Jewish Encyclopedia entry on Zionism 1906
Jewish Encyclopedia The History, Religion, Literature, And Customs Of The Jewish People From The Earliest Times To The Present Day Volume XII TALMUD ZWEIFEL New York and London FUNK AND WAGNALLS COMPANY MDCCCCVI Zionism : Movement looking toward the segregation of the Jewish people upon a national basis and in a particular home of its own: specifically, the modern form of the movement that seeks for the Jews a publicly and legally assured home in Palestine, as initiated by Theodor Herzl in 1896, and since then dominating Jewish history. It seems that the designation, to distinguish the movement from the activity of the Chovevei Zion, was first used by Matthias Acher (Birnbaum) in his paper Selbstemancipation, 1886 (see Ost und West, 1902, p. 576: Ahad ha Am, Al Parashat Derakim, p. 93, Berlin, 1903). Biblical Basis The idea of a return of the Jews to Palestine has its roots in many passages of Holy Writ. It is an integral part of the doctrine that deals with the Messianic time, as is seen in the constantly recurring expression, shub shebut or heshib shebut, used both of Israel and of Judah (Jer.)
