Two Plans for the Establishment of a Jewish Homeland in the Sudan early in the Twentieth Century

In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries a number of plans for the establishment of a Jewish state had already been put forward.2 This implies that there is nothing basically new in the proposals which are studied in this article, which deals with a later period. The first plan, however, makes us aware of those streams within the Zionist movement which sought new paths, as a result of impatience and an unwillingness to be satisfied solely with immigration to Palestine. Demands such as these were sounded within the Zionist movement in those days only by Davis Trietsch.3 The second plan discussed here relates to the ideas and action of the Jewish Territorial Movement.
