Speaker says past explains modern Zionist movement
By Lara Gold
Kansan staff writer
David Vital does not defend Zion. Nor does he apologize for it.
He does speak about how it emerged and developed from the persecuted Eastern European Jews to present day Jews living in the modern world.
"You can't understand the phenomenon without going back in time," said Vital, who has written a three-volume account of the rise and evolution of the Zionist movement. He spoke to about 75 people at the Centennial Room in the Kansas Union last night.
He said that as the Jewish people entered the 20th century, they became increasingly secularized as well as scattered throughout the world.
As Jews migrated to the United States from places of persecution, Zionism became a needed change, he said.
"The thesis of Zionism is for the Jews to solve their own problems, to pull themselves together," he said. He urged for there to be a radical change.
Vital said part of the change needed to be a territorial solution.
"The troubles Jews encountered living where they were was a consequence where they were a minority," he said. "The essential thing was for the Jews to reacquire a territory where they would not be a minority."
Vital said Zionism sought equality, dignity, cultural continuity, safety and autonomy for the Jewish people in establishing a Jewish state.
However, questions after the
speech focused on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, not Zionism.
"The idea of Zionism was freeing people," said Ibrahim El-Khatib, Jerusalem senior. "This is for sure not Zionism, what is happening right now in Israel."
El-Khatib said the Palestinians had recognized Israel and had a right to coexist with it.
Ossi Azuelos, Jerusalem freshman,
said there were many opponents who
had reason to be opponents at the
speech.
Atezuel said Vital would be the last
the keep a Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
She said, "He came here to talk about history and not today's conflict."
