WTF is Zionism, bro?

thearcanetheory : wewanttobe said: do you mind explaining? i’m v. ignorant HOW DID I MISS THIS?! I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to ignore you! Ok so I guess to answer your question, I’m gonna have to do a quick-and-dirty crash course on “wtf is Zionism bro.” Zionism is actually just an umbrella term for schools of thought that refer to Jewish national self-determination. While it does have roots in traditional Jewish culture and identity, it gained movement in the 19th C in Europe, when the zeitgeist of the day was nationalism and nationalist, self-deterministic movements. Europe had never been kind to to the Jews, and the Jews were treated as a racial and religious other basically all the time, so the fact that Jews were taken up in this zeitgeist is exactly 0% surprising. Zionism as a mode for national self-determination took expression in numerous ways. One version is called Cultural Zionism, which advocates national language, culture, etc, but without the framework of a state. The (re-)revival of Hebrew (as opposed to other Judaic languages) was a Zionist project tied to this. Labour Zionism is closely tied to socialism, and focuses on workers, production, and agricultural work. It can be statist, or not statist. The Zionism that most are familiar with are variants of the dominant political strain, which called for state self-determination in the Jewish/Hebrew ethnic homeland. (And we all know where that is.) In fact, one of the bigge ...

Defining Zionism

Photo credit: David Bachar A.B. Yehoshua has a useful op-ed in Haaretz on defining Zionism (I already know what it is but many out there do not, including those who freely toss the word around). The lede: Given the ways in which the word ‘Zionism’ is thrown around both in Israel and outside of it, and the vast permutations it’s gone through over the past decades, perhaps it’s time we try to define it realistically. Voilà the full text, with key passages highlighted by me “Zionist” is a concept that’s basically simple, clear, easy to define and understand, and there should be no difficulty defending its definition. But over the past 20 to 30 years, this simple concept has turned into one of the most confused and complicated notions of identity, and its overuse has made it impossible to agree on what it means. The right likes to use it as a type of whipped cream to improve the taste of dubious dishes, while the left treats it with fear, as if it were a mine liable to explode in its hands − which is why it always feels the need to neutralize it with some strange adjective, as in “sane Zionism” or “humane Zionism.” In the dispute between the “national camp” and the “peace camp,” Zionism is used as an offensive weapon that is batted from one side to the other. Abroad, critics of Israel use Zionism as a kind of poisonous potion to exacerbate every accusation against the state. Many critics believe that the solution to Israel’s future l ...

Jewish opponents of Zionism understood the movement since its early age as one that shared the precepts of anti-Semitism in its diagnosis of what gentile Europeans called the “Jewish Question”. What galled anti-Zionist Jews the most, however, was that Zionism also shared the “solution” to the Jewish Question that anti-Semites had always advocated, namely the expulsion of Jews from Europe.

Personally, I am a Zionist, and a Christian. If Zion has one true enemy, then surely it is the Arabs. Think about it, a lot of Jewish folk are hard working business men, their main customers are white people. What exactly does "the Jew" gain from promoting the decline and extinction of the white race? As I see it, the problem is cultural Marxism (which was created by a non-Jewish Jew. Any thoughts? ...

Church of Scotland Report: anti-Zionism 0.2

Mon, 20 May 2013 10:03:44 GMT

Source: roshpinaproject.com --- Monday, May 20, 2013
The Church of Scotland’s controversial report on Israel has been revised and re-release and, can be read here . Convener Sally Foster-Fulton claims: We believe that this new version has paid attention to the concern some of the language of the previous version caused amongst the Jewish community whilst holding true to our concerns about the injustices being perpetrated because of policies of the government of Israel against the Palestinian people that we wanted to highlight. The views of this report are consistent with the views held by the Church of Scotland over many years. The report claims: “We assert our sincere belief that to be critical of the policies of the Israeli government is a legitimate part of our witness and we strongly reject accusations of anti-Semitic bias. We regularly engage with and critique policies of all governments, where we deem them to be contrary to our understanding of God’s wish for humanity.” The report is largely unchanged. Lets forget the anti-Semitic accusation for a moment and just stick with the simple bias against Israel that this report reflects. Do such denominations spend quite as much time on condemning other countries in such terms ? I don’t think so. Israel is the only country in the world whose existence is questioned for theological reasons! The Church of Scotland seems to think it has God’;s voice as it pontificates on Israel, believing this report is a “witness”. The right of return ...

Zionism and the Shah: On the Iranian Elite's Evolving Perceptions of Israel

Sun, 19 May 2013 15:00:03 GMT

Source: iranian.com --- Sunday, May 19, 2013
I t is a generally assumed that the Shah’s downfall led to the severing of ties between Israel and Iran, which up until that point resembled a love story. However, both Iran’s intellectual elite and the rest of the nation drastically changed their views of the Jewish State after 1967. Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, Shah of Iran, and his wife, Queen Farah, prepare to depart after a visit to the United States. (photo: WIkicommons) The relationship between Israel and Iran dates back to the early years of the Jewish state, and constituted the basis of both countries’ geopolitical policies. This political relationship was not, however, merely a matter of the ruling elites. Insofar as Pahlavi’s Iran is concerned, even oppositional circles in the 1960s and 1970s had a complex and sometimes favorable approach to the State of Israel. Moreover, many of these viewed Israel and Iran as essentially exceptional in nature in the contemporary Middle East, a perception that would change definitively for the worse after the 1967 war. Shortly after the establishment of Israel in 1948, a new love story began in the Middle East. In 1950, Iran granted Israel de facto recognition and opened an embassy in Jerusalem. At that time Iran was (and still is) a homeland to the largest Jewish community in the Middle East , and a safe haven for many Iraqi Jews who had fled persecution in Iraq throughout the 1940s. Unlike the majority of Jewish communities in Arab countr ...
