(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_Zionism) The common denominator among all Zionists is the claim to _Eretz Israel_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eretz_Israel) as the national homeland of the Jews and as the legitimate focus for the Jewish national self-determination._[14]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-14) It is based on historical ties and _religious traditions_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaism) linking the Jewish people to the _Land of Israel_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_of_Israel) ._[15]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-15) Zionism does not have a uniform ideology, but has evolved in a dialogue among a plethora of ideologies: General Zionism, _Religious Zionism_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_Zionism) , _Labor Zionism_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_Zionism) , _Revisionist Zionism_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revisionist_Zionism) , _Green Zionism_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Zionism) , etc. After almost two millennia of existence of the _Jewish diaspora_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_diaspora) without a national state, the Zionist movement was founded in the late 19th century by _secular Jews_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secular_Jewish_culture) , largely as a response by _Ashkenazi Jews_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashkenazi_Jews) to rising _antisemitism_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism) in _Europe_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe) , exemplified by the _Dreyfus affair_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreyfus_affair) in France and the _anti-Jewish pogroms in the Russian Empire_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Jewish_pogroms_in_the_Russian_Empire) ._[16]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-16) The political movement was formally established by the _Austro-Hungarian_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austria–Hungary) journalist _Theodor Herzl_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodor_Herzl) in 1897 following the publication of his book _Der Judenstaat_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Judenstaat) ._[17]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-17) At that time, the movement sought to encourage _Jewish migration_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliyah) to the Ottoman _Palestine_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine) . Although initially one of several Jewish political movements offering alternative responses to _assimilation_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_assimilation) and antisemitism, Zionism grew rapidly and became the dominant force in Jewish politics with the destruction of Jewish life in Central and Eastern Europe where these alternative movements were rooted. The movement was eventually successful in establishing Israel on May 14, 1948 (5 Iyyar 5708 in the _Hebrew calendar_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_calendar) ), as the _homeland for the Jewish people_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeland_for_the_Jewish_people) . The proportion of the world's Jews living in Israel has also steadily grown since the movement came into existence and over 40% of the _world's Jews_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_population) now live in Israel, more than in any other country. These two outcomes represent the historical success of Zionism, unmatched by any other Jewish political movement in the past 2,000 years. In some academic studies, Zionism has been analyzed both within the larger context of _diaspora politics_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaspora_politics) and as an example of modern _national liberation movements_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wars_of_national_liberation) ._[18]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-18) Zionism also sought assimilation into the modern world. As a result of the Diaspora, many of the Jewish people remained outsiders within their adopted countries and became detached from modern ideas. So-called "assimilationist" Jews desired complete integration into European society. They were willing to downplay their Jewish identity or even to abandon their traditional views and opinions in an attempt at modernization and assimilation into the modern world. A less radical form of assimilation was called cultural synthesis.[_citation needed_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed) ] Those in favor of cultural synthesis desired continuity and only moderate evolution, and were concerned that Jews should not lose their identity. "Cultural synthesists" emphasized both a need to maintain traditional Jewish values and faith, and a need to conform to a modernist society._[19]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-19) In 1975, the _United Nations General Assembly_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembly) passed a resolution that designated Zionism as "_a form of racism and racial discrimination_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolution_3379) ". The resolution was repealed in 1991 by replacing Resolution 3379 with _United Nations General Assembly Resolution 46/86_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembly_Resolution_46/8 6) . Within the context of the _Arab–Israeli conflict_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab–Israeli_conflict) , Zionism is viewed by critics as a system that _fosters apartheid_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_and_the_apartheid_analogy) and racism._[20]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-20) Terminology The term "Zionism" itself is derived from the word _Zion_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zion) (_Hebrew_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_language) : ציון, Tzi-yon), referring to _Jerusalem_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem) . Throughout eastern Europe in the late 19th century, there were numerous grassroots groups promoting the national resettlement of the Jews in what was termed their "ancestral homeland", as well as the revitalization and cultivation of _Hebrew_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew) . These groups were collectively called the "_Lovers of Zion_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lovers_of_Zion) ." The first use of the term is attributed to the Austrian _Nathan Birnbaum_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Birnbaum) , founder of a nationalist Jewish students' movement Kadimah, who used the term in 1890 in his journal Selbstemanzipation (Self Emancipation)._[21]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-21) Organization Members and delegates at the 1939 Zionist congress, by country/region (Zionism was banned in the Soviet Union). 70,000 Polish Jews supported the _Revisionist Zionism_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revisionist_Zionism) movement, which was not represented._[22]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-22) Country/Region Members Delegates Poland 299,165 109 USA 263,741 114 Palestine 167,562 134 Romania 60,013 28 United Kingdom 23,513 15 South Africa 22,343 14 Canada 15,220 8 The multi-national, worldwide Zionist _movement_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_movement) is structured on _representative democratic_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representative_democracy) principles. Congresses are held every four years (they were held every two years before the Second World War) and delegates to the congress are elected by the membership. Members are required to pay dues known as a shekel. At the congress, delegates elect a 30-man executive council, which in turn elects the movement's leader. The movement was democratic from its inception and women had the right to vote. Until 1917, the _World Zionist Organization_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Zionist_Organization) pursued a strategy of building a _Jewish National Home_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_National_Home) through persistent small-scale immigration and the founding of such bodies as the _Jewish National Fund_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_National_Fund) (1901 — a charity that bought land for Jewish settlement) and the _Anglo-Palestine Bank_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Palestine_Bank) (1903 — provided loans for Jewish businesses and farmers). In 1942, at the _Biltmore Conference_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biltmore_Conference) , the movement included for the first time an express objective of the establishment of a Jewish state in the Land of Israel. The 28th _Zionist Congress_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionist_Congress) , meeting in Jerusalem in 1968, adopted the five points of the "Jerusalem Program" as the aims of Zionism today. They are:_[23]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-23) * Unity of the Jewish People and the centrality of Israel in Jewish life * Ingathering of the Jewish People in its historic homeland, Eretz Israel, through _Aliyah_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliyah) from all countries * Strengthening of the State of Israel, based on the prophetic vision of justice and peace * Preservation of the identity of the Jewish People through fostering of Jewish and Hebrew education, and of Jewish spiritual and cultural values * Protection of Jewish rights everywhere Since the creation of modern Israel, the role of the movement has declined and it is now a peripheral factor in _Israeli politics_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_politics) , though different perceptions of Zionism continue to play a role in Israeli and Jewish political discussion. Labor Zionism Main article: _Labor Zionists_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_Zionists) Labor Zionism originated in Eastern Europe. Socialist Zionists believed that centuries of oppression in antisemitic societies had reduced Jews to a meek, vulnerable, despairing existence that invited further antisemitism, a view originally stipulated by _Theodor Herzl_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodor_Herzl) . They argued that a revolution of the Jewish soul and society was necessary and achievable in part by Jews moving to Israel and becoming farmers, workers, and soldiers in a country of their own. Most socialist Zionists rejected the observance of traditional religious Judaism as perpetuating a "Diaspora mentality" among the Jewish people, and established rural communes in Israel called "_kibbutzim_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibbutz) ". The kibbutz began as a variation on a "national farm" scheme, a form of cooperative agriculture where the Jewish National Fund hired Jewish workers under trained supervision. The kibbutzim were a symbol of the Second _Aliya_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliyah) in that they put great emphasis on communalism and egalitarianism, representing to a certain extent Utopian socialism. Furthermore, they stressed self-sufficiency, which became an important aspect of Labor Zionism. Though socialist Zionism draws its inspiration and is philosophically founded on the fundamental values and spirituality of Judaism, its progressive expression of that Judaism has often fostered an antagonistic relationship with _Orthodox Judaism_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthodox_Judaism) . Labor Zionism became the dominant force in the political and economic life of the _Yishuv_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yishuv) during the _British Mandate of Palestine_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Mandate_of_Palestine) and was the dominant ideology of the political establishment in Israel until the _1977 election_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_legislative_election,_1977) when the _Israeli Labor Party_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_Labor_Party) was defeated. The _Israeli Labor Party_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_Labor_Party) continues the tradition, although the most popular party in the kibbutzim is _Meretz_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meretz) .[_citation needed_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed) ] Labor Zionism's main institution is the Histadrut, which began by providing strikebreakers against a Palestinian worker's strike in 1920 and is now the largest employer in Israel after the Israeli government. Liberal Zionism Main article: _General Zionists_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Zionists) General Zionism (or Liberal Zionism) was initially the dominant trend within the Zionist movement from the _First Zionist Congress_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Zionist_Congress) in 1897 until after the First World War. General Zionists identified with the liberal European middle class to which many Zionist leaders such as Herzl and _Chaim Weizmann_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaim_Weizmann) aspired. Liberal Zionism, although not associated with any single party in modern Israel, remains a strong trend in Israeli politics advocating free market principles, democracy and adherence to human rights. _Kadima_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kadima) , however, does identify with many of the fundamental policies of Liberal Zionist ideology, advocating among other things the need for Palestinian statehood in order to form a more democratic society in Israel, affirming the free market, and calling for equal rights for Arab citizens of Israel. Nationalist Zionism Main article: _Revisionist Zionism_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revisionist_Zionism) Nationalist Zionism originated from the Revisionist Zionists led by _Jabotinsky_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jabotinsky) . The Revisionists left the World Zionist Organization in 1935 because it refused to state that the creation of a Jewish state was an objective of Zionism. The revisionists advocated the formation of a Jewish Army in Palestine to force the Arab population to accept mass Jewish migration. Revisionist Zionism evolved into the _Likud_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Likud) Party in Israel, which has dominated most governments since 1977. It advocates that Israel maintain control of the _West Bank_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Bank) , including _East Jerusalem_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Jerusalem) , and takes a hard-line approach in the Israeli-Arab conflict. In 2005 the Likud split over the issue of creation of a Palestinian state on the occupied territories, and party members advocating peace talks helped form the _Kadima_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kadima) party. Religious Zionism Main article: _Religious Zionism_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_Zionism) In the 1920s and 1930s Rabbi _Abraham Isaac Kook_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Isaac_Kook) (the first _Chief Rabbi of Palestine_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_Rabbinate_of_Israel) ) and his son Rabbi Zevi Judah Kook saw great religious and traditional value in many of Zionism's ideals, while rejecting its anti-religious undertones. They taught that Orthodox (Torah) Judaism embraces and mandates Zionism's positive ideals, such as the ingathering of exiles, and political activity to create and maintain a Jewish political entity in the Land of Israel. In this way, Zionism serves as a bridge between Orthodox and secular Jews. While other Zionist groups tended to moderate their nationalism over time, the _gains_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli-occupied_territories) from the _Six-Day War_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-Day_War) have led religious Zionism to play a significant role in Israeli political life. Now associated with the _National Religious Party_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Religious_Party) and _Gush Emunim_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gush_Emunim) , religious Zionists have been at the forefront of Jewish settlement in the West Bank and efforts to assert Jewish control over the _Old City_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_City_(Jerusalem)) of Jerusalem. Green Zionism Main article: _Green Zionism_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Zionism) _Green Zionism_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Zionism) is a branch of Zionism primarily concerned with the environment of Israel. The only environmental Zionist party is the _Green Zionist Alliance_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Zionist_Alliance) . Neo-Zionism and Post-Zionism During the last quarter of the 20th century, classic nationalism in Israel declined. This led to the rise of two antagonistic movements: _neo-Zionism_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Zionism) and _post-Zionism_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-Zionism) . Both movements mark the Israeli version of a worldwide phenomenon: * Emergence of globalization, a market society and liberal culture * Local backlash_[24]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-24) Neo-Zionism and post-Zionism share traits with "classical" Zionism but differ by accentuating antagonist and diametrically opposed poles already present in Zionism. "Neo Zionism accentuates the messianic and particularistic dimensions of Zionist nationalism, while post-Zionism accentuates its normalising and universalistic dimensions"._[25]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-Chan58-25) Post-Zionism asserts that Israel should abandon the concept of a "state of the Jewish people" and strive to be a state of all its citizens,_[26]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-26) or a _binational state_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-state_solution) where Arabs and Jews live together while enjoying some type of autonomy.

(August 2014) Most Haredi Orthodox organizations do not belong to the Zionist movement; they view Zionism as secular, reject nationalism as a doctrine and consider Judaism to be first and foremost a religion. However, some Haredi movements such as _Shas_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shas) do openly affiliate with the Zionist movement. Haredi rabbis do not consider Israel to be a _halachic_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halacha) Jewish state because it is secular. However, they generally consider themselves responsible for ensuring that Jews maintain religious ideals and since most Israeli citizens are Jews they pursue this agenda within Israel. Others reject any possibility of a Jewish state, since according to them a Jewish state is completely forbidden by Jewish law, and a Jewish state is considered an oxymoron. Two Haredi parties run in Israeli elections. They are sometimes associated with views that could be regarded as nationalist or Zionist, and have shown a preference for coalitions with more nationalist Zionist parties, probably because these are more interested in enhancing the Jewish nature of the Israeli state. The Sephardi-Orthodox party _Shas_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shas) rejected association with the Zionist movement, however in 2010 it joined the _World Zionist Organization_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Zionist_Organization) , its voters also generally regard themselves as Zionist and Knesset members frequently pursue what others might consider a Zionist agenda. Shas has supported territorial compromise with the Arabs and Palestinians but generally opposes compromise over Jewish holy sites. The non-Hasidic or 'Lithuanian' Haredi Ashkenazi world is represented by the Ashkenazi _Agudat Israel_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agudat_Israel) /_UTJ_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Torah_Judaism) party has always avoided association with the Zionist movement and usually avoids voting on or discussing issues related to peace because its members do not serve in the army. The party does work towards ensuring that Israel and Israeli law are in tune with the _halacha_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halacha) , on issues such as _Shabbat_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shabbat) rest. The rabbinical leaders of the so-called Litvishe world in current and past generations, such as Rabbi _Elazar Menachem Shach_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elazar_Menachem_Shach) and Rabbi _Avigdor Miller_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avigdor_Miller) , are strongly opposed to all forms of Zionism, religious and secular, but allow for slight cooperation in the form of participating in Israeli political life, including both passive and active participation in elections. Many other _Hasidic_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasidic_Judaism) groups, most famously the _Satmar_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satmar_(Hasidic_dynasty)) Hasidim as well as the larger movement they are part of in Jerusalem, the _Edah HaChareidis_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edah_HaChareidis) , are strongly anti-Zionist. One of the best known Hasidic opponent of all forms of modern political Zionism was _Hungarian_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungary) _rebbe_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebbe) and _Talmudic_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talmud) scholar _Joel Teitelbaum_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Teitelbaum) . In his view, the current _State of Israel_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_Israel) , which was _founded_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_the_Establishment_of_the_State_ of_Israel) by people that included some anti-religious personalities in seeming violation of the traditional notion that Jews should wait for the Jewish Messiah, is seen as contrary to Judaism. The core citations from classical Judaic sources cited by Teitelbaum in his arguments against modern Zionism are based on a passage in the Talmud, Rabbi Yosi b'Rebbi Hanina explains (Kesubos 111a) that the Lord imposed "_Three Oaths_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Oaths) " on the nation of Israel: a) Israel should not return to the Land together, by force; b) Israel should not rebel against the other nations; and c) The nations should not subjugate Israel too harshly. According to Teitelbaum, the second oath is relevant concerning the subsequent wars fought between Israel and Arab nations. Other opponent groups included in the Edah HaChareidis include _Dushinsky_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dushinsky) , _Toldos Aharon_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toldos_Aharon) , _Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toldos_Avrohom_Yitzchok) , _Spinka_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinka) , and others, numbering tens of thousands in Jerusalem, and hundreds of thousands worldwide. The _Neturei Karta_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neturei_Karta) , an orthodox Haredi religious movement, strongly oppose Zionism and Israel; it considers the latter a racist regime._[27]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-27) The movement equates Zionism to _Nazism_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism) , stating "Apart from the Zionists, the only ones who consistently considered the Jews a race were the Nazis."_[28]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-28) Naturei Karta believes that Zionist ideology is totally contrary to traditional _Jewish law_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_law) and beliefs and the teachings of the _Holy Torah_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torah) _[29]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-29) and that Zionism promotes _antisemitism_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism) ._[30]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-30) The _Chabad-Lubavitch_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chabad-Lubavitch) Hasidic movement has traditionally not identified itself as Zionist, although in recent years it has adopted a nationalist agenda and opposed any territorial compromise to become _Neo-Zionist_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Zionism) .

Though later Zionist leaders hoped to create a Jewish state in Eretz Yisrael, Theodor Herzl "approached Great Britain about possible Jewish settlement in that country's East African colonies."_[31]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-31) _Aliyah_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliyah) (migration, literally "ascent") to the Land of Israel is a recurring theme in Jewish prayers. _Rejection of life in the Diaspora_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negation_of_the_Diaspora) is a central assumption in Zionism._[32]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-32) Underlying this attitude is the feeling that the Diaspora restricts the full growth of Jewish individual and national life. Zionists generally preferred to speak _Hebrew_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew) , a _Semitic language_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic_language) that developed under conditions of freedom in ancient _Judah_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Judah) , modernizing and adapting it for everyday use. Zionists sometimes refused to speak _Yiddish_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yiddish) , a language they considered affected by _European persecution_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism_in_Europe) . Once they moved to Israel, many Zionists refused to speak their (diasporic) mother tongues and gave themselves new, Hebrew names. Hebrew was preferred not only for ideological reasons, but also because it allowed all citizens of the new state to have a common language, thus furthering the political and cultural bonds between Zionists. Major aspects of the Zionist idea are represented in the _Israeli Declaration of Independence_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_Declaration_of_Independence) : The Land of Israel was the birthplace of the Jewish people. Here their spiritual, religious and political identity was shaped. Here they first attained to statehood, created cultural values of national and universal significance and gave to the world the eternal Book of Books. After being forcibly exiled from their land, the people kept faith with it throughout their Dispersion and never ceased to pray and hope for their return to it and for the restoration in it of their political freedom. Impelled by this historic and traditional attachment, Jews strove in every successive generation to re-establish themselves in their ancient homeland. In recent decades they returned in their masses._[33]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-Harris-33) Zionism is dedicated to fighting antisemitism. Some Zionists believe antisemitism will never disappear (and that Jews must conduct themselves with this in mind),_[34]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-34) while others perceive Zionism as a vehicle with which to end antisemitism.

According to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, _Eretz Israel_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eretz_Israel) is a land promised to the Jews by God according to the Hebrew and Greek Bibles and the Quran, respectively. The Diaspora began in 586 BCE during the Babylonian occupation of Israel. The Babylonians destroyed the First Temple, which was central to Jewish culture at the time. After the 1st century _Great Revolt_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Jewish–Roman_War) and the 2nd century _Bar Kokhba revolt_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_Kokhba_revolt) , the _Romans_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Empire) expelled the Jews from _Judea_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judea) , changing the name to Syria Palaestina. The Bar Kokhba revolt caused a spike in anti-Semitism and Jewish persecution. The ensuing exile from Judea greatly increased the percent of Jews who were dispersed throughout the Diaspora instead of living in their original home. _Zion_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Zion) is a hill near Jerusalem (now in the city), widely symbolizing the Land of Israel. In the middle of the 16th century _Joseph Nasi_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Nasi) , with the support of the _Ottoman Empire_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Empire) , tried to gather the Portuguese Jews, first to _Cyprus_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyprus) , then owned by the Republic of Venice and later to Tiberias. This was the only practical attempt to establish some sort of Jewish political center in Palestine between the fourth and 19th centuries._[36]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-36) In the 17th century _Sabbatai Zebi_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabbatai_Zebi) (1626–1676) announced himself as the Messias and gained over many Jews to his side, forming a base in Salonica. He first tried to establish a settlement in Gaza, but moved later to Smyrna. After deposing the old rabbi _Aaron Lapapa_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Lapapa) even the Jewish community of _Avignon_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avignon) prepared to emigrate to the new kingdom in the spring of 1666. The readiness of the Jews of the time to believe the messianic claims of Sabbatai Zevi may be largely explained by the desperate state of European Jewry in the mid-17th century. The bloody pogroms of _Bohdan Khmelnytsky_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohdan_Khmelnytsky) had wiped out one third of the Jewish population and destroyed many centers of Jewish learning and communal life. Finally, he was forced by the Ottoman Sultan _Mehmed IV_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehmed_IV) to visit him and, to the surprise of his followers, in the presence of the Sultan he converted to Islam._[37]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-37) _[38]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-38) In the 19th century, a current in Judaism supporting a _return to Zion_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_to_Zion) grew in popularity,_[39]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-39) particularly in Europe, where antisemitism and hostility towards Jews were also growing, although this idea was rejected by the conferences of rabbis held in that epoch. Nonetheless, individual efforts supported the emigration of groups of Jews to Palestine, _pre-Zionist Aliyah_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliyah#Pre-Zionist_Aliyah) , even before 1897, the year considered as the start of practical Zionism._[40]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-40) The Reformed Jews rejected this idea of a return to Zion. The conference of rabbis, at _Frankfurt am Main_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_am_Main) , July 15–28, 1845, deleted from the ritual all prayers for a return to Zion and a restoration of a Jewish state. The Philadelphia conference, 1869, followed the lead of the German rabbis and decreed that the Messianic hope of Israel is "the union of all the children of God in the confession of the unity of God". The Pittsburg conference, 1885, reiterated this Messianic idea of reformed Judaism, expressing in a resolution that "we consider ourselves no longer a nation, but a religious community; and we therefore expect neither a return to Palestine, nor a sacrificial worship under the sons of Aaron, nor the restoration of any of the laws concerning a Jewish state"._[41]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-41) Jewish settlements were established in the upper Mississippi region by W.D. Robinson in 1819 and near Jerusalem, by the American Consul _Warder Cresson_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warder_Cresson) , a convert to Judaism, in 1850. Cresson was tried and condemned for lunacy in a suit brought forward by his own wife and son. The basis of the suit was that only a lunatic would convert to Judaism from Christianity. After a second trail, revolving upon the centrality of American freedom of faith issues and anti-Semitism, Cresson won the bitterly contested suit._[42]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-42) He emigrated to Ottoman Palestine and established an agricultural colony in the _Valley of Rephaim_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_Rephaim) of Jerusalem.

FORCE them into a pretended conversion."_[43]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-43) Moral but not practical efforts were made in Prague, by _Abraham Benisch_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Benisch) and _Moritz Steinschneider_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moritz_Steinschneider) in 1835. In the United States, _Mordechai Noah_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mordechai_Noah&action=edit&redlink=1) attempted to establish a Jewish refuge opposite Buffalo, N.Y. on Grand Isle, 1825._[44]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-44) _[45]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-45) The early Jewish efforts of Cresson, Benisch, Steinschneider and Noah failed. Sir _Moses Montefiore_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses_Montefiore) , famous for his intervention in favor of Jews around the world, including the attempt to rescue _Edgardo Mortara_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgardo_Mortara) , established a colony for Jews in Palestine. In 1854, his friend _Judah Touro_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judah_Touro) bequeathed money to fund Jewish residential settlement in Palestine. Montefiore was appointed executor of his will, and used the funds for a variety of projects, including building in 1860 the first Jewish residential settlement and almshouse outside of the old walled city of Jerusalem—today known as _Mishkenot Sha'ananim_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mishkenot_Sha'ananim) . _Laurence Oliphant_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurence_Oliphant_(author)) failed in a like attempt to bring to Palestine the Jewish proletariat of Poland, Lithuania, Romania, and the Turkish Empire (1879 and 1882). The official beginning of the construction of the _New Yishuv_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Yishuv) in Palestine is usually dated back to the arrival of the _Bilu_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilu) group in 1882, which commenced the _First Aliyah_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Aliyah) . In the following years, Jewish immigration to Palestine started in earnest. Most _immigrants_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_refugees) came from Russia, escaping the frequent _pogroms_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pogrom) and state-led persecution. They founded a number of agricultural settlements with financial support from Jewish philanthropists in Western Europe. Further Aliyahs followed the _Russian Revolution_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Revolution_(1917)) and _Nazi_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi) persecution. However, at the end of the 19th century, Jews still were a minority in Palestina. In the 1890s, _Theodor Herzl_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodor_Herzl) infused Zionism with a new _ideology_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Judenstaat) and practical urgency, leading to the _First Zionist Congress_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Zionist_Congress) at _Basel_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basel) in 1897, which created the _World Zionist Organization_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Zionist_Organization) (WZO)._[46]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-46) Herzl's _aim_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Zionist_Congress#Basel_program) was to initiate necessary preparatory steps for the attainment of a Jewish state. Herzl's attempts to reach a political agreement with the _Ottoman_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Empire) rulers of Palestine were unsuccessful and other governmental support was sought. The WZO supported small-scale settlement in Palestine and focused on strengthening Jewish feeling and consciousness and on building a worldwide federation. The Russian Empire, with its long record of state organized genocide and ethnic cleansing ("pogroms") was widely regarded as the historic enemy of the Jewish people. As much of its leadership were German speakers, the Zionist movement's headquarters were located in Berlin. At the start of World War I, most Jews (and Zionists) supported Germany in its war with Russia. The Balfour Declaration and the Palestine Mandate In 1903, the Zionist congress declined an offer by the British to establish a homeland in Uganda. Lobbying by a Russian Jewish immigrant, _Chaim Weizmann_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaim_Weizmann) and fear that _American Jews_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Jews) would encourage the USA to support Germany culminated in the British government's _Balfour Declaration_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balfour_Declaration) of 1917, which endorsed the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine, as follows: His Majesty's government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country._[47]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-47) In 1922, the _League of Nations_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_Nations) adopted the declaration, and granted to Britain the _Palestine Mandate_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Mandate_of_Palestine) : The Mandate will secure the establishment of the Jewish national home ... and the development of self-governing institutions, and also safeguard the civil and religious rights of all the inhabitants of Palestine, irrespective of race and religion._[48]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-48) Weizmann's role in obtaining the Balfour Declaration led to his election as the movement's leader. He remained in that role until 1948 and then became the first _President of Israel_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_Israel) . Jewish migration to Palestine and widespread Jewish land purchases from feudal[_citation needed_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed) ] landlords led to landlessness among Palestinian Arabs and fueled unrest. There were riots in _1920_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1920_Nebi_Musa_riots) , _1921_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaffa_riots) and _1929_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1929_Palestine_riots) , in which both Jews and Arabs were killed._[49]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-BBC-49) Britain was responsible for the Palestinian mandate and, after the Balfour Declaration, it supported Jewish immigration in principle, but in reaction to the violent events that followed, the _Peel Commission_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peel_Commission) published a report proposing new provisions and restrictions.

(March 2013) In 1933, _Hitler_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler) came to power in Germany, and in 1935 the _Nuremberg Laws_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_Laws) made German Jews (and later _Austrian_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anschluss) and _Czech Jews_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_Jews) ) stateless refugees. Similar rules were applied by the many _Nazi allies_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis_powers) in Europe. The subsequent growth in Jewish migration and impact of _Nazi propaganda_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_propaganda) aimed at the Arab world led to the _1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1936– 1939_Arab_revolt_in_Palestine) . Britain established the _Peel Commission_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peel_Commission) to investigate the situation. The commission did not consider the situation of Jews in Europe, but called for a two-state solution and compulsory _transfer of populations_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_transfer) . Britain rejected this solution and instead implemented _White Paper of 1939_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Paper_of_1939) . This planned to end Jewish immigration by 1944 and to allow no more than 75,000 further Jewish migrants. This was disastrous to European Jews already being gravely discriminated against and in need of a place to seek refuge. The British maintained this policy until the end of the Mandate. Growth of the Jewish community in Palestine and devastation of European Jewish life sidelined the World Zionist Organization. The Jewish Agency for Palestine under the leadership of _David Ben-Gurion_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Ben-Gurion) increasingly dictated policy with support from American Zionists who provided funding and influence in Washington, D.C., including via the highly effective _American Palestine Committee_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Palestine_Committee) .

During World War II, as the horrors of _the Holocaust_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust) became known, the Zionist leadership formulated the _One Million Plan_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Million_Plan) , a reduction from Ben-Gurion's previous target of two million immigrants. Following the end of the war, a massive wave of _stateless Jews_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sh'erit_ha-Pletah) , mainly _Holocaust survivors_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_survivors) , began _migrating to Palestine_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliyah_Bet) in small boats in defiance of British rules. The Holocaust united much of the rest of world Jewry behind the Zionist project._[50]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-miracle-50) The British either _imprisoned these Jews in Cyprus_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyprus_internment_camps) (including many orphaned children) or _sent them_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Exodus) to the British-controlled _Allied Occupation Zones in Germany_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allied_Occupation_Zones_in_Germany) . This resulted in universal Jewish support for Zionism and the refusal of the U.S. Congress to grant economic aid to Britain. In addition, Zionist groups _attacked the British in Palestine_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British–Zionist_conflict) and, with its empire facing bankruptcy, Britain was forced to refer the issue to the newly created United Nations. Post-WWII In 1947, the _United Nations Special Committee on Palestine_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Special_Committee_on_Palestine) (UNSCOP) recommended that western Palestine should be partitioned into a Jewish state, an Arab state and a _UN-controlled territory, Corpus separatum, around Jerusalem_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_separatum_(Jerusalem)) ._[51]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-51) This _partition plan_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Partition_Plan_for_Palestine) was adopted on November 29, 1947 with _UN GA Resolution 181_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Partition_Plan_for_Palestine) , 33 votes in favor, 13 against, and 10 abstentions. The vote led to celebrations in the streets of Jewish cities._[52]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-52) However, the Palestinian Arabs and the Arab states rejected the UN decision, demanding a single state and removal of Jewish migrants, leading to the _1948 Arab–Israeli War_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_Arab– Israeli_War) . On May 14, 1948, at the end of the _British mandate_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Mandate_of_Palestine) , the Jewish Agency, led by _David Ben-Gurion_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Ben-Gurion) , declared the creation of the State of Israel, and the same day the armies of seven _Arab countries invaded Israel_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_Arab– Israeli_War) .

Later, _a series of laws_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_and_Property_laws_in_Israel#The_.27Absentees_Property_Law.27) passed by the first Israeli government prevented Palestinians from returning to their homes, or claiming their property.

It has provided political support for Israel in other countries but plays little role in internal Israeli politics. The movement's major success since 1948 was in providing logistical support for migrating Jews and, most importantly, in assisting _Soviet Jews_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Jews) in their struggle with the authorities over the right to leave the _USSR_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USSR) and to practice their religion in freedom, and the _exodus of 850,000 Jews_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_exodus_from_Arab_lands) from the Arab world, mostly to Israel. In 1944-45, Ben-Gurion described the _One Million Plan_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Million_Plan) to foreign officials as being the "primary goal and top priority of the Zionist movement."_[61]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHacohen1991262_.232-61) The immigration restrictions of the British _White Paper of 1939_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Paper_of_1939) meant that such a plan was not able to be put into large scale effect until the _Israeli Declaration of Independence_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_Declaration_of_Independence) in May 1948. The new country's immigration policy had some opposition within the new Israeli government, such as those who argued that there was "no justification for organizing large-scale emigration among Jews whose lives were not in danger, particularly when the desire and motivation were not their own"_[62]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHakohen200346-62) as well as those who argued that the absorption process caused "undue hardship"._[63]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHakohen2003246-247-63) However, the force of Ben-Gurion's influence and insistence ensured that his immigration policy was carried out._[64]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHakohen200347-64) _[65]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHakohen2003247-65) Non-Jewish support for Zionism Political support for the Jewish return to the Land of Israel predates the formal organization of Jewish Zionism as a political movement. In the 19th century, advocates of the _Restoration of the Jews to the Holy Land_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restoration_of_the_Jews_to_the_Holy_Land) were called Restorationists. The return of the Jews to the Holy Land was widely supported by such eminent figures as _Queen Victoria_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Victoria) , _Napoleon Bonaparte_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_Bonaparte) ,_[66]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-66) _King Edward VII_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Edward_VII) , President _John Adams_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Adams) of the United States, _General Smuts_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Smuts) of South Africa, _President Masaryk_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomáš _Garrigue_Masaryk) of _Czechoslovakia_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czechoslovakia) , philosopher and historian _Benedetto Croce_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benedetto_Croce) from Italy, _Henry Dunant_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Dunant) (founder of the _Red Cross_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Cross) and author of the _Geneva Conventions_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva_Conventions) ), and scientist and humanitarian _Fridtjof Nansen_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fridtjof_Nansen) from _Norway_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norway) . The French government through Minister M. Cambon formally committed itself to "... the renaissance of the Jewish nationality in that Land from which the people of Israel were exiled so many centuries ago." In China, top figures of the _Nationalist government_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuomintang) , including _Sun Yat-sen_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Yat-sen) , expressed their sympathy with the aspirations of the Jewish people for a National Home._[67]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-67) Christians supporting Zionism Main article: _Christian Zionism_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Zionism) Some Christians have actively supported the return of Jews to Palestine even prior to Zionism, as well as subsequently. Anita Shapira, a history professor emerita at Tel Aviv University, suggests that evangelical Christian restorationists of the 1840s 'passed this notion on to Jewish circles'._[68]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-shapira-68) It was common among the Puritans to anticipate and frequently pray for a Jewish return to their homeland._[69]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-69) One of the principal Protestant teachers who promoted the biblical doctrine that the Jews would return to their national homeland was _John Nelson Darby_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Nelson_Darby) .

Pro-Zionist views were embraced by many evangelicals and also affected international foreign policy. Notable early supporters of Zionism include British Prime Ministers _David Lloyd George_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Lloyd_George) and _Arthur Balfour_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Balfour) , American President _Woodrow Wilson_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodrow_Wilson) and British _Major-General_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major-general_(United_Kingdom)) _Orde Wingate_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orde_Wingate) , whose activities in support of Zionism led the British Army to ban him from ever serving in Palestine. According to Charles Merkley of Carleton University, Christian Zionism strengthened significantly after the _Six-Day War_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-Day_War) of 1967, and many _dispensationalist_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispensationalism) and non-dispensationalist evangelical Christians, especially in the United States, now strongly support Zionism. The founder of _Latter Day Saint movement_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latter_Day_Saint_movement) , _Joseph Smith, Jr._ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Smith,_Jr.) , in his last years alive, declared "the time for Jews to return to the land of Israel is now."

Ha Kivshbnim Maashimim' ('The Holocaust Victims Accuse'), serves as an attempt to show, by means of testimonies., documents and reports, how Zionism and its high-level organizations brought a catastrophe upon our people during the era of the Nazi holocaust." Catholic Church and Zionism The initial response of the Catholic Church seemed to be one of strong opposition to Zionism. Shortly after the 1897 Basel Conference, the semi-official Vatican periodical (edited by the Jesuits) _Civilta Cattolica_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilta_Cattolica) gave its biblical-theological judgement on political Zionism: "1827 years have passed since the prediction of Jesus of Nazareth was fulfilled ... that [after the destruction of Jerusalem] the Jews would be led away to be slaves among all the nations and that they would remain in the dispersion [diaspora, galut] until the end of the world." The Jews should not be permitted to return to Palestine with sovereignty: "According to the Sacred Scriptures, the Jewish people must always live dispersed and vagabondo [vagrant, wandering] among the other nations, so that they may render witness to Christ not only by the Scriptures ... but by their very existence". Nonetheless, Theodore Herzl travelled to Rome in late January 1904, after the sixth Zionist Congress (August 1903) and six months before his death, looking for some kind of support. In January 22, Herzl first met the Secretary of State, Cardinal _Rafael Merry del Val_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafael_Merry_del_Val) . According to Herzl's private diary notes, the Cardinal agreed on the history of Israel being the same as the one of the Catholic Church, but asked beforehand for a conversion of Jews to Catholicism. Three days later, Herzl met Pope _Pius X_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pius_X) , who replied to his request of support for a Jewish return to Israel in the same terms, saying that "we are unable to favor this movement. We cannot prevent the Jews going to Jerusalem, but we could never sanction it ... The Jews have not recognized our Lord, therefore we cannot recognize the Jewish people." In 1922, the same periodical published a piece by its Viennese correspondent, "anti-Semitism is nothing but the absolutely necessary and natural reaction to the Jews' arrogance...Catholic anti-Semitism - while never going beyond the moral law - adopts all necessary means to emancipate the Christian people from the abuse they suffer from their sworn enemy"._[102]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-Kertzer-102) This initial attitude changed over the next 50 years, until 1997, when at the _Vatican_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_See) symposium of that year, Pope _John Paul II_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Paul_II) rejected the Christian roots of anti-Semitism, expressing that "... the wrong and unjust interpretations of the New Testament relating to the Jewish people and their supposed guilt [in Christ's death] circulated for too long, engendering sentiments of hostility toward this people."_[103]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-103) Characterization as colonialism or ethnic cleansing Zionism has been characterized as _colonialism_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonialism) , and Zionism has been _criticized_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Zionism) for promoting unfair confiscation of land, involving the expulsion of, and causing violence towards, the Palestinians.

This is another area in which we shall set the entire world a wonderful example … Should there be many such immovable owners in individual areas [who would not sell their property to us], we shall simply leave them there and develop our commerce in the direction of other areas which belong to us."_[109]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-109) _[110]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-110) _Derek Penslar_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Penslar) says that Herzl may have been considering either South America or Palestine when he wrote the diary entry about expropriation._[111]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-111) According to Walter Laquer, although many Zionists proposed transfer, it was never official Zionist policy and in 1918 Ben-Gurion "emphatically rejected" it._[112]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-112) _Ilan Pappe_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilan_Pappe) argued that Zionism results in _ethnic cleansing_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_cleansing) ._[113]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-113) This view diverges from other _New Historians_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Historians) , such as _Benny Morris_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benny_Morris) , who accept the _Palestinian exodus_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_Palestinian_exodus) narrative but place it in the context of war, not ethnic cleansing._[114]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-114) _Saleh Abdel Jawad_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saleh_Abdel_Jawad) , _Nur Masalha_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nur_Masalha) , _Michael Prior_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Prior_(theologian)) , _Ian Lustick_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Lustick) , and _John Rose_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rose_(UK_politician)) have criticized Zionism for having been responsible for violence against Palestinians, such as the _Deir Yassin massacre_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deir_Yassin_massacre) , _Sabra and Shatila massacre_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabra_and_Shatila_massacre) , and _Cave of the Patriarchs massacre_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_of_the_Patriarchs_massacre) ._[115]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-115) In 1938, _Mahatma Gandhi_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi) rejected Zionism, saying that the establishment of a Jewish national home in Palestine is a religious act and therefore must not be performed by force. He wrote, "Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs ... Surely it would be a crime against humanity to reduce the proud Arabs so that Palestine can be restored to the Jews partly or wholly as their national home ...

According to historian _Avi Shlaim_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avi_Shlaim) , throughout its history up to present day, Zionism "is replete with manifestations of deep hostility and contempt towards the indigenous population." Shlaim balances this by pointing out that there have always been individuals within the Zionist movement that have criticized such attitudes. He cites the example of _Ahad Ha'am_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahad_Ha'am) , who after visiting Palestine in 1891, published a series of articles criticizing the aggressive behaviour and political ethnocentrism of Zionist settlers. Ha'am wrote that the Zionists "behave towards the Arabs with hostility and cruelty, trespass unjustly upon their boundaries, beat them shamefully without reason and even brag about it, and nobody stands to check this contemptible and dangerous tendency" and that they believed that "the only language that the Arabs understand is that of force."_[119]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-LRB-119) Some criticisms of Zionism claim that Judaism's notion of the "_chosen people_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews_as_a_chosen_people) " is the source of racism in Zionism,_[120]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-120) despite, according to _Gustavo Perednik_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustavo_Perednik) , that being a religious concept unrelated to Zionism._[121]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-121) In December 1973, the UN passed a series of resolutions condemning South Africa and included a reference to an "unholy alliance between _Portuguese colonialism_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_Colonial_War) , _Apartheid_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apartheid) and Zionism."_[122]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-122) At the time there was little cooperation between _Israel and South Africa_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_–_South_Africa_relations) ,_[123]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-123) although the two countries would develop a close relationship during the 1970s._[124]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-124) Parallels have also been drawn between aspects of South Africa's apartheid regime and certain Israeli policies toward the Palestinians, which are seen as manifestations of racism in Zionist thinking._[125]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-125) _[126]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-126) _[127]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-127) In 1975 the _UN General Assembly_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UN_General_Assembly) passed _Resolution 3379_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolution_3379) , which said "Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination". According to the resolution, "any doctrine of racial differentiation of superiority is scientifically false, morally condemnable, socially unjust, and dangerous." The resolution named the occupied territory of Palestine, Zimbabwe, and South Africa as examples of racist regimes.

The great wave of immigration in 1948 did not occur spontaneously: it was the result of a clear-cut foreign policy decision that taxed the country financially and necessitated a major organizational effort. Many absorption activists, Jewish Agency executives, and government officials opposed unlimited, nonselective immigration; they favored a gradual process geared to the country's absorptive capacity. Throughout this period, two charges resurfaced at every public debate: one, that the absorption process caused undue hardship; two, that Israel's immigration policy was misguided." 64. _Jump up ^_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEHakohen200347_64-0) _Hakohen 2003_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#CITEREFHakohen2003) , p. 47: "But as head of the government, entrusted with choosing the cabinet and steering its activities, Ben-Gurion had tremendous power over the country's social development. His prestige soared to new heights after the founding of the state and the impressive victory of the IDF in the War of Independence. As prime minister and minister of defense in Israel's first administration, as well as the uncontested leader of the country's largest political party, his opinions carried enormous weight. Thus, despite resistance from some of his cabinet members, he remained unflagging in his enthusiasm for unrestricted mass immigration and resolved to put this policy into effect." 65. _Jump up ^_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEHakohen2003247_65-0) _Hakohen 2003_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#CITEREFHakohen2003) , p. 247: "On several occasions, resolutions were passed to limit immigration from European and Arab countries alike. However, these limits were never put into practice, mainly due to the opposition of Ben-Gurion. As a driving force in the emergency of the state, Ben-Gurion— both prime minister and minister of defense—carried enormous weight with his veto. His insistence on the right of every Jew to immigrate proved victorious. He would not allow himself to be swayed by financial or other considerations. It was he who orchestrated the large-scale action that enabled the Jews to leave Eastern Europe and Islamic countries, and it was he who effectively forged Israel's foreign policy. Through a series of clandestine activities carried out overseas by the Foreign Office, the Jewish Agency, the Mossad le-Aliyah, and the Joint Distribution Committee, the road was paved for mass immigration." 66. _Jump up ^_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_ref-66) http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/herzl-hinted-at-napoleon-s-zionist-pas t-1.120723 Herzl hinted at Napoleon's 'Zionist past' 67. _Jump up ^_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_ref-67) Goldstein, Jonathan (1999), "The Republic of China and Israel", in Goldstein, Jonathan, China and Israel, 1948–1998: A Fifty Year Retrospective, Westport, Conn. and London: Praeger, pp. 1–39 68. _Jump up ^_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_ref-shapira_68-0) Shapira, Anita (2014).

For example, the speeches and letter of Chaim Weizman, the secular Zionist leader, are filled with references to the biblical origins of the Jewish claim to Palestine, which he often mixes liberally with more pragmatic and nationalistic claims. By the use of this premise, embraced in 1937, Zionists alleged that the Palestinians were usurpers in the Promised Land, and therefore their expulsion and death was justified. The Jewish-American writer Dan Kurzman, in his book Genesis 1948 … describes the view of one of the Deir Yassin's killers: 'The Sternists followed the instructions of the Bible more rigidly than others. They honored the passage (Exodus 22:2): 'If a thief be found …' This meant, of course, that killing a thief was not really murder.

But that no longer suffices. It is now necessary to identify _criticism of Israeli_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Israel) policies as anti-Semitism — or in the case of Jews, as "self-hatred," so that all possible cases are covered." — Chomsky, 1989 "Necessary Illusions". * Philosopher _Michael Marder_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Marder) argues: "To deconstruct Zionism is ... to demand justice for its victims - not only for the Palestinians, who are suffering from it, but also for the anti-Zionist Jews, "erased" from the officially consecrated account of Zionist history. By deconstructing its ideology, we shed light on the context it strives to repress and on the violence it legitimises with a mix of theological or metaphysical reasoning and affective appeals to historical guilt for the undeniably horrific persecution of Jewish people in Europe and elsewhere."_[1]_ (http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2013/12/here-why-deconstructing-zionism-important-201312863538927197.html) _[2]_ (http://www.amazon.com/Deconstructing-Zionism-Metaphysics-Contemporary-Philosophy/d p/1441105948/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1383853271) * American political scientist _Norman Finkelstein_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Finkelstein) argues that anti-Zionism and often just _criticism of Israeli_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Israel) policies have been conflated with antisemitism, sometimes called _new antisemitism_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_antisemitism) for political gain: "Whenever Israel faces a public relations débâcle such as the Intifada or international pressure to resolve the Israel-Palestine conflict, American Jewish organizations orchestrate this extravaganza called the 'new anti-Semitism.' The purpose is several-fold. First, it is to discredit any charges by claiming the person is an anti-Semite. It's to turn Jews into the victims, so that the victims are not the Palestinians any longer. As people like Abraham Foxman of the ADL put it, the Jews are being threatened by a new holocaust. It's a role reversal — the Jews are now the victims, not the Palestinians. So it serves the function of discrediting the people leveling the charge. It's no longer Israel that needs to leave the Occupied Territories; it's the Arabs who need to free themselves of the anti-Semitism. — http://www.zmag.org/znet/viewArticle/5104 * _Tariq Ali_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariq_Ali) , a British-Pakistani historian and political activist, argues that the concept of new antisemitism amounts to an attempt to subvert the language in the interests of the State of Israel. He writes that the campaign against "the supposed new 'anti-semitism'" in modern Europe is a "cynical ploy on the part of the Israeli Government to seal off the Zionist state from any criticism of its regular and consistent brutality against the Palestinians ... _Criticism of Israel_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Israel) can not and should not be equated with anti-semitism." He argues that most pro-Palestinian, anti-Zionist groups that emerged after the _Six-Day War_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-Day_War) were careful to observe the distinction between anti-Zionism and antisemitism. — _Ali, Tariq_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariq_Ali) . _"Notes on Anti-Semitism, Zionism and Palestine"_ (http://www.counterpunch.org/ali03042004.html) , Counterpunch, March 4, 2004, first published in il manifesto, February 26, 2004.
