Introduction
THIS
BOOK
IS
THE
HISTORY
OF
A
HERESY.
THROUGH
A
LITERAL
AND
SELECTIVE
reading
of
a
Revealed
Word,
it
makes
religion
into
a
political
tool
and
in
so
doing,
hallows
it.
This
heresy
is
a
fatal
disease
at
this
end
of
the
century,
one
that
I
already
defined
in
"Integrismes."
I
fought
Islamic
fundamentalism
in
"The
Greatness
and
decadence
ofIslam
"
at
the
risk
of
displeasing
those
who
did
not
like
me
to
say
it.
I
fought
Christian
fundamentalism
in
"Towards
a
war
ofreligion
"
at
the
risk
of
displeasing
those
who
don't
like
me
to
say:
"The
Christ
of
Paul
is
not
Jesus."
I
am
fighting
today
Jewish
fundamentalism
in
"The
Founding
Myths
ofIsraeli
Politics"
at
the
risk
of
attracting
the
thunder
of
those
Israeli-Zionists
who
did
not
like
Rabbi
Hirsch's
reminder:
"Zionism
wants
to
define
the
Jewish
people
as
a
national
entity
...
which
is
a
heresy."
SOURCE:
"WashingtonPost,"
October
3,
1978.
What
is
the
Zionism
that
I
denounced
(and
not
the
Jewish
people)
in
my
book?
It
has
often
defined
itself:
it
is
a
political
doctrine.
"Since
1896,
Zionism
refers
to
the
political
movement
founded
by Theodore
Herzl."
SOURCE:
Encyclopedia
of
Zionism
and
Israel.
"Herzl
Press."
New
York,
1971,
volume
2,
p.
1262.
This
is
a
nationalist
doctrine
which
was
not
bom
out
of
Judaism
but
out
of
the
European
nationalism
of
the
19th
century.
Herzl,
the
founder
of
political
Zionism,
did
not
claim
to
belong
to
a
religion:
"I
do
not
obey
a
religious
impulse."
SOURCE:
Th.
Herzl:
"Diaries.
Ed.
Victor
Gollancz,
1958.
"I
am
an
agnostic."
(p.
54)
He
was
not
interested in
the
"Holy
Land"
in
particular:
for
his
nationalist
objectives,
he
would
have
equally
accepted
Uganda
or
Tripoli,
Cyprus
or
Argentina,
Mozambique
or
the
Congo.
SOURCE;
Herzl,
Diaries
(passim).
But
in
the
face
of
the
opposition
of
his
Jewish
friends,
he
realized
the
importance
of
the
"Mighty
Legend"
(June
9,
1895),
Diaries
I,
p.
56)
as
"a
rallying
cry
of
irresistible
power."
SOURCE:
Herzl,
p.
45.
This
is
a
mobilizing
slogan
that
this
eminently
realistic
politician
could
not
ignore.
Transposing
this
"mighty
Legend"
of
the
"Return"
into
historical
reality,
he
declared:
