Tenth Congress - Basle, 1911
This Congress has often
been described as the Peace Congress because it finally laid to rest the
debate between the practical and political Zionists with Synthetic Zionism
becoming the operational mode of the movement.
Considerable attention was given to the question of practical work in
Palestine as well as Hebrew culture. Shlomo Kaplansky raised the question
of Zionist relations with the Arabs and, for the first time, a session
of the Congress was held in Hebrew.
David Wolffsohn was succeeded
as President by Otto Warburg, a German Jew and distinguished scientist
who was identified with the practical Zionist camp. The WZO moved its
headquarters from Cologne to Berlin.
