Articles and Commentary, Alphabetical by Author
-
Zionism
In the Age of the Dictators - A Reappraisal , by Lenni Brenner
"Why another book on the Second World War, which is probably
the most written about subject in human history? Why another book
on the Holocaust, which has been movingly described by many survivors
and scholars? As a general subject, the age of the dictators, the
world war, and the Holocaust have indeed been covered - but has
the interaction between Zionism and Fascism and Nazism been adequately
explored? And if not, why not?" "The answer is quite simple.
Different aspects of the general subject have been dealt with, but
there is no equivalent of the present work, one that attempts to
present an overview of the movement's world activities during that
epoch. Of course, that is not an accident, but rather a sign that
there is much that is politically embarrassing to be found in that
record."

Sensor
"Most people have been trained to think of Zionism in
positive terms. This is understandable. Decades of propaganda have
misrepresented Zionism as a progressive, modern force bringing civilization
to an arid, uninhabited wasteland. Such an image is an illusion.
This essay will uncover the true history of Zionism. It will reveal
the facts and make clear the real nature of the movement."
