| Synopsis: |
This unique book offers a philosophical exploration into the politics of Zionism, Israel-Palestine and its link to Jewish being and thinking. Ben-Dor argues that the current anti-Zionist discourse uncritically divorces the link between Zionism and Judaism and that this link as well as the reasons for not pursuing it, must be analyzed.This exciting and fresh new approach argues that any attempt to link the Zionist and the Jewish questions is immediately condemned as anti-Semitic or as being based on self-hatred, thereby being removed from the range of legitimate critique. The philosophical context is developed into a political analysis as the author goes on to propose that the denial of the link between the two questions constrains the effectiveness of an anti-Zionist struggle. The ability of anti-Zionism to challenge how people behave in Israel as well as in a world that befriends or rationalizes Israel is severely curtailed. Zionism encapsulates higher stakes for the whole of humanity and these stakes are concealed by conceiving and criticizing Zionism merely as a modern European Colonial Movement. |
