There were several sources of the ideology of Zionist revisionism. The movement's main thinker was its founder Vladimir Jabotinsky. However, the doctrine he formulated drew inspiration from intellectual currents as diverse as Zionism (particularly Theodor Herzl and Max Nordau) or the European Romantic tradition. These inspirations were reflected in the shape of the movement's political thought and its practical actions.

In 1921, the Jews accounted for approximately 10% of the population in Zawiercie district and for some 20% in the town of Zawiercie itself. The regaining of independence by Poland coincided with the establishment of local branches of Jewish political parties in Zawiercie region. A lot of influence was wielded by the Zionists (the centrist Zionist Organization and the right-wing Mizrachi) as well as the conservative Agudas Israel. The full development of the Jews' socio-political life in the region occurred in the late 1920s. That was when many diverse associations came to life. The Great Crisis led to a surge of activity of Zionists parties and associations, including extremist ones. The influence of right-wing Zionist revisionists was rising, but so was that of the leftist Poale Zion, and of Hehalutz and Hashomer Hatzair. In the late 1930s, the prolonged economic crisis caused a decline in the activity, or even the disintegration of some political parties and civic organizations affiliated to them. The popularity of the Zionist Left was rising, but Mizrachi and the Zionist Organization also preserved a lot of their influence. It was only at that time that the socialist Bund began to operate in the region.

„Nasz Przegląd” was a paper which appeared in Warsaw in the years 1923-1939, in Polish, and was targeted on the Polonized Jewish bourgeoisie. It articulated Zionist views. „Nasz Przegląd” writers emphasized the Jews’ national identity, deplored assimilation) and advocated the formation of separate Jewish civic institutions. At the same time, „Nasz Przegląd” dedicated plenty of space to Polish culture. It suggested that it was not the Polish nation, just its nationalistic right wing, that was responsible for the anti-Semitism encountered in the Polish society. The paper emphasized the patriotism of Polish Jews and glorified Marshal Piłsudski. Also the Polish Roman Catholic clergy was presented in a favourable light.

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 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.

Reuven Fahn (1878–1939/1944), was a self-made historian, ethnographer, epigraphist, poet, writer, journalist, and ardent Zionist of Galician origin. Already in his youth he could speak and write literary Hebrew, German, Yiddish, and apparently, Polish and Ruthenian (Ukrainian). At the age of 13 he was a Jewish nationalist and admirer of Erets Yisra’el. He published his first journalist report in Hebrew in the periodical “Ha-Magid” in 1893. At the age of 16 he published a poem entitled Beit Yisra’el. In 1897 he and moved to Halicz which was at that time a shtetl with significant Rabbanite and Karaite community. Fahn left an impressive literary heritage: ca. 14 separate monographs and brochures, and more than 200 articles and reports in Hebrew, Yiddish, and German. These publications included journalist reports, travel notes, poems, short stories, legends, feuilletons, and scholarly essays. The importance of Fahn’s scholarly publications on the Karaites is also strengthened by the fact that many of the sources used by Fahn (e.g. tombstone inscriptions, manuscripts, and architectural monuments) were later lost or destroyed. During Fahn’s lifetime his belletrist publications attracted much attention and criticism on the part of famous Jewish litterateurs such as Samuel Agnon, Joseph Brenner, or Gershom Bader. The aim of this paper is to analyse Reuven Fahn’s publications dedicated to the Karaite community of Halicz and to remind scholarly public about the importance of the contribution to the field of Jewish studies and Hebrew literature of Reuven Fahn – writer, scholar, Zionist and a victim of Nazi persecution. Readers can also find interesting information on the contacts between Fahn and important twentieth–century Jewish figures such as Samuel Agnon, Majer Bałaban, Sholem Asch, Samuel Poznański and others.

This article examines the emergence of the modern Arabic literary writing of the Jews of Iraq. After only a few decades, the start of its demise, in both Iraq and outside it, and then the switch to writing in Hebrew in Israel. The high point of such writing in Arabic was during the 1920s when Iraqi-Jews started to produce literary works that “were Arabic in essence and expression.” It was a secular literature, inspired by a cultural vision whose most eloquent dictum was “religion is for God, the fatherland is for everyone.” However, during recent decades the Arabic literature that 20th-century Iraqi-Jews have produced has been totally relegated to the margins of Arabic culture. This development was due not only to political and national circumstances but also to the aesthetic and cultural norms of both Arabic-Muslim and Hebrew-Jewish cultural systems. The vision embedded in the aforementioned dictum was the product of a very limited period, a very confined space, and a very singular history. It lived to the age of a sturdy human being, by this rare combination of time, space and history, before disappearing and being forgotten, at least for the foreseeable future.

Before the outbreak of World War I the Jewish congregation in Frýdek-Místek saw a period of its apparent heyday. The local Jews declared their adherence to the Jewish nationality; this encouraged the local followers of Zionism to try and establish a Zionist association here. In the twenties, however, the Zionists failed to create a compact group within the local Jewish community. The economic foundations of the Jewish congregation were then disrupted by the Great Depression. The rise of Nazi power reflected also in the congregation in spring 1938 as several Jewish refugees came here from Austria. Other refugees joined the community in late summer and early autumn in connection with the Nazi occupation of Sudetenland. In spite of that most Jews stayed in the city. Their tragic fate was eventually closed with the transports to concentration camps that took place from September 1942 to early 1945.

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.
