Editing Ze'ev Jabotinsky (section)

===Representative of the ZO in the Ottoman Empire, 1908–1914===
In 1909, Sultan [[Abdulhamid II]] was deposed. The year before that, following the [[Young Turk Revolution]], the Berlin Executive office of the [[World Zionist Organization|Zionist Organization]] (ZO), sent Jabotinsky to the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] capital [[Constantinople]] where he became editor-in-chief of a new pro-[[Young Turks|Young-Turkish]] daily newspaper ''[[Le Jeune Turc]]'' (meaning [[Young Turk]]) which was founded and financed by Zionist officials like ZO president [[David Wolffsohn]] and his representative in Constantinople Victor Jacobson. The journalists writing for that paper included the famous [[Social Democratic Party of Germany|German Social democrat]] and Russian-Jewish revolutionary [[Alexander Parvus]], who lived in Constantinople from 1910 until 1914. The ''Jeune Turc'' was prohibited in 1915 by the pro-German [[1913 Ottoman coup d'état|Turkish military junta]]. Richard Lichtheim, who was to become Jabotinsky's representative in Germany in 1925, stayed in Constantinople as ZO representative and managed to keep the "[[Yishuv]]" (Jewish population of [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]]) out of trouble during the war years by constant diplomatic interventions with German, Turkish, and also American authorities, whose humanitarian support was crucial for the survival of the Jewish settlement project in Palestine during the war years.<ref>For references, see Richard Lichtheims autobiographical books in Hebrew and German (see the [[:he:%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%9B%D7%A8%D7%93 %D7%9C%D7%99%D7%9B%D7%98%D7%94%D7%99%D7%99%D7%9D|Hebrew Wikipedia entry of Richard Lichtheim]])</ref>
