In a pique of rage against the widespread anti-Zionism he was meeting among Jews, he authored a piece called Kike (Mauschel in the original German) which raved that anti-Zionist Jews were “disgusting,” “dirty,” and “mean.” “Kike is anti-Zionist,” Herzl railed, and concluded that the Zionists would act toward “kikes” like William Tell and his arrows: “Kike, take care! Friends, Zionism’s arrow is aimed at Kike’s breast.”
