1935
September 12
In Vienna the New Zionist Organization (NZO) is established, headed by
Ze'ev Jabotinsky. The founders are members of the Revisionist movement who
seceded from the WZO. This results in a deep rift between Jabotinsky and
Weizmann and the leaders of the Labor movement - who head the Zionist
movement.
The Jews in Eretz Israel number some 400,000. This
constitutes 30% of the inhabitants of Palestine - more than double the
number only four years earlier.
