Zionist entity

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zionist entity (Arabic: الكيان الصهيوني, al-kiyān al-Sohyūniyy), Zionist regime (Persian: رژیم صهیونیستی, rezhim-e Sahyonisti),[1][2][3] and Zionist enemy[4][5] are interchangeable pejorative terms used predominantly by Arabs[6][page needed][7][page needed] and Muslims[8][page needed][9][page needed] in reference to the State of Israel.[10][page needed][11][page needed][12] Many commentators believe that the terms are used to de-legitimize Israeli sovereignty by promoting the idea that Israel is nothing more than a settler-colonial project. The terms also pin an alternative definition to Zionism (the Jewish nationalist movement that led to Israel's founding), primarily through the implication that Zionism is an ideology centred on racial discrimination.[13][page needed][14][page needed]

Meaning and intent

The term is described as a means of expressing hostility towards Israel,[15][page needed][1] refusing to acknowledge its existence,[16] and denying its legitimacy or right to exist.[17][page needed]

Virginia Q. Tilley argues that the term implies condemnation of the idea of a Jewish state, but not necessarily of a Jewish presence.[18][page needed] Matthew Gray writes that the term denies Israel the status of a "state", and emphasizes Israel's Zionist philosophy. Its use by Arab state media and leaders, even though other terms are equally "politically useful", "reinforces the state's anti-Israel posture and the perception of Israel as a sinister threat".[19][page needed]

Describing it as "derogatory, indirect language", Darrell Jodock states its intent is to "deny Israel any place in the family of nations".[20][page needed] Referring to it as a "common epithet", Eric Sundquist indicates that it "echoed the Arab view, repeated in the core doctrine of the PLO, that Israel was no state at all but an illegal colonialist excrescence".[21][page needed]

Usage

In Arab media

Before 1967, "Zionist entity" was the standard term used by Arabs and the Arab media to refer to Israel,[22] and was particularly popular in official broadcasts of Egypt, Syria, and Jordan during the 1960s and 1970s.[23] The use of this term has continued since then in Egyptian newspapers.[24][25] the state-controlled press of Syria,[26][page needed] Lebanon's Al-Manar,[27][page needed] and the Jordanian media.[28][page needed] It is also the only term for Israel used on Radio Méditerranée, a French radio station with a daily audience of around 600,000 "mainly French people of Arab descent".[29]

Political

The term "Zionist entity" is used by some Arab states,[30][page needed] and by "politicians and intellectuals throughout the Arab world".[31] Lutz Edzard describes it as "the traditional Arabic political term for Israel", stating it is used in Arabic (particularly Iraqi) international documents.[32][page needed] Describing its use in Jordan, Joseph Nevo includes it as part of "Arab rhetoric and its traditional reluctance to use the term 'Israel'".[33][page needed] Middle East journalist Barbara Victor writes that when she went to Tripoli in 1986 to interview Muammar Gaddafi, it was illegal to use any term except "Zionist entity" to refer to Israel.[34] It has been used regularly at the United Nations, by (among others) Libya, Syria, Iraq, Kuwait, Yemen, and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.[35] It is also used by Iran, and by groups such as Hezbollah,[36][page needed] al-Quds Brigades, Hamas,[37][page needed] Islamic Jihad, the Palestinian Authority, and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Use by the latter became "less prominent" in the late 1980s after the Camp David Accords and PLO recognition of Israel.[38][page needed]

Following the Islamic Revolution, Iranian leaders frequently refer to Israel as the "Zionist regime" (Persian: رژیم صهیونیستی).[1][3]

Other

In his book After the Last Sky: Palestinian Lives, Edward Said writes that one of the differentiators between Arab citizens of Israel and other Palestinians was that the former referred to Israel "as a real country, rather than 'the Zionist entity'".[39][page needed] In a later essay, he described the phrase's use by Arabs as "a foolish and wasteful policy".[40][page needed]
