3. The Herzl family and the Lion of Nesher.
"In his 1902 fictional outline for the new Jewish state, Altneuland, the Old New Land, Theodor Herzl wrote, The plan for building a homeland for the Jewish people must also take into consideration the founding of a Hebrew cement factory.(Submitted on May 26, 2024, by Jerry Klinger of Boynton Beach, Florida.)
Cement is needed to build a house or a city. The Carmel and nearby Kishon Valley region contain significant deposits of primary natural materials for cement. Resources are fine. To build a country, a Homeland for the Jewish people, as the 1917 Balfour Declaration called for, a cement factory had to be built. There was none in British Mandatory Palestine."
