The Zionist Movement emerged in the late 19th century, aiming to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Founded by Theodor Herzl in 1897, it sought to address the persecution and discrimination faced by Jews in Europe by creating a safe haven for them in their ancestral land. The movement played a crucial role in the eventual establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, following decades of political and social activism to realize the Zionist vision. Today, the Zionist Movement continues to advocate for the security and prosperity of the State of Israel and the Jewish people worldwide.
