Zionism is the Jewish national movement of rebirth and renewal in the land of Israel – the historical birthplace of the Jewish people. The yearning to return to Zion, the biblical term for both the Land of Israel and Jerusalem, has been the cornerstone of Jewish religious life since the Jewish exile from the land two thousand years ago, and is embedded in Jewish prayer, ritual, literature and culture.

The underlying narrative of just about every liberal attack on Israel has been this. Defending yourself only makes us hate you more. This cynical sleight of hand is of course an old trick used by bigots to inhibit their targets from daring to fight back. And liberals have made it their weapon of choice when going after Jews and Israel. The tactic ...
Lo primero que hay que decir de esta trágica historia con un final previsible, es que es lamentable que un hecho del cual Israel tenia – o debería haber tenido – perfecto conocimiento, haya derivado en una nueva ola de anti-semistismo, anti-israelismo, anti-sionismo, o judeofobia, como quiera llamarse, ya que tanto se con ...

On this, the 53rd anniversary of Israel's independence, it is all too tempting for friend and foe alike to define Israel, and Zionism, solely by the Arab world's bloody hostility. To do so is to miss the normal miracles that occur in Israel daily, the millions who are able to live and learn, laugh and play, in the Middle East's only democracy. To ...
