...Scientists. "Zionism," says a tutor at Jerusalem's handsome new Hebrew University, "is no longer a dynamic concept because it has done what it set out to do." Young Israelis in general seem to be moving from their fathers' ideals toward a more matter-of-fact Israeli patriotism, with the solid goal of making a place for their country among the other Semitic states of the Middle East. Many Sabras look for leadership to former Chief of Staff Moshe Dayan. 43, who recently left his army command to study history at the Hebrew University and is regarded...
Bursting with the pride of nationhood, some 5,000 Israelis kindled the first festive beacon at dusk beside the Judean hilltop grave of Theodor Herzl, founder of Zionism. Then, after a ten-gun salute boomed off Jordan's echoing hills (all heavily reinforced with Arab soldiery), 5,000 crack Israeli warriors took pride of martial place by parading through the City of David with gleaming tanks, guns and armored vehicles, in defiance of the armistice clause that prohibits any large number of troops and weapons within six miles of the Jordanian frontier...

However, Ben-Gurion's and Goldmann's "prestige' may be high among Zionists, but your reference to it as high among "Jews" is dubious. Most Jews are indifferent or hostile to Zionism. We reject the "Jewish" nationalism of Zionism and hold that Judaism is a religious faith of universal values...
Last week Ben-Gurion deepened the gulf with a speech before a Jerusalem meeting convened to discuss the ideology of Zionism. Some 70 writers and thinkers from all over the world gasped audibly when Ben-Gurion announced: "The difference between Goldmann and me is that he is a Zionist and I am not. There seems to be general agreement that a Jew can live in America, speak and read English and bring up his children in American culture and still call himself a Zionist. If that is Zionism, I want no part...
