For me, it is actually sad that Herzl is constantly being proven right, even today.
Especially since these days, Western societies seem to pride themselves as being tantamount liberal, going as far as creating safe-spaces for seemingly every thinkable minority.
Yet, when one minority is being racist and physically attacking another minority, the same societies seem to be befuddled. The society's majority appears inapt to apply their enlightenment standards to minorities as they apply it to their own group.
Don't know if "identity politics" is the right framing for this, but the "tantamount progressiveness" of our societies loses much of its credibility, when the values of the Enlightenment aren't brought forward to protect these values, but just to attack your opponent.
