Zionism emerged as a national movement in Eastern Europe in the 1880s. Its founder, Theodor Herzl (1860-1904), a Hungarian Jew, dreamt of establishing a Jewish State in the land of Palestine, a dream which was to be realised through colonisation and land acquisition. According to Zionist archives, the leadership of early Zionism believed that the native population of Palestine, as a result of this colonisation, would simply fold their tents and slip away or, if they resisted, they would be spirited across the borders.
