Deep dives

The Origins of the Zionist Movement

The Zionist movement emerged as a response to the rise of European nationalism and anti-Semitism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The movement aimed to create a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Theodore Herzl, one of the founders of modern political Zionism, initially proposed promoting mass conversion of Jews to Christianity as a solution to the 'Jewish problem.' However, the idea of a separate Jewish homeland gained traction, particularly as anti-Semitic sentiments grew. Palestine was chosen as the location for the Jewish homeland due to its historical significance for Jewish people and its appeal to British interests in the Middle East. The establishment of Israel in 1948 resulted in the dispossession and displacement of Palestinians, as well as ongoing conflict.
