Zionism (_Hebrew_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_language) : 
צִיּוֹנוּת, _translit._ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Hebrew)   
Tsiyonoot) is a _nationalist_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalist)  
movement of _Jews_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews)  and _Jewish  culture_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_culture)  that supports the creation 
of a _Jewish homeland_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_homeland)  in the 
 territory defined as the _Land of Israel_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_of_Israel) ._[1]_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMotyl2001604.-1)   A 
religious variety of Zionism supports Jews upholding 
their Jewish identity,  opposes the assimilation of Jews into other societies 
and has advocated the _return_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliyah)  of 
Jews to _Israel_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel)  as a means  for Jews 
to be a majority in their own nation, and to be liberated from _antisemitic_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism)  discrimination,  exclusion, and 
_persecution_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Jews)  that had  
historically occurred in the _diaspora_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_diaspora) ._[1]_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMotyl2001604.-1)   
Zionism emerged in the late 19th century in central and 
eastern Europe as a  national revival movement, and soon after this most 
leaders of the movement  associated the main goal with creating the desired 
state 
in _Palestine_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine) , then an area  
controlled by the _Ottoman Empire_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Empire) ._[2]_

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-JGelvin-3) _[4]_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-4)   Since the establishment of 
the _State 
of Israel_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_Israel) , the  Zionist 
movement continues primarily to advocate on behalf of Israel and address  
threats to its continued existence and security. In a less common usage, the  
term may also refer to non-political, _cultural Zionism_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Zionism) ,  founded and represented most 
prominently by 
_Ahad Ha'am_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahad_Ha'am) ; and political  
support for the _State of Israel_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_Israel)  
by  non-Jews, as in _Christian Zionism_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Zionism) . 
Defenders of Zionism say it is a _national  liberation movement_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_liberation_movement)  for the 
repatriation of a 
dispersed socio-religious  group to what they see as an abandoned homeland 
millennia before._[5]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-5)

Overview
Main article: _Types of Zionism_ 
(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

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. 
Zionism and Haredi  Judaism

This section needs  additional citations for _verification_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability) .  Please help _improve  
this 
article_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Zionism&action=edit)  by 
_adding  citations to reliable sources_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:
Introduction_to_referencing/1) . Unsourced material may be challenged  and 
removed. (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_

Zionism was established with the goal of creating a Jewish state. 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.

Since the first centuries CE most Jews have lived outside _Land  of Israel_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_of_Israel)  (Eretz Israel, better known 
as _Palestine_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine)  by non-Jews),  
although there has been a constant presence of Jews. 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. He hoped to 
"prevent any attempts being 
made to take advantage of the  necessities of our poor brethren ... (that 
would) ... 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.

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) . The conflict led to an _exodus_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_Palestinian_exodus)  of about  711,000 
_Palestinian  Arabs_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_people) ,_[53]_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-53)   known in Arabic as 
al-Nakba ("the Catastrophe"). 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. They and many of  their descendants remain _refugees_

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-UNRWA-55)   The flight and

Since the creation of the State of Israel, the _World Zionist  
Organization_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Zionist_Organization)  has 
functioned 
mainly as an organization dedicated to assisting  and encouraging Jews to 
migrate to Israel. 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]_

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]_

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]_

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) . His  doctrine of 
_dispensationalism_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispensationalism)  is  
credited with promoting Zionism, following his 11 lectures on the hopes of the  
church, the Jew and the gentile given in Geneva in 1840._[70]_

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-74)   were among a number of 
prominent 
proponents of both the importance and  significance of a Jewish return, who 
were not dispensationalist. 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/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.

Zionist success in winning British support for formation of a Jewish 
National  Home in Palestine helped to inspire the Jamaican nationalist _Marcus  
Garvey_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Garvey)  to form a movement 
dedicated to returning Americans of African origin  to Africa. During a speech 
in 
_Harlem_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlem)  in 1920, Garvey stated:  
"other races were engaged in seeing their cause through—the Jews through their 
 Zionist movement and the Irish through their Irish movement—and I decided 
that,  cost what it might, I would make this a favorable time to see the 
Negro's  interest through."_[94]_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-94)   Garvey established a 
shipping company, the _Black Star Line_

emigrate to Africa, but for various reasons failed in  his endeavour. 
Garvey helped inspire the _Rastafari movement_

Zionism is opposed by a wide variety of organizations and individuals. 
Among  those opposing Zionism are some secular Jews,_[96]_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-96)   some branches of Judaism 
(_Satmar_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satmar_(Hasidic_dynasty))  Hasidim  and _Neturei 
Karta_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neturei_Karta) ), the former  Soviet

African-Americans,_[98]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-98)   
many in 
the Muslim world, and Palestinians. Reasons for opposing Zionism are  
varied, and include the perceptions of unfair land confiscation, expulsions of  
Palestinians, violence against Palestinians, and alleged racism. Arab states 
in  particular strongly oppose Zionism, which they believe is responsible for 
the _1948 Palestinian  exodus_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_Palestinian_exodus) . The preamble of the 
_African  Charter on Human and Peoples' 
Rights_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Charter_on_Human_and_Peoples'_Rights) , 
which has been ratified by 53 African  countries as of 2014, includes 
an undertaking to eliminate Zionism together with  other practices 
including _colonialism_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonialism) , 
_neo-colonialism_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-colonialism) , _apartheid_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apartheid) ,  "aggressive foreign military bases"

forms of _discrimination_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrimination) 
._[99]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-99) _[100]_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-100)  
Zionism had also been opposed by some Jews for other reasons even before 
the  establishment of the state of Israel because "Zionism constitutes a 
danger,  spiritual and physical, to the existence of our people.'."._[101]_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-101)   The book also states 
"The 
booklet which we are publishing here, 'Serufay. 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]_

Characterization as  colonialism or ethnic cleansing
Zionism has been characterized as _colonialism_

contending with the Palestinian one._[104]_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-104)   _David  Hoffman_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hoffman)  rejected the claim that Zionism

_Edward  Said_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Said)  and _Michael

the notion of expelling the Palestinians was an early component of  Zionism, 
citing Herzl's diary from 1895 which states "we shall endeavour to  expel 
the poor population across the border unnoticed — the process of  
expropriation and the removal of the poor must be carried out discreetly and  
circumspectly."_[107]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-107)   
This 
quotation has been critiqued by _Efraim Karsh_

purpose._[108]_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-108)   He describes it as "a 
feature of 
Palestinian propaganda", writing that Herzl was  referring to the voluntary 
resettlement of squatters living on land purchased by  Jews, and that the full 
diary entry stated, "It goes without saying that we  shall respectfully 
tolerate persons of other faiths and protect their property,  their honor, and 
their freedom with the harshest means of coercion. 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]_

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

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benny_Morris) , who accept the _Palestinian

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 ... They can settle in Palestine only 
by the goodwill  of the Arabs. They should seek to convert the Arab 
heart."_[116]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-116)

and 
_Israel and  the apartheid analogy_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_and_the_apartheid_analogy) 
David Ben-Gurion stated that "There will be no discrimination among 
citizens  of the Jewish state on the basis of race, religion, sex, or 
class."_[117]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-117)   Likewise, 
Vladimir 
Jabotinsky avowed "the minority will not be rendered  defenseless...[the] 
aim of democracy is to guarantee that the minority too has  influence on 
matters of state policy."_[118]_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-118)  
However, critics of Zionism consider it a _colonialist_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonialism) _[8]_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-CHARCOL-8)   or _racist_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism) _[9]_

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]_

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

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. Resolution 3379 
was pioneered by the Soviet Union  and passed with numerical support from Arab 
and African states amidst  accusations that Israel was supportive of the 
apartheid regime in South  Africa._[128]_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-128)   The resolution was 
robustly criticised by the US 
representative, _Daniel Patrick  Moynihan_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Patrick_Moynihan)  as an 'obscenity' and a 
'harm ...done to the United 
Nations'._[129]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-moyn-129)   
'In 1991

resolution were revoked._[131]_

   “ “The  United States ...does not acknowledge, it will not abide by, it

form of  racism. The overwhelmingly clear truth is that it is not.” _Daniel 
Patrick  Moynihan_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Patrick_Moynihan) , 
speaking in the UN General Assembly after Resolution 3379  was passed, 
1975._[129]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-moyn-129)  ” 
Arab countries sought to associate Zionism with racism in connection with a 
 _2001 UN  conference on racism_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Conference_against_Racism_2001) , which 
took place in _Durban_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durban) , South Africa,_[132]_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-132)   which caused the United 
States and Israel to walk away 
from the conference as a  response. The final text of the conference did not 
connect Zionism with racism.  A human rights forum arranged in connection 
with the conference, on the other  hand, did equate Zionism with racism and 
censured Israel for what it called  "racist crimes, including acts of 
genocide and ethnic cleansing"._[133]_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-133)  
Some supporters of Zionism, such as _Chaim Herzog_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaim_Herzog) , argue that  the movement is 
non-discriminatory and 
contains no racist aspects._[134]_ (http://en.wik

the more extreme fringes often overlaps with  antisemitism._[138]_

Some anti-semites have alleged that Zionism was, or is, part of a Jewish 
plot  to take control of the world._[142]_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-142)   One particular version 
of these allegations, "_The  
Protocols of the Elders of Zion_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Protocols_of_the_Elders_of_Zion) " (subtitle 
"Protocols extracted from the  secret 
archives of the central chancery of Zion") achieved global notability.  The 
protocols are fictional minutes of an imaginary meeting by Jewish leaders of  
this 
plot. Analysis and proof of their fraudulent origin goes as far back as  
1921._[143]_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-143)   A 1920 
German version renamed them "_The Zionist  Protocols_

There are examples of anti-Zionists using accusations, slanders, imagery 
and  tactics previously associated with anti-semites. On October 21, 1973,  
then-Soviet ambassador to the United Nations _Yakov Malik_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakov_Malik)  declared: "The  Zionists have come 
forth with the 
theory of the _Chosen  People_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chosen_People) , 
an absurd ideology." Similarly, an exhibit about Zionism and Israel  in the 
Museum of Religion and Atheism in _Saint Petersburg_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Petersburg)   designates the following as 
Soviet Zionist 
material: Jewish _prayer shawls_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tallit) , 
_tefillin_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tefillin)  and  _Passover_

This  meant bringing in 600,000 immigrants in a four-year period. or 150,000

facing  the new state was a heavy burden indeed. Opponents in the Jewish

were not

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#CITEREFHakohen2003) , p. 246-247: "Both 
the immigrants' dependence and 
the  circumstances of their arrival shaped the attitude of the host society. 
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."

_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."

_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."

".. the Zionist movement, which claims to be secular, found it necessary  
to embrace the idea of 'the promised land' of Old Testament prophecy, to  
justify the confiscation of land and the expulsion of the Palestinians. 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. 
And were not the enemies of Zionism thieves, who  wanted to steal from the 
Jews what God had granted them?'

coexistence which has developed; to the fact that Arabic is an official

an 
Arab to serve in public office in Israel as it is incongruous to think of a 
 Jew serving in any public office in an Arab country, indeed being admitted

    *   Professor _Noam Chomsky_ 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noam_Chomsky)  argues:  "There have long been 
efforts to identify anti-Semitism and 
anti-Zionism in  an effort to exploit anti-racist sentiment for political ends; 
"one of the  chief tasks of any dialogue with the Gentile world is to prove 
that the  distinction between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism is not a 
distinction at  all," Israeli diplomat Abba Eban argued, in a typical 
expression 
of this  intellectually and morally disreputable position (Eban, Congress 
Bi-Weekly,  March 30, 1973). 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

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]_

    *   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_
