  • Ilan Pappe: Zionism began as a Christian project

    Zionism began as an evangelical Christian concept and later an active project. It appeared as a religious appeal to the faithful both to aid and be prepared for the ‘return of the Jews’ to Palestine and the establishment of a Jewish state there as the fulfilment of God’s will. But soon after, the Christians involved in this campaign politicised this ‘theology of return’, once they realised that a similar notion had begun to emerge among European Jews, who despaired of finding a solution to the never-ending anti-Semitism on the continent. The Christian desire to see a Jewish Palestine coincided with a similar European Jewish vision in the late nineteenth century.

    But the Zionist lobby didn’t confine itself to Christian evangelicals. Jews, looking for a solution to seemingly intractable oppression in Europe, started to rally around the idea of a state of their own – with visions ranging from a socialist Utopia on Palestinian soil to a modern state in alliance with the Western imperial powers.

    I swear you are allergic to reading. How many of those links have you actually looked at?

    It was both a messaging issue and a policy issue. Ignoring the bad foreign policy of the campaign and also the lack of messaging on the popular policies, or how Harris shyed away from popular policy messaging, doesn’t change the reality that her campaign was a failure. If the failures aren’t actually addressed, nothing will change.
