PURELY COMMENTARY

Weizmann

Continued from preceding page

criticism of Weizmann's lead-
ership. Weizmann is named
"the rebel" in his treatment of
Herzlian approaches to the
Zionist aims at World Zionist
Congresses. In the process of
assuming the world Zionist
leadership, Prof. Rose offers an
important characterization of
Weizmann. In it he quotes the
opinion of Richard Crossman,
the British parliamentarian
who for many years was a close
friend of Weizmann and one of
the most important Christian
supporters of the Zionist cause.
Prof. Rose thus defined the
character and leadership of
Weizmann:
Whether Wiezmann actu-
ally believed that the Frac-
tion had a future we do not
know. For its failure he
blamed his colleagues, 'the
"activists," ', who 'were as-
leep when they should have
been in the vanguard.' He
was striking out at Herzl,
yet he knew he possessed no
trump cards to play.
So did Herzl. 'I am not
over-sensitive toward a rea-
sonable opposition,' he ob-
served, 'neither do I want
songs of praise sung to me,'
but in no uncertain terms he
condemned the Fraction of
its divisive conduct. This, if
persisted in, he countered,
would ruin the movement.
As for Weizmann, 'I regard
you ... as a person who has
been temporarily misled,
but nevertheless a useful
force who will once more
find his way back and pro-
ceed along the right road
together with all of us.' This
was a condescending pat on
the head to Weizmann, who
had marshalled his facts
admirably and presented
his case with force and con-
viction. But Herzl's re-
sponse accurately reflected
the status of the Fraction in
Zionist politics, as Weiz-
mann knew only too well.
Still, the Fraction was
highly significant for Weiz-
mann's education as a
politician. It raised him to
the position of a leader, al-
beit of only a marginal
pressure-group, whose
word was listened to and
whose advice was sought. It
also gave him his first taste
of the bitter-sweet concoc-
tion of authority and frus-
tration inherent in leader-
ship (more frustration than
authority during these early
years). He possessed a
majestic vision and never
doubted that his path was
correct. While others vacil-
lated, he plunged on im-
patiently, relentlessly, anx-
ious to complete the task in
hand but already perceiv-
ing the difficulties ahead.
When events moved
smoothly in his direction, he
exuded an infectious op-
timism. His spirit soared:
`Am on fire. Full of hope.'

Thus buoyed up, he would
bring to bear the full meas-
ure of his eloquence, his
persuasiveness, his magne-
tic charm. Few could stand
up to him when in full flight.
If thwarted, however, he re-
vealed less attractive facets
of his nature: self- pity, pes-
simism, arrogance, pride,
vindictiveness, pettiness.
He would lash out at his op-
ponents or his colleagues
who failed to keep up with
his pace. There was in him,
as Richard Crossman has
acutely noted, a 'combina-
tion of intellectual maturity
and emotional instability.'
He never succeeded entirely
in ridding himself of this
failing, although in later
years he managed to control
it more effectively.
Nevertheless, he bent the
Fraction to his will. He
dominated its office in
Geneva. (Of course, its
organizational weakness
worked to his benefit.) This
was how he worked best,
and would continue to do so
in the future, in an intimate
circle which he could domi-
nate and in which he could
infuse associates with
energy, confidence and
enthusiasm. He was always
more at ease in an environ-
ment he could control than
in a multilayered political
organization. The Zionist
leadership regarded him as
no more than a 'gadfly'. He
did not yet possess the
authority, the aura, that
springs from success — but
his qualities and potential
were becoming more widely
recognized.
During the summer of
1903 Weizmatui's mood was
grim. Apart from the dread-
ful state of Zionism, he was
nearing a crossroad in his
personal life. Geneva no
longer promised certain
professional advancement.
His professor, Karl Graebe,
was retiring, and with him
went his assistants. Weiz-
mann would have to look
elsewhere to pursue his sci-
entific career; and this im-
pinged upon his relations
with Vera, who had not yet
completed her medical
studies in Geneva. But the
real cause for his depres-
sion lay in his own sense of
personal failure. All his
plans to revitalize the
movement had miscarried.
The Fraction was in disar-
ray, and however much he
lambasted his associates he
could not shirk his share of
the responsibility. His last
propaganda tour in Russia
had ended miserably. The
university project had
foundered; Der Jude had
failed to appear. It was one
long procession of setbacks.
Giving vent to his emotions,
he blamed 'the disgusting
swindle of philanthropic
