1870 - Zionism

• “I consider the Jewish question neither a social nor a religious one, even though it sometimes takes these and other forms. It is a national question, and to solve it we must first of all establish it as an international political problem to be discussed and settled by the civilized nations of the world in council. Theodor Herzl, the

father of political Zionism, outlined his vision for a Jewish state in Der Judenstaat (The Jewish State), published in February 1896

WWI Promises• Balfour Declaration – If Jews help Britain win the war,

Britain will help Jews achieve homeland• If Palestinians help fight against the Ottomans, Britain will help

them establish independence after the war•

Dear Lord Rothschild,I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet:"His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country".I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.

Yours sincerelyArthur James Balfour1917
