Abstract:

This dissertation focuses on the 'theo-political' core of US Christian Zionism and Jewish Religious Zionism. The political militancy characterizing two Millenarian/Messianic movements such as Christian Zionism and Jewish Religious Zionism constitutes a still under-researched and under-theorized aspect that, at present, is paramount to address for its immediate and long terms implications in the highly sensitive and volatile Israeli-Palestinian issue, in the US and Israeli domestic domain, and in the wider international community. Although processes of the 'sacralisation of politics' and 'politicisation of religions' have already manifested themselves in countless forms over past centuries, Christian Zionism and Jewish Religious Zionism are unprecedented phenomena given their unique hybridized nature, political prominence and outreach, mobilizing appeal amongst believers, organizational-communicational skills and degree of institutionalization.

Abstract:

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited
Israel’s 1967 victory in the Six-Day War ironically led to persistent and pervasive struggle. In addition to international scrutiny, regional uncertainty, and the management of an occupied Palestinian population, Israel has been engaged in an internal struggle revolving around settlement of the occupied territories. Religious Zionism constitutes one faction within this struggle. Religious Zionism is a middle-road ideology between secular Zionism, founded by Theodore Herzl in 1897, and the traditional rabbinic teaching that rejects human efforts to secure a return to the ancient land of Israel. Religious Zionism is founded on the belief that Jews have an obligation to return to Israel; such a return is considered a divine commandment. The occupation created the conditions for the religious Zionist movement to force a clash with the secular Israeli government. Religious Zionists wanted to possess and settle the newly occupied territory regardless of national security concerns. I argue that the small religious Zionist movement has had significant influence over the settlement policies of the Israeli government disproportional to its demographic numbers, an influence whose consequences extend to the fate of the peace process and the future of the Middle East.

Abstract:

Life for nineteenth century American women was full of restrictions and limitations. Frowned upon or simply not permitted to enter "male" spheres of activity such as professions, business and politics, many middle class women turned to philanthropy and reform work as the sole acceptable outlet for their energy, talents, and time. American Jews of German descent adopted the "Victorian ideal of womanhood" popular in the United States at this time, propelling many German-Jewish women to engage in charitable Zionist activity despite the general lack of support for Zionism in America earlier in this century. Among this group of bourgeois German-Jewish women involved in American Zionism was a poet, Jessie Ethel Sampter, whose contributions to the movement far exceeded those of the norm. Despite her limited Jewish education and upbringing, and extreme physical limitations, Sampter emerged as a pioneer feminist and Zionist, both in America and in her adopted country, Palestine.

Abstract:

Since the 1990s post-Zionist academics have transformed the anti-Zionist ideology of the fringe political group Matzpen, rooted in pre-1948 ideology of Brit Shalom, the Canaanites, and the Communists, into a mainstream de-legitimizing critique of Israel. Utilizing the tools of the critical, neo-Marxist paradigm depicting Israel as an imperialist, colonialist movement, these scholars have produced a ferocious critique of all facets of Israeli history and society hand-tailored to undermine the Jewish state’s legitimacy. ‘New historians’ have argued that Israel, helped by Western imperialism, overwhelmed the Palestinians and ethnically cleansed them. ‘Critical sociologists’ have depicted Israeli society as controlled by an Ashkenazi, capitalist elite that has subjugated minorities, women, the working classes. ‘Critical political scientists’ have produced voluminous research casting Israel as a fascist-like, apartheid state. And revisionist scholars have argued that Israel has turned the Holocaust into a civil religion glorifying power; has used its lessons to oppress the Palestinians; and has fed a collective paranoia that has made Israelis impervious to rational resolution of the conflict.

King, Elvira. "Religion and lobbying in the European Union : Christian Zionism in Brussels." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2013. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.598031.

Full text

Abstract:

The reawakening of interest among Europeans of the nexus between religion and politics in the 21st century is nowhere better demonstrated than in the proliferation of new religious movements, revival of old religious identities, and formation of religious lobby groups. This revival has generated a debate about what kind of identity the EU is projecting, given the fact that the EU, as a unique post-Westphalian and secular construct, rejects the traditional tenets of identity that are normally associated with a nation-state, but it has also proved to be an area that has generated academic interest, since religious representations in Brussels are part of the lobby scene where they aim to exert influence just as much as business interest representations. The European Coalition for Israel (Eel) is one among many religious representations at the EU level that have well-established networks and specific aims for their lobbying, but, as a Christian organisation that supports the State of Israel, the ECI remains the only one such Christian Zionist group in Brussels. Contrary to widespread assumptions that Christian Zionism is uniquely an American phenomenon, it is in fact embedded in European Christianity, . and its current political activism in the EU is a natural progression of a centuries old philosemitism, specifically in Britain and Germany. Even though the ECI is at its core evangelical, it nonetheless conducts its advocacy within a secular framework for two reasons. Firstly, the organisation does not belong to any large Christian denominational structure in Brussels, and secondly, its primary aims and goals are in the political rather than the spiritual domain. The spiritual convictions of European Christian Zionists, i.e. God's un-annulled covenant with the Jews and eschatology, are of central importance to the movement, but equally a powerful factor that constitutes their value system is a historical dimension of Jewish experience in European Christendom. Consequently the normative framework of the ECI's Brusselsbased advocacy is defined by the fight against resurgent antisemitism, whilst its both defensive and offensive lobby strategy is conducted within the context of. the security issues of the Jewish state.

Efrat, Zvi. "The object of Zionism| Architecture of statehood in Israel, 1948--1973." Thesis, Princeton University, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3626579.

Full text

Abstract:

The Object of Zionism investigates the fabrication of the State of Israel as a unique project in modern history—unprecedented in its relative scope and rates of growth; ideological and visionary roots; political and ethical circumstances; and concentration of architectural experiments. These experiments entailed the molding of a new artificial landscape and infrastructure, the destruction and expulsion of indigenous Palestinian communities, and the construction of dozens of New Towns and hundreds of new rural settlements for Jewish refugees and immigrants. Indeed, contrary to common belief and to visual impression, the State of Israel was not born of haphazard improvisation, emergency routine, or speculative ventures, and certainly not of gradual autochthonous build-up, but rather of the objective to construct a comprehensive, controlled, and efficient model-State and put into praxis modernist regional, urban, architectural, and sociological theories.

The Dissertation is conceived along the intricate dialectics of Land and State. These two foundational notions are positioned not as a diachronic sequence (referring until 1948 to the Land of Israel and thereafter to the State of Israel), but, quite the contrary, as an immanent bipolar condition informing all textual manifestos and spatial manifestations that may be referred to as Zionist.

Chapter 1 describes Zionism as an ideologically rural construct, as a strategically expansionist movement, and as an architecturally inventive culture, producing ever more new settlement typologies.

Chapter 2 studies the initial master-plan of the State of Israel, published in 1951. This plan, within less than a decade, transformed from a statement of 4 principles into a mega-project transcending its originators and becoming a self-generating planning machine.

Chapter 3 depicts the attempt to constitute a continuous political hegemony and a consensual cultural uniformity in Israel of the 1950s and to support such an official "Statist" attitude by a conscious and fairly elaborate architectural discourse.

Chapter 4 examines both the efficiency and benevolence of the welfare-state and its coercive policy of social engineering associated with the ambitious project of mass housing.

Chapter 5 narrates the all-too-decisive absorption of Brutalist architecture in Israel, and its instantaneous diffusion throughout all private and public sectors, programs, and typologies.

Weizman, Elian. "Hegemony, law, resistance : struggles against Zionism in the State of Israel." Thesis, SOAS, University of London, 2013. http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/17366/.

Full text

Abstract:

In their struggles against Zionism, Israeli citizens, both Palestinians and Jews, paradoxically seek to challenge through the law the very laws that institutionalise the hegemony of the state's ideology. Law and resistance are seemingly two contradictory concepts: while the law is instrumental in producing and sustaining the hegemonic order, resistance aims to subvert that very order. Zionism - the formula that Israel is a 'Jewish and Democratic state' - is the structuring ideology of the State of Israel; it shapes and is grounded in Israeli laws, and the apparatus of the law underwrites and protects Zionism. Nevertheless, in resisting Zionism, groups and individuals have utilised the law in struggles to overturn it. This research project interrogates the paradoxical relationship between law and resistance and evaluates the efficacy of different strategies of resistance to Zionism by Israeli citizens, both Palestinians and Jews. It offers an in-depth analysis of the spectrum of resistance practices in Israel, from resistance inside the law using legislation and adjudication, parliamentary and extra-parliamentary work, to resistance that disregards the law. This thesis reveals that an ensemble of resistance that acts simultaneously both inside and outside the legal system, constructing and disrupting, building and dismantling, seems to be most strategically effective in countering hegemonic structures, exposing their weaknesses and internal contradictions and forcing hegemony to reveal its oppressive nature, thereby losing its legitimacy both internally and internationally. In Israel, it is a strategy that exposes the contradictions between the state's Jewish and democratic pretensions, showing its willingness to suspend the one to defend the other, thereby revealing its coercive side.

Amit, Hila. "A queer way out : Israeli emigration and unheroic resistance to Zionism." Thesis, SOAS, University of London, 2016. http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/23576/.

Full text

Abstract:

At the juncture of sexuality, politics and national belonging, this research investigates the connections between the Israeli nation and its outcasts, and between social exclusion and departure. Based on 42 interviews with queer Israeli emigrants, as well as exploration of online platforms and popular texts, this dissertation suggests viewing Israeli emigration as a political activity directed at the Zionist regime. The focus on queer subjects enables an investigation of an extreme case of resistance and antagonism to Zionist ideology and social conventions in Israel, such as reproduction, army service, and emigration. This research argues that in departing, queer Israelis undermine Zionist ideology, as well as change the obvious paths of resistance to Zionism. This dissertation will demonstrate that the decision to emigrate stems from recognising the vulnerability of the emigrants, who no longer could take the hardship of the life offered to them in Israel. The very act of announcing their vulnerability undermines the entire system. In stepping out of the territory of the state of Israel, they avoid the Zionist demand to perform as strong, masculine Sabras. Likewise, the left-wing resistance to the state demands similar strength - taking part in violent demonstrations and risking imprisonment and getting physically hurt. In a reality which values courage, heroism, total obedience and masculinity on both sides of the political spectrum, acts of weakness, desertion, evasion, and vulnerability will be read here as politically significant. Queer forms of departure symbolise a refusal to answer Zionism in the currency of heroism and active resistance.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis is about the longest-lived (1972-1993) women's liberation magazine in the UK: Spare Rib (SR). Surprisingly, to date there has been no extended research on this magazine. Only a small number of academic articles and book chapters make fleeting reference to it. Whilst maintaining a close connection to the Women's Liberation Movement, SR proclaimed itself a magazine for all women. It was produced collectively. SRs collective endured many internal identity-based conflicts, made public on the pages of the magazine. In particular, the SR collective became deeply divided over three issues: anti-lesbianism, racism and anti-Semitism/Zionism. It is these three debates specifically, and the processes of how the magazine engaged with them, which this thesis focuses on. Using textual analysis, I investigate readers' letters, magazine editorials, and articles to analyse the shape of these debates, in terms of content and process. Thus, in the first substantive chapter I analyse how the debate about anti-lesbianism in SR developed. I also examine how the first discussions about 'the nature' of lesbianism - focusing in particular on whether it was primarily biological or emotional - and their follow-up established the pattern through which the SR collective engaged in contentious debates. Chapter 3 focuses on the issue of race and racism as it unfolded in SR. Here I analyse how an initial concern with Asian women workers' experiences in Britain was quickly superseded by a focus on the exclusion of black women from the WLM and their experiences of racism, and how this in turn developed into one of the most searing conflicts within SR. Chapter 4 demonstrates how the race issue overwhelmed questions of anti-Semitism/Zionism, dividing the collective along racial lines. My Conclusion suggests that ultimately the debates in SR magazine proved intractable because of irresolvable differences among diverse identity-based positions.

Abstract:

This dissertation assesses the historical engagement of Canadian state and society with the Palestine problem. Canada’s contemporary position on the pro-Israel edge of the spectrum of world politics raises questions about long-term patterns of change and continuity in Canadian politics concerning the Middle East. Liberal patriotic historical narration of Canadian foreign policy conventionally invokes what Lester B. Pearson referred to as ‘the broad and active internationalism’ with which Canadian officials approached the world in the years after World War II. Moderate voices within the contemporary Canadian mainstream typically counterpose this history to a narrow support for Israel that pits Canada against a majority of the world community. This dissertation argues that contemporary political opposition in Canada needs to find other historical precedents to build upon. The established liberal internationalist framing obscures the formative influence upon Canadian foreign policy of a racialized politics of empire. The development of Canadian politics within the framework of the British Empire, and the domestic structures of racial power that formally endured into the twentieth century, need to be taken into account if the historical evolution of Canadian external affairs policy on Palestine – as more generally – is to be understood. Historical and political analysis structured around the assertion of national innocence undercuts the kind of understanding of the past that can inform constructive engagement with the problems of the present. As against the pervasive theme of fair-minded Canadian innocence, this dissertation finds that the implication of both the Canadian government and Canadian civil society in the denial of Palestinian rights has deep historical roots. It is critical to look not only at the scope of internationalist tendencies within Canadian political history, but also at their exclusionist boundaries. In so doing, this study positions Canada within wider Western structures of support for Israel against Palestinian and neighbouring Arab societies.

Abstract:

Zionism represents a turning point in the rise of the nation-state to its present near-ubiquity, a national movement which did not construct an identity concurrently with its embrace of nationalism, but reconstructed a diaspora to fit it. I explore how early Political Zionists, particularly Theodor Herzl, perceived both the push and pull of nationalism, and why they were drawn to adopt an ideology and political structure whose basic principles, I argue, were intrinsically hostile to Jews. I begin by examining the socialist Moses Hess as a forerunner and microcosm of later Zionism, arguing his work is underpinned by anxiety about social heterogeneity. The second chapter focuses on portrayals of diaspora, its contradictions and the ambivalence they caused towards less assimilated Jews, nonetheless used as models for national identity. I continue by investigating the countries Herzl looked to as partners on the world stage and models of nationhood, arguing his vision of nationhood was far broader than that of most nationalists and involved a recognised role among other nations. The fourth chapter concerns understandings of 'homeland' and the relationship between people and territory, concluding Zionism's effect is achieved, not just by inhabiting Palestine, but by public desire and effort to do so. I devote my final chapter to concepts of modernity, its perception as both paradoxical and inescapable, and how national historical narratives arrange history into a rational, linear structure. While Zionists left many presumptions of nationalism and modernity unchallenged, most importantly that both nation and state transcend political divides, my conclusion stresses those presumptions they accepted, those aspects they saw as inescapable, and those they pragmatically performed belief in, to achieve Gentile acceptance of Jewish nationhood. I surmise that it was this sense of inevitability, along with the difficulties of diaspora, which gave Jews reason to make displays of accepting the nation-state.

Nelson, Ian Martin. "The British New Labour Party and political zionism : continuity of an essential dilemma." Thesis, Durham University, 2008. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/1940/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the basis and nature of the relationship between the British our Party and political Zionism. Specifically, it locates the decision-making process and policies of the British New Labour Party towards political Zionism and the Israel-Palestinian question, within the historical evolution of this relationship. This thesis demonstrates that this relationship is uniquely based on common origins, a shared socialist ideology and related religious philosophies, with the Labour Party historically demonstrating a pro-political Zionist tendency in its decision and policymaking trajectory. However, a growing awareness within the Labour Party of the realities of both Palestine and political Zionism, in particular the consequences for the indigenous people, - the Palestinians, has presented key Labour figures, and the party generally, with an essential dilemma. The thesis argues that support for political Zionism has ultimately posed ideological and political contradictions for the Labour Party, whilst simuhaneously presenting personal psychological dilemmas for key leadership and policy-making figures. The three dimensions of this essential dilemma, ideological, political and psychological, have combined in a process of progressive adjustment of the historical pro-political Zionist policy trajectory, towards a position of neutrality. This adjustment has been consistent through the old Labour and New Labour decision and policy-making eras, and therefore the policy of New Labour cannot be fully understood without reference to this historical evolutionary process. This neutral position has enabled the party to not only accommodate its traditional pro-political Zionism inclinations, which stem from the personal or psychological and ideological commitments of its leadership and constituencies, but also to avoid ththe full implications ol internal and external determinants that might have otherwise divided the party.

Bradley, Don. "American Proto-Zionism and the "Book of Lehi": Recontextualizing the Rise of Mormonism." DigitalCommons@USU, 2018. https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/7060.

Full text

Abstract:

Although historians generally view early Mormonism as a movement focused on restoring Christianity to its pristine New Testament state, in the Mormon movement’s first phase (1827-28) it was actually focused on restoring Judaism to its pristine “Old Testament” state and reconstituting the Jewish nation as it had existed before the Exile. Mormonism’s first scripture, “the Book of Lehi” (the first part of the Book of Mormon), disappeared shortly after its manuscript was produced. But evidence about its contents shows it to have had restoring Judaism and the Jewish nation to their pre-Exilic condition to have been one of its major themes. And statements by early Mormons at the time the Book of Lehi manuscript was produced show they were focused on “confirming the Old Testament” and “gathering” the Jews to an American New Jerusalem. This Judaic emphasis in earliest Mormonism appears to have been shaped by a set of movements in the same time and place (New York State in the 1820s) that I am calling “American proto-Zionism,” which aimed to colonize Jews in the United States. The early Mormon movement can be considered part of American proto-Zionism and was influenced by developments in early nineteenth century American Judaism.

Abstract:

My thesis focuses on the ideological development of the Maximalist Revisionist Zionist leader Abba Ahimeir, and positions him more accurately within the contexts of the Zionist Right, the period of his political activity, and the Zionist movement in general. Through an examination of his doctoral thesis on Oswald Spengler and first publications, I conclude that Spenglerian theory exerted a fundamental influence upon Ahimeir throughout his entire life, and that his embrace of Fascist ideology began six years earlier than is generally accepted. I thus contend that Ahimeir's ideological path was already set in 1924, far earlier than is generally believed. A survey of his journalistic output, while a member of the moderately socialist party HaPoel HaTzair, shows that Ahimeir's apparent shift from Left to Right was not the radical defection that it is currently considered to be. A study of primary source archival material allows me to demonstrate that as a leader of the Revisionist Youth Group Betar and instructor in its Leadership Training School, Ahimeir's ideological influence upon Revisionist youth was far greater than is commonly accepted. A discussion of more general intellectual-historical concepts - Spenglerian-, Fascist-, and Revolutionary- theory, Jewish Völkisch-nationalism, secular Messianism - allows me to re-weight certain ideological outlooks in the current body of research regarding Ahimeir, the Revisionist Party, and the Zionist Left. Notably, I suggest we view Ahimeir as a 'Revolutionary' who used Fascism merely as a modus operandi in the service of his revolution. This particularistic ideological outlook was exemplified in his semi-clandestine, anti-British resistance group Brit HaBiryonim, as a thorough examination of court documents from the group's trial demonstrates. The study provides the first intellectual biography of one of the most influential figures on the Zionist Right, and rights some historical wrongs that exist within Revisionist- and Labour-Zionist myths, and indeed, Israeli collective memory.

Abstract:

This study considers the relationship between an academic elite and its political socio-cultural context, in the case of ‘mizraḥanut’ in Israel. That is, a field, a network and a Hebrew discourse that produce knowledge about a vague conflation of the Middle East, Arabs, ‘Arabness,’ Islam, and ‘Islamness,’ an object that I call ‘the Arab/Muslim,’ and which mirrors the ethno-lingual-national-religious bind that Zionism advocates for Jews. Where other studies focus on either orientalist criticism or everyday academic capitalism, I argue that this field manifests an overdetermination of both ideologies, as it is poised at the junction of academia, orientalism and Zionism. The study looks at the way that the cultural import of ‘mizraḥanut’ in Jewish-Israeli society manifests through resourceful agencies of power-knowledge in and out of academia. At the same time, the field’s ties with, and dependency on, local and global (particularly American) academia are also significant to its discourse and praxis, and the trends there often pull in different political and philosophical directions. The academics in the field try to settle these potentially conflicting influences and work despite their tensions. The study draws on multiple scholarly traditions and offers new evidence for, and insights in, the various historical and cultural-discursive discussions with which it engages. From contributions to methodology and the different understandings of orientalism, through cultural-historical arguments about the origins and evolution of the local field and its colonial entanglements, to inferring the presupposed and the unsaid, this multi-layered anthropological study draws on, and develops the understanding of, broader political conditions, such as colonialism and neoliberalism.

Abstract:

This study is about the ideologies of Zionism and Apartheid, whose regimes (Israel and South Africa) represent the last bastions of the colonial settler enterprise. This study is multidimensional, coming under the fields of both political sociology and comparative politics. It is a cross-national analysis of ideology and race relations, and is concerned with exposing the role of ideology in perpetuating and legitimizing political domination. The November 10, 1975 U.N. resolution that equated Zionism with racism and racial discrimination has generated a great deal of controversy and debate. Supporters of Israel denied the charge, arguing that Zionism is a progressive national liberation movement which led the fight against imperialism. The Afrikaners, too, rejected their colonialist origins and claimed that they led the decolonization movement in Southern Africa. This inquiry tests the fairness and the validity of the anti-Zionist thesis (not popular in the West) which sees Israel as a colonial settler state, like that of South Africa, and which maintains that Zionism is a no less racist ideology than South African apartheid. In other words, the purpose of this inquiry is to find out whether the ideology of Zionism and the laws of Israel sanction discrimination against non-Jews in Israel. If so, how are these conditions similar to that of apartheid in South Africa? The evidences reviewed in this study suggest that the course of the Zionist enterprise was similar in essence to that of European colonialism in Africa and Asia, and emphasize the settler-colonial character of the Zionist movement and the state of Israel. The findings do not support the Zionist thesis of liberation, and see Zionism as a racist ideology whose ethnic policies lead in the same direction of South African apartheid: expropriation of the lands of other people, denying the natives' fundamental human and political rights, and practicing extreme discrimination based on race superiority and purity using the myth of fulfilling a divine mission. One can argue about the relative differences between the two situations, but the essence is the same. In both cases, the colonial settler either denied the existence of the local native or wished his disappearance. Both regimes are committed to a practical policy of apartheid, though Israel does not formally employ the term. Both regimes follow domestic policies based on race discrimination, which is a logical consequence of settler colonialism.

Abstract:

Dissertação de mestrado em Relações Internacionais, apresentada à Faculdade de Economia da Universidade de Coimbra, sob a orientação de Carmen Amado Mendes.
The Securitization Process as the main strategy for the establishment of the Israeli State and the consequent definition of its boundaries focuses on the development of an alternative perspective regarding the establishment of the State of Israel and the consequential definition of its boundaries. In order to avoid any methodological mistakes based on the premise of a partial analysis, the author of the present dissertation initially focuses on the analysis of the concept of “Securitization”, provided by the Copenhagen School, since the standard established by the previous allows to verify the influence of the discursive acts performed by the recognized leaders that are involved throughout the key events of the conflict in analysis. The acts in question were determining factors for the evolution of the conflict, since, as it is approached in the first chapter, the discursive acts of the leaders are able to affect the creation of perceptions, not only by the affected population but, as well, by the International Community. As a result, the author felt the need to explore the theoretical conception of the “Securitization” process, with a special focus on the consequences that the previous allows, in order to contribute as well for the discussion of the theme in question, within the field of Security Studies. Afterwards, the author develops an analysis of the Zionist ideology, with the goal of verifying that its leaders, through the use of discursive acts, directly iv influenced the perceptions of the community that was covered by it, being that the Jewish population, and, as well, the leaders of the States that had the capability to directly influence the issues identified by the previously referred ideology. By doing so, the author will try to prove that the establishment of the State of Israel, even before the development of the Nazi doctrine, was an achievable goal, since the structures to do so had been, until then, created. Consequently, after proving that the establishment of the State of Israel is a result of a successful developed process of “Securitization” of the Jewish community survival, by the Zionist leaders, the author will focus on an analysis directed to the events that allowed the strengthening of the Israeli sovereignty, in its territory, and, afterwards, on the definition of the territory that was subject to it. By doing so, together with a brief scrutiny regarding the facilitating element that the structures created by the Zionist movement added to the relationship between Israel and the remaining States, the author will try to prove that the State of Israel possesses a regime of exception, within the International Community, which was acquired through the development of successive processes of “Securitization” of the Jewish identity.

Abstract:

Uppsatsen handlar om hur fyra judiska personer upplever antisemitism i Sverige. De har svarat på frågor som rör två teman, antisemitism och Israelkritik/antisionism. Informanterna har inte personligen utsatts för antisemitism i stor utsträckning, däremot upplever de att antisemitismen finns mer utbrett på andra platser i Sverige. Israelkritik upplever de enbart som antisemitism när den är obalanserad och när media anklagar judar kollektivt för vad som sker i Israel/Palestina. Sionism ser de dock ingen anledning till att kritisera eftersom den handlar om ett judisk självbestämmande. Ett par av informanterna anser att sionism är så starkt förknippat med judisk tradition att antisionism per automatik blir judefientlig.
The essay is about how four Jewish people experience anti-Semitism in Sweden. They answered questions related to two themes, anti-Semitism and Israel Criticism / anti-Zionism. The informants have not personally been subjected to anti-Semitism widely, but they feel that anti-Semitism is more prevalent in other parts of Sweden. Criticism of Israel is experienced as anti-Semitism when it is unbalanced and when the media blames Jews collectively for what is happening in Israel / Palestine. They see no reason to criticize Zionism because it is about a Jewish self-determination. A couple of respondents believe that Zionism is so strongly associated with Jewish tradition that anti-Zionism automatically becomes hostile towards Jews.
