6. | Description | Abstract | For the Palestinians, the concept of Israel as a Jewish state is anathema. Such a stance is based on the determination to ensure that Palestinians would, like Jews, have the same right of return. In support of his opposition to recognizing Israel as a Jewish state, the President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, stated in January 2014: The Palestinians won’t recognize the Jewishness of the State of Israel and won’t accept it. The Israelis say that if we don’t recognize the Jewishness of Israel there will be no solution. And we say that we won’t recognize or accept the Jewishness of Israel and we have many reasons for this rejection. The Israeli government, however, is determined that Israel should be a Jewish state, fearing that the Palestinian Authority seeks to establish a Palestinian state next to Israel while at the same time flooding Israel with millions of refugees. From its nineteenth-century beginnings, the Zionist movement was determined to create a Jewish state in the ancient homeland. After centuries of persecution, the Zionists were convinced that Jewish survival could only be assured if the Jewish people had a country of their own. That conviction remains a fundamental principle of Zionism. |
