We all have heard about Theodore Herzl and him being the creator of Zionism. I take that for granted since the Eurofolk Radio audience is way ahead of the pack. Herzl is regarded as the founder of Zionism and consequently the founder of the state of Israel today. The Jewish Homeland. But few are aware of the fact that Herzl also mentioned a second homeland for his people in his 1882 book Der Judenstaat. As in a second Jewish Homeland in Argentina. This plan had secretly been put in motion in 1887 at the Jewish international congress in Basel.
Here, Herzl's and Pinsker's proposals were approved of, as stated:
- A mass Immigration of Jews to Argentina.
- The purchase of massive lands, financed by the Jewish Colonisation Company Associates, located in London (The City, ring a bell?).
- The constitution of large anonymous companies such as Dreyfus, Dunge, Born, Bemberg etc., in order to hide who would own those properties.
