Tim posted a very interesting backgrounder on this issue.
Since I needed to educate myself about a subject we hardly hear the intricacies of in this part of the globe, no prizes for guessing (specially for you, Helga) which was the next URL-destination. Right, it was http://en.wikipedia.org
That volunteer-driven encyclopaedia has some fascinating material on Israel, Zionism and anti-Zionism. Check it out for yourself. Just place each term you need info on, in the 'search' box of the homepage of Wikipedia.
[Incidentally, it points out that Herzl's Der Judenstaat -- The Jewish State -- argued for a land in Palestine seen as "our ever-memorable historic home", or Argentina "one of the most fertile countries in the world" while in 1903 British proposed land for a Jewish state in what was then Uganda, but would have fallen in modern-day Kenya.]
And no, I have no stake in promoting the Wikipedia (apart from thinking that it's a great idea, contains some excellent stuff, and tried posting content to it's Goa page a few times -- you can too!)
