The "father" of political Zionism, Theodore Herzl (1860-1904), ... was a Viennese, emancipated, secular journalist...

It seems a bitter irony that a movement that initially saw itself as progressive, liberal and secular should find itself in an alliance with, and held to ransom by, the most illiberal reactionary forces. ...

Nowadays the deliberate blurring of the distinction between Zionism and Judaism, which includes a rewriting of ancient as well as modern history, is exploited to stifle any criticism of Israel's policies and actions...

I fear that unless and until Israel is judged by the same criteria as other modern states (ET- as zionists originally proposed), this is unlikely to change.
