What conclusion did Herzl reach after confronting anti-Semitic events in Vienna?

  • The only solution for Jews was the establishment of a Jewish state

  • Jews should assimilate into Austrian society

  • Jews should protest against anti-Semitism

  • Jews should migrate to America

Answer

Herzl concluded that the only way to ensure Jewish safety and prosperity was through the establishment of a separate Jewish state. He argued that anti-Semitism was deeply rooted in European society and that Jews could never fully integrate or be treated equally. Only by having their own homeland could Jews escape persecution and achieve self-determination.
