 | | Herut, the daily organ of the opposition party, maintained that this was done intentionally, in order to belittle the significance of Herzl, according to the old Revisionist argument that the Zionist labor movement abandoned Herzl's legacy (see Y. Netz, "Kavranei Herzl," Herut, 29 July 1949 [Hebrew]). |
 | | Mount Herzl, on the other hand, epitomizes the Zionist notion of Israeli patriotism in the manner in which it evinces and celebrates the Zionist argument about Jewish national revival and restoration as a valid option of national redemption. |
 | | The reinterment of Herzl was meant to concretize the Zionist ethos in terms of a sacred place and to support, through the myth of the founding father, the legitimacy of the state as the fulfillment of Herzl's vision. |
