Theodor Herzl: The Zionist Dream of a Jewish State | History of Israel Explained | Unpacked

What is Zionism, and why is it so controversial? And how (and why) did Theodor Herzl, a secular writer, who didn’t know anything about Judaism, transform an ancient longing into a modern political movement that resulted in the establishment of the State of Israel?
Short answer - antisemitism.
Herzl was present at one of the most explosive trials of the day, which came to be known as the Dreyfus Affair. In the case, Alfred Dreyfus, a high ranking Jewish officer in the French army, was falsely accused of espionage and sentenced to life imprisonment on Devil’s Island (he was later exonerated).
It wasn’t just the trial that got Herzl started on his journey towards Zionism. The cries of “Death for the Jew” that were casually hurled around on the streets of Paris made him understand that a Jewish state was necessary to remove the problem of anti-semitism entirely.
Herzl was seen as a crazy man in his time, and he certainly had some offbeat ideas, such as the idea for a mass conversion to Christianity (which was swiftly despatched), but his vision for a Jewish state became reality.
A modern day Moses, Herzl never saw the country he envisaged, but due to his actions, and the actions of the Zionist leaders that followed, in 1948 the State of Israel came into being.

Theodor Herzl (2 May 1860 - 3 July 1904) was an Austro-Hungarian Jewish journalist and political activist who was the father of modern political Zionism. Herzl formed the Zionist Organization and promoted Jewish immigration to Palestine in an effort to form a Jewish state. “We shall have to spirit the penniless population across the border by procuring employment for them in the transit country’s while denying it any employment in our own country. Both the process of expropriation and the removal of the poor must be carried out discreetly and circumspectly.” (Theodore Herzl June 1895 - The complete diaries of Theodore Herzel Volume I page 88). “It is essential that the sufferings of Jews. . . become worse. . . this will assist in realization of our plans. . .I have an excellent idea. . . I shall induce antisemites to liquidate Jewish wealth. . . The antisemites will assist us thereby in that they will strengthen the persecution and oppression of Jews. The antisemites shall be our best friends”. (From the Theodor Herzl Diary, Part I, pp. 16)

[@suzanneberns3586]

You are mentioning that Herzl had no Jewish education, which is not totally accurate. Until the age of 10 Herzl went to a Jewish school. His grandfather was a religious Jew who went to the same Synagogue as Rav Jehuda Alkalaj. He accompanied his father regularly on Shabbat and on the holidays to Synagogue. He read the Haftara on his Barmizwa in the Dohany Synagogue in Pest (Budapest). His family was assimilated, but traditional.

Hello Suzanne. I am not from any country related at all with Ideology, nor from EUA. Since the recent militar conflict I have been trying to informa myself from ground zero with unbiased information and it seems that most people that talk about everything related to Israel and Palestine have a stand view. I am not interested in texts backed by any religion or belief, I am interested more in the things that happen. You say that Herzl was actually educated in the most important years as a Jew, and it totally changes the narrative if we were to take into account any and all actions of Herzl, If you would be so kind to point me in the directions on where to find sources as unbiased as they can be, I would be thankful.

Isaiah Berlin wrote a great essay on Chaim Weissman. "Russian Jews were like a medieval iceberg that began to melt with enlightenment ideas." "After 1881 assassination of Alexander II pogroms started" (cf Fiddler on the Roof set in 1905) The British offered Herzl land in Uganda and he said Yes. The medieval Russian Jews wouldn't hear of anywhere but Palestine. The Russians had been living in their own isolated state (the Pale) and had the skills to reproduce that self-sufficient community. "The Zionist project could never have succeeded without the Russian Jews" I'm only half way through it. All quotes are paraphrased.

[@shainazion4073]

There were no Palestinians. It was a truly underpopulated and underdeveloped land. One look at the statistics will prove that. In 1860, there were 350,000 people in the entire land, today there are over 14 million. There were between 250,000 and 350,000 people in the land for thousands of years. That amount would fit in less than half of Jerusalem and leave the rest of the country empty.

@@anglojojo Oh, well yes, he was a secular man. Zionism was a Jewish nationalistic project, not a religious one.

Another myth of Jewish history : Herzl never created Zionism. Herzl never created the wave of a political form of Zionism. In fact, Herzl did not even create the term associated with this political stance known as, Political Zionism And when Herzl envisaged his first conference on all of this, after the secular Jew was won over by Zionism, and this relatively new identiti, Political Zionism and the need for the emergence of a Jewish state, he chose Munich as the location desired for his conference, and, well, the Jews of Munich said in essence, "move along". This was the country of the birthplace of all these modern concepts, yet these German Jews, as a whole, had no desire for Palestine as a location for them to reside in. And the person who did create these terms and defined modern Zionism, and created the word itself, well, he defected from his own movement, and later Herzl became the front man.

[@ettybenartzy2011]

man you are so confused! the Jewish leadership did not want the congress to happen in Munich for one simple reason - they were afraid of the antisemites who will dub them as unpatriotic to Germany - especially in wake of the whole Dreyfus affair - no "move along" there

@@antoniussamuelson3748 I am not changing anything, it is just that the elders of your people have been lying to you. It does'nt look good to say the creator of Zionism defected from his own movement, so they just pencil in Herzl as doer of all Birnbaum and the early others did.

In Herzl's time the "Palestinians" were the Jews, Arabs called themselves Syrians.
