From Ambivalence to Hostility: The Arabic Newspaper Filastin and Zionism, 1911-1914 2016

The monograph From Ambivalence to Hostility focuses on writings on Zionism published in the pre-WWI period (1911-1914) in the Arabic newspaper Filastin ('Palestine'). It covers a broad range of subjects treated by the periodical including Jewish land purchases in and immigration to Palestine, violent incidents between Jewish and Arab communities, Zionist boycott and Zionist Congresses. The second chapter of the book offers a detailed analysis of the gradual, yet profound transformation of Filastin's editorial policy vis-a-vis Zionism before World War I.
