Document Summary
It is difficult to decide who is a conflicting party because within themselves they would disagree. Jews defined as a people comprising many ethnic, cultural, and linguistic groups. Generally have a belief in judaism or have a biological lineage for example being born to a jewish mother. They are unified through their culture by sharing common ancestry, traditions, customs, heritage, and future. Zionism a movement that supports the idea that the jewish identity has national, political, and territorial components. * there are non-zionist and anti-zionist jews who reject this collective definition & see themselves uniquely as belonging to a religious group. But, the numbers of non-an anti-zionist jews have declined, particularly since the rise of adolf hitler in the 1930s. Muslims, arabs, and palestinians are of the opinion that jews are purely a religious community. Israelis are citizens of the state of israel.
