Biographical Text

Isreal Zangwill was born in London in 1864 to Jewish parents who had immigrated from Eastern Europe. While he was considered a British author, playwright, and journalist, writing several novels and journalistic pieces, he was a supporter of cultural Zionism. He also believed in the pacifistic and women's suffrage movements of the early twentieth century. While Zangwill rejected Zionism from around 1905-1917, he did stand by the "territorial movement", believing that a homeland for Jews should be established wherever one could be found. Although he was critisized for this and other deviations from Zionism, he was greatly mourned on his death in 1926 by many cultures around the world.
