Zionism is the antithesis of messianism. Zionism argued against waiting in the Diaspora with prayer and fervency for some deus ex machina to come and to rescue the Jews. Zionism rejected the idea of waiting for an outside agent, for a Shabbetai Zvi and a Bar Kochba. Zionism is supremely an ideology of self-reliance, of self-realization. It refuses to depend on others, it postulates no sudden change in the psychology of enemies, it postulates no change in human nature, it postulates no discontinuity in history.Paul Mendlowitzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05887774341136059873noreply@blogger.comBlogger1125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21519732.post-64672996474379289902018-06-25T14:40:45.756-04:002018-06-25T14:40:45.756-04:00One hundred percent correct ,he will truly be miss...One hundred percent correct ,he will truly be missedAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15197901778168032697noreply@blogger.com
