Episode notes

This chapter explores how early Zionists settled on the idea of settling Palestine and the debate between diasporic nationalism and territorialists. It discusses factors that influenced their thinking, such as the colonial world order and biblical resonance. Ultimately, the chapter highlights how the land of Israel became the central focus of Zionism, despite initial opposition.

Featuring Shaul Magid on the long history of Jewish Zionism and its antagonist, Jewish anti-Zionism. Defenders of Israel defame anti-Zionists as antisemites. In fact, today's growing ranks of anti-Zionist Jews draw on a powerful and diverse tradition.
