"Nothing prevents us from being and remaining the exponents of a united humanity, when we have a country of our own. To fulfill this mission we do not have to remain literally planted among the nations who hate and despise us"

Theodor Herzl's quote talks to the idea that having a country of our own does not avoid us from being and staying the exponents of an unified mankind. He is recommending that even though we might have our own nation, we should still strive to be a part of a larger, unified humanity. He is also recommending that we do not need to remain actually planted among the countries who dislike and despise us in order to satisfy this mission. Instead, we can still be part of a bigger, unified humankind while still having our own nation. This quote talks to the idea that we can still become part of a larger, merged humankind while still having our own country and that we do not have to remain literally planted amongst the nations who dislike and abhor us in order to satisfy this objective. It is a suggestion that we can still be part of a bigger, merged humankind while still having our own country and that we should strive to be a part of a bigger, unified humankind despite our own nation.
