Rabbi Magnin, well-known lecturer, predicted the downfall of the Zionist movement the democracies are unsuccessful in their war against dictatorships.
The Zionist movement is not a religious movement, but is a nationwide and political movement rising out of an age of nationalism, explained Rabbi Magnin.
Theodore Hertzel, newspaper correspondent for a Vienna paper, originated the idea in 1895 at the time of the Widely-publicized Dreyfus case. Hertzel contended that the Jews should have their own nation in which to develop their own culture. Ironically enough, the German Jews were the chief opponents to Hertzel’s Zionistic ideas.
The Zionist movement remained in a dormant stage until the Balfour declaration after the World War I. This decree provided for a homeland for Jews in Palestine.
“Following the Balfour declaration, new types of Jews, mainly youths and the Einsteins of Europe, migrated to Palestine. The Zionist movement grew by leaps and bounds,” Rabbi Magnin pointed out.
“The youth of the Jewish peoples built up the Waste land they bought at exhorbitant prices from the Arab landowners. New hospitals, modem machinery, and (he
