countries to help us achieve this
big misison.
"We appeal to the parents to
help us bring their children here.
Even if they decline to help, we
will bring the youth to Israel ... "

VIEWS CONTRADICT
NOW, IT IS OBVIOUS that
these two definitions of Zionism
by two leading Zionists made
public the same week, are in di-
rect contradiction and invoke two
different fundamental principles,
ideologies and ways of life, al-
though both go under the name
of Zionism.
Dr. Silver's conception is
based on the American human-
itarian principle of helping Jews
in other countries who have no
home of their own and need
help in establishing one.
He is quite right in saying that
such a philanthropic aim and
task can in no way interfere with
one's loyalty to America.
Ben Gurion's Zionism is a
European nationlistic ideology
which claims that Jews are one
and indivisable people no mat-
ter where they live and that Is-
rael is their real home. All other
homes are just temporary inns
where they remain as guests and
aliens until they are 'redemmed'
from the 'Galut' exile.
It is natural therefore that one
of the chief aims of this type of
nationalism is to repatriate the
exiled children of Israel from
their dispersion. Ben Gurion's
call to American Jewish parents
to send their children to settle in
Israel, is quite in line with this
fundamental nationalistic prin-
ciple. The two distinct types of
Zionism have never been more
clearly stated.
The significance of Dr. Sil-
ver's article in "Rear1pe's nirrncf"
of nationalism, at least as far as
American Zionism is concerned.
For what Dr. Silver says in es-
sence in his article is that the
American Zionist is a friend of
Israel who wants to help the new
State to become a happy home
for other Jews who have no home
of their own. Such a Zionist cer-
tainly can be a most loyal Amer-
ican.
Every liberal - minded non-
Zionist Jew, even Mr. Lilienthal
himself and the American Coun-
cil of Judaism, would subscribe
to that. Their quarrel has always
been with the nationalistic Zi-
onist, not with the humanitarian
philanthropist.
Dr. Silver has made an import-
ant move in the non-nationalistic
direction, apart from making a
considerable contribution to the
clarification of the generation-old
question of double loyalty.
