Talk:Zionism and racism
See also: [[Talk:United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379]]

== Name change ==

There was some debate over an appropriate name for this subject - which started as '''Zionism is racism''', moved to '''slogan 'Zionism is racism' ''', before finally ending up at [[Zionism and racism]] with [[United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379]] describing the UN resolution.

Other suggested names included:

(contracted; show full)ver the Middle East coming for medical treatment to Israel; to the peaceful coexistence which has developed; to the fact that Arabic is an official language in Israel on a par with Hebrew; to the fact that it is as natural for an Arab to serve in public office in Israel as it is incongruous to think of a Jew serving in any public office in an Arab country, indeed being admitted to many of them. Is that racism? It is not! That, Mr. President, is Zionism. [http://www.us-israel.org/jsource/UN/herzogsp.html]


::Please give some statistics on how many non-jews haVE HIGH LEVEL POSITIONS IN ISRAEL - about 0% I think you will admit. And we should cover israel's racist land and water allocation policies.⏎

I still think the first sentence is POV:

:''The political slogan Zionism is racism brands Israel as an international outlaw and thus gain support for [[Islamic nationalism]] at the expense of [[Jewish nationalism]].''

:::So when debating *racism*, the 'any person may become a Jew' argument is entirely valid because it shows that *race* has no part in it. [[User:165.146.122.244|165.146.122.244]] 12:06, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
