Zionism as an an idea is coeval with the development of the modern state in post-revolutionary (after 1789) times. That's when other people began to think that they would like a state, and certain Jews began to think that it would be a good idea for Jews too. nadine...I will add that for jews it took 1800 years to gain statehood... i guess you would say thats because they deserved it no sooner ...that they had no right to it till this century. All I can say is that you could do this kind of pithy comment so much better if you actually knew history in any depth, instead of running to look up whatever I happen to mention. The impulses towards Zionism were secular, and a product of the modern age; thus, they couldn't begin until the 19th century opened the Jewish communities of Europe to the Enlightenment & modern thought.
