“Do you really think that my sole
motivation in coming here is to better
myself …. No. My ultimate aim, like that of
many others, is greater, broader,
incomprehensible but not unattainable.
The final goal is eventually to gain a
control of Palestine and to restore the
Jewish people the political independence
of which it has been deprived for two
thousand years.”
(Vladimir Dubnow, 1882)

First Zionist Congress, Basle,
Switzerland in 1897
“Were I to sum up the Basle Congress in a
word - which I shall guard against
pronouncing publicly - it would be this: ‘At
Basle, I founded the Jewish State.’ If I said
this out loud today, I would be answered
by universal laughter. If not in 5 years,
certainly in 50, everyone will know it.”
(Theodor Herzl, 1897)
