Zionism and Anti-Zionism: The History of Two Opposing Ideas

For the first time in many decades, the debate between Zionism and anti-Zionism seems to be at the center of public discourse throughout America and the West. But what are the fundamental beliefs, assumptions, and narratives behind these two opposing ideas?


In this series, join Dr. Einat Wilf, a former member of Israel’s parliament and a scholar of Zionist thought, for a comprehensive look at the history of Zionism—political, social, and religious—and the schools of anti-Zionism that have opposed it.

Taught by Dr. Einat Wilf and Zoé Tara Zeigherman
