A Research Of Leon Pinsker’s Political Zionism

Leon Pinsker is a representative of political Zionism,the founder and leader of the Hovevei Zion movement,and a great pioneer of Zionism earlier than Herzl.In his early years,Pinsker was a supporter of the Haskala movement who advocated assimilation in exchange for Jewish emancipation,but the tragic situation of Eastern European Jews in the mid-19th century made him realize that assimilation was futile,and he turned to Zionism.Pinsker’s most important contribution is the publication of Auto-Emancipation,which is a milestone in the history of Zionism,in which Pinsker focused on his Jewish national view and the idea of establishing a modern Jewish national home.At the same time,in his later years,Pinsker also actively helped the construction of Jewish settlements in Palestine and the life of immigrants through the the Hovevei Zion movement.Although Pinsker’s practical activities ended in failure,he played an important role in connecting Zionism from theory to practice.In particular,Pinsker’s Zionist thought laid the ideological and theoretical foundation for the final rise of the Zionist movement.The core of Pinsker’s political Zionism is to regard the Jewish problem as a national problem,and there is only one way to solve the Jewish problem,that is,to establish a modern Jewish nation-state.Internally,he called on Jews all over the world to reshape national dignity,strengthen national unity,and form a unified national consciousness;externally,he advocated the establishment of an expert committee composed of Jewish representatives from various industries,and this committee would legally purchase a safe and rich land that could accommodate the remaining Jews and resell or distribute to Jewish immigrants in a reasonable manner.As for how to arrange Jewish immigration,Pinsker’s idea is not to organize all Jewish immigrants to emerging nation-states.The nation-state is just to provide a refuge for those Eastern European Jews who live in hardship.And as long as the Jews have a country and become a nation again,their problems will be fundamentally solved,and those Jews who have not settled in the motherland will be liberated accordingly.Pinsker’s Zionist thought is an important part of the theoretical system of Zionism in world politics,and it is the essence of thought higher than Hess and earlier than Herzl;.Therefore,malaria has shaped the population structure to a certain extent,increased the mortality rate,and then led to economic recession and urban decline in certain regions in different periods and regions,changed the outcome of the war,and profoundly affected the alternation of power.He clearly established the goal of struggle for all Jews,planned the path of realization,tried to establish a unified Zionist organization,trained the main backbone of the Zionist movement,and made great historical contributions to the final rise and realization of Zionism in the twentieth century.
