Quotation from Max Nordau “Zionism has nothing to do with theology” — Jul. 1897

Zionist leader very close to Theodor Herzl, in an article published in the Zionist newspaper Die Welt, aiming to completely dissociate Zionism from the Jewish religion.

Author : Thematics :
"

Zionism has nothing to do with theology; and if a desire has been kindled in Jewish hearts to establish a new common-wealth in Zion, it is not the Torah or the Mishnah that inspire them, but hard times.

"
