A Diaspora Jew (Hebrew: יהודי גלותי) is a stereotypical term derived from the antithesis attitude created by Zionism towards the Judaism of the Jewish diaspora, especially in Europe, and as part of the greater concept of the Negation of the Diaspora. The Diaspora Jew was described by Zionists〔Joseph Vitkin, "(Conquest of land and labor )", published in 1908〕 as a passive, weak Jew, engaged in ''Luftgesheft'' (Yiddish for "Air Business"), i.e. occupations that are not a real job or without integrity, brokering or bookkeeping, professions such as law and accounting, and one that suffers from the bullying of the non-Jew without responding. Zionism sought to create the antithesis of this image and build a new Jew in the Land of Israel: active, strong, engaged in cultivation of land, and defending himself against attacks from the Gentiles. The use of this expression appears in the early days of Zionism, in an article by Joseph Vitkin, "(Conquest of land and labor )", published in 1908: A presention of the idea of the antithesis basic of this expression appears in the description given by the publisher of the book by Yisrael Zamir, "My father, Isaac Bashevis Singer": Nowadays the term is used mainly by Israeli rightists against leftists as a derogatory nickname (cf. "Self-hating Jew"), when the rightists Israeli compare the leftists' attitude towards security, the West Bank and Gaza with the approach of the time immemorial Diaspora Jew, who groveled before the Polish nobleman. ==See also== *Negation of the Diaspora *Muscular Judaism *Sabra *Srulik *Self-hating Jew *Useful Jew 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Diaspora Jew (stereotype)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
