Synopsis "The Jewish State: The Historic Essay That led to the Creation of the State of Israel "

Originally published in 1896 as Der Judenstaat, The Jewish State has taken its place among the likes of The Communist Manifesto and Common Sense as polemic writings which have changed modern history. Theodor Herzl's advocacy for a separate, independent Jewish state as a remedy for centuries of hostility and persecution served as the basis for modern Zionism. And though his vision would not be realized in his lifetime, it did set the course for the creation of the Israel we know today. This edition, based on the original translation to English by Sylvie D'Avigdor, includes a foreword by Alan Dershowitz, who is among Israel's most prominent and most vocal scholars defenders. The Harvard law professor, who has been calledIsrael's lead lawyer in the court of public opinion, discusses The Jewish State's place in history and its impact today.

Theodor Herzl (1860–1904) fue un periodista y dramaturgo austrohúngaro, reconocido como el padre del sionismo político moderno. Tras presenciar el antisemitismo durante el caso Dreyfus en Francia, concluyó que la asimilación judía era imposible y abogó por la creación de un Estado judío independiente en Palestina, plasmado en su libro Der Judenstaat (1896).

Nacido en Budapest, Herzl organizó el Primer Congreso Sionista en Basilea en 1897, fundando la Organización Sionista Mundial para promover este objetivo a través de la diplomacia. Aunque murió joven a los 44 años en Austria, su visión sentó las bases para el establecimiento del Estado de Israel en 1948, siendo reconocido como el "Visionario del Estado".
