Abstract

Fundamentalism is a school born primarily of the Protestant religion. Protestantism is a reform movement that originated in Berber Europe around the 15th century. The representative of the Protestant movement was mainly Martin Luther (1483-1546 AD), a professor of theology at the University of Wittenberg, who rebelled against the church and the pardon order issued by Pope Leo X in 1517. Before him, of course, John Wycliffe (1330-1384) and Janusz rebelled against the Catholic Church, but their revolt was for political reasons rather than belief. Concerning Jewish fundamentalism, the orthodox Talmudic Jews, who have accepted and practically believed in the modern interpretation of Jewish Zionism from the Promised Land, are considered Jewish fundamentalists.
This study was conducted with the aim of semiotically examining the first movements of fundamentalism among the Jews who immigrated to the Occupied Palestinian Territories through the method of library studies. In fact, the study sought to answer the question, what were the signs of the first Jewish fundamentalist movement in the Occupied Palestinian Territories? At the end of the research process, the research hypothesis that there are four main signs: 1- Loyalty to the myth of the Promised Land; 2. The preaching of the two Messiahs; 3- Otherization 4-Pragmatism; It is one of the signs of the first Jewish fundamentalist movement in the occupied territories; It was proved.
