Document Summary
Start of conflict typically 1882 and onwards. Number of jews that reject zionism drastically drop after rise of hitler. Zionists: people, mainly jews, who support the quest by jews to return to zion from the diaspora. Tangible issues in conflict: 1) sovereignty over land, 2) demography, land purchase, and migration, 3)borders. 19th century saw the rise of arab nationalism. Palestinians never had any form of national independence; indigenous people had no role in political structures. Clear sense of national identity without right to self-determination. Herzl publishes der judenstaat in 1895, which leads to 1897 zionist conference to organize and mobilize around this idea. Refers to a french- jewish captain accused of being a german spy. Convicted even though lacking evidence, causing mass anti-semetic protests in france. 1897 basle declaration: summary of what zionism stands for. Begins talking about transportation of jews to palestine. Created the kabutz system, where all things would be shared, including work and resources.
