The man spearheaded an ideology inevitably based upon theft of land and subjugation of Palestinians when he made it a mission to seek a Jewish state in Palestine.
However, I credit him for amazing vision and perseverance.
His Wikipedia entry of all the meetings he had with various heads of state and government is a tour de force of what one man or woman can accomplish, and his amazing vision and foresight is underscored by this 1897 diary entry of his:
"At Basel [in 1897 -- 50 years before the founding of Israel], I founded the Jewish State. If I said this out loud today, I would be answered by universal laughter. Perhaps in five years, certainly in fifty, everyone will know it."
Who among White Europeans today has these demonstrated characteristics?
Not just for accuracy's sake, but also because some anti-Whites including Kevin Barrett, Joshua Blakeney and Anthony Hall like to blame Whites and call Israel 'just another European setller colony' ...
Herzl wasn't the father of modern political (as opposed to?) Zionism. Modern Zionism flowered first among the Baghdadi and other Middle Eastern Jews' colonies in the Far East, in Hong Kong and Shanghai. From a review of Maisie J. Meyer, From the Rivers of Babylon to the Whangpoo: A Century of Sephardi Jewish Life in Shanghai (Lanham, MD; New York; and Oxford: University Press of America, 2003.), quote:
While at an early stage in the book Meyer mentions Baghdad’s long-serving (1859-1909) ecclesiastical authority Hakham Yosef Hayyim, she does not involve him in her discussion of Shanghai Zionism (pp. 171-190). She sees that phenomenon as largely the creation of N.E.B. Ezra between 1903 and 1936, when Ezra led the Shanghai Zionist Association (SZA) and edited Israel’s Messenger. However, prior to Ezra, Hayyim was a powerful force inculcating pre-Herzlian Zionism among Baghdadis in India, Burma, the Straits Settlements, Hong Kong, Shanghai, the Philippines, the Dutch East Indies, and elsewhere. He urged his brethren to visit and settle the Land of Israel long before Theodor Herzl’s establishment of the World Zionist Organization (WZO) in 1896, with which the SZA was affiliated, and even before the founding of the WZO’s predecessor organizations, Hovevei Zion and BILU.

The few truthers interested in truth might like to know that although I have apprised Kevin Barrett of these facts several times, and also the Middle Eastern origins of even Ashkenazi Jews, he continues to frame Zionism as a White aggression against non-Whites.
If Charlie wrote the summary of Herzl being the father of modern "political" Zionism, then he was referring to his claim that Zionism is taught in the Bible.

Charlie claims Jesus was a Zionist.
