Diferencia entre revisiones de «Sionismo»

El término ''sionismo'' deriva de la palabra [[Sion (Jerusalén)|Sion]] (del {{lang-he-n|ציון}}, uno de los nombres [[Biblia|bíblicos]] de [[Jerusalén]]). Este nombre se refiere inicialmente al [[Monte Sión]], una montaña cerca de Jerusalén, y a la fortaleza de [[Sion]] en la misma. Más tarde, durante el reinado del [[Rey David]], el término "Sion" se convirtió en una [[sinécdoque]] para referirse a toda la ciudad de Jerusalén y a la Tierra de Israel. En muchos versículos bíblicos, los [[israelitas]] fueron llamados ''el pueblo'', ''hijos o hijas de Sión''.

 

*"... behind the cover of "anti-Zionism" lurks a variety of motives that ought to be called by their true name. When, in the 1950s under Stalin, the Jews of the Soviet Union came under severe attack and scores were executed, it was under the banner of anti-Zionism rather than anti-Semitism, which had been given a bad name by Adolf Hitler. When in later years the policy of Israeli governments was attacked as racist or colonialist in various parts of the world, the basis of the criticism was quite often the belief that Israel had no right to exist in the first place, not opposition to specific policies of the Israeli government. Traditional anti-Semitism has gone out of fashion in the West except on the extreme right. But something we might call post-anti-Semitism has taken its place. It is less violent in its aims, but still very real. By and large it has not been too difficult to differentiate between genuine and bogus anti-Zionism. The test is twofold. It is almost always clear whether the attacks are directed against a specific policy carried out by an Israeli government (for instance, as an occupying power) or against the existence of Israel. Secondly, there is the test of selectivity. If from all the evils besetting the world, the misdeeds, real or imaginary, of Zionism are singled out and given constant and relentless publicity, it can be taken for granted that the true motive is not anti-Zionism but something different and more sweeping."

*"In late July 1967, Moscow launched an unprecedented propaganda campaign against Zionism as a "world threat." Defeat was attributed not to tiny Israel alone, but to an "all-powerful international force." ... In its flagrant vulgarity, the new propaganda assault soon achieved Nazi-era characteristics. The Soviet public was saturated with racist canards. Extracts from Trofim Kichko's notorious 1963 volume, ''Judaism Without Embellishment'', were extensively republished in the Soviet media. Yuri Ivanov's ''Beware: Zionism'', a book essentially replicated ''[[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion]]'', was given nationwide coverage."
