๐ On August 30, 1897, the First Zionist Congress was held under the leadership of Theodor Herzl, who believed that European antisemitism would not disappear and that the only solution was an independent Jewish state in Palestine. The Congress established the World Zionist Organization and adopted the Basel Program. Fifty-one years later, the project became a reality โ at the cost of the Nakba, the expulsion of 750,000 Palestinians and the destruction of 400 villages. ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ต๐ธ Zionism continues to bring chaos and destruction to West Asia to this day. Ideas built on national hostility cannot be just. Freedom for Palestine! #SOVINTERN_date #Hub_Asia โญ๏ธ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
