19 sett 1919 anni - "Leading upward and upward: Herzl, the
Zionist Conference, the British Uganda
proposition, the future world war, the peace
conference, where with the help of England a
free and Jewish Palestine will be created."
-The Nineteenth Century and After 1930-05
Descrizione:
September 19, 1919, Litman Rosenthal recorded at length an important speech by Dr. Max Nordau shortly after this Conference, which, he states, startled a large audience 'like a mighty thunder.'
"We were all trembling and awestruck as if we had seen a vision of old."
This speech is remarkable, if correctly reported, as a key to Zionist policy. With burning eloquence Nordau recalled the 'ladder' which Cavour projected to attain his ends, and, explaining Herzl's designs, drew the striking parallel of the Zionist forecast:
"Leading upward and upward: Herzl, the Zionist Conference, the British Uganda proposition, the future world war, the peace conference, where with the help of England a free and Jewish Palestine will be created."
In an address at the Cannon Street Hotel on September 21, 1919, Dr. Chaim Weizmann, on whom the mantles of Herzl and Nordau have descended, said that the Zionist movement was entirely due to the efforts of 'a small band of foreign Jews' who said to 'the British statesmen':
"The Jews will get to Palestine whether you want it or not. There is no power on earth that can stop the Jews from getting to Palestine."
