Zionism

Synonyms:
Jewish nationalism
Israel
Description:

Promoting a world-wide movement for the return of Jewish people to their ancient home in the Middle East.

Context:

Zionism has two major sources, one in Jewish tradition and religious feeling and the other in the need to find safe refuge from manifestations of anti-Semitism.

Implementation:

Zionism as a strategy was mainly implemented in the 20th century, through holding Congresses, migrating, politically influencing various governments, public education campaigns, civil war, terrorism, agricultural communes (kibbutzim), a unilateral declaration of independence and the building of the political and social forms and economic infrastructure of a new nation. (1) It has given a new sense of identity to Jews around the world. (2) It has preserved the Hebrew language. (3) It has given a new impetus to archaeology in the Holy Land. (4) It has helped to revive understanding of the Jewish origins of Christianity.

Counter Claim:

Zionism has been opposed by many Jews in the West who favoured assimilation into their particular adopted communities, short of conversion.
