True Zionism is a complex notion!
An article in The Jerusalem Post:
My comment:
I fully agree that Israel has to win this war without any compromises. But the success of “Zionism” does not depend on this war alone.
“true Zionism” is much deeper and much more complex than Jews living in the Land of Israel in safety.
“True Zionism” means Jews living in the Land of Israel in a safe and prosperous way as a result of rebuilding and maintaining the unique, “supernatural” — above and against the instinctively self-serving, self-justifying, exploitative, and hateful human nature — unity and mutual guarantee the original Nation of Israel was built on when we have become a Nation.
It is this unity and mutual guarantee that can guarantee our safety and success since it is the incessantly awakening “unfounded hatred” and infighting that weakens us and emboldens our enemies to attack us in Israel and to attack Jews all over the world.
Moreover, this “true Zionism” is not only for our own sake.
Israel has to become a true nation based on and strengthened by true unity and mutual guarantee in the Land of Israel in order to show a crucially necessary positive example to others on how to survive against our instinctive human nature.
This is the main purpose of Zionism!
