Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History Development of Jewish Colonisation in Palestine (a Lecture Delivered Before the West London Zionist Association) Practically the whole population were either massacred or sold into slavery, or fled out of the country into Arabia. The Jewish captives transported to the West were dispersed along the shores of the Mediterranean, and thus became the founders of communities in Italy, Spain, Gaul, and other countries. The sentiment of religion is another cause which has led to movements of peoples, and in some instances to the formation of colonies. Ever since the Exile Jews have been forced to wander from country to country. They migrated to Rome, to Spain, to Gaul, to England, to Germany, and to Poland. In the last quarter of the nineteenth century sanguinary persecution and economic oppression forced thousands of Jews to leave Poland and other parts of Russia, Galicia, and Roumania, and to seek new homes, chiefly in the British Colonies and in the United States. In more recent times we have witnessed the forcible removal, under the most cruel circumstances, of the Jewish masses from the Pale to the interior regions of Russia. A full record of the migrations of the Jewish people would be almost identical with a complete Jewish history. Under the impulse of persecution and economic oppression, Jews have spread all over the lands, of the habitable globe, but heathen and more often Christian injustice and intolerance cramped and crippled at every turn the settlements founded by these refugees. The religious longing after the ancient glories of Zion on the one hand, and the deeply felt desire for deliverance from the miserable conditions under which Israel was compelled to live on foreign soil on the other, have never, to our own days, ceased to exercise a most powerful influence on the members of the race. Such sentiments led to repeated attempts to restore Israel to the Promised Land. All these attempts, however, were bound to fail, because they were planless and disconnected; they could not be otherwise, having regard to the wide dispersions of the Jews and the primitive means of communication. The external conditions in which the Jews lived for so many centuries made it impossible for them, in fact, to realise that for which they hoped and prayed. True, Palestine was never devoid of some Jewish population. Even after the final national catastrophe, the rising under Bar Cochba (133-135), a Jewish remnant was left in devastated and depopulated Palestine, and this remnant was reinforced from time to time by those who returned from exile.
