Petition to Restore Palestine to the Jews
The petition stated:
"Why shall not the powers which under the treaty of Berlin, in 1878, gave Bulgaria to the Bulgarians and Serbia to the Serbians now give Palestine back to the Jews? ...
These provinces, as well as Romania, Montenegro, and Greece, were wrested from the Turks and given to their natural owners. Does not Israel as rightfully belong to the Jews? "
The petition was signed by notable leaders, including:
John D. Rockefeller
J.P. Morgan
Cyrus McCormick
the U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice
D.L. Moody
A.T. Pierson
Philip Schaff
future president William McKinley
