This illustration reflects Herzl as a metaphor for Zionism under fire, under attack. Theodor Herzl was the founding father of modern day Zionism. A political movement for the establishment of a national homeland in the ancestral land of Israel. A home and refuge for Jews everywhere. Herzl's stoic glare is that of self-determination with an inner and outer strength. A faded smoke-covered Star of David is in the sky above. The people gathering together and burning is a disturbing image, but ever present part of our world and psyche. A narrative on anti-Israel, anti-semitic hate speech and violence. We often hear words like 'Racists', 'Colonists', 'Nazi's'...all becoming common pejorative anti-Jew, anti-Zionist language. A portrait of Herzl as survivor with hope, in the face of darkness.
