Yet it trampled the rights of the Arabs in Palestine. Today it has become so controversial that it defies understanding and trumps reasoned public debate. So argues prominent British writer Jacqueline Rose, who uses her political and psychoanalytic skills in this book to take an unprecedented look at Zionism--one of the most powerful ideologies of modern times. Rose enters the inner world of the movement and asks a new set of questions. How did Zionism take shape as an identity? And why does it seem so immutable? Analyzing the messianic fervor of Zionism, she argues that it colors Israel's most profound self-image to this day. Rose also explores the message of dissidents, who, while believing themselves the true Zionists, warned at the outset against the dangers of statehood for the Jewish people. She suggests that these dissidents were prescient in their recognition of the legitimate claims of the Palestinian Arabs. In fact, she writes, their thinking holds the knowledge the Jewish state needs today in order to transform itself. In perhaps the most provocative part of her analysis, Rose proposes that the link between the Holocaust and the founding of the Jewish state, so often used to justify Israel's policies, needs to be rethought in terms of the shame felt by the first leaders of the nation toward their own European history. For anyone concerned with the conflict in Israel-Palestine, this timely book offers a unique understanding of Zionism as an unavoidable psychic and historical force. 606 $aZionism$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aZionism$xPsychological aspects 606 $aArab-Israeli conflict$xPsychological aspects 606 $aPalestinian Arabs$xCrimes against$zIsrael 606 $aPsychoanalysis$xPolitical aspects$zIsrael 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xInfluence 607 $aIsrael$xEthnic relations 615 0$aZionism$xHistory 615 0$aZionism$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aArab-Israeli conflict$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aPalestinian Arabs$xCrimes against 615 0$aPsychoanalysis$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xInfluence. 676 $a320.54/095694 686 $a89.29$2bcl 700 $aRose$b Jacqueline$0603318 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778221303321 996 $aThe question of Zion$93839336 997 $aUNINA
