What is a Jew, a Semite, a Zionist? Key terms explained

 

March 3, 2019

 

– Jew –

Originally a Jew was an inhabitant of the ancient kingdom of Judah that existed in the Middle East, centred on Jerusalem, from around 940 to 586 BC.

 

The term Jew originates in the Biblical Hebrew word “yehudi”, which means “from the Kingdom of Judah”.

 

It also is the root of Judaism, the Jewish religion which is one of the world’s oldest monotheistic religions and established more than 3,500 years ago.

 

Its principle tenet is that there is only one God, who is the creator of the universe and with whom Jewish people have a special relationship.

 

Jews can be atheist, being Jewish by heritage but not believing in the God of the Bible.

 

Jewish law says the faith is transmitted through the mother, even if in the Bible people are identified by their paternal ascendants.

 

– Semite –

Jews are not the only Semites: this term refers to people linked through related languages including Hebrew but also Amharic, Arabic and Aramaic.

 

– Zionist –

The term comes from “Zion” which is a synonym for Jerusalem but also for the land of Israel. It also has a spiritual meaning.

 

It takes its name from Mount Zion, which was first used to describe the site of the ancient Jebusite city which became Jerusalem, but today refers to a hill just outside the walls of the Old City, on its southwestern edge.

 

The terms Zionist and Zionism developed in the late 19th century to refer to the aspirations of Jewish people — who were exiled, dispersed and persecuted — to have their own independent homeland.

 

It had its first political expression in the 1896 pamphlet “The State of the Jews” by Austro-Hungarian journalist and writer Theodor Herzl.
