Then suddenly the storm breaks upon him. The clouds open. The thunder rolls. The lightning flashes about him. A thousand impressions beat upon him at the same time—a gigantic vision. He cannot think; he is unable to move; he can only write; breathless, unreflecting, unable to control himself or to exercise his critical faculties lest he dam the eruption, he dashes down his thoughts on scraps of paper—walking, standing, lying down, on the street, at the table, in the night—as if under unceasing command. So furiously did the cataract of his thoughts rush through him, that he thought he was going out of his mind. He was not working out the idea. The idea was working him out. It would have been an hallucination had it not been so informed by reason from first to last. In fact, it was revised from the moment the Zionist movement was organized on an international basis. The "Society of Jews" became the Zionist Organization, with its statutes, its procedures, its public excitement and controversies. "The Jewish Company" became the Bank; then more specifically, the Jewish Colonial Trust and later the Anglo-Palestine Bank. The description of the Gestor, which appears in the final chapter of the pamphlet, was never referred to again, but in effect it was incorporated in the idea of a state in-the-process-of-becoming. Its legitimate successor is the Jewish Agency referred to in the Mandate for Palestine. He was first led by the idea that the way to the charter was through the Sultan and that the Sultan would be influenced by Kaiser Wilhelm. But both princes failing him, he turned to England and Joseph Chamberlain, and came to the Uganda proposal. This was Herzl's one political success although the project was, in effect, rejected by the Zionist Congress. But this encounter with England was a precedent which led to much speculation in Zionist circles and gave a turn to Zionist thought away from Germany and Turkey. It served to inspire Dr. Chaim Weizman to make his home in England with the express purpose of seeking English sympathy for the Zionist ideal. The successor of Joseph Chamberlain was Arthur James Balfour. When Herzl opened Chamberlain's door, Zionism had an easier access to the England of Balfour. Arrayed in the armor of democracy, the Zionist movement made the self-emancipation ideal of Pinsker live in the soul of Herzl. At a number of Congresses, in his articles in Die Welt, Herzl showed how that idea had become an integral part of his life, although his first thoughts ran in quite another direction. But his analysis of anti-Semitism and how to approach the problem remains true today after Hitler, as it was true then after Dreyfus. This was the authentic revelation that in his last days was fixed in his mind. The homelessness of the Jewish people must come to an end. That tragedy is a world problem. It is to be solved by world statesmanship in cooperation with the reawakened Jewish people. It is to be solved by the establishment of a free Jewish State in their historic Homeland. Herzl manifested his utter identification with the destiny of his own people at the Uganda Congress when he faced the rebellious Russian Zionists, spoke words of consolation to them and gave them assurances of his fealty to Zion. He died a few months later
The Jewish State eBook Theodor Herzl
A document of historical interest and significance, Herzl's Jewish State argues that Jews will never be fully accepted as a minority in any country, and that therefore they must form a separate state. He proceeds to outline in bold, imaginative terms, just how that might be possible. His assumptions are that there will be a great deal more cooperation and solidarity with the Jewish State than was actually the case. Though he calls on religious themes of the "Promised Land", he assures that there will be a secular state. If you are interested in the genesis of Zionism, then you must read this at some point. This particular copy was laden with sloppy typos, and had just the bare bones text; no introduction or context is provided. You may wish to find a better publisher, though this text itself is workable at least.Product details

The Jewish State eBook Theodor Herzl Reviews
The seminal work on Zionism offering clear insight into the author's assessment of the tenuous state of both assimilated and more traditional Jews in Europe. A "must read" for anyone who seeks understanding of the origins and aspirations of the Jewish state.
Arrived as advertised. I am happy with the purchase.
Excellent from historical perspective. Herzl was brilliant and very insightful.
Text is very difficult to read. Very long and complex thoughts in same paragraphs. It is a manifesto written over a century ago. You must read it with this in mind. Don't expect it to read like a novel.or you will never get through it.
This book is a must read for anyone who is interested in the history of the modern state of Israel. It's touching and inspiring to read about the meager and humble beginnings of a modern world power. Recommended.
This is the booklet that set in motion the zionist movement that ultimately led to the creation of the state of Israel. Written in a hotel room in Paris at the end of the 19th century, Hertzl's analysis of European anti-semitism and its inevitable consequences is surprisingly accurate. It's an easy read, although the fixed-width font is an unfortunate choice.
Dr. Herzl writes in "The Jewish State" to the Jewish people and others on how to obtain a Jewish state and how to implement the tactics and strategies to obtain that independent state. Although brilliant and it is cited throughout the literature as a cornerstone of all such works, it is, nevertheless, filled with, well, limitations, Herzl nowhere in his writing discusses the difficulties imposed by founding a nation (palestine) in which natives (palestinians) already reside. relations with the muslim nations and its eventual role as broker between russia and the united state are also not discussed, although, in all fairness, this could not be seen. Reading this after the Armenian genocide and the Holocaust provides the reader with tremendous insights into his arguments and the passions of his arguments. Again, the tactics that he proposed were those of a man fully devoted to an issue but who didn't have a complete grasp of all of the issues. Brilliant work by a man who sacrificed so much for the realization of an Israeli state. I highly recommend your reviewing this seminal work - I bought it on for 99 cents. I wouldn't recommend buying it at $80 - read it at a public library. I give this an A-!!!
Herzl is perhaps the best known proponent of zionism, and the ideological founder of the State of Israel. His ideals were utopian and despite of the the controversy with zionism, the writings shows his belief of modernity, nationalism and equality between Jews and Arabs. His ideals are not realized as we see in today's Middle Eastern conflicts, but his belief for Jewish emancipation and the ideals of a nation for Jews but not ONLY for Jews is something all Jews can learn, perhaps especially in Israel.
