Deutsche Debatte über Israel: Kritik an der Ideologie, die zur Gründung Israels führte, gilt in Deutschland als heikel. Da hilft ein Blick in die USA
Kürzlich lernte ich einen älteren Israeli kennen; er hatte seine Heimat „wegen des Genozids“, wie er sagte, verlassen und bezeichnete sich als Antizionisten. Als ich ihn fragte, ob es nicht ausreiche, Post- oder Nichtzionist zu sein, erklärte er mir, all dies seien Stadien in seinem Leben gewesen, in einem viele Jahre währenden Prozess.
Der Zionismus ist Israels Staatsideologie geworden. Das definiert ihn nicht hinreichend, doch lässt sich vernünftigerweise im Jahr 2026 nicht über Zionismus sprechen unter Auslassung der gegenwärtigen israelischen Staats-, Parlaments- und Kriegspolitik. Es ergibt also Sinn, auf einen „real existierenden Zionismus“ zu fokussieren, wie es in einem Text der Linkspartei Niedersachsen heißt.
Gewiss gab es in der Frühphase des Zionismus eine Pluralität von Zielen und Werten. Die binational Denkenden hatten bedeutende Intellektuelle wie Martin Buber, doch blieben faktisch eine Minderheit ohne Einfluss. Und zwei gedankliche Elemente fanden sich mehr oder minder akzentuiert bereits in allen vorstaatlichen Strömungen: die Idee jüdischer Überlegenheit gegenüber den arabischen Einheimischen und der Traum von einem Großisrael im gesamten historischen Palästina oder darüber hinaus. Louis Brandeis, der 1941 verstorbene erste jüdische Richter am Obersten Gerichtshof der Vereinigten Staaten, wollte zum Beispiel Teile Jordaniens für den künftigen Staat Israel.
Es gibt also Linien von Kontinuität zum radikalisierten und territorial expansiven Ethnonationalismus unserer Tage, der liberalere Elemente von Zionismus abgeworfen hat wie Sandsäcke. Die Historikerin Tamar Amar-Dahl prägte dafür den Begriff „Neozionismus“.
Der Elefant im Raum
In Deutschland ignoriert man gern diesen Elefanten im Raum. Obwohl im Namen des Zionismus viel Unrecht begangen wurde, können sich nichtjüdische Deutsche problemlos zu Zionisten erklären, während selbst jüdischen Antizionisten Extremismus oder Antisemitismus unterstellt wird. Zionismuskritik oder -gegnerschaft sind heute sogar heikler als zu einer Zeit, als Israel selbst noch liberaler war. Anders gesagt: Je mehr sich Zionismus ethnokratisch zeigt, desto schwieriger wird die Kritik. Dies lässt sich nur mit deutschen Psychodynamiken erklären: Als würde es von historischer Schuld erlösen, Zionismus zu lieben.
Es ist wichtig, historische Kontextualität im Blick zu behalten. Ob der Zionismus ohne den Holocaust überlebt hätte, ist fraglich. Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts betrachteten die meisten Juden/Jüdinnen Theodor Herzls Projekt skeptisch oder ablehnend; ohne den Aufstieg des europäischen Antisemitismus wäre der Zionismus möglicherweise in Bedeutungslosigkeit versunken, meint der Historiker Michael Brenner.
Zweifellos war Europas Kolonialpolitik Geburtshelfer des Zionismus, aber ihn ausschließlich als Siedlerkolonialismus zu erklären, ist intellektuell dürftig. Der palästinensische Philosoph Raef Zreik drückte es so aus: „Der Zionismus ist ein siedlungskoloniales Projekt, aber nicht allein das. Er verbindet das Bild des Flüchtlings mit dem Bild des Soldaten, des Ohnmächtigen mit dem Mächtigen, des Opfers mit dem Verfolger.“ Die historische Dualität anzuerkennen, rechtfertigt weder die Nakba noch die israelische Besetzung.
Der Historiker Omer Bartov spricht in seinem neuen Buch „Israel: What went wrong?“ (zu Deutsch: Israel, was ist schiefgelaufen) von einer „tragischen Transformation“ des Zionismus in eine Ideologie von Militarismus und letztlich Genozid. Wer Zionismus heute noch unterstütze, sei Komplize seiner Verbrechen. „Der Zionismus ist nicht reformierbar.
Ein neuer Bruch unter Juden und Jüdinnen
Die These ist provokativ, doch im Kontext der USA, wo Bartov lehrt, keineswegs entlegen. In der Bevölkerung hat sich zunehmend ein negatives Israelbild verbreitet, in der Wählerschaft der Demokraten bereits bei 80 Prozent, ergab eine Umfrage des Pew Research Center. Und auch unter US-Juden und US-Jüdinnen wächst Distanz zu Israel, zumal bei den Jüngeren. Viele sahen im Gazakrieg Kriegsverbrechen, manche sogar Völkermord.
Das Magazin The New Yorker beschrieb jüngst im Detail die spannungsgeladene Atmosphäre in Synagogen: „Uneinigkeit über Gaza und Zionismus zerteilt die Gemeinden.“ Die Chefredakteurin der Zeitschrift Jewish Currents, Arielle Angel, spricht von einem „epochalen Umbruch“: die Suche nach einem Judentum, das nicht mehr Israel und Zionismus zum Zentrum habe, sondern jüdische Traditionen von Gerechtigkeit. Es entstehen nichtzionistische Gebetsgruppen und Lesekreise.
Nach einer Substack-Analyse von Shaul Magid, Harvard-Professor für Jüdische Studien, ist der zionistische Konsens unter US-Juden, wie er seit 1967 bestand, zerbrochen. Gaza habe „wie ein Skalpell ins Herz des Judentums geschnitten“. Es gelte nun, „eine Postkonsensusrealität“ zu gestalten; Zionismus sei nicht am Ende, aber könne nur überleben, „wenn es Raum auch für sein Gegenteil gibt“. Wie auf einem Marktplatz jüdischer Ideen, sagt Magid.
Dies wäre ein Umbruch mit weitreichenden Konsequenzen. Denn eine wachsende politische Kluft zwischen den beiden Hauptgruppen des weltweiten Judentums, in den USA und in Israel, könnte den Rahmen für eine israelisch-palästinensische Zukunft neu abstecken. Über ein Modell gleicher Bürgerrechte für alle in einer (wie immer gearteten) Einstaatenlösung nachzudenken, ist in den USA nicht so extrem randständig wie in Israel und Deutschland. In diesem Modell würde der zionistische Grundsatz, die Bevölkerungsmehrheit im Staat zu stellen, aufgegeben.
Darum findet es im offiziellen Deutschland keinerlei Resonanz. Wer nicht an jüdischer Suprematie festhält, macht sich bei uns verdächtig. Eine missverstandene Lehre aus dem Holocaust – zumal zu einer Zeit, da eine Todesstrafe nur für Palästinenser die Höherwertigkeit jüdischen Lebens zum Gesetz macht.

Intro to ‘Zionism Explained’
Intro by John R. Houk, Blog Editor
Intro © April 16, 2026
A person going by the pseudonym Hottentot posted an EXCELLENT explanation of Zionism at Free Speech Backlash entitled, “Zionism Explained”. Hottentot explains the secular origins of Zionism while debunking connections to Marxism and debunking connections to Jewish Banking Oligarchs ruling the world.
Theodor Herzl Jewish State Zionism Vision (Der Judenstaat is German for The Jewish State)
This is a post certain to bring the dedicated and/or brainwashed (via debunked lies) Jew-Haters out if the woodwork like cockroaches no longer fearing to be exposed for their irrational racism. I’ve learned long ago one cannot reason with Jew-Hatred with facts and truth. So if the comments come in the typical profanity or even watered down reasoning based on lies I will not respond and where I can – I will delete Antisemitic hatred.
For my part I am a part of increasingly vilified Christian Zionists that believe the restoration of Israel as a nation and the return those who practice Judaism to their Promised Land is on sign the Return of Jesus is sooner than later. One can read Matthew 24 in any Biblical translation (well the translations trying to be faithful to the original language rather than the politically watered down versions) and read current events to the signs beginning to manifest.
Hottentot does not address any Biblical purpose for Zionism. He (I think) sticks to Theodor Herzl’s secular vision of a nation for Jews to live free from persecution whether or not those Jews were religious Observant Jews or secular Jews by heritage with no religious inclination whatsoever.

Theodor Herzl Jewish State Zionism Vision (FSB Photo)
On reading Iain Huter’s excellent article on his laws of politics, in which he equated Zionism with Marxism and Globalism, I decided to write this in repost. Yes, Jews have been involved in Globalism, but so have the English, Scottish and Americans, yet we hear nothing about the evils of Angloism. It would, of course, be foolish to make an issue out of it, but it is no less foolish to think that Zionism is evil just because a few Jews have been involved in the conspiracy against the nation state.
I have a confession: I have Jewish blood. Secular, but Jewish by heritage. But I can trace parts of my family in England back to Cromwell’s time, and my family members fought in the Boer War, The Great War, The Second World War and Korea, so regard myself as British as anyone. I know a lot of Jews, of all types, and they are like anyone else, good, bad, indifferent, some fervently support Israel, some oppose, some just want to get on with their lives and don’t really care, but none I know think of Zionism as an evil force out to dominate the world.
Zionism, at its heart, is the simple and profoundly human assertion that the Jewish people – like any other nation with a shared history, language, culture and ancient homeland – possess the right to live in sovereignty and security in the land that shaped their identity more than three thousand years ago. Far from the shadowy global conspiracy it is so often painted as, Zionism emerged in the late nineteenth century as a practical, often desperate answer to centuries of persecution. It was never about ruling the world, nor about banks or oligarchs; it was about dignity, refuge and renewal. And in that respect it has proved, on balance, a force for good, one that rescued a people from near-extinction, built a thriving democracy in a punishing neighbourhood, and generated innovations that have enriched the lives of millions far beyond Israel’s borders.
To understand Zionism one must begin with its principal architect, Theodor Herzl. A thoroughly assimilated Viennese journalist and playwright, Herzl had once believed that Jews could simply melt into European society. The Dreyfus Affair in France in 1894 shattered that illusion. Watching a Jewish officer falsely accused of treason while mobs chanted “Death to the Jews!”, Herzl realised that assimilation would never suffice. In his seminal pamphlet Der Judenstaat (The Jewish State), published in 1896, he set out a vision that was resolutely modern and liberal. He imagined a democratic republic, complete with a flag, a national anthem and a constitution that guaranteed equal rights for all citizens, Jew and non-Jew alike. The state would be financed not by shadowy financiers but by a public subscription open to every Jew; land would be purchased openly and legally. Herzl even proposed that the new country should become “a light unto the nations”, a model of progress and tolerance. He drew explicit inspiration from the great European nation-states of his day – the very same patriotic traditions that forged modern Britain, France and the United States.
Indeed, Zionism is no different in principle from the British belief in the sovereign integrity of the United Kingdom, the French attachment to la patrie, or the American conviction that the United States is the natural homeland of a people bound by shared values and history. Each of those nations emerged from a longing for self-determination after centuries of foreign domination or religious persecution. The British fought for parliamentary sovereignty and the rule of law; the French for liberté, égalité, fraternité; the Americans for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Zionism simply applied the same universal principle to the Jewish people: the right of a historic nation to govern itself in its ancestral home. Herzl admired the British constitutional monarchy and the American republic; he wanted Jews to enjoy the same normalcy that Britons, Frenchmen and Americans took for granted.
It is this straightforward nationalist impulse that has been twisted beyond recognition. We are told, for instance, that Zionism is somehow responsible for “all the troubles of the world”. This is an old libel dressed in new clothes – a cousin to the medieval blood accusation or the forged Protocols of the Elders of Zion. The notion that a small nation of nine million people, most of them refugees or their children, could orchestrate every war, economic crisis and social ill is historically absurd. The world’s great conflicts – the two world wars, the rise of communism and fascism, colonial rivalries, religious extremism – all had their own origins long before modern Zionism appeared. Israel’s own wars have been defensive responses to repeated attempts at its annihilation, from the 1948 invasion by five Arab armies to the terror campaigns of recent decades. To blame Zionism for unrelated tragedies in Ukraine, Sudan or Latin America is to indulge in the oldest of distractions: scapegoating a vulnerable minority instead of confronting harder truths about human nature and ideology.
Equally unfounded is the claim that Zionism is merely Marxism in disguise, or some form of “rule by banks and oligarchy”. Early Labour Zionists did experiment with voluntary communal farms – the kibbutzim – to drain swamps and make the desert bloom, but these were practical enterprises, not instruments of global class warfare. Herzl himself was a bourgeois liberal who admired Bismarck’s Germany and sought alliances with capitalist powers. The state that emerged in 1948 was social-democratic in tone at first, yet quickly embraced market economics; today Israel is a high-tech capitalist dynamo with low unemployment, vibrant stock exchanges and more start-ups per capita than anywhere else on earth. Its economy is powered by inventors and military veterans turned entrepreneurs, not inherited banking dynasties. The Rothschild family offered modest philanthropic help in the early days, as philanthropists do, but the bulk of Zionist funding came from small donations dropped into the Jewish National Fund’s blue boxes by ordinary Jews across the world. [Blog Editor Bold Text Emphasis] Israel ranks consistently as a full democracy in every reputable index, with regular elections, independent courts, a raucous free press and Arab parties sitting in the Knesset. If anything, Zionism liberated Jews from the old European model of dependence on royal favour or financial niches by creating a normal, self-reliant nation.
Nor is Zionism a tool designed simply to “demonise Israel”. Legitimate criticism of any government’s policies is healthy; what is unhealthy is the unique standard applied to the Jewish state alone. While far bloodier regimes elsewhere attract far less outrage, Israel’s right to exist is routinely questioned in polite company. Yet the record shows the opposite of demonic intent. Zionism took the remnants of a shattered people – Holocaust survivors and the 800,000 Jews driven from Arab lands – and forged them into a vibrant, open society. It is the Middle East’s only liberal democracy, offering legal protections for women, LGBTQ citizens and religious minorities that are unimaginable in most neighbouring countries. Successive Israeli governments have offered land-for-peace agreements – the 1947 UN partition, the 2000 Camp David summit, the 2008 Olmert plan – only to be met with rejection. The Abraham Accords of 2020, normalising relations with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan, demonstrate what Zionism can achieve when the other side chooses pragmatism: peace treaties, trade and technological cooperation.
The good that Zionism has wrought is concrete and measurable. It rescued millions: Holocaust survivors, Ethiopian Jews airlifted in Operations Moses and Solomon, Soviet émigrés, Yemenite Jews. Without it, the Jewish people might not have survived the twentieth century as a coherent nation. Its pioneers transformed malaria-ridden swamps and barren desert into fertile fields through drip irrigation – a technology now used by farmers in India, Africa and California. Israel desalinates eighty per cent of its water and exports expertise to water-scarce nations. Israeli scientists have pioneered treatments for multiple sclerosis, cardiac stents and cancer immunotherapy; Teva Pharmaceuticals supplies affordable generics worldwide. Israel boasts one of the highest ratios of Nobel laureates per capita, its discoveries benefiting every continent. Technologies such as Waze, Mobileye and much of the world’s cybersecurity originated there, sold openly on the global market. And despite its own security burdens, Israel has sent disaster-relief teams to earthquakes in Turkey, Nepal, Haiti and Mexico, and provided medical aid to Syrian civilians even while under fire.
In the end, Zionism is simply the Jewish people’s expression of the same patriotic faith in sovereign self-determination that Britons, Frenchmen and Americans have long cherished. It has had its flaws and its tragic wartime trade-offs, as every national movement has. But the historical ledger shows it has been overwhelmingly a story of renewal, creativity and decency. A world with more such self-reliant, innovative and tolerant nations – not fewer – is a better world. Zionism has helped build one.

Ich liebs einfach und ich weiß, dass es all den #Antisemiten einfach mächtig gegen den Strich gehen wird, denn #Israel wird, auch wenn sie es sich wünschen, nicht untergehen.
Nicht, weil der Staat Israel der "bessere Staat" ist, nein, sondern weil die Menschen, die diesen Staat bilden, resilient und stark sind, sein müssen, und dabei nie ihren Humor verloren haben! -
Netanyahu ha parlato dei fiumi e dei laghi iraniani che si riempiranno nuovamente, di passeggiate mano nella mano lungo le loro rive. Tutto questo non è un sogno, ha assicurato, perché accadrà domani o dopodomani.
«Che repressione. Che crudeltà», ha sospirato con angoscia il Martin Luther King di Balfour Street a Gerusalemme.
"Vi esorto ad essere audaci e coraggiosi, ad osare sognare. Correte dei rischi per la libertà. Per il vostro futuro. Per le vostre famiglie… Scendete in piazza. Chiedete giustizia… Protestate contro la tirannia… E sappiate questo: non siete soli… Israele è con voi. L'intero mondo libero è con voi“, ha assicurato il primo ministro israeliano…
”Iran baraye Irani (l'Iran per gli iraniani).
#TheodorHerzl ha detto: ‘Se lo volete, non è un sogno’, e io vi dico: se lo volete, un Iran libero non è un sogno". ⬇️4 -

Donald Trumps »Riviera-Plan« hat eine lange Vorgeschichte. Die Vertreibung der Palästinenser galt einigen zionistischen Vordenkern als Option. Ein israelischer Premier sagte sogar: »Ich will, dass sie alle gehen, und sei es auf den Mond«.#DonaldTrump #Gazastreifen #Israel #Palästina #Hamas #Westjordanland #USA #BenjaminNetanyahu #TheodorHerzl

rashid khalidi, “palestina” (laterza): in uscita e già prenotabile
Nel 1899 il sindaco di Gerusalemme, Yusuf Diya al-Khalidi, rimase molto colpito dalla richiesta del movimento sionista di creare in Palestina un focolare nazionale ebraico. Si decise a scrivere una lettera proprio al fondatore del sionismo, Theodor Herzl, e lo avvertì dei pericoli che si sarebbero presentati. Concluse la sua nota dicendo: «In nome di Dio, lasciate in pace la Palestina». È così che Rashid Khalidi, pronipote di al-Khalidi, inizia questa ampia storia, il primo resoconto generale del conflitto raccontato da una prospettiva esplicitamente palestinese. Attingendo a una grande quantità di materiali d’archivio e ai resoconti di generazioni di membri della sua famiglia – sindaci, giudici, studiosi, diplomatici e giornalisti – Khalidi ribalta le interpretazioni accettate del conflitto, che tendono, nella migliore delle ipotesi, a descrivere un tragico scontro tra due popoli che rivendicano lo stesso territorio. Questo libro ripercorre invece cento anni di guerra coloniale contro i palestinesi, condotta prima dal movimento sionista e poi da Israele, ma sostenuta da Gran Bretagna e Stati Uniti, le grandi potenze dell’epoca. Originale, autorevole e importante, “Palestina” non è una cronaca vittimistica, né tralascia gli errori dei leader palestinesi. Piuttosto, analizzando in dettaglio le forze che si sono schierate contro i palestinesi, offre una nuova visione illuminante di un conflitto che continua ancora oggi.
