,While the State of Israel is barely 75 years old, the origins of Zionism actually go back a lot further than one might think. In fact, Zionism was born at three distinct moments in history that all contributed to Zionism as the world knows it today. The first story of Zionism dates back thousands of years ago starting with Abraham in biblical times. This paved the way for the modern movements of 200 years ago during the Enlightenment and 125 years ago when the first political Zionist movement was created. Each of these occurrences shared the same dream for the Jewish people to be recognized as a sovereign nation in their homeland, Israel.

,We’re unpacking the journey of the Zionist — from the beginning of the Roman exile in 70 CE to the present — its relationship with the Arabs in Mandatory Palestine, and its equation to colonialists today. Rooted in the word for the Land of Israel, Zion, the word Zionist may not actually be as “modern” as you thought! In fact, Zionists have been around for thousands of years. The complex and rich history of Israel’s path to statehood is abundant with often-overlooked facts. Historically known as Zion, the Land of Israel has a long and winding past that touches on many peoples, cultures and events.

,Christianity and Judaism have a lot in common, not a huge surprise given Christianity’s Jewish roots. But there’s a major point of difference between the two religions — Jesus. To the Jews, Jesus was a man; to Christians, a messiah, which is a pretty fundamental difference of opinion — and it’s one (of many) that’s shaped the history of Jewish-Christian relations over the centuries.

,This week, we’re diving into the subject of Zionism and looking at where the idea of Jewish return to the Land of Israel came from. But what does this return look like? How has it changed through the centuries and what do we mean by Zionism anyway? Many people believe that “Zionism” originated with Theodore Herzl. That’s certainly an important piece of the puzzle. However, the connection of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel has been an integral part of the Jewish story for at least 3,000 years. Even when the Jews were no longer in the Land of Israel, they’ve had a longing to return. Join us as we outline the history of Zionism - from the bible onwards - and explain how this millenia-old yearning ultimately culminated in the establishment of the modern State of Israel.

,With the death of 11 Israelis, the 1972 Munich Olympics is remembered for putting terrorism on the winners' podium. What should have showcased the new face of Germany actually showcased arrogance, incompetence and International Olympic Committee indifference that continues to this day. The Olympics should have been a roaring success, less than four decades after the infamous Nazi-era Olympics in Berlin in 1936. The presence of the Israeli team, competing just six miles from the Dachau concentration camp, was a statement on Israel's willingness to accept a different Germany. But just 30 years after the Holocaust, Jewish blood was spilled on German soil once again. The Munich Massacre, which was carried out by the infamous Black September group marked a watershed moment in the Palestinian struggle. It also raises important questions about the effectiveness of terrorism and the moral implications of fighting back against terrorism. Should the games have been cancelled or would that have been another victory for the terrorists? Let us know what you think about the question of terrorism and the other issues raised in the video in the comments below.

Theodor Herzl: The Zionist Dream of a Jewish State | History of Israel Explained | Unpacked

1 views 6 years ago

,What is Zionism, and why is it so controversial? And how (and why) did Theodor Herzl, a secular writer, who didn’t know anything about Judaism, transform an ancient longing into a modern political movement that resulted in the establishment of the State of Israel? Short answer - antisemitism. Herzl was present at one of the most explosive trials of the day, which came to be known as the Dreyfus Affair. In the case, Alfred Dreyfus, a high ranking Jewish officer in the French army, was falsely accused of espionage and sentenced to life imprisonment on Devil’s Island (he was later exonerated). It wasn’t just the trial that got Herzl started on his journey towards Zionism. The cries of “Death for the Jew” that were casually hurled around on the streets of Paris made him understand that a Jewish state was necessary to remove the problem of anti-semitism entirely. Herzl was seen as a crazy man in his time, and he certainly had some offbeat ideas, such as the idea for a mass conversion to Christianity (which was swiftly despatched), but his vision for a Jewish state became reality. A modern day Moses, Herzl never saw the country he envisaged, but due to his actions, and the actions of the Zionist leaders that followed, in 1948 the State of Israel came into being.
