, Sept. 17, 1984
Jabotinsky, the linguist, cosmopolitan and litterateur, converted to Zionism, was a manipulator, an opportunist, a natural leader and a grand strategist par excellence.
Jabotinsky's failure and Begin's success, then, is most accurately attributed to timing, to Begin's presence at the time of the historical maturation of Zionism rather than to a disparity in their political abilities.
By the 1930s, when Zionism became a movement of some magnitude, most Zionist leaders also knew these things, though they were not willing to admit them.

 Zionism and Socialism
Zionism is the attempt to create an independent state in which Jewish culture is primary.

Reactionary forces on both sides and their respective supporters are making every attempt to undermine a coalition of progressive forces but with determination that coalition can come about and have a significant influence.

 Review of Harkabi's "Israel's Fateful Hour" (1988)
For instance, he points out that Ze'ev Jabotinsky, the founder of Revisionist Zionism, was "inspired by Marshal Pilsudski" (p.135) -- that is, the proto- Fascist Polish strongman, Josef Pilsudski -- and indicates that the "overblown nationalism" of Pilsudski's Poland and Fascist Italy (cf.
This is suggestive that the original Revisionist Zionism should be categorized at least as a Fascist-type bourgeois party.
When Harkabi recounts the struggle of Yitzhak Shamir's faction of the Revisionists to ally itself with Nazi Germany (p.214), the categorization is even further corroborated.
