Palestinian, Israeli and Arabic literatures have developed, for the past 60 years, in such a close geographic proximity, yet so far apart. Sixty years after the Nakba, and the establishment of the Israeli State, the battle of terminology continues not only bloodily on the ground, but also silently in literature. Despite many taboos, all three players are present in the others' literature, unnamed, untouched, and thus sometimes even more present. The authoress decided to analyze three novels. The first is by a great Palestinian writer Jabra Ibrahim J a b r a Gabra Ibrahim G a b r a, 'In Search of Walid Masoud' (Arab. Bahth' an Walid Mas'ud). The second is written by one of the most important Israeli writers of the so-called 'Statehood Generation' (1960s-1980s), A.B. Ye h o s h u a, 'The Lover'. Her third case is a novella story from modern Arabic literature, published only last year in Damascus 'Yawmiyyat Yahudi min Dimashq' by Ibrahim a l - D j a b i n. Through those authors the authoress tried to examine how 'the other' is portrayed. She has put the politics aside, and tried to see the Arab-Israeli conflict through a purely literary lens.

The article deals with a document “Moment of truth: A word of faith, hope, and love from the heart of Palestinian suffering“, of the Palestinian Kairos initiative. It has a two-fold structure. In the first part it briefly presents the socio-political and theological context of Palestinian Christianity and focuses on recent activities of some foreign churches and church organisations which are working in Palestinian territory. It also highlights the importance of ecumenical activities in Palestine. The author further introduces the document itself, its structure and some significant features and compares it with earlier similar documents of South African churches and of Muslim representatives. The article also presents some reactions of churches and church organisations as well as some negative receptions. The second part includes the author‘s Czech translation of the document with some comments.

Israel was in occupation of the Sinai Peninsula, the Golan Heights, East Jerusalem and the West Bank of the River Jordan by the 10th June 1967. The effect on all three countries was devastating, but especially for Jordan, which lost a third of its population and its prime agricultural land, and control of the Islamic and Christian sites in Jerusalem. The enormity of the defeat brought about a great change in the attitude of the Palestinians, a large number of whom now became convinced that the Arab regimes were either unable or unwilling to liberate Palestine. The Palestine Liberation Organization’s new tactics began to pose a severe threat to the continuation of the Jordanian monarchy, so in 1970 its guerrillas were driven out of Jordan. Over the next few years the Jordanian government gradually reasserted its authority over the country. Jordan did not participate in the war of October 1973. However, King Ḥusayn, along with his fellow Arab leaders, was obliged to recognize the PLO as the “sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people” at the Rabat Arab summit in October 1974, which inevitably diminished both his authority, and much of what was left of his appeal, on the West Bank.

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.

The 1947 partition plan for Palestine was certainly not a peaceful resolution to the contest for Palestine. Both Jewish and Arab armies lined up volunteers and equipped themselves as well as they could. Both sides committed terrorist acts against innocent civilians. The British folded their arms and ignored the escalating violence, as they were preparing to withdraw totally from Palestine. In this situation the Israeli army was in dire need of arms and Moscow which did not want to be directly involved in the conflict. Communist Czechoslovakia which belonged to the Soviet sphere of influence followed the instructions and supplied Israel with weapons despite UN sanctions. In the 1948 Arab-Israeli war Czechoslovakia had considerably contributed to the Israeli victory. After Israel turned to the West the USSR became the main supporter of the Arab national-liberation movement. After the 1952 military coup the Egyptian army turned out to be the real ruler of Egypt. Since armistice of 1949, the Egyptian-Israeli border had been the site of frequent hostilities. Israeli forces carried out their missions easily and emphasized their military superiority which made the Egyptians aware of the pressing need to replace the outmoded equipment left to them by the British. However, when the Egyptian president approached the West for arms, he was rebuffed. He therefore turned to the USSR that acted in a similar way as before. In September 1955 Egypt concluded an agreement with Czechoslovakia to purchase $ 200 million worth of advanced Soviet military equipment in exchange for Egyptian cotton. The so-called Czech arms deal was really a Soviet-Egyptian one and caused considerable annoyance mainly in Washington and London.

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 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.
