		At the urging of Lord Shaftesbury, Britain established a consulate in Jerusalem in 1838, the first diplomatic appointment in the Land of Israel.
		Within Zionist literature, the Arab presence was largely ignored, as in the famous slogan "A land without a people for a people without a land." This slogan is often attributed to Israel Zangwill, but its original form, "A country without a nation for a nation without a country," was penned by Lord Shaftesbury.

		At the Congress, the Zionist platform was formulated with this mission statement: "Zionism aspires to establish a homeland for the Jewish people, guaranteed by international law, in the land of Israel."
		The Zionist movement aimed to solve the "Jewish problem," the problem of a perennial minority, a people subjected to repeated pogroms and persecution, a homeless community whose alienism was underscored by discrimination wherever Jews settled.
		And not all Jews were Zionists; for many reasons, large numbers of Jews did not support all or part of the Zionist agenda in any of its forms.

		The book in question is a 10th grade history book called, “History of Modern and Contemporary World." The section cited by Minister Sharansky appears on page 63 of the book, which is already in use in PA schools.
		The issue of anti-Semitism in PA textbooks has outraged the US Congress in the past, and has resulted in legislation limiting funding to the PA. Sharansky hopes that proof of continued PA incitement will convince Bush that the PA is not living up to its promises.
