Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Achievements Palestine in Palestine The history of the new Jewish settlement in Palestine offers certain peculiar features which make it difficult, if not impossible, for the student to classify if under any of the hitherto known and described types of colonization. A people of shepherds and farmers driven from its home and scattered throughout the world, deprived by laws or by circumstances of the possibility of acquiring land and of following agricultural pursuits, has been forced, in order to preserve itself, to turn to commerce and to become a people of traders and of middlemen. Habit is second nature, especially with Semites, whose power of adaptation to varying external conditions probably exceeds that of any other race; and eighteen centuries of remoteness from the land have wrought deep-seated changes in the psychology of the Jewish people. The Jew has become estranged from the soil and from all that relates to it. Not only has he lost the simple tastes and ideals of the husbandman, but the equability of mind and the conservatism of the agriculturist - a conservatism which is valuable so long as it is moderate - have given place in the Jew to a restiveness, an impulsiveness, a certain spirit of speculation and adventure, which are utterly incompatible with successful agricultural work. Here lie the deeper reasons of the failure of the various colonizing experiments that have been made with Jews in the Argentine, in Brazil, and in the United States of America. The various groups of students and other "Lovers of Zion" who, early in the eighties of the last century, made their way from Russia and Roumania to Palestine with the intention of founding there the first few agricultural settlements, had, of course, to labour under the same difficulties.
