معاداة الصهيونية

Anti-Zionism | Book Description Benjamin Moser, author of Sontag, provides us with an in-depth and documented history of anti-Zionist Jews from the nineteenth century to the present day. For more than a century, Zionism has been seen as an integral part of Jewish identity, a natural response to anti-Semitism, exile and genocide. But in his book Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History, Pulitzer Prize winner Benjamin Moser reveals a Jewish oppositional heritage that has been largely obscured. This influential book spans nearly two hundred years, tracing the lives of rabbis, writers, and thinkers from around the world who viewed Zionism not as liberation, but as a dangerous form of nationalism, a betrayal of Jewish moral values. Among the figures who challenged the prevailing narrative were figures such as Edwin Montagu, who condemned the Balfour Declaration, and Jacob Israel de Haan, who was assassinated because of his opposition to Zionism. Resisting them was often extremely costly, yet their warnings and principles remain highly relevant in today's divided political landscape. Moser writes with urgency and empathy. He does not reject Jewish identity, but rather reclaims a different heritage, one rooted in human rights, moral clarity, and bold dissent. At a moment of rising global tensions and increasing censorship, Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History opens a long-suppressed dialogue that continues to shape the present.
