Herzl and the Non-Promised Land

After over 70 years of existence, it’s impossible to imagine the Jewish State being located anywhere other than Israel. But in the early days of Zionism, there was a push to establish a homeland in a non-Promised Land in East Africa. This week, Noam Weissman gets to the heart of the Uganda Plan and discusses why the movement’s leaders felt they needed to come up with a solution — any solution — to combat the rampant antisemitism of the day. ~~~~~ The Unpacking Israeli History Podcast series is sponsored by Andrea & Larry Gill
