First sentence: As will become clear, several streams converge to issue in the broad and complex ideology of 'Zionism', a term used in its modern sense for the first time by Nathan Birnbaum in 1890 (Bein 1961: 33).
Description: "This study deals with one of the most explosive issues in international affairs, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Zionism and the State of Israel examines the use of the Bible as a legitimisation for the implementation of the political programme of Zionism and its consequences. The novel perspective of this study is the moral question of the impact which the Zionist conquest and settlement have had on the indigenous population of Palestine."--BOOK JACKET.
