  Leon Pinsker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leon Pinsker (1821-1891) was a physician, a Zionist pioneer and activist, and the founder and leader of the Hovevei Zion movement.
Leon attended his father's private school in Odessa and was one of the first Jews to attend Odessa University, where he studied law.
Eventually Pinsker came to agree with Moses Lilienblum that hatred of Jews was rooted in the fact that they were foreigners everywhere except their original homeland, the Land of Israel.

 Leon (Yehuda Leib) Pinsker (1821-1891)

Leon Pinsker was born in Poland in 1821.
Pinsker stated that the reason for the old-new Jewish problem was the existence of the Jews as a separate ethnic entity among the nations, an entity which could not be assimilated.
Pinsker directed his attacks against Western Jewry, the "diploma chasers" who viewed the dispersion of Jews throughout the world as a "mission." Moreover, the religious approach that the exile must be suffered in silence until the coming of the Messiah also weakened the desire for a Jewish homeland.

 Judeophobia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was invented by Zionist Leon Pinsker and first appeared in his pamphlet Autoemancipation, published anonymously in German in September 1882.
As a professional physician, Pinsker preferred the clinical-sounding term Judeophobia to anti-Semitism (introduced three years earlier by Wilhelm Marr), which he regarded as a misnomer.
Pinsker was convinced that pathological, irrational phobia may explain this millennia-old hatred:

 Pinsker v. Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists (1974) 12 C3d 541
Pinsker was given no indication that he might be in violation of the societies' nondelegation rule and no opportunity either in writing or in person to present his side of the story.
Pinsker was entitled, however, to a ruling on his membership application by the defendant associations pursuant to a fair procedure; the trial judge possessed neither the professional expertise nor the discretionary latitude of such associations, and consequently his decision is not an adequate substitute for a determination by such bodies.
FN 18 At the time Dr. Pinsker applied for membership, an applicant was required to have been in the exclusive practice of orthodontics and to have completed an orthodontics course of a minimum of 1,500 hours at an approved dental school.

 Jewish Scholarship
Pinsker was an “intellectual” and in his own words, “a diploma chaser.” He founded the Choveveh Zion or Lovers of Zion movement over which he presided until a few years before his death.
Pinsker recognized sixty years before the Europeans murdered one third of the Jewish people that our degrees, books, scholarly prizes, Talmud study, professorships, even occasional genius would do us no good and was nothing more than a delusion.
The Jews of Europe, once more using the words of Pinsker “………were robbed, plundered and dishonored and…….without the protection of law.” In view of this one thousand year old condition, the Jews of Europe turned inward upon their own culture and their own community.

 Achad Ha'am: An Open Letter to My Brethren: Leon Pinsker and his Pamphlet, Auto-Emancipation

Pinsker had written the pamphlet Auto-Emancipation, but it was ignored for several years, until rising antisemitism in Russia made his thesis popular.

 Re: Al-Qaeda claims London bombings
Leon Pinsker and Hovevei Tziyon - Inspired by the anti-Semitic violence in Russia, Leon Pinsker formulated the modern idea of Zionism in a small pamphlet called Auto-Emancipation, published in 1882.
Pinsker believed that anti-Semitism was inevitable as long as Jews were guests in every country and at home nowhere, and wrote that the Jews' only salvation lay in liberating themselves and settling in their own country.
Pinsker favored "political Zionism," that is, organization of Jews in Europe and petitioning the great powers for land on which to establish a national home.

Abraham Leon draws on Marx to prove that the supposed originality of the Jewish People has material and historical causes, with not relations to Jehovah, or to an immutable racial pseudo “essence” as has been posed by Zionists and anti-Zionists alike.
Leon sets out in search of the origins of the Jewish people and arrives at an important and rich notion of people-class.
And quite rightly so, A Leon recalls that it is precisely there that the main obstacle on the way towards the realisation of Zionism lies, the key to understand the crisis of Palestine ever since the foundation of the State of Israel.

 Zionism
Pinsker came up with what he thought was the only possible solution to anti-Semitism: the Jews must have their own homeland, so they would not be unwanted guests in other people's countries.
When one views Pinsker's ideology in the context of the aschalta deigeula one cannot help noticing an uncanny outer resemblance between this, and the Vilna Gaon's plan of "the revealed end." Both are, in effect, a "do it yourself geula" plan, both could be called auto emancipation.
Pinsker realized that he could not get enough support for his idea from the ranks of the assimilated Jews called the maskilim.
