DaasYochid: the first Zionist Congress was in 1897. Nowhere in that manifesto does the Congress ask for an independent state. It asks for a “home” for jews. Incidentally, that was also the formulation of the Balfour Declaration that allowed for a home for the Jewish people. If you feel that allowing the jews to come back to their ancestral home- something that had occurred for centuries – and that this was justification enough for the Arabs to start murdering jews, we sure are not on the same page.
