The first Zionist Congress met in Basel, Switzerland in August 1897, attracting 204 Jews from 15 countries. Under the leadership of [[Theodor Herzl]]  (1860-1904),  it resolved that "Zionism aims at the creation of a home for the Jewish people in Palestine to be secured by public law," and encouraged organized emigration and colonization. Herzl formed the World Zionist Congress, making it an effective worldwide political movement.  Despite opposition from assimilationist Jews and internal divisions the Zionist organization gathered strength.  After Herzl died in 1904, the leadership of the movement passed to the "practicals," notably Dr. [[Chaim Weizmann]], who argued that Zionism should concern itself with the Jewish cultural renaissance and gradual settlement efforts in Palestine as well as with diplomatic efforts to create a legal foundation for the settlements. In 1905 one faction withdrew when the majority rejected a British proposal for establishing a Jewish homeland in [[Uganda]], Africa.

Apologies. Small edit to draw attention to myself in hopes youll read my page and fix what I put there.  Changed "practicals," to "practicals" in case your wondering. Sorry, no 'contact us' email address easily accessible.  I really hope you guys just missed alot of this stuff.  Because although I dont know everything, I do know this, lies really make God angry. The lord giveth...  God wants honesty and righteousness in the face of turmoil.  Not lying to mold opinion.  Please remove this paragraph obviously.  Thanks
