Zionism: Problems and Views

Excerpt from Zionism: Problems and Views
There is nothing vague or hazy about the tenets of Zionism. It is easy to state them clearly and tersely, as follows:
The Jews form not merely a religious community but also a nation.
There are Jews who sever their national bonds and tend towards the dissolution of the people of Israel in their non-Jewish surroundings. But the large majority of Jews, chiefly in Eastern Europe, desire ardently to preserve their Jewish national identity. Zionism has no meaning for Jews who favour the melting-pot theory. It is the ideal of those who feel themselves to belong to a Jewish nation.
