"Zionism" is the name of the much maligned national liberation movement of the Jewish people. Zionism is not an evil conspiracy or a racist plot hatched by sly swarthy evil Jews in dark alleys and secret meeting places, but rather a movement of dedicated idealists who wrought an impossible miracle, which every expert insisted was impossible, against huge odds. The story of Zionism challenges the imagination. A tiny, impoverished group of intellectuals and dreamers took it upon themselves to transform the ancient prophetic vision of the restoration of Israel into flesh and blood reality. Zionism faced the opposition of other Jews and the indifference or hatred of most of the world. Zionism took on the Turkish Empire and the British Empire and defeated both. From a people stigmatized as the cowards of the earth, Zionism fashioned a mighty military machine that defeated huge armies. From a tiny strip of desert sunk in the decay of the dying Turkish empire, Zionism created a world class economy and a thriving democracy.

New Image of Jews:

1930s Zionist film

Zionism remade the image and the reality of the Jewish people. The psychological transformation preceded the reality and made the reality possible. A people almost dead willed itself back to life at what could have been the last moments in its history.

Reality of Jewish life in Israel:
Pioneers returning from work

Zionism transformed the intellectuals and merchants of the ghettos of Europe into workers and engineers who built great industries and made deserts bloom. The scurrying frightened figures of ghetto lore gave way to bronzed workers and proud soldiers. In those who hate Jews, contempt was transformed into fear. The lying stereotype of the Jew who could not fight gave way to the equally pernicious lie of the Zionist warmonger. Better to be feared than despised.

Zionism declared that it would redeem the land. Land that had lain fallow for 2,000 years was made to feed a nation of seven million people. Zionism revived the ancient language of the Bible. Hebrew became the language of a modern nation: a language for rock singers and stevedores, comics, poets, pilots, engineers scientists and young lovers.

The story of Zionism is a human story. In its long road, the Zionist movement had many surprising successes, many failures, and many mistakes and tragic disappointments. The story is not finished yet. History of Zionism

Israel Boycott? - What are the reasons, and what does the world lose?

Did Mohamed's followers drink his urine in order to be blessed? - A controversial Egyptian Fatwa extols the virtues of this special elixir.

Sex in Egypt: Adult Breastfeeding Setback - Cleric dismissed for recommending adult breastfeeding. No fun in Egypt.

Hamas blows up good, - Quoth Hamas: "All options is (sic) open including the martyrdom operations in the occupied Palestinian land in 1948". At least, they are telling the truth about their aims: "A Middle East without Zionism" (Jews).

Torture in the Middle East - Doesn't it get you angry? Get out the demonstrators folks, polish up the posters - they're violating human rights again in the Middle East. Oops - not the Zionists this time.

Jewish state for Jewish people - A simple idea: The Jewish people get a Jewish state. A program for Progressive Zionism - Progressive Zionist organizations should be defending Progressive Zionism, not joining the chorus of voices delegitimizing Israel.

Broadening US Jewish participation - American groups that support Israel should represent the entire spectrum of Zionist opinion, including progressive Zionists, but they can't include anti-Zionists.
