Paul Goodman Zionism

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The Jews form not merely a religious com munity but also a nation. There are Jews who sever their national bonds and tend towards the 'dissolution of the people of Israel in their non-jewish surroundings. But the large majority of Jews, chiefly, in Eastern Europe, desire ardently to preserve their Jewish national identity. Zionism has no meaning for Jews who favour the melting-pot theory. It is the ideal of those who feel themselves to belong to a Jewish nation.
