"The Jewish State" by Theodor Herzl is a pamphlet published in February 1896. Considered one of the most important texts of modern Zionism, it argues that the best solution to European antisemitism is establishing an independent Jewish state. Herzl examines centuries of persecution that forced Jews into ghettos and proposes two possible regions for settlement—Argentina and Palestine. He envisions a systematic colonization supported by international powers, advocating for sovereign rights rather than gradual migration. The work popularized the term "Zionism" and profoundly influenced the movement that led to Israel's creation in 1948.
