The ascendancy of Ahad Ha'am's cultural Zionism…

1903 CE

The ascendancy of Ahad Ha'am's cultural Zionism and its emphasis on practical settlement in Eretz Yisrael climaxes at the Sixth Zionist Congress in 1903.

After an initial discussion of settlement in the Sinai Peninsula, which is opposed by Egypt, Herzl comes to the congress apparently willing to consider, as a temporary shelter, a British proposal for an autonomous Jewish entity in East Africa.

The Uganda Plan, as it is called, is vehemently rejected by East European Zionists who, as before, insist on the ancient political identity with Palestine.
