- Political ideology based on the old testament. Having a god-given right to a land. Christopher Columbus had this back in 1492, and the idea was revisited in 1896 by Herzl, who believed that the Jews should get what god promised them after the Romans forced an exodus upon the race. Pinsker's Autoemancipation argued that anti-Semitism is engrained in Europeans, and the Dreyfus conviction (treason injustice put upon an innocent man) seemed to add weight to this. Even Mark Twain's book The Innocents Abroad keyed a phrase: "A Land without a People for a People without a Land" regarding the region of Palestine. These are some of the public mindsets that led to the supported occupation of Palestine.
