Excerpt from The Zionist Movement: Its Aims and Achievements
Although there is now quite a voluminous literature upon the Zionist movement, there is no need to apologise for a further contribution on the subject. Parliamentary debates and newspaper articles in various countries show that the aims and aspirations of the movement are still misunderstood and misrepresented, and this lack of appreciation is prevalent even in Jewish circles. The present pamphlet is issued, therefore, in the hope of disseminating a better knowledge of the Jewish national ideal, and of securing wider sympathy and support in its favour. It has also been prompted by the necessity of providing a concise history in popular form of the Zionist movement from its early beginnings to the present day. Young as Zionism is, it has already passed through a considerable development both from a practical and theoretical point of view, and the official pamphlet, "Ten Years of Zionism," issued in 1907, is now out of date. The present publication reviews the work accomplished until the close of the Tenth Zionist Congress, and takes note of a pregnant phenomenon - the Turkish Revolution - which had been undreamt of five years ago. It is the record of a great national movement whose progress is determined both by internal and external forces, and whose subsequent evolution must be followed with attention by all who have any interest in the travails of the Jewish people.
