The terms '''Judeocentrism''', '''Jewish ethnocentrism''' ('''Judeo-centric''', etc.) are political [[neologism]]s used by those who view [[Zionism]] as [[Jewish]] or [[Zionist]] [[ethnocentrism]]. It refers to an allegation that Jews consider their cultural traditions and values to be superior to all others.
There is no debate that ethnocentrism exists to a greater or lesser degree in most cultures, including within Judaism. Although a few people believe that Jews are vastly more ethnocentric than other groups, to the extent of believing in a worldwide [[Zionist]] [[conspiracy]], this article will focus on the mainstream view of Jewish ethnocentrism.
The term ''Judeocentrism'' is used to criticise journalism and historical research which is perceived as focusing excessively on Jews, or portraying other cultures from a narrowly Jewish perspective. For example, Ian Hancock accuses the US Holocaust Memorial Council "underestimating and underrepresenting" the [[Porajmos|death of gypsies during the Holocaust]], and says that "a very blind eye is being turned in the direction of Gypsy history".
