Quotation from Theodor Herzl “Area: from the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates” — Oct. 14 1898

Endorsing the suggestion of his associate Max Bodenheimer, specifying for the limits of the State of the Jews.

Author : Thematics :
" Area: from the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates. Stipulate a transitional period with our own institutions. A Jewish governor for this period. Afterwards, a relationship like that between Egypt and the Sultan. As soon as the Jewish inhabitants of a district amount to [2/3?] of the population, Jewish administration goes in force politically, while local government (communal autonomy) always depends on the number of voters in the community.. These are Bodenheimer's ideas, in part excellent. "
