Zionismus in der Krise - wie geht es weiter?
Klar ist, dass der Zionismus in seiner derzeitigen Form nicht funktio-niert, allein schon, weil die jüdische Gesellschaft in Israel ihren Zusammenhalt verliert. In den jüdischen Siedlungen im Westjordanland hat sich eine messianische, einst randständige Variante des Zionismus zu einer Ideologie entwickelt, die von wichtigen Teilen des israelischen Establishments vertreten wird. Stattdessen sind die Säkularen auf der Suche nach \"guten Araber*innen\", das heißt Palästinenser*innen, die sich mit dem Zio-nismus anfreunden können. Im besten Fall dürften diese eine Art Bantustan im Westjordanland und im Gazastreifen haben oder in den Grenzen Israels leben, das nach jüngsten Berichten von Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch und B'Tselem einem Apartheidsystem gleicht (das palästinensischen Flüchtlingen verbie-tet, an ihre Herkunftsorte zurückzukehren). Das Problem der ehemals in Israel \"Friedenslager\" genannten Gruppe ist, dass der Staat immer mehr in die Hände der messiani-schen Zionist*innen gerät, die auch Teile der Mizrachim für sich gewinnen konnten, welche bis heute in den Armengegenden der Großstädte oder in unterentwickelten Kleinstädten leben. Die Polizei ist jetzt eine Miliz angeführt von Itamar Ben Gvir, einem der Protagonisten des messianischen Lagers und Minister für nationale Sicherheit. Israel zerfällt als demokratischer Staat und folgt damit anderen gescheiterten Staaten in der Region.
Journal Article
The question of zion
Zionism was inspired as a movement--one driven by the search for a homeland for the stateless and persecuted Jewish people. Yet it trampled the rights of the Arabs in Palestine. Today it has become so controversial that it defies understanding and trumps reasoned public debate. So argues prominent British writer Jacqueline Rose, who uses her political and psychoanalytic skills in this book to take an unprecedented look at Zionism--one of the most powerful ideologies of modern times.
Rose enters the inner world of the movement and asks a new set of questions. How did Zionism take shape as an identity? And why does it seem so immutable? Analyzing the messianic fervor of Zionism, she argues that it colors Israel's most profound self-image to this day. Rose also explores the message of dissidents, who, while believing themselves the true Zionists, warned at the outset against the dangers of statehood for the Jewish people. She suggests that these dissidents were prescient in their recognition of the legitimate claims of the Palestinian Arabs. In fact, she writes, their thinking holds the knowledge the Jewish state needs today in order to transform itself.
In perhaps the most provocative part of her analysis, Rose proposes that the link between the Holocaust and the founding of the Jewish state, so often used to justify Israel's policies, needs to be rethought in terms of the shame felt by the first leaders of the nation toward their own European history.
For anyone concerned with the conflict in Israel-Palestine, this timely book offers a unique understanding of Zionism as an unavoidable psychic and historical force.

Deconstructing Zionism : a critique of political metaphysics
\"This volume in the Political Theory and Contemporary Philosophy series provides a political and philosophical critique of Zionism.While other nationalisms seem to have adapted to twenty-first century realities and shifting notions of state and nation, Zionism has largely remained tethered to a nineteenth century mentality, including the glorification of the state as the only means of expressing the spirit of the people. These essays, contributed by eminent international thinkers including Slavoj Zizek, Luce Irigaray, Judith Butler, Gianni Vattimo, Walter Mignolo, Marc Ellis, and others, deconstruct the political-metaphysical myths that are the framework for the existence of Israel.Collectively, they offer a multifaceted critique of the metaphysical, theological, and onto-political grounds of the Zionist project and the economic, geopolitical, and cultural outcomes of these foundations.A significant contribution to the debates surrounding the state of Israel today, this groundbreaking work will appeal to anyone interested in political theory, philosophy, Jewish thought, and the Middle East conflict\"-- Provided by publisher.
Book
Colonizing Palestine
Among the most progressive of Zionist settlement movements,
Hashomer Hatzair proclaimed a brotherly stance on
Zionist-Palestinian relations. Until the tumultuous end of the
British Mandate, movement settlers voiced support for a binational
Jewish-Arab state and officially opposed mass displacement of
Palestinians. But, Hashomer Hatzair colonies were also active
participants in the process that ultimately transformed large
portions of Palestine into sovereign Jewish territory. Areej
Sabbagh-Khoury investigates this ostensible dissonance, tracing how
three colonies gained control of land and their engagement with
Palestinian inhabitants on the edges of the Jezreel Valley/Marj Ibn
'Amer.
Based on extensive empirical research in local colony and
national archives, Colonizing Palestine offers a
microhistory of frontier interactions between Zionist settlers and
indigenous Palestinians within the British imperial field. Even as
left-wing kibbutzim of Hashomer Hatzair helped lay the groundwork
for settler colonial Jewish sovereignty, its settlers did not
conceal the prior existence of the Palestinian villages and their
displacement, which became the subject of enduring debate in the
kibbutzim. Juxtaposing history and memory, examining events in
their actual time and as they were later remembered, Sabbagh-Khoury
demonstrates that the dispossession and replacement of the
Palestinians in 1948 was not a singular catastrophe, but rather a
protracted process instituted over decades. Colonizing
Palestine traces social and political mechanisms by which
forms of hierarchy, violence, and supremacy that endure into the
present were gradually created.
