Theodore Herzl was the first Jew who projected the Jewish question as an international problem. 'The Jewish State, ' written fifty years ago, was the first public expression, in a modern language, by a modern Jew, of a dynamic conception of how the solution of the problem could be accelerated and the ancient Jewish hope, slumbering in Jewish memory for two thousand years, could be fulfilled. In 1882, Leo Pinsker, a Jewish physician of Odessa, disturbed by the pogroms of 1881, made a keen analysis of the position of the Jews, declared that anti-Semitism was a psychosis and incurable, that the cause of it was the abnormal condition of Jewish life, and that the only remedy for it was the removal of the cause through self-help and self-liberation. The Jewish people must become an independent nation, settled on the soil of their own land and leading the life of a normal people. Moses Hess in his 'Rome and Jerusalem' classified the Jewish question as one of the nationalist struggles inspired by the French Revolution. Perez Smolenskin and E. Ben-Yehuda urged the revival of Hebrew and the resettlement of Palestine as the foundation for the rebirth of the Jewish people. Herzl was unaware of the existence of these works. His eyes were not directed to the problem in the same manner. When he wrote 'The Jewish State' he was a journalist, living in Paris, sending his letters to the leading newspaper of Vienna, the Neue Freie Presse, and writing on a great variety of subjects. He was led to see Jewish life as a phenomenon in a changing world.

Theodor Herzl (1860–1904) fue un periodista y dramaturgo austrohúngaro, reconocido como el padre del sionismo político moderno. Tras presenciar el antisemitismo durante el caso Dreyfus en Francia, concluyó que la asimilación judía era imposible y abogó por la creación de un Estado judío independiente en Palestina, plasmado en su libro Der Judenstaat (1896).

Nacido en Budapest, Herzl organizó el Primer Congreso Sionista en Basilea en 1897, fundando la Organización Sionista Mundial para promover este objetivo a través de la diplomacia. Aunque murió joven a los 44 años en Austria, su visión sentó las bases para el establecimiento del Estado de Israel en 1948, siendo reconocido como el "Visionario del Estado".
