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.
