Zionists Seek Palestine to Secure Jewish Nationality
The eleventh Zionist congress opened in Vienna on August 21 with Dr. Max Nordau outlining Zionism as a path for Jews to return to Palestine. He said Jews should reclaim land, found colonies, and build a culture in their own state while preserving occidental heritage. He noted Zionism is for Jews who feel distinct nationality, and that others may remain as they are by staying in their countries. The movement spans the globe with a Berlin-based five-member committee heading the congress, funded by annual shekel contributions.
