Draft:Zion Zionists

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zion Zionists was a faction within the Zionist movement that advocated for Jewish settlement exclusively in the Land of Israel and fought against the Uganda Plan, which was adopted at the Sixth Zionist Congress in 1903-1905. This group, mostly composed of Jews from Eastern Europe, was led by Menachem Ussishkin, Dr. Yechiel Tschlenow, Dr. Shmaryahu Levin, Dr. Avraham Fridenberg, and others.

They advocated for concentrating Zionist efforts in the Land of Israel, opposed any temporary solution elsewhere in the world, and called for increased immigration and settlement in the Land of Israel. Among the prominent propagandists of the Zionist Zionists were Dov Ber Borochov, Ze'ev Jabotinsky, and Rachel Yanait Ben-Zvi. At the Seventh Zionist Congress held in Basel in 1905, the views of the 'Zionist Zionists' prevailed, and a principal resolution was adopted rejecting the Uganda Plan and affirming that the Zionist movement is exclusively connected to the Land of Israel.
