Zionist Century - Concepts - Zionist Congresses
Ninth Congress - Hamburg, 1909
At this Congress, Wolffsohn
and Nordau expressed the hope
that following the Young Turk Revolution, Zionist endeavors might enjoy
a change in fortune.
In the meantime, the Congress once again divided over the question of
how to implement the Zionist program. The practical lobby accused Wolffsohn
of focusing on political activity and his executive -- of judging projects
by their commercial value. This rival leadership included Menahem
Ussishkin, Chaim Weizmann and
Nahum Sokolow who gained support
from the representatives of the workers' movement in Palestine.
