The opening as it read in 2005
Post-Zionism refers to the views of some Israeli and diaspora Jews, particularly in academia, that Zionism fulfilled its ideological mission with the creation of modern State of Israel in 1948 and that the ideology should therefore be considered to be at an end.1The term Post-Zionism also refers to a school of historical revisionism whose practitioners are known as the New Historians , in which the history of Israel and Zionism, particularly the events leading to the creation of the state of Israel and its early years are re-examined with an attempt to uncover events that have been hidden or de-emphasised by Zionist historians, particularly the alleged maltreatment of Palestinians , arguing that the state of Israel was created through violence against Arab residents. See also 1948 Arab-Israeli War In constrast to the Jewish state being the aim of Zionism, many Post-Zionists advocate the evolution of Israel into a non-ideological, secular, liberal democratic state which is officially neither Jewish nor Arab in character.2
