ZIONISM: The Forgotten Apartheid page 15 Zron-ism n. : An organized mvemen of world Jewry that arose in Europe in the late 19th century with the .'aim of reconstituting a Jewish state in Palestine. Modern Zionism is concerned with the development and uppo i i of the state of " I r u I." American Heritage Dictionary, Third Edition

Zionism emerged in response to rising anti-Semitism as a politically secular movement declaring an incom- patibility between Jews and other nations, and that anti-Semitism was unavoidable; it went further to catego- rizing Jews as a nation/race, therefore making Jews as people of their nation, "Israel," instead of their respec- tive countries. From this, the need for a homeland arose. Most Jews and others were deceived by Xiom ;m ; stated overt purpose: to make a homeland for the persecuted Jews. Very few realized that this entailed making another people homeless since Palestine was inhabited. Therefore, to perpetuate the deception, it was neces- sary for the Zionists to make up myths, such as the land was empty and that the Palestinians "didn't exist," or that there were people there, but they left willfully in 1948 at the suggestion of Arab leaders. Another popular excuse was that the Palestinians existed but were backwards people with a stagnant culture and ionism* brought to them progress and prosperity (similar to the arguments made by all colonialists). To hide its colo- nialist nature, the Zionlsis employed "sugar-coating" euphemisms, the most famous of which was that the Jews were returning home, blurring the difference between Judaism the religion, and Zionism the political movement. They defined Jews as a nation, ultimately leading to the Great Displacement of the Palestinian people.

This special edition magazine is meant to give the reader a brief understanding of Zionism and its effects. There are a great number of books on the subject as well. We encourage our readers to refer to these, as well as other books.
