Theodore Hertzl (1860-1904). Considered the father of modern Zionsim. His experience as a young journalist in France covering the Dreyfus trial greatly influenced his belief that anti-Semitism was unavoidable, and that the only solution was for Jews to immigrate to their own land. His reaction was to publish Der Judenstaadt in 1896, which argued that the Jewish problem was essentially a political one that required a political solution – the establishment of a Jewish State. One year later, he convened the First Zionist Congress in Basel, Switzerland, where he boldly declared, “Zionism seeks to establish a home for the Jewish people in Palestine secured under public law.” His efforts came to fruition only 50 years later, when David Ben Gurion read Israel’s Proclamation of Independence in Tel Aviv, beneath a picture of Theodore Hertzl.
