Our mission is to build a database that helps elucidate the reality of Zionism through the words of Zionists.
We launched our database on January 2nd, 2024 in order to assist researchers and preserve the historical record.
There are 482 quotes from 153 people in the Zionism Observer database.
Each quote contains a number of details, the ones that are not self-explanatory are elaborated on below.
Indicates that an academic fluent in Hebrew and English verified the translation. You may accurately cite these quotes as "according to a translation verified by The Zionism Observer."
If we did not verify the translation, the quote is likely a machine translation, or from the cited source.
Evidence from original source material, or from researchers, that we preserved on our server. The preserved evidence is usually from the listed citation for a quote, but there are times they do not match (eg, we found a better video containing more context, but it isn't from the same source). We often have additional sources/evidence from contemporary quotes that are not listed on our website. We can provide these to journalists or researchers upon request.
Our way of providing credit to a researcher who either brought this to our attention, or the person who translated the quote.
If you would like to contribute quotes to our database, you may use our public-facing form.
