| | General Zionists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | General Zionists were represented in the Knesset for the first 13 years of Israel's existence and were, at one point, the second largest party. | | | In the years following the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, the General Zionists moved towards the right in opposition to the hegemony of the Mapai party and the Labour Zionist movement over Israeli politics. | | | Eventually, however, General Zionists became identified with European liberal and middle class beliefs in private property and capitalism. |

| | The political dead end of Labour Zionism Part 2-- The convergence of the Labour Zionists and Revisionist Zionism |
| | Relations with the Labour Zionists deteriorated and it was widely assumed that the Revisionists were implicated in the assassination of Chaim Arlosoroff, the political secretary of the Jewish Agency. | | | From then on the Labour Zionists, seeing their dream of a Jewish state disappear, abandoned the established Zionist policy of caution and gradualism and collaborated with their arch-enemies, the right wing Zionists, known as the Revisionists, who were orientated towards the fascist regimes of Germany, Italy and Poland. | | | The Labour Zionists who were to rule Israel for the next 30 years never gave the democratic pledges it contained any substance in law. |

| | The Zionists were thoroughly in agreement with this and therefore seen by the Jewish workers as being the legitimation of anti-semitism. | | | Zionists were always fiercely anti-communist and after the May Day riots in Jerusalem in 1921 they actively cooperated with the British in deporting Jewish communists of the MOPSI to Russia (where Stalin murdered them). | | | Indeed, whereas the revisionist (Likud) Zionists were quite happy to exploit the Arab workers, Labour Zionism campaigned to exclude Arabs from the land and the economy (‘Jewish land, Jewish labour, Jewish produce’ was their slogan). |

| | Terrorism And The Origins Of Israel - Part 1 By Jean Shaoul |
| | While both the mainstream Zionists and the Revisionists supported the British against Germany and joined the British armed forces, the Stern Group opposed conscription of the Jews and went on to carry out armed robberies, murders, and terrorist attacks against both the British and the Arabs. | | | The Zionist state could only be established "in blood and fire". | | | By the late 1930s, the British, who ruled Palestine under a League of Nations mandate, began to reverse their previous and somewhat vague support for the establishment for "a homeland for the Jews" in Palestine. |

| | Selves and Others - Speaking the Truth to Jews |
| | Zionist thinkers, though generally secular, used Jewish religious sentiment to further their cause, but this was not just cold-blooded political manoeuvring. | | | Many leftist Zionists, such as those in Hashomer Hatzair, took great pains-whilst working for a Jewish majority through immigration, directing and participating in the ethnic cleansing of 1948, and subsequently building their socialist and utopian (but only for Jews) kibbutzim on stolen Palestinian land-to cloak themselves in the rhetoric of bi-nationalism. | | | But for some, after 1967, and the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, the illegal settling of the land, and, later, the war in Lebanon, the Intifadas, and the work of the new Israeli historians in uncovering the truth of Israel’s birth, the story has had to be revised. |

| | Zionists were seeking detente with an enemy to achieve Jewish nationalism...But the American Jewish Committee's antagonism to anti-Nazi activity defied even their own definition of Jewish defense. | | | Then, instead of negotiating with the Jew-hating Nazis, the same Labour Zionists exploited a political murder to promote their pacts with the Jew killers of the PLO by eliminating Revisionist (Likud) objections through deliberate, wrongful blame. | | | The Nazis and Labour Zionists had one very important thing in common: The Nazis wanted Germany ridded of Jews and the socialist Zionists did too, so long as they emigrated to Eretz Yisrael. |

| | In Defence of Marxism - The Origins of the Jews - Part Three: Anti-Semitism and Zionism |
| | The Zionist dogma has incorporated most elements of the doctrines of anti-Semitism, starting from the argument of the incompatibility of the Jews and the Gentiles, through the call for the massive migration of the Jews to Palestine with the aim of establishing a Jewish State. | | | The Zionists argue that they are the expression of the historical dream of the Jews to return to their "Promised Land". | | | To begin with, the Zionists share with the anti-Semites the attitude of the Jew as a foreigner in the countries Jews have lived for many generations. |

| | Al-Ahram Weekly Securing Occupation: The real meaning of the Wye River Memorandum |
| | Labour Zionism was committed to the "building of a Jewish society by Jews alone, from foundation stone to rafter" in "all of Palestine" (Anita Shapira). | | | Historian Benny Morris observes that, for the Zionist leadership, "transferring the Arabs out" was seen as the "chief means" of "assuring the stability and 'Jewishness' of the proposed Jewish state". | | | Accordingly, as Zeev Sternhell shows in his important study, The Founding Myths of Israel, "nobody fought against the Arab worker more vigorously than [Labour Zionists]; nobody preached national, economic and social segregation with more determination than the Labour movement." |

| | Behind the Twenty-first Century Intifada |
| | It was the labour of the oriental Jews, as well as the few Palestinians who remained, that became the driving force to 'make the desert bloom' into a modern capitalist state. | | | So the application of labour Zionism in Israel was based on ethnic stratification of the working class, not just between Jews and Arabs, but also between occidental and oriental Jews. | | | The more 'social democratic' elements of Zionist thought became prominent and prevailed as the dominant form of Zionism, and this is what allowed Zionist groups to gain a foothold in the Jewish workers' movement. |

| | Lenni Brenner: Zionism in the Age of the Dictators (Chap. 17) |
| | Our Zionist ideologists have always denounced this type of Jew – this revolutionary middleman, who pretending to be an internationalist, a rebel, a warrior, a hero, is actually so abject, so cowardly, and spineless when the existence of his own nation hangs in the balance... | | | They cannot bring themselves to repudiate their venture or to claim that the Zionists were correct in denouncing them for fighting in Spain, but in retrospect they have sought to emphasise the “national” Jewish aspect of their involvement and they have carefully counted every Jew in the long lists of those who fought. | | | All Zionists saw the solving of the Jewish question as their most important task, and they sharply counterposed Jewish nationalism to any concept of international solidarity; none despised “red assimilation” more vigorously than the Labour Zionists. |

| | While Jabotinsky continued to lobby the British Empire, the Irgun, under the leadership of people such as David Raziel and later Menachem Begin, fought politically against the Labour Zionists and militarily against the British for the establishment of a Jewish state, independent of any orders from Jabotinsky. | | | Jabotinsky later argued for a need to establish a base in the Yishuv, and developed a vision to guide the Revisionist movement and the new Jewish society on the economic and social policy centered around the ideal of the Jewish middle class in Europe. | | | In the Jewish Diaspora, Revisionism was most established in Poland, where its base of operations was organized in various political parties and Zionist Youth groups, such as Betar. |

Herzog and R. iel, issued a joint statement condemning the murders, calling upon the perpetrators to realize the depths of “the shame which they have inflicted upon the Yishuv to whom their acts are utter abomination”. | | | In fact, according to the pro-Zionist scholar Samuel Halperin, one of the more important considerations that pushed the American Jewish bourgeoisie, until then opposed to Zionism, into the pro-Zionist camp was their fear that, if the DPs came to the US in any significant numbers, it would mean “importing more anti-Semitism”. | | | Ben-Gurion had come to see the “Displaced Persons” in Germany as the decisive factor in winning American support for a Zionist state, and he called off the Haganah& campaign to directly overthrow the regime in Palestine and focused all of its efforts into building a massive illegal immigration campaign. |

| | The New York Review of Books: The Jewish State in Question |
| | In fact, Chomsky tendentiously suggests that when, at the Biltmore Hotel conference in 1942, the Labour Zionists (except for Mapam) abandoned their deliberately vague claim to a Jewish "homeland" and demanded in effect a Jewish state they stealthily took over the precepts of the Revisionists. | | | This is unfortunate; for Chomsky's sustained attack on "Zionist" impediments to "brotherhood" detract greatly from his otherwise valuable and periodically prophetic observations about Israeli society. | | | One typical example of this was the celebrated alarm of the Mapai party boss Pinhas Sapir over the so-called "demographic problem." Sapir feared, and was widely supported in his view, that the Jewish character of the state would be ended if Israel held on to occupied territories and the one million Arabs living on them. |
