Zionist Quotes
The need for Zionism
"The Jews comprise a distinctive element among the nations under which they dwell, and as such can neither assimilate nor be readily digested by any nation"
- Leon Pinsker.
Zionist Dreams
"At Basle, I founded the Jewish State. If I said this out loud today, I would be answered by universal laughter. If not in 5 years, certainly in 50, everyone will know it."
- Theodor Herzl, 1897 Diaries.
Jews and Arabs a Zionist view
"When modern technique is introduced, and when the other obstacles are removed, there will be sufficient land to accommodate both the Jews and the Arabs. Normal relations between the Jews and Arabs will and must prevail"
- Ber Borochov, 1917
Israel as a spiritual center
"This Jewish settlement, which will be a gradual growth, will become in course of time the centre of the nation, wherein its spirit will find pure expression and develop in all its aspects up to the highest degree of perfection of which it is capable"
- Achad Ha'am
Socialist Zionist view
"The proclamation of human rights emancipated the Jews, with striking suddenness, from their medieval servitude and granted them civil and political equality... the Jews were accidentally liberated by the triumph of the principle of equality...The millennial Jewish condition of servitude came to an end; the wound that had been festering within Jewry since the fall of Jerusalem began to heal with the fall of the Bastille."
- Nachman Syrkin, The Jewish Problem and the Socialist Jewish State, 1898
Longing for Zion
"By the waters of Babylon, there we sat down and wept when we remembered Zion. On the willows there we hung up our lyres"
Psalms 137, 1-2.
Remember Jerusalem
"If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand wither, let my tongue cleave to my palate if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy."
Psalms (137, 5-7).
Zionist & Israel History
Love of Zion in Jewish History, from the Bar Kochba revolt in 135 CE we trace the history of Zionism to the establishment of the state of Israel and beyond.
Our history looks at Jewish Emancipation and the French Revolution, the connections of both Ashkenazy Jews and Sephardic Jews with Israel while in exile, Zionists leaders such as Moses Hess, Leon Pinsker, Theodor Herzl and Arthur Ruppin. We look at the history of Israel before, during and after Israel's war of independence. The history of the British Mandate of Palestine is examined including the white paper. The first, secodn, third, fourth and fifth Aliya are explained. We then look at the Holocaust and it's impact on Israel. The history of the Arab-Israeli wars and the rise of Anti-Zionists is discussed.

Israel Facts
There is a split amoungst both Israelis and visitors. You either prefer Jerusalem with its history, religion and government centers, or Tel Aviv a modern city on the sea that never sleeps. The two cities are a short bus ride away, yet a world a apart.
Luxury Apartments in Jerusalem, Israel, are very popular. Many wealthy people keep a property in Jerusalem. This has driven property prices beyond the reach of many in the local work force who commute in each day.
As an ancient city Israel has coins and antiques from the worlds great civilisations. You can buy an authentic Roman Bronze coin, dug from an archaeological site in Israel. Building projects in Jerusalem often come to a stop as archaeological finds are made.
"While there are honorable Anti-Zionist positions they are few. On the whole Anti-Zionism is close to, or a mask for, Anti-Semitism."
by John Strawson re: the 2005 UK Boycott of Israeli Universities

Archbishop Tutu, please be fair
Maurice Ostroff reports on Archbishop Desmond Tutu's appointment as head of the UN fact-finding mission into the deaths of Palestinians at Beit Hanun. While finding the decision a logical choice in light of his record as chairman of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Committee, Maurice questions if he can overcome his long held anti-Israel bias, a result of historic links between Tutu's ANC and the Palestinians PLO. He highlights the critical differences Tutu should consider between the South African and Palestinian situations.
Under attack online?
In an interesting twist, a website called Electronic Jihad has been launched to coordinating Hacker Jihad using a tools they've developed. The tool allows supporters to take part in DDOS attacks... but also allows law enforcement to monitor them and may lead to some arrests.

Team-Evil Arab hackers
A ZionismOnTheWeb Special Archive
By August 2006 this anti-Israel hacker group had taken down over 750 Israeli servers, and not content had started targetting Jewish servers mentioning Zionism. Our blogs and the forums
were attacked a number of times. Together with an Israeli computer security company we tracked the hackers activities and tools. You can read about it in the Team Evil case Study(mirror).
You can also see our initial story on Team Evil or post your own experience in the
Hacked Topic in our Zionism forums.

What do Jewish people have fear from google? The fact that antisemitic material keep appearing at the top of google is not due to a compaign of racist hate, at least not by Google itself. However there is a problem and the Jewish community needs to wake up to it, or internet could grow.
