Palestinism

Where it comes from

From Palestine + -ism.

noun

  1. uncountable Support for the establishment of Jewish settlements in Palestine in the early discussions of the Zionist movement. In the north of Europe and America—especially in the Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon countries, in all Germanic and in some measure also in Celtic ones—Palestinism has permeated so far that one fancies himself to be among Jews.

    Similar: Zionism

  2. uncountable A belief in the unique identity of the Arabic tribes from the Palestinian region and their consequent right to a national identity. The convenience and appropriateness of the constitution of self-government along confessional lines enabled the British administration to sustain the illusion of Palestinism for some time.
