Hannah Arendt and Zionism: Cassandra
with feet of clay
At the time of the centenary of the death of Theodor Herzl July 3, 1904 and in a context of controversy about his legacy This article examines the position of Hannah Arendt vis-à-vis Zionism, its meaning and its posterity. Having been engaged for ten years in the Zionist movement, Arendt broke with him in 1944 by developing a critique of its policy and its vision of history. Although it was very isolated at that time, there are now some of his arguments in speeches advocating a revisionist perspective on the foundations and history of the State of Israel between two perspectives: post-Zionist or anti-Zionist.
Before Zionism, Arendt has played the role of Cassandra, but maybe a Cassandra with feet of clay. cairn
