1896 - The Beginning
A pamphlet named Der Judenstaat (The Jewish State) was written and published by the Austrian journalist Theodor Herzl. In his Jewish State theory the Jewish writer suggested the creation of a Jewish State for the Jews in Palestine or Argentina. In 1897 Herzl convened the First Zionist Congress at Basle. The Congress recommended the colonization of Palestine by the Jews and authorized Herzl to convince the Ottoman Khaliff Sultan Abdulhamid II. But Herzl’s efforts in this regard failed. Herzl turned to the British Government and asked for Uganda for the purpose of colonization and his request was accepted. After the death of Herzl, considering the weakness of the Ottoman Government at that time, the leaders of Seventh Zionist Congress held in 1905 rejected the Uganda Project and declared that Palestine was the Promised Land described by the Hebrew Bible according to the researches made at the end of the Nineteenth Century by the Hebrew Bible researchers. The Zionists gave the green light for the immigration activities by the Jew Settlers to Palestine.
The British Balfour Declaration
In the I World War, The Ottoman Empire collapsed before the international imperialist aggression of the super powers committed to Zionism at that time. Gen. Allenby the commander of the British Forces occupied Palestine after the Salt Castle Massacre. The Zionists under the leadership of Chaim Weizman found the chance to convince the British Government to issue a declaration of sympathy with their aspirations. This declaration was embodied in a letter dated 2 November 1917 addressed by Arthur James Balfour, then British Foreign Minister, to Lord Rothschild. In this declaration one nation is promising to a second nation the country of a third nation. The declaration stated as follows:
2 November 1917
‘Dear Lord Rothschild,
I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty’s Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations, which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet.
‘His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment on Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.
‘I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.’
Arthur James Balfour
Sykes-Picot Agreement
After the defeat of the 'Outhmany nation in the First World War, the area was redrawn and distributed between Britain and France according to the "Sykes-Picot" agreement. So Palestine submitted to the British occupation at the same time when the ratios of Jewish immigration began to increase with support from the non-Muslim countries.
