Zionism and Other Jewish History

History is not the narrative of one view, polemic or preaching. In our historiography lists of Zionism/Israel, Palestinians and other topics, we have concentrated on well-known and respected scholarship. Enabling users to evolve their independent views on a topic, event or time period makes for comprehensive learning. History is best recounted from multiple vantage points, with sources, ideas and opinions blended to form a rope with multiple threads that weave a story’s essence. Narrative histories are inevitably one-sided and polemical; blending causation and events explains nuanced complexities. We have included collections about Palestine before the State of Israel — the Yishuv — including comprehensive compilations of the Palestinians, British and Zionists before and after 1948. In addition to the broad historiographic listings of events, timelines situate events in context, along with lists of key quotations over decades about particular topics, such as a two-state solution, American officials’ attitudes toward Zionism/Israel, and Hamas’ hostile views of Jews, Zionism and Israel.
