Abstract:
Compares the place of Zionism in Jewish politics in Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Bohemia from the 1890s to World War I. In Germany, Jewish student and youth organizations were in an anomalous situation: they were formed because of the exclusion of Jews from the parallel German associations, but emulated them in every respect. They fought antisemitism, and saw their separateness as temporary until liberalism should prevail. The Zionist answer to this anomaly was the cultivation of Jewish national identity centered on Palestine. In multi-ethnic Austria-Hungary the leaders of the Jewish community tended, in the opinion of the Zionists, to identify too often with German or other ethnic groups more than with the Jews, and did not act militantly enough against antisemitism; the Zionists therefore took an active part in local Jewish politics, in addition to furthering aliyah. In Bohemia, Jewish national identity was a possible solution to the conflict of loyalties between the ethnic groups.
