SUMMARY:2014 ANNUAL SERLING MODERN ISRAEL LECTURE
DESCRIPTION:
 "Zionism as a Liberal Democratic Worldview" \n
 \n
 Gadi Taub, Hebrew University \n
 \n
 An Israeli 
 historian, writer, screenwriter, and public 
 intellectual, Dr. Taub's books in Hebrew include 
 a bestselling collection of essays titled 
 "A Dispirited Rebellion: Essays on Contemporary 
 Israeli Culture" (Hebrew), "What is Zionism" 
 (Hebrew), and recently "The Settlers and 
 the Struggle Over the Meaning of Zionism" (Hebrew; 
 English). Taub is Senior Lecturer in the 
 Department of Communications at Hebrew University, 
 and he contributes op-ed columns to the 
 Israeli and international press. Taub believes 
 in the right of all peoples, including the 
 Jews, to self-determination in their own nation 
 state. He supports the creation of a Palestinian 
 state beside Israel. Taub distinguishes 
 between original Zionism, or the Zionism 
 of Liberty (or Zionism of State), and a new 
 messianic Zionism that he calls a Zionism of 
 Land. In Taub's view, Zionism of Land is an ideological 
 negation of the original Zionism of 
 Liberty and also the road to Israel's demise.
