Aw Zion kan hre reng

Jewish historian Josephus-a sawi danin, kum CE 70-ah khan Rom lalram chuan Juda helna chu hmetmitin, Temple Pahnihna an tihchhiatsak a. Juda mi tam takin hnawhchhuah an tâwk. Judate chu khawvel ram hrang hrang Europe-ah te, North Africa-ah te leh Near East-ah te an kal darh zo ta a ni. He kal darhna hi 'Diaspora' tiin an ko.

Kum 1880 chho tir lama din Hovevei Zion (Zion hmangaihtute) hi Juda Palestine rama kir leh duhtu pawlte’n an movement siam hmasak ber a ni a. Hengho hian an tum chu Palestine ram thingtlanga khaw din leh loneih a ni. Kum 1882 khan Leon Pinkser khan ‘Auto-Emancipation’ a ziak a, chutah chuan Judate’n an ram nia an chhâl ram tiam chu ràl thlir a, insawi lungleng ringawt loin, zawi zawia pêm luh chu an hnam tâna din khaw chhuahna tur a nih thu târ lan a ni. He zawi zawia pêm luhna hian hnam pum harhna famkim a thlen theih Pinkser-a khan a ring.

Tichuan, Austrian journalist Theodor Herzl a lo chhuak a. Ani hian Zionist movement mei si, de sêt sêt chu a rawn vaw alh chho ta. Sakhuana huang chhung leh hnam thila ngaih ni ṭhin Zionism kha modern political movement-ah a chantir a ni ber mai. Kum 1896-ah Der Judenstaat (The Jewish State) tih lehkhabu a ziak a; chutah chuan, Juda an nih vang hrim hrima huatna (Antisemitism) chu Europe leh Juda lo mikhualtu ram zingah chuan a reh thei tak tak dawn lo. Chuvangin, Judate hian anmahni kut leh kea dinna tur ram (state) an mamawh a ni, tiin thu a rawn vai vir chho ṭan. Palestine, 'ram tiam Kanaan' ngei khan a suihlung a len ta em em a ni. He lehkhabu hi Zionist movement lungphum phumtu a ni kan ti thei ang. Kum 1897-ah First Zionist Congress chu Switzerland khawpui Basel-ah neih a ni ta a, he movement hi lungphum nghet tak nen a chawr chhuak ta a ni.

Zionism kan tih hi

Zionism ṭobul kan sawi aṭang khan a awmzia leh a tum pawh a chiang tho ang a. Mahse, awmze nei zawkin han thual leh ila. Zionism chu political leh national movement a ni a; a tum ber chu Judate tân ram (state) bik siam a ni. Chu ram chu “Kan thlahtute Pathianin a pek ram” an tih Palestine rama din an duh.

First Aliyah an tih aṭanga Zionist Congress neih a nih inkarah khan Juda mite chu Palestine ramah an pêm lut char char a. Anita Shapira-i lehkhabu ziah 'Israel: A History' (2012)-a kan hmuh angin loneia khawsa turin Palestine ramah khaw eng emaw zat an din. Historian Walter Laqueur-a târ lan danin, Jewish National Fund (1901) chu Judate agriculture hmanga bu an khuarna tur Palestine-a ram lei nana ruahman a ni. Heng pêm luhna bakah hian Juda extreme nationalist – firfiak pawlte chu chein, Palestine khaw ṭhenkhat chu an rûmṭhaih fo a, Palestine khaw ṭhenkhat chu lain, an luah lut peuh peuh reng. Hei hi hmuh hmaih loh a ṭha ang. Juda firfiak pawlte kha nâ tak takin an che fo mai.

A lukhâwng nei bera ngaih chu kum 1917-a Balfour Declaration (British sawrkarin Judate tân ram pek thlawpna) kha a ni. Khatih hun lai khan Palestine kha British sawrkar thununna hnuaiah a awm. Jonathan Schneer-a'n The Balfour Declaration-a a târ lan angin, WW-I hnuah Britain chuan 'League of Nations Mandate for Palestine'-ah Balfour Declaration a ziak lang. Hei hian Britain chuan Palestine ramah Judate chênna hmun siam turin official takin a thlawp tih a tichiang. Hei hian Judate chu Palestine ramah a pêm luhtir ta chur chur a, ram lei pawh a tipung nasa hle. German ramah Juda mi nuai chimih tuma beihna khan mi tam tak chu Palestine-ah an pêm luh phah niin kan hre mai thei. Mahse, kum 1933 khan Zionist Federation of Germany, Anglo-Palestine Bank (Jewish Agency thuhnuaia awm) leh Nazi te khan Haavara Agreement an lo siam reng chu niin, kum 1933 leh 1939 inkara German Juda mi 60,000 vel Palestine rama an luh theihna tura ruahmanna a ni. Britain leh international community hrang hrangte hnenah Juda mi pêm lutte tân Palestine ram chu hawn a nih theih nan nawrna a nasa bawk.

Inchemhârna chu

Indopui II-na a tawp hnu khan British sawrkar chuan Palestine ram chhuahsan a duh ta a, Juda ram (state) leh Arab ram (state) pianna tur thu leh hla pawh United Nations chuan a rel ta kha a ni a. November ni 29, 1947-a UN General Assembly Resolution 181-a târ lan a nih angin, UN Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP) chuan Palestine ram chu ram (state) pahniha ṭhen a rawt a, Jerusalem erawh international administration hnuaia dah turin an rawt. He rawtna hi UN-in pawmin, a thlawptu lian tak ram chu US leh USSR te an ni.

Mipui tam tak an thi a, Palestine Arab-te chu khawpui chhung ata hnawhchhuah an ni ta hial.

Kum 1948 a lo thleng a, Israel ram (state) chuan independence a puang ta rup a. US leh USSR ten Israel ram lo piang chu an pawm thu an târ lang nghal. Indona hmingthang tak pakhat a lo chhuah phah ta bawk. Arab ramte’n Israel lo piang tir chu an rûn ta nghal chiam mai a; Israel, sawrkar lian zawk thlawptu nei ta nâ chu he indonaah hian dingchang zawkah a ṭang. He hun hi Israel sawrkar lo piang tir chuan hun remchangah lain, UN-in an luah tur chin ram a pek bak chu an awp zui ta daih a ni! UN Human Rights Council phei chuan West Bank, Gaza leh East Jerusalem-a Israel policy chu Zionist ideology-in dan pêla ram a zauh chhunzawm zelna a ni, tiin a puh thlu hial. Palestinian 7,00,000 vel an raltlân a, hei hi 'Nakba' (chhiatna rapthlak) an tih tâk chu a ni.

Zionist political ideology–Nationalism hri ṭha lo

Edward Said ngaihdanin, Zionism hi settler colonialism chi khat a ni. A awmzia chu, pawn lam pawl pakhat emaw, hnam pakhat emawin ram neitute nawr chhuakin, ram (state) an din hmiahna leh khawthlang lam nationalism puan sin a, mi ram an awpna a ni.

He hnam bil hmangaihna aṭanga hnam dang tel ve theih lohna (exclusive ethnic nationalism) hmanga din Israel ramin hnam chak lo zawk a rahbehna leh ṭhenawm ramte nena buaina a thlen chungchanga American-Jewish philosopher Judith Butler-i thlirnaah chuan, Zionism hian inthlauhna (inequality) a thlen a, Juda sakhua inzirtirna pawh (mi tê zawk, rethei zawk leh mi tin tan rorelna dik zirtirna Exodus leh Zawlneibua inziak) a kalh thu a sawi hial. Juda scientist ropui Albert Einstein pawh khan cultural zionism chu thlawp mah se, thuneihna sang tak neia Jewish state lo piang chu a thlawp lo, a nghawng rapthlakzia kan târ lan tawh bawk kha. Judaism ngei pawh tichhe thei ‘narrow nationalism’ lo chhuahna a nih theih thu a sawi. Kum 1946-a Anglo-American Committee hmaa Einstein-a thusawiah khan, Juda ram siam ai chuan remna zawnga khawsak hona kawngah Arab-ho nena inremna mumal tak neih a duh zawk thu pawh a sawi bawk.

Hnam thlan theology leh ringtute

Israel-te hian Kristiante lehkhabu thianghlim Bible leh an Juda sakhaw thu leh hlaa kan hmuh hnam thlan an nihna hi an chawi vâwng hle a. Palestine ram pawh Pathian malsawm ram rim nam leh Israel-te a pek nia chhâlin, Palestinian-te chu an nêk chhuak kan tih kha. Mahse, hnam thlan theology kan zir chuan, Pathianin an hnam chungnun bikna tur leh hnam chak lo zawkte a rah behna turin a thlang lo. Dik lo taka Pathian thu lak sualna rah chhuah pakhat a ni.
