Abstract

This paper focuses on Laurence Oliphant’s efforts to organize a Jewish settlement in Palestine between 1879 and 1882 and the Ottoman response to these efforts. After giving due information about Oliphant’s Restorationist (Christian Zionist) background in order to understand why he was so deeply interested in the question of Jewish settlement in Palestine, his proposal to the Ottoman government in 1879 on this issue is explained in some detail, based primarily on Ottoman archival documents. This is the only instance in which the Ottoman government was officially faced with the issue of Jewish settlement in Palestine, and was also the first instance in which it was discussed at the highest level, resulting in a response that guided Ottoman policies during the rest of Abdülhamid II period. The following part of the article examines Oliphant’s second attempt at obtaining permission for a Jewish settlement in Palestine in 1882. In this part, American support for Oliphant’s efforts, as well as the Ottoman reaction to this support, will be explained. The Ottoman response to the question of Jewish settlement in Palestine constitutes an important component of the article.

奥斯曼帝国对劳伦斯·奥列芬特的巴勒斯坦犹太人定居计划的回应(1879-1882)

本文主要关注劳伦斯·奥列芬特在1879年至1882年间在巴勒斯坦组织犹太人定居点的努力，以及奥斯曼帝国对这些努力的回应。为了理解为什么奥列芬特对犹太人在巴勒斯坦定居的问题如此感兴趣，在给出了奥列芬特的复辟主义者(基督教犹太复国主义者)背景的适当信息之后，他在1879年就这个问题向奥斯曼政府提出了一些详细的解释，主要基于奥斯曼档案文件。这是奥斯曼政府唯一一次正式面对犹太人在巴勒斯坦的定居点问题，也是第一次在最高级别上进行讨论，导致了一个在阿卜杜勒·勒哈米德二世时期指导奥斯曼政策的回应。这篇文章的下一部分考察了奥列芬特1882年第二次试图获得在巴勒斯坦建立犹太人定居点的许可。在这一部分中，将解释美国对奥列芬特的支持，以及奥斯曼帝国对这种支持的反应。奥斯曼帝国对犹太人在巴勒斯坦定居问题的反应是该条的一个重要组成部分。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Ottoman Studies has been published continuously since 1980 and has carried the pluralist heritage of the Ottomans to contemporary academe by bringing together Ottomanists from different countries as well as from different disciplines and schools of thought. As the founder of the journal, the late Nejat Göyünç (1925-2001), stated in the preface he wrote for the first volume of the journal, the aim of the journal “is to become a means for the increasingly growing number of students of Ottoman Studies to get together in this journal, to encourage young members of the scholarly profession by publishing their interesting research …, to help them to become known, and to facilitate the presentation of their research to the scholarly world.”
