Zionism, Palestine & the Spirit of the Warsaw Ghetto lark.phoblacht.net "But how did it develop that the descendants of those who suffered such unspeakable horror under fascism could contemplate the brutality now being inflicted, with such enthusiasm, upon dispossessed Palestinians? The answer lies in the triumph of Zionism as an ideology that would come to dominate world Jewry in the aftermath of the Holocaust. Israel’s rulers today proclaim their “Jewish homeland” the realization of a centuries-old longing for a return to Palestine, but in actual fact Zionism remained, well into the twentieth century, a messianic strain confined to a small minority of Jews: the vast majority of Jews (90% of whom resided in Europe and Russia) looked to assimilation on the basis of equality, and not physical separation, as a solution to their oppression. Many fought alongside non-Jews in the left-wing and working class movements in central and eastern Europe and viewed the Zionists as a crackpot, reactionary cult without any serious prospects for success."
