I think we can both agree that it's wrong to think that every Zionist pioneer or Jewish refugee that arrived in Palestine before 1948, or after, was hell bent on land theft and ethnic cleaning. That would be a foolishly simple reading of history. But liberal Zionists still refuse to acknowledge Israel's primaryÃâà...

By the 1940s the dominant strain of Zionist thinking, and the only strain that would matter, was State building and the creation of a Jewish majority in the land. For most Zionists this had always been the desired outcome of their efforts. That put Zionism on a collision course with the indigenous majority ArabÃâà...

Adam Bellos' stated mission is as grandiose as his personality. “I'm here to reignite the Zionist movement,” he says, without an ounce of facetiousness.

JJ: You identify six schools of thought about Zionism, one of which you call “Diaspora Zionism,” that is, Zionism for Jews who stay in America but support Israel. Some ardent Zionists of my acquaintance insist that you cannot call yourself a Zionist at all if you choose to remain in the galut. And there are thoseÃâà...

First, “shame on them”: Shame on the anti-Zionists who single out Jewish nationalism, meaning Zionism, in a world organized by nationalisms, and call it “racist.” Shame on them for libeling a democratic movement.

All too often, when I ask campus organizations that are pro-Israel and deeply Zionist why they avoid using the “Z-word” in their messaging and literature, I'm told, “Zionism doesn't poll well.” True, not polling well is one of today's great sins.

In this Israel they are no longer Zionist at all. In Israel at 70, Zionism means a government of the racist, by the racist, for the racist.

In breathtaking cognitive dissonance that is impossible to explain, so-called liberal Zionists stand against every wrong known to man except for the wrong meted out by the Zionist movement to Palestinian Arabs.

Salaita rightly deplores all the energy that goes to catering to Zionist anxieties—“to assuage Zionist fragility,” as he puts it so well. He's right, it is maddening.
