Each culture has its own geography. many of these geographies are
ethno-centric and tend to ignore the existence of other
geographies occupying the same space. Regarding Zionist and
Jewish geographies - they exist, as does Palestinian geography.
but the latter is only beginning to appear - see for instance the
heated debate which took place in Progrtess in Human Geography a
few years back between Arab and Israeli geographers concerning
their respective perspectives on geography in Israel and
pre-State Palestine. It is not only a cultural issue but also a
highly sensitive political one.

As for Jewish geography, that is interesting because it is
spatially "non-fixated". It moves between places and continents
over time, but at the local level of community organization, the
same spatial patterns emerge. See for instance Transactions of
the IBG for 1985-1987 (discussions of the changing pattern of
British Jewry) or various papers which have appeared in Jnl. of
Cultural Geography in 1986 and 1987.
