Dr. Chaim Lurie was born in Frankfurt, a descendant of the Holy Aryans. Influenced by the Scriptures, the idea of hibat Zion began Influence him in a metastatic way. By combining different letters in the way of the mkubalim he calculated and found that the Mashiah would come in the late 1840s, and that by 1860 at the latest all Jews would be in the Land of Israel. Following this, he founded the "Yishuv Ha'aretz Company" in Frankfurt. However, as the sixties passed, traces of Mashiah were not yet known, the doubt crept into his heart that he had made a mistake in the calculation. Luria went deeper and deeper the Kabbalah of his Aryan father-in-law and found a hint that the Meshiah King would come only when one spirit arose in the Jews and one desired to return to the Land of Israel for and revive its land. This is how Dr. Luria came up with the idea of Hibat Zion, which dealt with advocating for the redemption of the lands of the Land of Israel, and for introducing the idea among the people. Dr. Lurie's "society" was the first to settle in Eretz Israel, which was founded among the Jews in the Diaspora.

Five issues of venomous antisemitic newspaper 'La Libre Parole' edited by antisemitic agitator journalist Édouard Drumont, founder of the Antisemitic League in France. Different months in the year 1897.

Drumont's newspaper was the first to publish the arrest of Alfred Dreyfus on November 1, 1894 - the title page of the paper featured the news of Dreyfus' arrest. Drumont was proud of the contribution of his articles and newspaper to the prevention of what he called the "fall of France into the hands of the Jews." The obsessive venom of Drumont's articles in the days of the Dreyfus affair provoked a marked increase in the sales of his newspaper, which this time reached a circulation of one hundred thousand copies. Drumont became popular at the time by his inciting messages against the Jews and capitalism, and by his militant and exciting speech to the masses. Boasted that he had become a kind of "pope of anti-Semitism." His views also resonated beyond the borders of France, and a few decades later influenced the policies of the Vichy regime and its collaborators with the Nazis in France during World War II.
