Argues that Israel is in a transitionary phase from Zionism to post-Zionism, as the original goals of Zionism have largely been accomplished. The post-Zionist Israeli state is predicted to be more committed to advancing the interests of all its citizens, regardless of ethnicity, & to become more fully integrated into the region. The status of non-Jewish Israelis is expected to improve, while the social position of non-Israeli Jews is predicted to decrease. Interests promoting & actively fighting this metamorphosis are discussed. The major cleavages in Israeli society obstructing this transition are enumerated, ie, divisions between citizens & noncitizens, Jewish & Palestinian citizens, Ashkenazi & Sephardi Jews, & religious & secular Jews. Adapted from the source document.

THE TASK OF ZIONISM IS VERY NEARLY COMPLETED. THAT IS TO SAY, THE PROBLEM THAT ZIONISM SET OUT TO ADDRESS IS JUST ABOUT SOLVED. SOON WE WILL BE LIVING IN A POST-ZIONIST ERA, AND THERE WILL NO LONGER BE A GOOD REASON FOR A ZIONIST MOVEMENT TO EXIST ALONGSIDE THE STATE OF ISRAEL. THAT PROSPECT NEED NOT SADDEN ANYONE. ZIONISM WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE "A LITTLE PIECE OF ETERNITY, FALLEN INTO TIME" BUT, RATHER, A HISTORICAL MOVEMENT THAT AIMED TO ACHIEVE SPECIFIC HISTORICAL GOALS. THE ATTEMPT TO PROLONG ITS LIFE THROUGH ARTIFICIAL MEASURES-AS IS HAPPENING TODAY-CAN ONLY YIELD NEGATIVE RESULTS. THERE NOW ARE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT WAYS OF UNDERSTANDING THE PURPOSE OF ZIONISM. THEIR RELATION TO THE CLASSICAL SCHOOLS OF ZIONIST THOUGHT, HOWEVER, IS CURIOUS. THE AIM OF ESTABLISHING A SOVEREIGN JEWISH STATE WAS ONCE CONSIDERED BY ZIONISTS TO BE A MAXIMALIST APPROACH, SINCE MANY ZIONISTS WERE WILLING TO SETTLE FOR LESS-A SPIRITUAL CENTER, AN ORGANIC JEWISH COMMUNITY IN PALESTINE, OR A TERRITORIAL CONCENTRATION FALLING SHORT OF FULL SOVEREIGNTY. YET TODAY A MAXIMALIST CONCEPTION OF ZIONISM MUST MEAN SOMETHING ELSE: THE CONCENTRATION OF A MAJORITY OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE IN THE STATE OF ISRAEL. MOST FOLLOWERS OF THIS SCHOOL BELIEVE THAT ZIONISM IS A LONG WAY FROM COMPLETING ITS TASK, IN A WORLD WHERE THREE-QUARTERS OF THOSE IDENTIFIED AS JEWS STILL LIVE OUTSIDE THE BORDERS OF THE JEWISH STATE.
