| description | Ahmed Hilmi, who was born in Plovdiv in Bulgaria, today. He is considered as one of the important intellectuals of the Constitutional Period. His father was Sehbender Süleyman Bey and his mother was Sevkiye. The use of the title Sehbenderzâde (son of the consul) for Ahmed Hilmi stemt from his father being a consul in Plovdiv. Ahmed Hilmi, who had an opposing personality, published a weekly newspaper called Ittihad-ı Islam, but after a short period of publication, the newspaper was closed again. After that, he started to write political and philosophical articles in newspapers such as Ikdam, Sehbâl, Yeni Tasvir-i Efkâr and Sirat-i Müstâkim. On April 21, 1910, he started publishing Hikmet newspaper, which had an important place in his publication history, on a weekly basis and later made it a daily. In addition to the writings he wrote under his own name in these publications, he used nickname like Sheikh Mihrîdin Ârusi in his Sufi writings; Coskun Kalender and Kalender Gedâ in his humorous writings; and Ozdemir in his national and poetry poems. The Hikmet newspaper, the most important work in which Ahmed Hilmi clearly reflected his thoughts, was suspended after the publication of fourteen issues between 9-23 September 1911 and started to be published again between 1 August 1912 and 23 January 1913. The writings of Hikmet by Ahmed Hilmi, which were the subjects of our study, covered the issues that came to the fore in society and politics during the author’s lifetime. On the other hand, based on the idea of nationalism that emerged with the French Revolution, the Zionism movement emerged and began to infiltrate first into Europe and then into the Ottoman Empire. With the realization of the policies implemented by the Zionists for their purposes, a inconvenience was felt and this situation spread from the parliament to the street. Ahmed Hilmi’s writings on Zionism emerged in such a process. Ahmed Hilmi argued that if the people living in the Ottoman Empire were gathered under the roof of Islam, no separatist idea could harm this roof. This would also create a shield against the idea of nationalism and prevent segregation according to him. However, he claimed that Zionism failed this effort as well. Zionism, which approached people based on financial needs, had not any difficulties in gaining followers. Because Ottoman society contained many poor and ambitious people trying to get rid of this poverty. In order to support these supporters economically, the Zionists sought to obtain a significant amount of wealth. Monopolization was the most profitable enrichment method employed in commercial life. Therefore, it has been observed that Zionism made great gains within the borders of the Ottoman Empire with this method. According to Ahmed Hilmi, the most distinctive feature of Zionist politics was the ability to use people and use them for their goals. Zionism used people of every status, from politicians to soldiers, from scientists to journalists, from shopkeepers to civil servants. However, it was claimed that the poor, homeless and vagrants, which were the elements that were used when a radical change like a revolution was to be made in a country, wers the most important groups serving Zionists. Secrecy and loyalty were what made this enormous politics successful. With his writings, Ahmed Hilmi tried to create awareness in the society against this structure which has a secret organization and emphasized that everyone should be careful about the methods of Zionist politics every time without getting tired. |
