Contents
The homeland is the original, primordial foundation of our lives, and it is the object of our deepest feelings, our hopes, fears, consolations. It is the source of life, but it sometimes leads one into a dark hole. The questions it poses are the fundamental questions of the great religions: the lust for life and the mystery of what is after, sacrifice and purification, self-denial and consolidation, where we come from, where we are going. The homeland transforms I into us, experience into memory, a territory into a land, and both into a nation. It is not surprising if modern nationalism, which made a transposition of many of the concepts of religion, sees the homeland as the cradle, the very beginning of the national collective.
The birth-throes of the homeland are not merely a matter of territory or soil, but of lands with an ancient historical association, the source of a deep-rooted national identity. But the birth-throes of the homeland can also be metaphorical. There are some for whom the birth-throes of the homeland are not enough and who long to be connected with a country together with the rest of their people, half of whom do not yet live in the homeland. There are some for whom the birth-throes of the homeland are unlimited and they long to be connected to the global village. There are some who believe that the time has come to settle their dispute with their neighbors by dividing up the homeland. There are some for whom the birth-throes of the homeland are moral, a light unto the nations or chosen people. There are some for whom the birth-throes of the homeland are theological, for the earth is the Lords and the fullness thereof, and there are yet other dreamers of dreams for whom the birth-throes of the homeland have a great variety of meanings.
The birth-throes of the homeland are like an umbilical cord. The homeland is the mother who gives birth to the nation in its land. The homeland imprints on its children a seal that can never be removed. The Uganda project failed because it sought to remove the umbilical cord and the seal, an act which meant the erasure of any affinity between the birth-throes of the homeland and the nation longing to return to its bosom. But in many cases the birth-throes of the homeland are tied to the birth-throes of the Messiah. Sometimes a long expectation of the fulfillment of the birth-throes of a country creates a national frustration that gives birth to messianic longings. Where there are birth-throes of the homeland detached from nation-states and there is a demand to restore them or a demand for ownership, it does not result in neutrality. The existence of neighboring states makes these states into bitter enemies, for one is speaking of a dispute concerning mother earth, the homeland, the nation-state umbilically tied to its progeny the birth-throes of the land. That is how the national controversies and messianic movements in the Sudetenland, among the Basques, in the Balkans and in Alsace came into being. The demand to liberate the ties to the homeland leads to the formation of messianic expectations.
