A Jewish State
Gelesen von Adrian Praetzellis
Theodor Herzl
(4,711 Sterne; 38 Bewertungen)
Read in English, this is a pivotal document in the history of Zionism and the State of Israel. Herzl designed this work to elevate the discussion of "the Jewish Question" so it would "no longer take the form of violent abuse or sentimental vindication but of a debate, practical, large, earnest, and political." While few of Herzl's proposals were actually carried out, the importance of A JEWISH STATE was in the groundswell of support for a Jewish homeland engendered by its solutions to the practical problems of establishing a new state. In the words of a contemporary, "[Herzl] made it seem possible." Benjamin Ze’ev Herzl (1860-1904) was a Hungarian writer, political economist, and Jewish activist.

Great insight, Great reader

Amazing reader, not to mention how interesting the content is, Dr Herzl is extremely intelligent and writes with amazing insight and predicts things to come. This is a good read for a vague understanding and insight of Israel and the Jewish struggle and Zionism. It explains how the setting up of Israel would have happened it briefly touches on what the constitution and government form may be but apart from that it is a purely experimental piece of how the country would at least begin to have its foundations set, it addresses possible problems and critics. It takes a realistic approach to the “Jewish question” at the time from a Jewish perspective and a Zionist one at that. Very good definitely enlightening much to gain from listening to this irrespective of your beliefs.

Ideas don't develop in a vacuum. By 1896 Zionism (in the form presented by Herzl) had arrived at its time. These days it is often forgotten, or more often never learned, that there were reasons why Herzl identified and developed his idea. However Israel appears and how it develops in the future does not alter the causes that brought modern political Zionism onto the international stage. Another effective reading by Adrian Praetzellis.
