In this research, we try to discuss the structure of Zionist thought, to reveal its historical religious roots, by shedding light on its intellectual and ideological sources in the Old Testament and the Jewish Talmud, and analyzing the biblical and Talmudic texts that contributed to shape and formulate modern Zionist awareness towards the different other.
The research focuses on how Jewish religious narratives were used to build Zionist ideology, especially those related to the concepts of "the chosen people", "the promised land", and the relationship with the other. It also discusses the Talmudic influence in shaping the Zionist perspective on international relations and political conflicts.
The research shows, through a critical study, how religious texts were interpreted to serve a racist colonial political project supported by the West, which led to the production of an exclusionary discourse towards non-Jews, especially Arabs and Palestinians.
