- Von Hohenzollern, Friedrich (Wilhelm II) (1859-1941) ( 2 quotations )
"The Kaiser remarked afterwards that Zionism was a great idea, but that "it can't be carried out with Jews"
"
The quotation was given by Uri Avnery in his text Wagner at the memorial of May 2005, but it is the transformation of a joke into an imaginary quotation: On April 17, 1899, Theodor Herzl wrote (English version) : « The following joke is making the rounds in Vienna now. The German Kaiser is supposed to have said to me: ‘Zionism is a splendid idea; the only thing is, it can't be carried out with Jews. ‘
