Zionism

ENGZionism is one of the most controversial ideologies in the world. Its supporters laud its success at liberating the Jewish people after millennia of persecution and at securing the creation of Israel. But to its opponents, Zionism relies on a racist ideology culminating in Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories and is one of the last manifestations of colonial oppression in the world. Michael Stanislawski presents an impartial and disinterested history of Zionist ideology from its origins to the present. Stanislawski's balanced analysis illuminates why, despite the undeniable success in its goal of creating a Jewish state, profound questions remain today about the long-term viability of Zionist ideology in a rapidly destabilizing Middle East.RUS . . , , , . . , , , , - .
