Zionism—the nationalist movement calling for the establishment and support of an independent Jewish state in its ancient homeland—is one of the world’s most controversial ideologies. Its supporters see it as the national liberation movement of the Jewish people that came to fruition in the creation of the State of Israel in 1948. Its opponents regard it as one of the last forms of colonial oppression in the world, defined by Israel’s occupation of the West Bank in the name of a racist ideology increasingly turning Israel into an apartheid state. “The Jews: Religion or Nation?” outlines the aims of this VSI, which does not promote any particular position on Zionism.

IN SPITE of a short period of sovereignty— less than 7 years—the State of Israel is playing an important role in matters pertaining not only to the Middle East but, in some respects, in matters of importance to the whole world. In medicine the advances in Israel have been no less striking than the progress made in other fields. It is felt that the pediatricians of our country might be interested to learn about Israel's medical status, particularly pertaining to pediatrics. Palestine, of which the present Israel is a part, was in Old Testament times known as Canaan or Philistia because of the tribes which lived there. Palestine was the home of the Jewish people from the time Joshua conquered the land, about 1400 B.C., until the Romans destroyed the Jewish State in the year 70 A.D. Around 630 A.D. the country came under Moslem power. From 1516 to the end of World War I Palestine was a part of the Turkish Empire. In 1917, the British Government issued the famous Balfour Declaration which promised the Jews of the world that they could build a national homeland in Palestine. The League of Nations made the land a British mandate in 1920. From then until World War II Palestine was at several occasions plunged into violent civil war between the Jews and the Arabs. After World War II in 1947 Great Britain announced a decision to give up the Mandate.

Viewed from its widest angle, the dormant but still unsettled question of the internationalization of Jerusalem is, in reality, a struggle between the Holy See and the Jewish state. Thus one protagonist will inform the United Nations that “the Catholic body throughout the world…will not be contented with a mere internationalization of the Holy Places in Jerusalem” and the other will proclaim to the Israeli Parliament that “for the state of Israel there is, has been and always will be one capital only, Jerusalem, the Eternal”. Since 1947 the Vatican has directed a campaign designed to make unmistakably clear to Israel and the UN that nothing less than the complete territorial internationalization of Jerusalem would be satisfactory; with equal steadfastness has Israel maintained her claim to sovereignty over the entire New City of Jerusalem.

State Of Israel

The question of Palestine (and the city of Jerusalem) is a core issue that remains at the centre of the Muslim mind in our time. This is because most Muslims feel that the Zionist Movement created the State of Israel in Palestine after World War II by depriving the local population of their fundamental right to exist in their ancestral homeland. The global Zionist Movement conspired, resorted to terrorist tactics and executed an ethnic cleansing campaign to create the State of Israel. The Zionists first secured the support of British politicians and then the American leaders in favour of their search for an exclusive Jewish state covering the entirety of the former British Mandate of Palestine. Although the Palestinians – like Muslims in various parts of the world – quickly developed a national consciousness in the inter-war period and tried to protect their fundamental rights, they were no match for the Zionists who had already secured the support of major powers of the globe (e.g. Britain and the US). Later, Israel managed to obtain UN membership in its third attempt with the commitment to allow all Palestinians to return to their ancestral home. But in practice, Israel has ignored all UN resolutions regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel has gradually developed a legal framework to deny the citizenship rights of the original population of Palestine and continues to build new Jewish settlements by demolishing Palestinian homes. While the Palestinians continue to suffer under Israeli repression, the OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation) and most Muslim governments have largely abandoned the Palestinian cause of liberation. This, in turn, frustrates much of the Muslim youth around the world – fuelling fundamentalism and extremism.

The study is devoted to the problem-thematic spectrum of the program body of the OUN «Rozbudova Natsii» - a magazine that became one of the main print bodies of the Ukrainian national liberation movement in the interwar period. The study considers the magazine «Rozbudova Natsii» as a nationalist publication in the international light, since the journal was added by publicists from different parts of the world. Information about the format and content is collected. The author analyzes the features of the publication's structure, thematic ranges, as well as genre and stylistic specifics. The content role of «Rozbudova Natsii» in the organization of the Congress of Ukrainian nationalists is investigated. It is shown that most of the important socio-political situations that occurred in the 20-30s and related to the Ukrainian issue were considered in «Rozbudova Natsii». In the end, it was concluded that the «Rozbudova Natsii» program is the idea of nationalism, the idea of freeing the native country from the invaders and the development of an independent Ukrainian state. The struggle for independence, which must be carried out by any means, including revolutionary ones, is decisive in this context.

For Heidegger in the Black Notebooks, the West is bringing itself to an end, in oblivion, decline, and devastation. This end is understood ontologically also as the possibility of a beginning, an end that “comes about” both from within and from without. This thinking of a coming devastation of the world has an anti-Semitic motif inscribed within it, insofar as the Jewish people are the driving force of decline and groundlessness. For the end/beginning to come about, the Jewish people must suppress itself, must exclude itself. One finds a similar argument already in Kant, who speaks of the “euthanasia of Judaism.”

After the war and Holocaust, Weil dedicated herself to the restoration of the Jewish people in Palestine. She took state leadership positions in the North Carolina Association of Jewish Women. She remained a Temple lady, a congregational activist teaching Sunday school and worshipping on the Sabbath, but she retained a questioning, universalistic outlook on religious questions. In a series of credos she wrote and spoke on What Judaism Means to Me, delineating a prophetic ethic reflective of German idealism but still affirming Jewish peoplehood. As a member of Hadassah and the Zionist Organization of America, she was a benefactor of the budding state of Israel which she visited in 1951 and 1962, returning to Goldsboro as a public advocate for the Jewish State.

The Mandate for Palestine has a unique character regarding both its beneficiaries, the Jewish people, wherever they live, and the obligations of the Mandatory power. At the same time it has been a burdensome stone right from the beginning. Representatives of Palestinian Arabs have rejected it as being incompatible with their right to self-determination. The policies of Great Britain, the Mandatory power, show a gradual departure from its obligations. The establishment of the Jewish national home became, instead of the primary obligation, just one of the duties of equal weight and content as others under the Mandate. Following the establishment of the State of Israel, the relevance of the mandatory system in the light of Article 80 of the UN Charter has been recognised, inter alia, by the International Court of Justice. The unique character of the Palestine Mandate, however, has been kept under wraps. Some academic writings and legal actions by the Palestinians now offer a radical revisionism, which uses the Mandate as the legal basis for a Palestinian state. This trend is not without consequences for the recognition of Israel as a Jewish state and for the right of the Palestinians to self-determination.

Zionist Organization

The arrival of Jews in Palestine since 1882 changed the order of life of the Palestinian people. Jews began to buy land from Palestinians with the aim of mastering all Palestinian land in the future. This mastery is carried out to realize the ideals of establishing a Jews country that has been proclaimed by The World Zionist Organization. The achievement of control of Palestinian land became apparent when the Ottoman Government in Palestine was defeated and turned into British hands. In 1917, Britain gave way to the Zionist Organization by signing the Balfour Declaration which gave permission to them to make Palestine a homeland. In three decades, the Zionist Organization succeeded in annexing Palestine and making it a Jewish state called Israel. The establishment of the state of Israel became a tragedy to the Palestinians. Arab poets have resisted since the signing of the Balfour Declaration until the tragedy of Israel's annexation of Palestine with their poems. Literary works, in the theory of adab almuqawamah, were written to arouse the spirit of resistance of a nation against colonialism. Arab poets through their poems warn of the adverse consequences of the Balfour Declaration for Palestine. Their poetry is also to arouse the fighting spirit of the Palestinian people against Israel.

The article of the leading Tunisian historian, specialist in the national liberation movement and the fate of the Jewish community of Tunisia, Habib Kazdaghli analyses the three monuments dedicated to the victims of world wars, erected at the Borgel cemetery, the largest Jewish cemetery in the city of Tunisia. The article looks into the place of the monuments in the architectural complex of the cemetery, the circumstances of their construction, examines how their architecture reflected the specificity of the ethno-political development of the Jewish community and the peculiarities of the modernization processes. The author uses extensive material from the Tunisian Jewish press, which previously rarely presented the subject of academic research, as well as epigraphic materials. In the analysis of the monument dedicated to the Jews who died during the First World War, the author notes that its construction testified to the formation in the Jewish community of a non-religious cult of honouring the memory of the dead. At the same time, analysis of the monuments to victims of forced labour camps and deportations shows that their very erection placed the Jewish community of Tunisia in a broader historical and political context, making its tragedy a part of the global tragedy of the Jewish people and all humanity as a whole. It also linked the fate of Tunisian Jewry with the fate of European Jewry and, first of all, French Jewry, which acquired a special political meaning in the context of the national liberation movement and the processes of decolonization that unfolded after World War II.
