Zionist Theses and Anti-Theses
"When the Zionists first proposed, in 1897, to create a Jewish state in Palestine, they knew that they would have to find an imperialist sponsor and sell the idea to audiences in Europe and United States. Within a few years of its creation, the moral case for Israel had been sold like a Spielberg blockbuster. The Zionists had succeeded in presenting Israel as a small,
beleaguered but heroic country, defending Western values against
the onslaught of Islamic vandals. Next to the creation of Israel, the launching of this narrative has been the greatest triumph of
Zionism."
