Not entirely true. If organizing was all it took, how come they did not do it any sooner during the 4000 years? You mean 2000. And they did a lot of organizing at various times and places; there were many instances of Jewish communities being organized and led by some form of an Exiliarch. What was new, was what the 19th century understood as the The Problem of the Jew: the European promise of assimilation as a citizen was proving false, while the rising of nationalism suggested that the Jews might rebuild their own nation in a safer spot, currently an underpopulated and badly ruled backwater of the Ottoman Empire. BTW, as I am sure you know, most Jews do not harbour megalomaniac ambitions and would prefer to live in peace. I really don't believe the political reality of Israel reflects their wills I think it does. What you fail to appreciate is how Arab politics not only fails to reward any Israeli move towards peace, but savagely punishes it.
