1923

1923: A Russian author and founder of the “Revisionist Zionist” movement, Vlamidir Jabotinski, writes his famous book called The Iron Wall (We and the Arabs) in which he argues that Palestine can only be taken by force and without taking into account the wishes of the native population. But in order to fulfil this goal it would have to work behind a foreign power – hence the name “Iron Wall”. Revisionist Zionists would later form a military division (1931) called “Irgun Zvai Leumi” (also known as “Irgun”).
