	Zionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Early Zionist groups such as Hibbat Zion were active in the 1880s in the Eastern Europe where emancipation had not occurred to the extent it did in Western Europe (or at all).
		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.
		After the World Zionist Organization rejected Jabotinsky's proposals, he resigned from the organization and founded the New Zionist Organization in 1933 to promote his views and work independently for immigration and the establishment of a state.

	World Zionist Organization (WZO)
		The Zionist Organization was founded by Theodor Herzl at the First Zionist Congress in Basle in 1897; it was renamed the World Zionist Organization in 1960.
		The Zionist Organization was initially given the status of a Jewish Agency.
		On November 24, 1952, the Knesset passed the "Zionist Organization - Jewish Agency for Israel Status Law", and later a covenant was signed between the government of Israel and the Zionist Executive, according to which the organizations' main areas of responsibility remained those related to aliya, immigrant absorption and settlement.

	The Story of Zionism
		Before the official founding of the World Zionist Organisation by Herzl in 1897, the spearhead of the movement was the Hovevei Zion, most of whose members were based in Russia.
		When Herzl founded the World Zionist Organisation in Basle at the First Zionist Congress (1897), it was meant to absorb all of the Eastern European and other Zionist organisations that had existed heretofore.
		At the 7th Zionist Congress held in 1905 (after Herzl’ death) a resolution was passed rejecting territories other than Palestine for the creation of the Jewish State which lead a small group to leave the movement and form the Jewish Territorial Organisation.

		Herzl's idea was not new but he gave it power by forming the World Zionist Organisation in 1897.
		Zionists not only sponsored emigration to Palestine, but also persuaded Britain, the colonial authority, to allow them a measure of self-government through the Jewish Agency.
		In 1948, the formation of the state of Israel was a triumphant realisation of the Zionist dream.

	Caution Zionism
		Shortly after the Kiev Zionists had received instructions from the centre in London on measures to be taken in connection with this clear statement of Britain's firm intention of gaining possession of all regions adjoining the Suez Canal by any means possible, a notorious adventurist Vladimir Jabotinsky made his appearance in the Ukraine.
		The question of the formation of the World Jewish Congress (with Goldmann as one of its leaders) as the ante-room to the World Zionist Organisation, could thus be regarded as settled.
		Zionist leader, writer, sculptor and politician in whose Berlin office such prominent Zionists as Arthur Ruppin and Jacob Thon had worked in their time, [29] Nossig together with the nazis designed the plan for destroying aged and needy German Jews.

	PREFACE & CHAPT.1-ZIONISM & ANTI-SEMITISM PRIOR TO THE HOLOCAUST
		The WZO's leaders understood that the British government saw the crushing of the Bolsheviks as its top priority, and that they had to be on their best behaviour, not merely in terms of insignificant Palestine, but in their activities in the volatile East European arena.
		The world Zionist movement, always concerned for British rulingclass opinion, never pushed its local groupings in the direction of the left, although the radicals were the only mass force on the ground that was prepared to defend the Jews.
		The policies of the early WZO were continued, in all essentials, by Chaim Weizmann, the main leader of the organisation during the Hitler epoch.

		With the outbreak of the War, the administrative centre and leadership of the WZO were cut off.
		This was Weizmann’s most obvious personal achievement and had the effect of emphatically confirming his leadership of the world Zionist movement.
		The groundwork for this triumph of Weizmann’s policy was nevertheless achieved, according to Harry Sacher, "in the Manchester Period and by the Manchester men" - and Manchester Jewry celebrated the Declaration enthusiastically.

	The Zionist Shekel
		By establishing the Zionist Organization on these new principles, the Zionist Congress also created the concept of Jewish citizenship and introduced the principle of elective leadership which was to be directly responsible to its electors - the people.
		The Zionist Organization was not intended to become another party, although its opponents attempted to stamp it as such.
		In view of the continual fluctuation in the number of Shekel-payers and in the amounts derived from the Shekel, it is impossible to establish a systematic plan for educational and propaganda activities, with the inevitable consequence of a weakening in the influence and prestige of the Organization.

	THE WORLD ZIONIST ORGANISATION AND ITALIAN FASCISM, 1933-1937
		Through the reports he gave at the time to the British and the report of Victor Jacobson of the Zionist Executive, in addition to Italian documents, the record of the fourth meeting is fairly complete.
		Arguing the same case, he added that the Zionists would improve their own position vis-à-vis Britain by taking a pro-ltalian stand, as London would then be compelled to buy them off.
		Ittamar Ben-Avi, the famous 'Zionist baby', the first child in centuries whose earliest words were all in Hebrew, ran a pro-war piece in his sensationalist daily paper, Doar Ha'Yom, on 21 February 1936.[(17)] But from Italy's practical point of view, Ben-Avi's eager cooperation meant nothing.

	The Zionist Conspiracy To Divide The Arab States Into Small Units (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		In the long run, this world will be unable to exist within its present framework in the areas around us without having to go through genuine revolutionary changes.
		The Moslem Arab World is built like a temporary house of cards put together by foreigners (France and Britain in the Nineteen Twenties), without the wishes and desires of the inhabitants having been taken into account.
		The vision of a Christian Coptic State in upper Egypt alongside a number of weak states with very localized power and without a centralized movement as to date, is the key to a historical development which was only set back by the peace agreement but which seems inevitable in the long run.

		Theodor Herzl, father of political Zionism and founder of the World Zionist Organisation was born in 1860.
		Herzl considered that the Zionist movement's diplomatic achievements depended on Turkey, which at that time was in chronic financial difficulties and Herzl's strategy was therefore centred on a plan to gain the approval of the Sultan.
		It is of course possible that the draft Charter in the Central Zionist Archives is a later draft, although there does not seem to be any evidence to support the existence of such a later draft.

	ZIONISM AND ITALIAN FASCISM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		he World Zionist Organisation's attitude toward Italian Fascism was determined by one criterion: Italy's position on Zionism.
		The Labour Zionists were loosely affiliated to the underground Italian Socialist Party via the Socialist International and they complained, but the Italian Zionists were overjoyed.
		In the first years of the regime, the Zionists knew he resented their international affiliations, but that did not bring them to antiFascism and, certainly after the statements in 1927 by Sokolow and Sacerdoti, the Zionists could only be thought of as Mussolini's good friends.

	Protocols Decision Washed Out
		Great publicity was given throughout the world in 1935 to a decision in the Swiss Courts that the documents known as "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" were a forgery; that the judge had described the contents as "ridiculous nonsense"; and that the Protocols had been condemned as an offence against public morals.
		The "Times" attached importance to this positive evidence of the existence of the Protocols in 1906, because the Protocols contain a programme for the conquest of the world by subterfuge, and of this programme, world events from 1906 to 1920 were a fulfilment.
		Chief among these witnesses were Dr. Chaim Weizmann, president of the World Zionist Organisation and the Jewish World Agency, and Dr. Ehrenpries, chief rabbi of Sweden.

	BCCSA Judgement
		The gist of Ms Weekes’ complaint is that the introduction of the guest speaker was misleading because the connotation “BBC analyst” created the impression of unbiased and relatively objective reportage, and because the speaker’s connection to the World Zionist Organisation was omitted.
		At the hearing, evidence was produced that Mr Segal was the UK Director of the Hagshama Department of the World Zionist Organisation.
		In the present case we find that by introducing Mr Segal as a BBC analyst and by omitting to mention his ties with the World Zionist Organisation, an impression of objectivity was created which was not fair towards the listeners.

		Although the B'nei Zion Organization of America displayed as its emblem, a blue and white flag bearing two blue stripes on a white background with a Star of David in the centre, as early as 1891, this was not known to the leaders of the World Zionist Organisation.
		But, not until 1933 did the 18th Zionist Congress make it official by deciding that because of "love tradition, the blue-and-white flag is the flag of the Zionist Organisation and the Jewish people".
		On October 28 1948, the Provincial Council of State proclaimed it as the official flag of the State of Israel and in November 1949 it was unfurled at Lake Success in New York, when Israel became the 54th member of the United Nations.

		Keren Hayesod (Palestine Foundation Fund), the financial arm of the World Zionist Organisation, founded at the Zionist conference held in London in July 1920.
		Two basic views were expressed on the problem of how the World Zionist Organization should finance its work in Palestine after the important political gains made at the end of World War I. One group favoured the establishment of a company run on banking lines to promote undertakings solely on a business basis.
		The Keren Hayesod was to appeal to Zionists and non-Zionists alike for funds to finance on a nonprofit basis immigration and colonization in Palestine in order to lay the foundations of the Jewish National Home, as well as to encourage business enterprise in close cooperation with private capital.

		From 1920 until 1946 (with a break of four years), he was President of the World Zionist Organisation, but there was much opposition from within to his approach.
		He felt that as a result of the war, the Jewish position would become much worse, and “moreover, the idea of transfer of population was bound to become more acceptable to men's minds because the settlement eventually to be reached could not take the form of merely drawing new territorial frontiers.
		Clearly populations would have to be shifted, and the world would become more accustomed to this idea.” Weizmann considered that Palestine would be able to absorb three or four million Jewish immigrants, not in one go but within a measurable period of time.
