Were I to sum up the Basel Congress in a word - which I shall guard against pronouncing publicly - it would be this: At Basel, 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. (Theodor Herzl)
