Since 1948 AD we have been insulting the Jews by calling them Zionists and if you want to insult a person of any religion or caste, you call him “Zionist” and that’s why they are called Zionist Arabs, Zionist Christians Is. , and Zionist Muslim, and perhaps the meaning of the term has evolved into praise in some Arab societies. They call a person Zionist in appreciation of the miraculous work done by him. The Arab-nationalist media found Zionism a stinging insult, so launching it in Israel was excessive, given that the term harms Jews in general and those in the occupied state in particular. I cannot apply the doctrine of semantic change to his use of the word, and I do not claim that the motive was out of ugliness, rather I think that ignorance played a significant role in interpreting water after labor with water. played the part.
Zionism – at its core – is a liberation movement aimed at gathering Jews from the diaspora and sending them to a state on their “promised” land, as they claim, after failed attempts to integrate into European societies. Afterwards. Therefore, Zionism represents to the vast majority of Jews a source of pride, as it is a racist movement to others that is not appropriate.
In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries AD, several attempts were made to persuade Jews to “return” to Palestine, but the “Haskeleh” or “Jewish Enlightenment” movement, popular in the late eighteenth century, urged Jews to integrate into secular Western culture. requested. And don’t listen to the call to return. Jews failed to integrate into Eastern Europe, and as a reaction to the imperial pogroms, those who called themselves “lovers of Zion” formed a trend for Jewish farmers and artisans to settle in Palestine, the Jewish community. Secular liberal society as an alternative to European.
Jews living in Europe today separate themselves from the societies in which they live, as they show signs of belonging to Judaism, and they do not celebrate Christmas or New Year’s Day, but instead show loyalty to their communities. attribute their religious holidays and the Jewish New Year.
Due to the intense polarization between the Soviet Union and the US, in 1975 the General Assembly of the United Nations issued Resolution No. 3379, declaring that “Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination.” This resolution was proposed by the Russians and was strongly supported. Arab and Islamic countries.
Zionists loyal to the doctrine believe that Zionism is not compatible with racism – it is rooted in the values of “freedom, democracy, equality and social justice”. We may have held this ideal when Zionism was a motivating idea, but after the establishment of the occupation state of Israel, it is impossible to separate Zionism from racism, as they have become two sides of the same coin.
Ron Loder, president of the World Jewish Congress, wrote in The New York Times (August 13, 2018): “The Zionist movement has been incredibly democratic since its inception. Its flag read Freedom, Equality and Human Rights for All, “From this point of view, the Basic Law of the final Israeli nation-state, which legitimizes Jewish supremacy, is merely an aberration or an unfortunate development,” meaning here Law of State Judaism. It is clear from the historical context that Zionism is not such a deficiency in its foundation that tarnishes Israel, rather we were insulting Israel and are still doing it because it is Israel and proud that it is Israel. Have Arabs Failed in the Hard and Soft War Against Israel and Zionism?
If Zionism was initially a charitable movement to help the dispossessed, concerned with creating a state for displaced Jews, then after its occupation of Palestine it “constructed a national philosophy that was a direct challenge to all of them”. who still believe in liberalism.” The Jewish philosopher Maurice Cohen said in 1919 that Zionists had developed “a racial philosophy of the history of liberal or human civilization,” stressing that the claim of “racial purity … is completely legendary.”
Years have been wasted by the Arab media, and it is still bashing Zionists with the likes of it, until Zionism has become one of the most popular words in Arab nationalist media. It seems that the time has come to find a proper affront to Zionists instead of broadcasting Zionism as a condemnation, which is closer to praise, especially since the Zionist media and pressure groups tend to equate Zionism with antisemitism. are close to synonymous, so that criticism of Zionism is internationally banned, as is the case with antisemitism. What hurts Zionists most today is their association with racism, as the latter is a popular term in international human rights instruments.
