CORRECTIONS/ELABORATIONS: First: at 3:39 Vienna is misplaced, in reality it's much further north next to Pressburg/Bratislava. Second: "Jewish State" is really a mistranslation but it's one that's accepted. _Judenstaat_ should really be translated as "Jews' State." The German and Hebrew are much clearer about this, and that's what Ahad HaAm was playing on: he wanted not a "Jews' State" (a state comprising a Jewish majority) but a "Jewish State" (a state with an authentic and organic Jewish culture).

The literal translation of "Der Judenstaat" is "the state of (the) Jews", but yes, it can also be literally translated as "the Jews' state" The German language uses a lot of compound words consisting of neologisms and "Judenstaat" is one of those, but these compound words are unusual in other languages, therefore they should rather be translated with the possessive prepositions. Also, as a result, these compound words lose their articles and therefore it's not always clear if it would be a state of the Jews or a state of Jews, it can mean both things, depending on the context.

In his book "Jerusalem", historian Simon Sebag Montefiore says the following about Herzl's vision for a Jewish state: “Herzl concluded that Jews could never be safe without their own homeland. At first, this half-pragmatist, half-utopian dreamed of a Germanic aristocratic republic, a Jewish Venice ruled by a senate with a Rothschild as princely doge and himself as chancellor. His vision was secular: the high priests “will wear impressive robes”; the Herzl army would boast cuirassiers with silver breastplates; his modern Jewish citizens would play cricket and tennis in a modern Jerusalem.”

31:15 Do you mean Yiddishism, or Jewish territorialism? Because Jewish territorialism was part of the Zionist movement and its ideas were discussed in the Zionist congress. Only eventually it split from the Zionist movement. Herzl himself was one of the prominent supporters of its ideas at first. Especially in Argentina (as you mentioned) and the Uganda plan. If you mean Yiddishism and Jewish Autonomism of Simon Dubnow, it was indeed very popular in Eastern Europe. The Bund was even one of the main establishers of the "Russian Social Democratic Labour Party" of which Lenin was the leader. But after the Bolsheviks split from it and later took power, Jewish Autonomism was heavily suppressed. Only in Poland, Romania and Lithuania, it was thriving. And even there it constantly suffered from "defectors" to Labour Zionism as anti-Semitism increased more and more.

Through the perspective of the Ottomans it would make more sense to give Herzl concessions in Armenia or Bulgaria than Palestine as Palestine was predominantly Muslim so their was really no reason for the ottomans to believe that the new Jewish settlers in the region would be any more loyal to the empire than the people who were already their. Meanwhile with a region like Armenia or Bulgaria that was predominantly Christian and in close proximity to the Russian Empire, Russian backed separatism was a very real threat for the ottomans just like it had been in regions like Serbia and Romania. Settling the area with Jews would not only enable further development it would also suppress Russian influence in the region as was perhaps no group of people with more reasons to hate the Russians than European Ashkenazi Jews

I'm sure as a left-wing supporter as I believe I have gathered you are that you must be rather concerned about the new Israeli government under the very far right coalition that netanyahu has put together and some of its plans to further cause dissent and conflict between the Israeli and Palestinian peoples and this is an issue that I am watching closely as well as both a Jew and a friend of Palestinians.

It will always be "from the river to the sea" and Bibi is fully aware of that and hence there are no legitimate left wing parties in the country left. What's the conflict Bibi is trying to steer? Allowing Jews to pray at their most religious site? Oh the horror. Annexing land that was bought from the Greek Orthodox Church? Land that Jordan, the actual Palestinian state, lost in 1967?

I think treating ongoing tensions as merely a symptom of the current government misses the root cause. Netanyahu and other members of his coalition are just more open about the goals of Zionism and the means of achieving that, which necessitates the continued displacement and disenfranchisement of Palestinians and adopting policies to maintain a Jewish demographic majority at all costs. The road to actual coexistence and reconciliation in the region requires ending the forced displacements, adopting laws that do not discriminate based on ethnicity, and granting equal status to all inhabitants; all of which are fundamentally incompatable with Zionism.

The author of this video seems to accept without questioning Herzl's belief that Jewish people could not have been accepted or ever become assimilated. That belief is at the root of Zionism and the birth of the modern state of Israel and appear to be validated by the events of the Shoah but it is also behind the current conflict in Palestine. The paradox is that the pursue of a safe haven for Jewish people has created that place where more than anywhere else on Earth their life is at risk and the moral capital accumulated during WW2 is more than ever dilapidated. The movement labelled 'Zionism' (a term that has assumed a negative connotation) has been one of the greatest tragedies also in the history of the Jewish people. My grandmother died in the camps.

Non-Jews would simply be outnumbered. The total population of Palestine around this time was just over half a million, of whom 10% were Jews, and the Jewish population worldwide was nine million. In _Altneuland,_ Herzl predicts the non-Jewish population of Arabs, Greeks, and Armenians being huge, maybe 40%. We should also be careful with our understanding of the word "Palestinian" at this time. It is a term of regionality/nationality rather than ethnicity, and until 1948 that encompassed the entire population including the Yishuv.

Seems likely, but the Bund was extremly anti-nationalist

22:18 Kingdom? Was there even a single Zionist at the time that was advocating for a kingdom?

He may have used a more generalised term in Turkish, and it got translated as "kingdom" because this was ~1900 and kingdoms were standard. Or he didn't really care what for of government they actually envisioned and defaulted to a monarchy.

Fantastic vid and a great series. Not sure if the teaser at the end refers to Zhabotinsky, Trumpeldor, and Revisionist Zionism so not gonna be overly critical here about some typical Anglophone oversights regarding Eastern Europe that do occur: Jews were residing in Poland (and Lithuania) no later than the 11th C. CE, with rights so liberal by the time of the reign of Kazimierz III "the Great" that, while they might not technically qualify as "emancipation," they ought not be overlooked as having preceded rights granted by Western European nations such as France and the Hapsburgs. After all, ethnic Poles who were not land owners of the time didn't enjoy the franchise either, regardless of gender.

I am a Jew and an Israeli citizen and I actually reside on Herzl Street in Haifa. There is one fatal flaw in Zionism: been there, done that. There have been at least three Jewish states in Palestine, in ancient times, and all ended in catastrophe. Therefore about half of all orthodox Jews, having a greater connection to history than reform Jews, have been and are anti-Zionist. Insanity means doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
