When Herzl was going around the European capitals, they loved him
because the message that he was bringing to them was something they
wanted to hear: how to get rid of the European Jews! And he said that
if the destination was Palestine that they would gladly be going
there. Except that in his diaries , the area he wanted to grab for
the Jews was much bigger than Palestine – actually 100 times bigger
than Palestine. Take a look:
Theodor Herzl Diaries – Vol 2 – Page 711: 1898):
Discussed with Bodenheimer the demands we will make.
Area: from the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates.
