Anthony D. Smith, who wrote “National Identity and Myths of Ethnic Origin,” explained how myths are formed and how they can lead to ethnic regeneration within a group of people. He associated his ideas on ethnic regeneration with the countries of Türkiye, Greece, England, France and Israel. His ideas clearly described the steps taken to regenerate when people are influenced by myths created sometimes thousands of years ago, in cases such as those observed by the Jews. There were eight steps that all of these nation states would have taken to get to where they are today. Of these eight stages, I do not agree with the one which says: “they designate a space and a time for their action”. I don't have the impression that a specific time is designated. Instead, it feels like the moment is determined at any moment. This is currently seen when talking about the future State of Palestine. The date of the declaration of existence of this state has changed several times in recent years. Yael Zerubavel writes about collective memory and the Zionist reconstruction of the past. I do not agree with the historian Zerubavel talks about in his writings. I think Halbwach's view of history is expressed as a "collective memory." Collective memory is what gives a society the goals it must pursue in the future. It also creates a bond between the members of this society. As a result, these people want to settle together in a nation-state. The Zionist movement is an example of something brought about by collective memory. Over generations, the diaspora and other events in Jewish life were passed down, ultimately leading Jews to create a homeland in 1948.
