Western Imperialism Enhances Changes in Palestine
The presence of Western imperialist interests in the Ottoman Empire
in general and in Palestine in particular also expressed itself
through the various missionaries and consular offices operating
there. In the name of religion (namely Christianity and Judaism),
Russia, Germany, Britain and France began to advance their colontal
interests in Palestine. In 1860, the "Alliance Isrealite Universelle"
was established, and in 1868, Germany sponsored the Templars who
established their first colony in Palestine. In 1898, the "“Anglo-
Jewish Association" was established and in 1901, the “Hilfsverein der
Deutchen Juden" represented German Jewish capitalist interests in
Palestine (Gozansky, 1986: 62).
