CHAPTER XI

ZIONISM 231

The chief interest of the Zionist experiment lies in its reaction upon the _international_ position of the Jew--yet that point is not yet discussed--what will be the effect of the experiment on the position of Jews _outside_ Palestine, necessarily the vast majority of the race?--an inevitable alternative--either the Jews lose their international position through loss of the fiction that they are not a nation--or the Zionist experiment breaks down--effect especially in Eastern Europe.

Special effect of the experiment on Great Britain--difficulty of maintaining sacrifice for purely Jewish interests--which now clash with British--unpopularity of such sacrifice inevitable--grave error of first appointment to the headship of the New State--unworthiness of the politician chosen for that position.
