Topic: Jewish Nationalist Movement

Ads by Google      Background Report Middle East On May 14th 1948, with the expiration of the British mandate in Palestine, Jewish leaders declared the birth of the sovereign state of Israel. Modern Arab nationalism had its roots in the late 18th century, and was based on the belief that the Arab people constitute a nation, and that they should have either a single Arab state or a group of independent Arab states. In the aftermath of the Suez War, Palestinian Arab leaders became convinced that the surrounding Arab states were too preoccupied with their own state interests and were not sufficiently committed to the liberation of Palestine from the grip of the Israelis. http://www.frostburg.edu/dept/posc/un/backme.htm   (5812 words)      The Trotskyist Movement on the Jewish Question From the Jewish side, this alienation probably became inevitable once the strident anti-Israelism of the movement was clear. It is not surprising now that the membership in the Trotskyist movement is no longer overwhelmingly Jewish, as once it was in countries like France, Britain, and the United States. The general line is familiar: the 1971 SWP resolution is re-affirmed; the Arab struggle is to be supported 'unconditionally'; the Jews of Israel have no right to self-determination; Jewish workers should support the Arab struggle for the destruction of Israel; anti-Semitism in the rest of the world is to be fought. http://www.wernercohn.com/Trotsky.html   (9434 words)      A Historical Look at Religious Zionism Religious Jews, of all variations, were also, and still are caught in a dilemma concerning their relationship to a movement which does not see religious belief as its core and foundation, but does contribute significantly to Jewish national existence. After the appearance of Anti-Semitism and the nationalist renaissance movements, Eretz Yisrael returned to its central place in the thinking of Western European Religious Zionists -- not as a purpose in itself, but as "a means to achieve its spiritual goal". An alliance was formed between the Mizrachi and Herzl which even brought about the support of many of its members for the Uganda Plan, the plan to create a Jewish state in Africa, in 1903. http://www.biu.ac.il/Spokesman/Tolerance/michman.htm   (9434 words)      Deutsche Physik The movement itself began as an extension of a German nationalist movement in the physics community which went back as far as World War I. However, the exodus of German Jewish intellectuals and scientists happened far earlier than the popularizations of the notions of Deutsche Physik and "Jewish physics," and even if the German government had not embraced Lenard and Stark's ideas, the anti-Semitic content of the Nazi regime was enough by itself to destroy the Jewish scientific community. Ideologically, its key claim was that there was "national character" in science, a denial of the claim of science's universality and internationalism (it, like Nazi ideology, also identified "internationalism" as being synonymous with "Jewishness"). http://www.sciencedaily.com/encyclopedia/deutsche_physik   (962 words)      NKRUMAHISM AND THE TRIPLE HERITAGE: Had the Zionist movement accepted the offer, and a permanent Jewish state been established in East Africa, it is conceivable that African anger against the West today would be comparable to anti-Western rage in the Middle East. That appeared to be a partial recognition to the nationalist movement in Kenya in spite of the fact that Tom Mboya was not personally involved with Mau Mau. However, there was no organized political violence or guerilla movement for the independence of the Gold Coast. http://igcs.binghamton.edu/igcs_site/dirton16.htm   (7340 words)      Nazi Party (NSDAP) Some prosperous industrialists were convinced by these arguments and gave donations to the Nazi Party, however, the vast majority continued to support other parties, especially the right-wing German Nationalist Peoples Party (DNVP). Their cry is "Down with the Socialist and Jewish towns of Northern Germany; Down with France." This philosophy is also the basis of the other forces of the Right in Bavaria, namely German Fascism. It is based on the old officers of the Prussian Army migrated to Bavaria and using the weakness of the peasant government in Munich to rally the impoverished middle classes and rentiers, ruined by the inflation, round the Pan-German Nationalist and anti-French flag. http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/GERnazi.htm   (7340 words)      SPECIAL REPORT Embattled Bigots: A Split in the Ranks of the Holocaust Denial Movement ANT The Institute for Historical Review is the primary force in the international anti-Semitic propaganda movement known as Holocaust denial. Carto and the Holocaust Denial Movement The Institute for Historical Review was founded by Willis Carto in 1979 and is currently based in Newport Beach, California. Are remnants of these ancient people living in our world today?" Such features appear to confirm allegations made by the rebel staffers against Carto: that Carto intended to replace Holocaust denial articles in The Journal of Historical Review with more overt racist and nationalist propaganda. http://www.skepticfiles.org/almanac/adl-emba.htm   (7340 words)      Fwd: ZGram - 2/19/2004 - "White Nationalists - a possible ally?" - Part I The Jews consider the Nationalists > their worst enemies, while others are afraid that these contacts > will be perceived as 'antisemitism' and cause the Jews in the > movement to slam the door.

Nationalist Party members were hit with criminal charges for assaults, vandalism and bomb plot conspiracy in the 70's, and two leaders, Don Andrews and Robert Smith, were convicted under laws forbidding the willfiul promotion of hatred. While Taylor and his "union" hovered on the fringes of Toronto society, he remained a mainstay in the movement, graduating to become a kind of father figure and eventually a "martyr" to the young Nazis and white racists of the latter part of the 20th century. http://www.nizkor.org/ftp.cgi/orgs/canadian/canadian-jewish-congress/ftp.py?orgs/canadian/canadian-jewish-congress//marches-to-modems/mtm-001   (1018 words)      Judaism and Organized Jewish Movements in the USSR/CIS after World War II: The Ukrainian Case - Vladimir Khanin Informal Jewish organizations again were registered, such as the Zionist Club in Kharkov, and the Groups of Jewish Nationalist Zionists - organizers of the Movement for Jewish Emigration from the USSR, which was uncovered by the KGB in 1969 in Kiev, Kharkov, and Odessa. In Ukraine, the Jewish sections were created on the basis of the Komfaband (Jewish Communist Union of Ukraine), organized by a pro-Bolshevik group that parted from the Bund (General Jewish Labor Union in Poland, Lithuania and Russia), a Marxist non-Zionist party of Jewish workers established in 1897 and dissolved by the communist authorities by 1921. After the fall of the USSR in 1991, Jewish communities and their institutions opposed the "satellite" Jewish organization which was promoted by the post-communist establishment of the successor states. http://www.jcpa.org/cjc/cjc-khanin-s99.htm   (9123 words)      Zimbabwe on the Internet "In the 1960s and 1970s, as the edifice grew into a potent symbol of the African Nationalist movement, the white government of Rhodesia set about suppressing the findings of prehistorians who claimed that Africans had built Great Zimbabwe."

He denounced The Nationalist Movement as being comprised of "insane Jewish homosexuals" who had refused to "recognize" Black as a "leader." Morrison rejected Black's appeal. I do not make my decisions in behalf of The Nationalist Movement's legal defense team based on what opponents do or do not do, but, rather, on what is best for our cause and for the protection of our members. http://www.overthrow.com/lsn/news.asp?articleID=702   (2807 words)      Jewish Rabbi: Israel a state against God! The Jewish rabbi, said Zionism is no more than a racist nationalist non-religious movement set up by those who veered away from the pure Jewish religion. Theodore Hertzel, founder of the Zionist movement, was not a religious Jewish. Hence, the Jews are never entitled to establish a Jewish state on the Palestinian territory as this is opposed to the Jewish instructions and it is even against God's will. http://www.arabicnews.com/ansub/Daily/Day/020509/2002050924.html   (441 words)      Myths & Facts - Israel’s Roots Critics dismiss the Weizmann-Faisal agreement because it was never enacted; however, the fact that the leader of the Arab nationalist movement and the Zionist movement could reach an understanding is significant because it demonstrated that Jewish and Arab aspirations were not necessarily mutually exclusive. Jewish religion, culture and history make clear that it is only in the land of Israel that the Jewish commonwealth can be built. The Arabs, especially the educated among us, look with deepest sympathy on the Zionist movement....We will wish the Jews a hearty welcome home....We are working together for a reformed and revised Near East and our two movements complete one another. http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/myths/mf1.html   (441 words)      Forum Post Marxist Zionists (notably Ber Borochov) argued that this lay at the core of the "Jewish problem." In part it was just necessity: these were civil-military outposts in a hostile environment (it was, after all a colonization movement as well as a nationalist revival). One can't dissociate all of this from the nationalist revival, including the virtual invention of a national language and the very conscious attempt to change the fundamental nature of Jewish life, intermingled with a complicated array of motives having to do with particularities of the Jewish settlement and socialist-anarchist ideals. In part they were in a kind of romantic "back to the land" movement, suffused sometimes with Tolstoyan anarchism, in other cases part of a (very conscious) effort to reverse the "inverted pyramid" of European Jewish society, which lacked a working/farming class). http://www.zmag.org/chomkibbraptis.htm   (441 words)      NodeWorks - Encyclopedia: Religious Zionist Movement The Religious Zionist Movement is a faction within the Zionist movement which justifies Zionist efforts to build a Jewish state in the land of Israel on the basis of Judaism. The Religious Zionist Movement, or Religious Zionism is an ideology combining Zionism and Judaism, which offers Zionism based on the principles of Jewish religion and heritage. Most religious Zionists are right wing supporters and vote for the Mafdal (National Religious Party), Likud (Conservative party) and National Union (nationalist party). http://pedia.nodeworks.com/R/RE/REL/Religious_Zionist_Movement   (441 words)      Amsterdam II: Zionism and the State of Israel If one were to agree theologically with Emil Brunner, then, "one may hardly accept a positive attitude towards a Jewish nationalist movement which not only strives to create a Jewish state, but also perhaps dreams of the re-establishment of the temple in Jerusalem." But the missionary adds, "Actually that would not be so unbiblical. Even when one of their number, Robert Brunner, called urgently for a response and offered a cogent theological context for it, they still were not capable of coming to terms with a Jewish movement that would return the Jewish people to sovereignty in the Land. I refer to Ezekiel who foresaw a temple in the last days with a new Jewish agricultural colonization in Palestine." For himself, Robert Brunner doubted that "the Bible gives us any valid right to oppose the Jews in their efforts consciously and actively to recreate their national consciousness and identity. http://www.abrock.com/Zion2.html   (441 words)      Zionism A Jewish nationalist movement, Zionism was responsible for establishing the modern state of Israel as the Jewish homeland. Zionism was metamorphosed into a mass movement and political power during World War I. In 1917 the British issued the Balfour Declaration, which bestowed favor upon the establishment in Palestine of a Jewish national home. Zionism has been aided in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries by "Christian Zionists." Because of their premillennial eschatology fundamentalist evangelicals have been particularly supportive of the restoration of the Jewish people to Israel and of Israel itself in the twentieth century. http://mb-soft.com/believe/txc/zionism.htm   (1133 words)      The American Council For Judaism - Article Search However, according to Sternhell, socialism served the leaders of the influential labor movement more as a rhetorical resource for the legitimation of the national project of establishing a Jewish state than as a blueprint for a just society. The fact is, in Sternhell’s view, that modern Zionism is more rooted in the 19th century nationalism of Eastern Europe than it is in anything in Jewish religious history. Sternhell declares:"I contend that the inability of the labor movement under the leadership of its founders and immediate successors to curb aspirations for territorial expansion, as well as its failure to build a more egalitarian society, was not due to any objective conditions or circumstances beyond its control. http://www.acjna.org/article_view.asp?article_id=99   (4328 words)      Journal of Third World Studies: Middle Eastern Politics and Ideas: A History from Within As other scholars have noted, Pappe too documents that the Husayni family itself sold large tracts of land (4,000 donums) in 1910 to the Jewish Nationalist Fund. A member of this family, Haj Amin al-Husayni was the controversial mufti of Jerusalem and the principal leader of the Palestinian nationalist movement during the British mandate period. This partially explains "the fragility of the Palestinian nationalist movement during the mandatory years." Pappe emphasizes that it was this mind set of the notables/elites that resulted in their underestimation of the challenge and then the threat of the Zionist movement. http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3821/is_200010/ai_n8923539   (4328 words)      kahane_2.asp The Kahane Movement consists of several extremist Jewish groups who follow the Jewish nationalist ideology of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane. Working with other Jewish extremists, such as Revava and the Temple Mount Faithful, its members have threatened to revolt against the Israeli government in response to any Israeli withdrawal from the occupied territories. These organizations advocate militant Jewish nationalism as a means to protect the Jewish people. http://www.adl.org/terrorism/symbols/kahane_2.asp   (448 words)      Binyamin Ze'ev (Theodore) Herzl and the Zionist Movement The Hovevei Tzion movement (Lovers of Zion) -- the first Jewish nationalist movement in modern times -- contributed to the development of the Zionist idea. Above all, the Hovevei Tzion Zion did not manage to break through to the outside world and present its demands as a Jewish national movement. Nor did the Hovevei Tzion ever become a mass aliyah movement, capture the hearts of Western European Jews, or succeed in its contacts with the government of Turkey. http://www.jafi.org.il/education/100/act/10zion.html   (2324 words)      Zionism A Jewish nationalist movement, Zionism was responsible for establishing the modern state of Israel as the Jewish homeland.

For instance, a standard response of Soviet officials and "official" Jewish religious leaders to the question of closure of Jewish communal institutions was that this was due to a lack of demand. The catastrophe of Ukrainian Jewry from the 1930s to the 1950s included the Hitlerian genocide of the Jewish population during World War II and the Stalinist terror in the pre- and post-war decades which delivered an enormous blow to the local Jewish community from which it was unable to recover. http://www.jcpa.org/cjc/cjc-khanin-s99.htm   (9123 words)      The Makhnovists on the National and Jewish Questions This extract from Piotr Arshinovs History of the Makhnovist Movement answers Trotskyist slanders that they were a nationalist or an anti-semitic movement. In the army of the Makhnovist insurgents there was an exclusively Jewish artillery battery which was covered by an infantry detachment, also made up of Jews.

This process began in the 18th century with the Haskalah (Hebrew, “enlightenment”), a movement inspired by the European Enlightenment and initiated by the German Jewish philosopher Moses Mendelssohn. Zionism, movement to unite the Jewish people of the Diaspora (exile) and settle them in Palestine; it arose in the late 19th century and culminated in 1948 in the establishment of the state of Israel. http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761576458/Zionism.html   (461 words)      Zionism and the Creation of Israel - Definition and Brief History Zionists solved the conundrum by declaring that Jews are a people, a fact implicit in the Jewish biblical and cultural concept of " am Yisrael." The Jews were a people without a country however, and would remain politically powerless as long as they did not have a national home. The Jewish Agency and Zionist Executive believed that British and world reaction to the assassination of Lord Moyne could jeopardize cooperation after the war, that had been hinted at by the British, and might endanger the Jewish Yishuv if they came to be perceived as enemies of Britain and the allies. Zionist ideas evolved over time and were influenced by circumstances as well as by social and cultural movements popular in Europe at different times, including socialism, nationalism and colonialism, and assumed different "flavors" depending on the country of origin of the thinkers and prevalent contemporary intellectual currents. http://www.mideastweb.org/zionism.htm   (461 words)      Zionism And Its Impact One result of this involvement with European expansionism, however, was that the leaders of the nascent nationalist movements in the Middle East viewed Zionism as an adjunct of European colonialism. In order to realize the aims of Zionism and build the Jewish national home, the Zionist movement undertook the following practical steps in many different realms: Zionism acquired its particular focus from the ancient Jewish longing for the return to Zion and received a strong impetus from the increasingly intolerable conditions facing the large Jewish community in tsarist Russia. http://www.wrmea.com/html/focus.htm   (6072 words)
