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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_emancipation "Jewish emancipation"), [women's suffrage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_suffrage "Women's suffrage") and [Zionism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism "Zionism") were all fertile fields for his pen. His early life was spent in the [East End of London](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_End_of_London "East End of London"), and he was a teacher in the Jewish Free School there. In later life, his friends included [Jerome K. Jerome](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerome_K._Jerome "Jerome K. Jerome") and [H. G. Wells](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._G._Wells "H. G. Wells"). He wrote a very influential novel *Children of the Ghetto* ([1892](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1892 "1892")), and his play *[The Melting Pot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Melting_Pot "The Melting Pot")* was a hit in the [USA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USA "USA") in [1908](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1908 "1908")\-[1909](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1909 "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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_of_Israel "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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Ashley-Cooper%2C_7th_Earl_of_Shaftesbury "Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 7th Earl of Shaftesbury").[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Zangwill#_note-0) Zangwill, a [British Jew](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_Jews "List of British Jews"), founded an organization called the [Jewish Territorialist Organization](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jewish_Territorialist_Organization&action=edit "Jewish Territorialist Organization") in [1905](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1905 "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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel "Israel")). Zangwill died in [1926](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1926 "1926") in [Midhurst](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midhurst "Midhurst"), [West Sussex](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Sussex "West Sussex") after trying to create the Jewish state in such diverse places as [Canada](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada "Canada"), [Australia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia "Australia"), [Mesopotamia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia "Mesopotamia"), [Uganda](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uganda "Uganda") and [Cyrenaica](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrenaica "Cyrenaica"). One of the four houses at [Jews' Free School](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews%27_Free_School "Jews' Free School") is named Zangwill in his honour. Israel Zangwill was the father of [Oliver Zangwill](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Zangwill "Oliver Zangwill"), a prominent British [psychologist](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychology "Psychology"). Israel Zangwill is featured as a recurring character in the novels of [Will Thomas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Thomas "Will Thomas").
