Zionist Merry-Go-Round
(Continued from Page 16)
of the outside world. To remove Dr.
Weizmann at the present moment
meant to leave the Zionist movement
leaderless while it is passing through
its severest crisis, and thus to jeop
ardize every Zionist achievement of
the last decade. Congress knew this.
For two weeks it struggled with this
one fact, but so bitter was the oppo
sition to this man that even the real
ization that Zionism might be crippled
without him, and that the entire edi
fice built' up since the war would be
in danger of collapse, did not prevent
his elimination.
There was doubtless a good deal of
personal animus in all this. The
strong under-current of personal op
position to Dr. Weizmann, bordering
at times almost on hatred, was too
obvious to be overlooked. But it is
also certain that a great deal of this
animosity and hatred was directed as
much against the policy of the man
as against his person. To the bulk
of the Congress Dr. Weizmann was
indivisibly bound up with the British
point of view of Zionism, and as such
he personified all the recent failures
and disappointments of the movement.
His inherent moderation; his ability
to see the other, non Jewish point of
view, in Palestine; his matter-of-fact
realism; his Manchester Liberalism
and strong leaning towards Labour
and Socialism; his stand against anti-
British propaganda, and his declara
tion against the slogan of a Jewish
Majority in Palestine—all these were
in direct contrast to the prevailing
mood of the Congress and of the Zion
ist movement at present, and it was
quite natural that he should have to
go. Congress would have done vio
lence to itself if it had retained a
leader so diametrically opposed of its
own moods and views, and whatever
else one may sav about this Congress,
it was true to itself.
True, at the very last moment, on
the eighteenth day of its turbulent
career, Congress seemed to have
somewhat regained its balance, and
it elected an Executive Committee of
predominantly sane men, pledged to
Follow Dr. Weizmann’s course.
It is very possible that the Zionist
movement after shouting its defiance
to the world so dramatically, will now
settle down to quiet, sane work. The
very elimination of Dr. Weizmann
may have the sobering effect of the
old scapegoat sacrifice, and bring
peace of mind and clarity of vision
to Zionism. But on the other hand,
it is also possible that Zionism has
now let loose forces of hysteria and
reaction which it can no longer con
trol, and that the extremism which
dominated the Congress will continue
to grow, until it estranges from Zion
ism first, the vast non-Jewish world,
and reduces the Zionist movement to
a small sect of Nationalist fanatics
without influence or power.
In other words, the question is: was
the storm which broke over Zionism
at the Seventeenth Zionist Congress
at Basle a storm which came at the
end of a drought and cleared the air
tor better growth in the future, or
''as it the beginning of a destructive
hurricane which, once let loose, will
sweep the Zionist movement to its
destruction ?
The existence of Zionism and its
good name depend on the answer to
this question.
