First Part - WHAT IS ZIONISM?

ZIONISM is the noun. LABOR is the adjective.
Hence, first of all, it is necessary to clarify the
meaning of the noun – ZIONISM.

ZIONISM is the national movement of the JEWISH PEOPLE for
self-realization in its historic homeland – the Land of Israel.

“I think the Jewish question is no more a social
than a religious one, notwithstanding that it
sometimes takes these and other forms. It is a
national question, which can only be solved by
making it a political world-question to be discussed
and settled by the civilized nations of the world in
council. We are a People – one People”.

Theodor Herzl, The State for the Jews, 1896, Introduction.
