The term "Post-Zionism" entered Israeli discourse following the publishing of a book by Uri Ram in 1993.[1] In the same volume, Gershom Shafir contrasted Post-Zionism with what he termed Neo-Zionism.[2] In a widely cited 1996 essay, sociologist Uri Ram used the term Neo-Zionism to describe a political and religious ideology that developed in Israel following the 1967 Six-Day War.[3]: 18 [4]: 67 [5]: 218 He considers it as an "exclusionary, nationalist, even racist, and antidemocratic political-cultural trend" in Israel,[6] and that it evolved in parallel with, and in opposition to, the left-wing politics of Post-Zionism and Labor Zionism.
