Birth of Zionism

Between 1882 and 1903, approximately 35,000 Jews moved to Palestine, known as the First Aliyah.[197] In the Russian Empire, Jews faced growing persecution and legal restrictions. Half the world's Jews lived in the Russian Empire, where they were restricted to living in the Pale of Settlement. Severe pogroms in the early 1880s and legal repression led to 2 million Jews emigrating from the Russian Empire. 1.5 million went to the United States. Popular destinations were also Germany, France, England, Holland, Argentina and Palestine.[198][199]
Russian Jews established the Bilu and Hovevei Zion ("Lovers of Zion") movements with the aim of settling in Palestine. In 1878, Russian Jewish emigrants established the village of Petah Tikva ("The Beginning of Hope"), followed by Rishon LeZion ("First to Zion") in 1882. The existing Ashkenazi-Jewish communities were concentrated in the Four Holy Cities, extremely poor and relied on donations (halukka) from groups abroad, while the new settlements were small farming communities, but still relied on funding by the French Baron, Edmond James de Rothschild, who sought to establish profitable enterprises. Many early migrants could not find work and left, but despite the problems, more settlements arose and the community grew. After the Ottoman conquest of Yemen in 1881, a large number of Yemenite Jews also emigrated to Palestine, often driven by Messianism.[200]
In 1896 Theodor Herzl published Der Judenstaat (The Jewish State), in which he asserted that the solution to growing antisemitism in Europe (the so-called "Jewish Question") was to establish a Jewish state. In 1897, the World Zionist Organization was founded and the First Zionist Congress proclaimed its aim "to establish a home for the Jewish people in Palestine secured under public law."[201] The Congress chose Hatikvah ("The Hope") as its anthem.
Between 1904 and 1914, around 40,000 Jews settled in the area now known as Israel (the Second Aliyah). In 1908 the World Zionist Organization set up the Palestine Bureau (also known as the "Eretz Israel Office") in Jaffa and began to adopt a systematic Jewish settlement policy.[202] In 1909 residents of Jaffa bought land outside the city walls and built the first entirely Hebrew-speaking town, Ahuzat Bayit (later renamed Tel Aviv).[203]

What is so sad and strange to me is that the Jewish people have a centuries-long history of being hated by so-called Christians and driven out of nation after nation because "they killed Christ".
They are an indigenous tribe, indigenous to the lands now called Israel. They have been hated by some so-called Christians for centuries just like other so-called Christians called Native Americans "savages" and justified kidnapping their children and putting them in boarding schools.
Don't erase our history: The Jewish people are indigenous to the land of Israel - MinnPost
It makes no sense to hate GROUPS of people unless they are all criminals, like organized crime groups. But not all Palestinians are Hamas and not all Jews are Netanyahu supporters.
The Jews are indigenous to the land in question. Their tribe and the other tribes have been fighting over the land for CENTURIES, much the way the Vikings fought over Northern Europe for hundreds of years.
WHY do you think all those White people in Europe are all White, yet they are proud Danes or Swedes or Norwegians or Brits and will compete madly against one another on soccer fields and at the Olympics? It's because their WISE leaders CHOSE, finally decided, that productivity and family life are better, superior, to war and fighting.
They established boundaries for their respective lands, established laws to rule their nations, and CHOSE to work on being productive, making, growing and selling things, getting their children well-educated, and CHOSE to turn away from the old habit of tribal wars.
They chose a new way of life.
Unfortunately, we still have Putin and his oligarchs.
They have not gotten the memo yet about how great peace can be, so Putin's still trying the old model of World Domination.
I dearly hope and pray that all the tribes in the region of Israel will get the memo and opt for TWO STATES. Peace is better than war. How many centuries does it take to learn that? The answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind.
