| | Post-Zionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In constrast to the Jewish state being the aim of political Zionism, many Post-Zionists advocate the evolution of Israel into a non-ideological, secular, liberal democratic state which is officially neither Jewish nor Arab in character. | | | Post-Zionism refers to the views of some Israeli and diaspora Jews, particularly in academia, that Zionism fulfilled its ideological mission with the creation of modern State of Israel in 1948 and that the ideology should therefore be considered to be at an end. | | | The term is also used by Right Wing Jews to refer to the Left Wing of Israeli politics in light of the Oslo Accords. |

| | Zionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Zionism is a political movement and ideology that supports a homeland for the Jewish People in the Land of Israel, where the Jewish nation originated over 3200 years ago and where Jewish kingdoms and self-governing states existed at various times in history. | | | Zionism was also supported by the political left at various times both before and after Israel's formation, in part due to sympathy for the Jews as an oppressed people and in part due to the strong socialist roots of Labor Zionism. | | | Zionism and the Arab Muslims and Arab Christians |

| | Post-Zionism and the Sephardi Question - Middle East Quarterly - Spring 2005 |
| | In an article, "Zionism from the Standpoint of Its Jewish Victims," a takeoff on Edward Said's famous "Zionism from the Standpoint of its [Palestinian] Victims,"[5] Ella Habiba-Shohat, an Iraqi-Israeli woman and one of the principal Mizrahi post-Zionist leaders, claims that, alongside the Palestinians, Mizrahi Jews are Zionism's "other" victims. | | | With this in mind, the post-Zionist Mizrahi radical rejection of Zionism and the Israeli state is the wrong medicine for the disease. | | | [6] According to Shohat, Zionism is a white, Ashkenazi phenomenon, based on the denial of the Orient and the rights of both Mizrahi Jews and the Palestinians. |

| | Zionism Then and Now |
| | Zionism means turning our attention to the Jews of the Diaspora, helping them maintain their Jewish identity and affinity with Israel, lest this affinity develop into something lacking moral or historical perspectives, something resembling the attitude of the Italians in the United States towards Italy. | | | Zionism's relevance for the Jewish people in Israel and throughout the world has not declined; it has simply taken on a new form and is providing new challenges. | | | One perceived Zionism as a national liberation movement whose aim was to fulfill the longing of the Jewish people to return to the historic Land of Israel. |

| | Post-Soviet states are subject to various developments in geography, history, politics, economy, and culture in the post-Soviet era, the time after the collapse of the Soviet Union, in the period following Communist Party rule. | | | The Post-Soviet states, also commonly known as former Soviet republics, are the independent nations which split off from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in its breakup in 1991. | | | While the peoples of the former Soviet Republics were anxious to accept the freedoms of capitalism, it quickly became apparent that weening from five year plans was easier said than done. |

| | Post Zionism: New York Times articles |
| | The father of political Zionism and the visionary of the Jewish state was Theodor Herzl (1860-1904), a Hungarian-born Jew who worked as a journalist and a playwright in Vienna, the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. | | | Zionism was in essence an answer to the Jewish problem that derived from two basic facts: the Jews were dispersed in various countries around the world, and in each country they constituted a minority. | | | It firmly identified the author's name with political Zionism, with the view that the Jewish question was a political question with international ramifications and that it therefore needed to be attacked in the forum of international politics. |

| | Post-Communism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | None of the so-called "communist states" ever claimed to actually have a communist system, and therefore, technically, there is no such thing as "post-communism". | | | As in the case of the term "communist state", it should be noted that "post-communism" is completely inaccurate if we use the original definition of communism (the one given by the communists themselves). | | | However, those states were usually called "communist" in the West, because their ruling parties generally used the name "Communist Party of [country]", and it is in this context that the term post-communism must be understood. |

| | For instance, the growing appeal of the Communist opposition in 1992 brought an end to the first stage of "cash privatization" privatization used in 1991 and the first half of 1992, under which bidders used cash to compete to offer the state the highest price in auctions. | | | It is worth noting also that no Soviet leader since Stalin, by virtue of tacit party protocol to avoid such an extreme centralization of power, served as both premier and party chief (the Soviet-era most comparable to Russia’s state executive, as the state presidency was effectively a titular ceremonial post). | | | Many have since charged that Yeltsin was allowing the oligarchs to grab state enterprises at a time when he needed their support for is 1996 presidential elections, which appeared to be heading toward a Communist (KPRF) insurgency. |

| | ACPR - Policy Paper 134 - ZIONISM, THE POST-ZIONISTS AND MYTH |
| | The Post-Zionists denounce Zionism for asserting the significance of Jewish historical continuity, for brainwashing Jewish youth into thinking that they are walking in the footsteps of their forebears from ancient times, and for calling upon Jewry to assume collective responsibility for its historical fate instead of worshiping radical individualism. | | | By so doing, Zionism sought to brainwash Israel-born generations of Jewish youth, that they were the true descendants of earlier generations of Jews who cherished a love of Zion since Biblical antiquity. | | | The notion that they belong to an ancient Jewish People that has returned to claim sovereignty over its historic homeland, is, in their eyes, merely one of the myths disseminated by Zionism. |

| | This section begins with a history of the shadow economy and privatization during the late Soviet years and in post-Soviet Ukraine, and then moves to an analysis of organized crime and patterns of corruption in independent Ukraine. | | | For much of Soviet history, police were evaluated on the basis of rates of solving crimes (raskryvaemost), which encouraged them not to register crime reports, especially thefts, where there were no obvious suspects. | | | Well before the collapse of the Soviet Union, therefore, Ukraine enjoyed most of the prerogatives of an independent state without losing its membership in or access to the resources of a reorganized U.S.S.R.[4] Genuine independence was achieved suddenly, in the wake of the August 1991 putsch. |

| | Indeed, when Zionism is considered as the legitimate expression of Jewish nationalism, and the threats to the existence and territorial integrity of Israel are recognized, the designation of some areas for exclusively Jewish settlement, in areas such as Nahal Irun, the Galilee, and the Negev, are entirely justifiable. | | | By the same token, the Arab war against Zionism was manifested in violence designed to terrorize residents of isolated settlements, and in efforts to prevent Jewish ownership of land. | | | Land is and has always been at the core of political Zionism and the Arab-Israeli dispute. |

| | The Israeli Left takes issue with the post-Zionist postulate that states that Zionism consciously strove for the mass expulsion of the Palestinian population from the land of Israel. | | | It was Labor Zionism which took all the concrete political decisions vis-à-vis the Palestinians, both in the pre-state period, and for various decades afterwards. | | | The most striking case is that of the Canaanite literary movement in Israel, which denied any connection between the "native" Jewish population, the sabras, born in Israel, …and the rest of Diaspora Judaism. |
