am always troubled when I
hear someone state Zionism
said this, or that',' said Gideon
Shimoni, professor emeritus of
Israel-Diaspora Relations at
Hebrew University of Jerusalem, to
his audience Oct. 9 at the West
Bloomfield Library.
"I know too well that Zionism is
a family word, and there are many
children of Zionism." Religious,
revisionist and socialist Zionism
are examples he cited.
An Israeli since making aliyah
from South Africa in 1961,
Shimoni addressed "Israel and the
Diaspora: Reflections on the
Relevance of Zionist Ideology in a
Post-Zionist Age in a public pro-
gram of the Cohn-Haddow Center
for Judaic Studies of Wayne State
University. Harold Berry, an advi-
sory board member, served as
moderator.
For Shimoni, the "bottom line"
definition of Zionism is "the return
of Jews to Zion and the return of
Zion to the Jews;" but even this
definition raises questions about
how many Jews, how to return, and

even what is Zion?
To help focus the issue, Shimoni
posited "two
constitutive,
fundamen-
tal proposi-
tions: that
Jews are
more than a
religion ...
and two, the
condition of Hebrew Altalt
U. Professor
total disper- Shimoni
sion, the
diaspora, is the fundamental cause
of Jewish suffering." If you agree
that Jews are a people and that
Israel is central to the future of the
Jewish people you are a Zionist; if
you disagree, you are not.
The title of his talk notwith-
standing, Shimoni does not believe
this is the post-Zionist age.
"Zionism is still relevant;' says
Shimoni, calling post-Zionists a
tiny minority. "The key question
today is between maintaining a
one-state solution [on all the land
Israel now controls] versus parti-
tion dividing the land, i.e., the 'road
map. This is the majority consen-
sus, and it is split right down the
middle."

Answering
Israel's Critics

The Charge:

Israel is building an "apartheid wall" in the West Bank to steal
Palestinian land, separate Palestinians from their families and
livelihoods, racially divide the Palestinian and Israeli populations,
and block the future creation of a Palestinian state.

The Answer:

From 1967 until 2003, during 35 years of Israeli administration of
the West Bank, no barrier of any kind was built. But in 2002,
Palestinian extremist violence peaked, killing several hundred
Israelis in horrific attacks. Suicide bombers walked from the West
Bank into Israeli cities to carry out these deadly missions. After
that year, Israeli public opinion demanded separation. The new
barrier protects innocent lives from these killers.
