Jewish groups gather for First Anti-Zionist Congress
by editors@theworld.org (Rebecca Collard) from The World: Latest Stories on (#6Y2WT)
The first Jewish anti-Zionist congress was held last weekend in Vienna, Austria -the city where Theodor Herzl came up with the idea of political Zionism, and proposed a Jewish state in Palestine. The organizers, mostly Jews with a connection to the city, say Judaism is not Zionism." As Rebecca Collard explains, this reflects a growing debate in Jewish communities around the globe about religion, nationalism and belonging.
