Nueva Sion

Nueva Sion is a Jewish community newspaper published in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was founded in March 1948 by members of the Mapam political party, which was affiliated with the Israeli party of the same name, to represent a Zionist and socialist stance within the Argentine Jewish community. Both Mapam and Nueva Sion are linked worldwide to the Hashomer Hatzair Zionist youth movement, founded in Poland in 1913. The name "Nueva Sion" is tied to the imminent creation of a Jewish state, which occurred two months later on May 14, 1948, with Israel's Declaration of Independence. The newspaper's first editors included Nissim Elnecavé, León S. Pérez, Abrasha Rotenberg, Natalio Trainin, and Jacobo Timerman. Over the decades, Nueva Sion has positioned itself as a cultural journalistic forum, hosting major figures of Argentine Jewish journalism and intelligentsia. From this platform, it has actively committed to peace between Arabs and Israelis and has been involved in the most significant political events in Argentina, Israel, and the world. In 1983, with the return of democracy after six years of inactivity, censorship, and proscription, Nueva Sion resumed its activities, motivated by the spirit of addressing reality beyond the concepts of the Arab-Israeli conflict while maintaining a critical view of the national context. In the 1990s, in the context of the attacks against the Israeli embassy in 1992 and against the AMIA in 1994, the pages of Nueva Sion showed a strong push for justice and clarification. The newspaper has had continuous circulation since its founding, except for the period of the last military dictatorship, and today has a quarterly print edition and a website: http://www.nuevasion.com.ar/. It is currently the only newspaper of the Argentine Jewish community that defines itself as secular, humanist, and progressive. It is a reference for the pluralistic Argentine Jewish community and its interweaving with society, with a distinctive and progressive imprint, deep analysis, cultural approach, and commitment to peace in the Middle East and democracy in Argentina and Latin America. Its articles cover topics related to the local Jewish community, Argentine politics and society, with special emphasis on the investigation of the attacks against the Israeli embassy in 1992 and the AMIA building in 1994, as well as Israeli and Middle Eastern reality.
