The negation of the Diaspora (Hebrew: שלילת הגלות, romanized: shlilat hagalut or Hebrew: שלילת הגולה, romanized: shlilat hagolah) is a central assumption in many currents of Zionism. The concept encourages the dedication to Zionism and it is used to justify the denial of the feasibility of Jewish emancipation in the Diaspora, arguing that Diasporic life leads either to discrimination and persecution or Jewish national decadence and assimilation. A more moderate formulation says that the Jews as a people have no future without a "spiritual center" in the Land of Israel.[1]
