This article explores the endeavour to purchase a large tract called “the lands of as-Sirr” (Arab. arāḍī as-Sirr) by two prominent Gazans al-Ḥājj Sacīd Effendi ash-Shawwā and Aḥmad cĀrif Effendi al-Ḥusaynī. These lands were located in the recently established sub-district of Beersheba (Arab. Biʼr as-Sabc). The cAzāzima and Tarābīn tribes attempted unsuccessfully to regain the ownership of the lands after these had been previously temporarily seized by the government. Their return to them was conditioned upon reaching an agreement between the tribes on the division of the lands. In the summer of 1914 the sons of the two above-mentioned Gazan notables offered the Bedouins to arrange with the authorities the return of the lands into their possession in exchange for their subsequent sale for a heavily discounted price. It was rumoured at the time that they intended to sell these lands to the Zionists. In the contemporary Palestinian Arabic press (the newspapers Filasṭīn from Jaffa and al-Karmal from Haifa) this matter was extensively discussed and the notables were criticized for their lack of patriotism and for acting as middlemen for the Zionists. Furthermore, the editor-in-chief of Filasṭīn, Yūsuf al-cĪsā, scolded the notables for taking advantage of the vulnerability of the poverty-stricken Bedouins.

The aim of the present study is to explore the anti-Zionist journalistic activities of Najib al-Khuri NaSSar in his paper al-Karmal in the period before the First World War. The paper focuses on the issues of al-Karmal published in 1914. All articles dealing with Zionism from this year were thoroughly analysed. The editor of this newspaper, Najib NaSSar, was the most active and persistent anti-Zionist journalist and activist of this period. Most of his attention was devoted to Zionist land purchases and he drew attention to every change to the existing status quo. He regularly warned his fellow citizens that the goal of the Zionists was to take possession of Palestine and drive out the indigenous Arab population.

In the short period between the Young Turk Revolution and the outbreak of the First World War two important translations into Arabic concerning Zionism were published in Palestine. The first of them appeared in 1911, when Najīb al-Khūrī NaSSār translated an article entitled “Zionism” from the Jewish Encyclopedia and published it firstly in the newspaper al-Karmal and later on that year in the form of a book. The second was carried out by cĪsā al-cĪsā in 1914, when he translated and published part of the book Our Program by Menachem Ussishkin in his newspaper FilasTīn. The goal of this paper is to analyse these translated documents and the comments written by the translators, and to put them into the historical context.

This article focuses on the last years of Mamlūk rule in the Nile Valley. First, the article briefly discusses the all-out war between the Egyptian viceroy Muhammad cAlī Pasha and the Mamlūks, and the subsequent withdrawal of the latter to Dongola in northern Sudan. This is followed by a description of the situation in Nubia and Dongola at the beginning of the 19th century. The main goal of the paper is to depict the fortunes of the short-lived Mamlūk statelet in Dongola, which existed throughout the second decade of the 19th century in a state of incessant war with its Shāyqīya neighbours, only to disappear due to the Turco-Egyptian expedition of conquest against the Funj kingdom of Sinnār led by Ismācīl Kāmil Pasha, son of the Egyptian viceroy Muḥammad cAlī Pasha, in 1820.

Modern Jewish immigration and colonization of Palestine started in the eighth decade of the 19th century. Though it took some time until the Arabs started to formulate their opposition towards these activities. At the turn of the century, with the formulation of the Zionist political programme, some Arabs started to voice their opposition in various forms. They were increasingly well informed about Zionist goals and aware of the implications of their policies. However several structural barriers prevented anti-Zionism from becoming a broader movement.

This paper deals with two Turkish-Egyptian expeditions sent to Sudan by the Egyptian Viceroy Muḥammad cAlī Pasha at the turn of the third decade of the nineteenth century. The first one, commanded by his son Ismācīl Kāmil Pasha, conquered the declining kingdom of Sinnār in 1820 – 1821. The second one was led by his son-in-law, Muḥammad Bey Khusraw ad-Daftardār, and seized Kordofan (Arab. Kurdufān) in 1821. After the killing of Ismācīl Kāmil Pasha in Shandī, tribes inhabiting the Nile valley revolted in October 1822. Following the brutal suppression of the revolt, Sudan became an Egyptian colony. However, the main long-term goals of the expedition – to acquire large quantities of gold and build a modern army of Sudanese slaves – were not accomplished.

This paper deals with the anti-Zionist activities of Shukre al-oAsali in the last years before the First World War. In the autumn 1910 Shukre al-oAsali was behind the most vociferous campaign against Zionist purchases in the pre-WWI period. In his capacity as the qa'immaqam of abariya he took all possible measures to prevent the transfer of the lands of the village of al-Fula from Iliyas Sursuq to the Zionists. Even though eventually his efforts were not successful, his extensive publicizing of the case helped to spread awareness of the ongoing Zionist undertaking in Ottoman Palestine throughout Greater Syria and was one of the most significant reasons for growing anti-Zionism during that period. Following his election to the Ottoman parliament in January 1911, he continued to point his finger at Jewish immigration and land purchases. The most important act of his parliamentary career concerning Zionism was the speech he delivered in May 1911 along with two other Arab deputies.

This study analyses how and why did the most active Arab anti-Zionists in the pre-WWI period respond to Zionism. A rather unusual approach was chosen to accomplish this task: instead of an attempt at a flowing narrative, the historical period in questions is laid out in the form of personal profiles of half a dozen leading personalities who in one way or another dealt with various issues related to Zionism. The present study shows how these personalities responded to Zionism, Jewish immigration and land purchases, to various Zionist approaches to the coexistence with the local population, public communications and other statements of Zionists published in the press.
