The Short
History of Zionism
The movement of a people with no other choice
This is the book you need to understand Zionism—what it is, why the Jews chose it, how they created their state, and why it’s still so important. This is not an ideological broadside or partisan sloganeering but a real history of the Jewish national movement.
From Zionism’s rise in the 1800s through years of statelessness, war, nationhood, and the October 7, 2023 attack, you’ll learn that Jews faced difficult dilemmas with no easy answers, and ultimately fought to achieve what everyone wants: freedom and dignity in a land of their own.

FAQ
How long is it?
The book is 311 pages of text, plus another 70 pages of a glossary, timeline, source notes and an index. The full bibliography—with more than 400 unique sources—will be up on this webpage soon.
Is the book only on Amazon?
Yes, for now the book can only be found on Amazon. Independent bookstores, libraries, and other institutions require a separate distribution system. That will hopefully be set up in a few months.
Is there an audiobook?
Not yet but plans are in the works.
Can I buy in bulk?
Yes! The easiest way is to simply input the number you want on Amazon, especially if it’s time sensitive. Alternatively, please contact me directly to arrange a bulk purchase, which requires about a month lead time.
Is Jason available to address my community, book club, event, etc?
Yes! I’d be honored to address any gathering to discuss my book, Zionism, Israeli current events, and related topics from Jewish history. Please contact me directly to arrange.
