The Zionist Century - Concepts - Zionist Congresses

 

Fourteenth Congress - Vienna, 1925

The Congress met at a time of significant Jewish immigration to Palestine, mainly from Poland. Those in sympathy with the building of the Jewish National Home by private enterprise saw in this wave of immigration the realization of their hopes, while the workers' movement saw it as a threat to their constructive socialist efforts.

The Revisionists, led by Ze'ev Jabotinsky attended their first Congress and demanded a more activist policy for the Zionist movement. They also opposed the inclusion of non-Zionists within the Jewish Agency.
