The Program of the First Zionist Congress

The Program of the First Zionist Congress

The Basle Zionist Program

Zionism seeks to establish a home for the Jewish people in Palestine secured under public law. The Congress contemplates the following means to the attainment of this end:

1. The promotion by appropriate means of the settlement in Palestine of Jewish farmers, artisans, and manufacturers.

2. The organization and uniting of the whole of Jewry by means of appropriate institutions, both local and international, in accordance with the laws of each country.

3. The strengthening and fostering of Jewish national sentiment and national consciousness. Preparatory steps toward obtaining the consent of governments, where necessary, in order to reach the goals of Zionism

The handwritten copy of the program also states:

4. Preparatory steps toward obtaining the consent of governments, where necessary, in order to reach the goals of Zionism.

It seems apparent to me that this is not the complete document. And that there exists somewhere in fact a more complete list of statements that one can only presume, given the wording here, of what these "preparatory steps" should consist of.
It seems highly unlikely that this meeting would have ended with nothing more substantial than the 3 (or 4 ) statements above. It makes all kinds of sense if we are to suppose that the document is incomplete and is missing a more detailed narrative of just exactly what those steps are to be.
