Cloth $39.95. ISBN 9780815632597. Zionism as a national movement sought to unite a dispersed people under a single conception of political sovereignty, with shared symbols of flag, anthem and language. Irrespective of where Jews had found a home during 2500 years of (at least symbolic) nomadic wandering, as guests in other lands, they would now return to their ancient homeland. For such an enterprise to succeed, a degree of homogenisation was required, where differences would be erased in favour of shared commonalities. These universalised conceptions for the new Jew were debated, explored, and decided upon by the leaders of the movement whose ideas were shaped by European theories of nationalism. From the beginning of the Zionist movement in the late nineteenth century and its territorialisation in Palestine, Jews faced the challenge of looking towards Europe socially and intellectually, while simultaneously attempting to situate themselves economically and physically within the landscape of the Middle East. This hybridity can be seen in a self-portrait by Shimon Korbman, a photographer working in Tel Aviv in the 1920s: Sitting on a small stool on the sand next to the sea, he faces the camera, dressed in his white tropical summer suit, an Arabic water pipe – Nargila –in his hand.

Contesting Israel’s exceptionalist security narrative, it identifies, through an extensive examination of the writings of Theodor Herzl, the overlapping settler colonialist and ethno-nationalist roots of Zionism. In doing so, it contextualises Herzl’s movement as a hegemonic political force that embraced the dominant European discourses of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including anti-Semitism. The thesis is also concerned with the ways in which these ideological foundations came to bear on the Palestinian and broader Ottoman contexts.

  • History of Zionism 1 History of Zionism
    History of Zionism 1 History of Zionism Zionism as an organized movement is generally considered to have been fathered by Theodor Herzl in 1897; however the history of Zionism began earlier and related to Judaism and Jewish history. The Hovevei Zion, or the Lovers of Zion, were responsible for the creation of 20 new Jewish settlements in Palestine between 1870 and 1897.[1] Before the Holocaust the movement's central aims were the creation of a Jewish National Home and cultural centre in Palestine by facilitating Jewish migration. After the Holocaust, the movement focussed on creation of a "Jewish state" (usually defined as a secular state with a Jewish majority), attaining its goal in 1948 with the creation of Israel. Since the creation of Israel, the importance of the Zionist movement as an organization has declined, as the Israeli state has grown stronger.[2] The Zionist movement continues to exist, working to support Israel, assist persecuted Jews and encourage Jewish emigration to Israel. While most Israeli political parties continue to define themselves as Zionist, modern Israeli political thought is no longer formulated within the Zionist movement. The success of Zionism has meant that the percentage of the world's Jewish population who live in Israel has steadily grown over the years and today 40% of the world's Jews live in Israel. There is no other example in human history of a "nation" being restored after such a long period of existence as a Diaspora. Background: The historic and religious origins of Zionism Biblical precedents The precedence for Jews to return to their ancestral homeland, motivated by strong divine intervention, first appears in the Torah, and thus later adopted in the Christian Old Testament.

It introduces three tree donation tech- niques used by Israel, then proceeds to discuss the meaning of nature in Israel, as well as the meaning of planting and rooting in the con- text of the Zionist project. The article concludes by reflecting on the ways that pine trees absent Palestinian presence and memory from the landscape, and explains how Palestinian acts of aggression to- ward these pine landscapes relate to the Israel/Palestinerelationship.

  • YK Evening 2019 5780 Love of Israel Sermon
    Rabbi Mark Cohn Yom Kippur Evening 2019 / 5780 Love of Israel Love. Remember the idea? A quick refresher from Rosh HaShanah. Love is not about some romantic dreamy vision of life with hearts and bottles of wine. Love as we understand from the Torah is about commitment, covenant, obligation, loyalty. When I spoke on Rosh HaShanah about the love of earth and the love of our community - I spoke about our need to serve and to respect, to honor and work out of obligation - even (or especially) sacrificing part of ourselves for the greater good, recognizing the benefit we gain by committing ourselves to the larger whole. And it is with THAT idea in mind for which I say: I love Israel. I love both the Land of Israel and the State of Israel. That is probably not a shock to anyone here. I love the terrain: the hard rocks in the Judaean hills that have been made into agricultural terraces for millennia, the volcanic rock of the Golan, the ubiquitous wildflowers in the desert beginning in middle of winter. I love my friends and relatives there. I love the feeling of being in a land and a state where Jews are the majority. I love being in a land that our people have lived in, held in our prayers, and calendared our holidays by for over 3,000 years. I love that stones tell stories. I love hearing and speaking Hebrew as a language that has existed since antiquity but was brought into the modern era in the early 20th century and flourishes as we speak.
