Jewish Colonization in Palestine
“The danger is not so much from Bedouin Arabs — who, so far as I know, have never yet disturbed any of these Jewish agriculturists — as from the native authorities, and a want, not of perseverance or agricultural aptitude, but of discipline and harmony among the Jews themselves.”
The word colonization in a New York Times headline in 1883, nineteen years before the paper’s 1902 plan of colonizing Palestine with Jews. The piece is a progress report on the colony at Zammarin, counting pounds spent and harmony lost.
