There is scarcely a concept in recent history that has been more misused, distorted and misrepresented — both by its most zealous advocates and by those who regard it as the source of all evil in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, if not the world at large — than Zionism. The political motivations of those who subscribe to either of these narratives are often obvious. Yet it is far less clear how debates about Zionism, in and of themselves, remain relevant today or help resolve the conflict in the future.
