Excerpt from Zionism and the Jewish Problem A people without a homeland of its own, without a centre in which its individuality can take shape in concrete institu tions, loseslthe respect both of itself and'of other peoples. Respect demands understanding; but the Jewish people, situated as' it is at present, cannot be understood - it cannot be understood even by Jews, and they begin to have doubts of its existence, because it has no recognised central institu tions through which its ideas and aspirations can voice themselves.' Hence, too, Judaism is always in solution. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Jewish Problem, How to Solve It Why is it that liberalism has failed to eliminate the Ah ti-jewish prejudice? It is because the liberal movement has not yet brought full liberty. Enlightened countries grant to the individual equality before the law; but they fail still to recognize the equality of whole peoples or nationalities. We seek to protect as individuals those constituting a minority; but we fail to realize that protection cannot be complete um less group equality also is recognized. Deeply imbedded in every people is the desire for full development - the longing, as Mazzini phrased it to elaborate and express their idea, to contribute their stone also to the pyramid of history. Nationality like democracy has been one of the potent forces making for man's advance during the past hundred years. The assertion of nationality has infused whole peeples with hope, manhood and self-respect. It has ennobled and made purposeful millions of lives. It offered them a future, and in doing so revived and capitalized all that was valuable in their past. The assertion of nation ality raised Ireland from the slough of despondency. It roused Southern Slavs to heroic deeds. It created gallant Belgium. It freed Greece. It gave us united Italy. It man ifested itself even among free peoples - like the Welsh who had no grievance, but who gave expression to their nationality through the revival of the old Cymric tongue. Each of these peeples developed because, as Mazzini said, they were enabled to proclaim to the world that they also live, think, love and labor for the benefit of all.

Excerpt from Zionism and the Jewish Future What is called the "Jewish problem" presents itself under different aspects in different countries, but when we get beneath temporary and accidental features, the problem is seen to be essentially that of fitting into the modern world a national group which has survived from ancient times without the ordinary attributes of nationhood. This is equally true whether the problem be regarded from within or from without, from the point of view of the Jew or from that of the world. The modern world sets the Jew the problem of maintaining some sort of distinctive existence without the external props of territorial sovereignty and a political machine, and the Jew sets the modern world the problem of finding for him a place in its social structure which shall enable him to live as a human being without demanding that he cease to be a Jew. In both cases what gives the problem its peculiar character is the fact that the Jews, regarded simply as Jews, as members of the national group to which Palestine belonged 2,000 years ago, no longer possess that national unity which is expressed in and secured by possession of a homeland, a common language, and common institutions.
