Born to a Russian émigré who had escaped persecution and death in a Czarist military prison, he dedicated his life to championing the cause of the oppressed. [Jewish emancipation, [women's suffrage and [Zionism were all fertile fields for his pen. His early life was spent in the [East End of London, and he was a teacher in the Jewish Free School there. In later life, his friends included [Jerome K. Jerome and [H. G. Wells. He wrote a very influential novel *Children of the Ghetto* ([1892), and his play *[The Melting Pot* was a hit in the [USA in [1908\-[1909.The latter received its most recent production at New York's Metropolitan Playhouse, March 2006. He also wrote mystery works, such as *The Big Bow Mystery*, and social satire such as *The King of Schnorrers*. Zangwill is known for coining the slogan "A land without a people for a people without a land" describing Zionist aspirations in the [Land of Israel. However, he did not invent the phrase: in its original form "A country without a nation for a nation without a country" it is attributed to [Lord Shaftesbury.[\[1\] Zangwill, a [British Jew, founded an organization called the [Jewish Territorialist Organization in [1905, the aim of which was to create a Jewish homeland in whatever possible territory in the world (and not necessarily in what today is the state of [Israel). Zangwill died in [1926 in [Midhurst, [West Sussex after trying to create the Jewish state in such diverse places as [Canada, [Australia, [Mesopotamia, [Uganda and [Cyrenaica. One of the four houses at [Jews' Free School is named Zangwill in his honour. Israel Zangwill was the father of [Oliver Zangwill, a prominent British [psychologist. Israel Zangwill is featured as a recurring character in the novels of [Will Thomas.
