Herzl, The Jewish State

The Jews are one people, and deserve a country
-For hundreds of years the Jews have been forced to merge into other cultures
-They are oppressed and persecuted
-Most people still hold onto old prejudices against the Jews
-Jews are excluded from society
-This paper was not written to arose sympathy, but to gain support
-In Berlin, they yell "Juden Raus!" (Out with the Jews!)
-Where are the Jews to go 'out' to?
-We might stay, but we yearn to go home, to Palestine
-Creation of a Jewish state is neither ridiculous nor impossible
-The Jews deserve their own country
