摘要
As Israel is engaged in one of the bloodiest chapters of its history, this article delves into the economic and political discursive structures of the Zionist project. Critically using settler-colonial theory and V.I. Lenin's analysis of European imperialism, I argue that imperialism and empire-building were not forces external to Zionism but internal to its ideological and economic practices. By analyzing the way capital was transferred to pre-1948 Palestine, building it into a "pure colony" and a future metropole, and studying two discursive moments-the writings of the right-wing Zionist leader Ze'ev Jabotinsky and Israel's founding father David Ben-Gurion-I show how small empire building was part of Zionist/Israeli thought and practice.
