(russia.)1881 Alexander II fell victim to an assassination plot.
Police Chief Dvorzhitsky was later to write:
"I was deafened by the new explosion, burned, wounded and thrown to the ground. Suddenly, amid the smoke and snowy fog, I heard His Majesty's weak voice cry, 'Help!' Gathering what strength I had, I jumped up and rushed to the tsar. His Majesty was half-lying, half-sitting, leaning on his right arm.
Thinking he was merely wounded heavily, I tried to lift him but the tsar's legs were shattered, and the blood poured out of them. Twenty people, with wounds of varying degree, lay on the sidewalk and on the street. Some managed to stand, others to crawl, still others tried to get out from beneath bodies that had fallen on them. Through the snow, debris, and blood you could see fragments of clothing, epaulets, sabers, and bloody chunks of human flesh."
Consequence of the assassination was anti-Jewish pogroms and legislation, deriving in part from the fact that one of those implicated in the assassination, Gesya Gelfman, was of Jewish origin.
Hovevei Zion,some of the first Zionist groups were established in Eastern European countries with the aim to promote Jewish immigration to the Land of PALESTINE.
In 1882, a group of Hovevei Zion founded Rishon LeZion, the first Zionist settlement in the Land of Palestine.(a part of the Ottoman Empire) They later were reinforced by Bilu pioneers who strengthened the settlement and enlarged it.
In 1882 and the first recorded violent incident of the Israel-Palestinian conflict.was the shooting dead of a Palestinian man in Safed in December 1882 by a guard at the newly formed Rosh Pina.
In 1884, 36 delegates met in Kattowitz, Germany (today Katowice, Poland). Rabbi Samuel Mohilever was elected the president and Leon Pinsker the chairman of the organization they named Hovevei Zion. The group tried to secure financial help from Baron Edmond James de Rothschild.
In order to attain legal recognition by the authorities, the Russian branch of Hovevei Zion had to meet a demand to be registered as a '' charity ''.
Early in 1890 its establishment was approved by the Russian government.
In 1897, before the First Zionist Congress, the Odessa Committee counted over 4,000 members. Once the Congress established the Zionist Organization, most of the Hovevei Zion societies joined it.
Asher Zvi Hirsch Ginsberg (18 August 1856 - 2 January 1927) or Ahad Ha'am
After a months exploratory visit to Palestine in 1891, Ahad Ha'am reported; The settlers (Zionists), finding themselves in a land "with limitless freedom" had begun to exhibit "a tendency? to despotism" and "behave towards the Arabs with hostility and cruelty, trespass without justification, beat them shamefully without sufficient cause and then boast about it."
Two years later, he wrote: "The attitude of the colonists (Zionists) to their tenants (indigenous Arabs) and their families is exactly the same as towards their animals".
Alleen al in het jaar 1948 werden meer dan 530 steden en dorpen totaal vernietigd. Bijna een miljoen Palestijnen hadden het geluk, na berooft te zijn, de grens van Palestina te halen. [Daarbij dient nog ontelbare kleine dorpsgemeenschappen, of alleenstaande huisjes, te worden opgeteld.]
De ware omvang, daar ook in de tientallen jaren daarvoor, de Palestijnse burger werd geteisterd; is eigenlijk niet te benoemen. En vergeet vooral niet dat de vele pogingen tot het verbloemen van deze slachtpartijen, door o.a. Amerika en de zionisten zelf, sucses hebben gehad.
