Synopsis

Questioning Zionism offers a measured, historical critique of Zionist claims to Palestine, examining religious and political arguments alike.

This nonfiction work analyzes how Zionism has been understood and advanced, tracing its roots in religious thought and its evolution into a modern political movement. It situates the debate within the broader history of Palestine, the promises and tensions surrounding the Balfour Declaration, and the reactions of Arabs and other communities. The book presents a cautious, methodical view of competing narratives, inviting readers to weigh claims against historical context and civic justice.

• Explores Zionism as a religious and nationalist idea and its shift into a political program.
• Examines the intersection of international promises, colonial interests, and indigenous rights.
• Reviews diverse perspectives from Arab leaders, scholars, and observers on Palestine’s future.
• Provides a historically grounded critique aimed at clarifying the debates around statehood and belonging.

Ideal for readers of modern Middle East history, political thought, and comparative religion who want a careful, evidence-based view of Zionist claims and their implications.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Case Against Zionism

In this spirit of dark, chauvinistic, opportunistic, wire-pulling, subterfuging "diplomacy" was the Balfour Declaration conceived, and Palestine, under false pretenses, and contrary to all the principles for which the Allies fought, was given to a minority of acute nationalistic Jews to be the National Home of all Jewry!

The Balfour Declaration is a bit of clever underhanded diplomacy worthy of the shrewdest politician. During the World War it insured for the Allies the loyalty and financial support of the Jews all over the world, and assured England of a permanent suzerainty over the southern portion of Syria for the protection of the Suez Canal, which is the spinal cord of England's colonistic empire. The latter is accomplished in so far as Zionist aspirations can never be reconciled to the legitimate national rights of the Palestinians, and consequently there is going to be constant friction between them, and England will act the part of the innocent bystander and reconciler. The world, outside would regard England as a peace maker whose presence is necessary to secure peace in the land, but those who know the facts will say with the Arab poet:

"Oh thou who givest charity out of the
price of her body,
Woe unto thee! Commit thou not adultery,
nor givest to the poor."
