  3. Herzl, the Jewish Question, and The Jewish State “I consider the Jewish question neither social nor religious. It is a national question…. Let sovereignty be granted to us over a portion of the globe large enough to satisfy the rightful requirements of a nation… Palestine is our historic home. The very name of Palestine would attract our people with a force of marvelous potency.…The Jews who wish for a state will have it.” Theodor Herzl The Jewish State (1896)

  4. A Land Without a People? “We abroad are used to believe the EretzYisrael is almost totally desolate, a desert that is not sowed..... But in truth that is not the case. Throughout the country it is difficult to find fields that are not sowed. Only sand dunes and stony mountains are not cultivated… …if the time comes when the life of our people in EretzYisraeldevelops to the point of encroaching upon the native population, they will not easily yield their place.” AhadHa’am Truth From Eretz Israel (1891)

  5. Zionist Land Purchases (1878-1914) Total Land Purchased = 418,000 Dunums From Large Absentee Landlords = 25% From Large Resident Landlords = 25% From Institutions = 37.5% From Palestinian Peasant Owners = 12.5% Source: Rashid Khalidi, Palestinian Identity, p. 112.
