Excerpt from Zionist Work in Palestine The articles contained in this volume have been selected from the special Palestine number of Die Welt, the central official organ of the Zionist Organization, which was issued last autumn. The flattering reception which that German publication received, not merely from Zionists but even from pronounced opponents of the Jewish nationalist movement, encouraged the hope that an English issue - even if on a slightly reduced scale - would meet with an equally cordial welcome. The necessity of such an issue must be patent to every body in English-speaking countries who is interested in Zionism, and who knows how comparatively scanty the literature upon that subject is in English. The contri butors to the Palestine number of Die Welt, which has been reprinted as an independent miscellany, are all authorities on the particular subject with which they deal, and the publication forms the first attempt to pre sent in a comprehensive and authoritative form an account of the work already accomplished by Zionist efforts in Palestine and a forecast of the work to be accomplished.

Excerpt from Awakening Palestine The object of this book is to assist English readers to understand on the one side the motive force and the significance of Zionist work-in Palestine, on the other side the conditions under which that work is being carried on, the progress which it has made, and the problems by which it is confronted. Some unavoid able delay in the appearance of the book has interposed a larger interval than might have been desirable between the writing of certain of the articles and their publication; but it is believed that in all matters of importance the information given about Pales tinian conditions is substantially up-to-date.

Excerpt from Palestine of the Jews: Past, Present, and Future For more than two years I have been far from books and papers, which do not find a place in a marching kit, even with the generous allowance of 50 lbs. Of baggage; and I must crave indulgence on that account for any in accuracies and mistakes. I have made no attempt to be exhaustive in the account of the Jewish settlement, and I have given only my personal experience. To my father I owe it that my pencilled notes have been prepared for publication, with the assistance of my sister and her husband, who were among the colonisers before the war. And I am indebted to the same ready help for the incorporation in the text of references to the more salient later developments, so as to bring the work more nearly up to date.

Excerpt from The Struggle for the Hebrew Language in Palestine The events of the past three months (november, 1913 - Janu ary, 1914) have precipitated the Jewish people into a conflict over the Hebrew language. On the one side in this struggle is Palestine, the new Pales tine, active, energetic, confident of its future. Its live city popu lation is on this side, the whole of its educated class, the laborers and settlers in all the Jewish colonies, the school-teachers, sober minded men of experience who have devoted their lives to the revival of Hebrew, and their pupils, young people eager to live a Jewish life in the spirit of their models. It is the Side that is upheld by the Zionist organization, which stands Solid on this issue, ready for any sacrifice.

Excerpt from Recent Jewish Progress in Palestine It is only within the past sixty years, however, that the Jewish residents of Palestine have become an organic part of the land. The purpose of the following pages is to trace the lines of their material and spiritual progress during this period. Three events, occurring at intervals of about twenty years, typify the development of the Palestinian Jewish community during the last two generations approximately.

Excerpt from The Palestine Refugees The book is written from the Arab point of view. This is valuable, especially to Americans, since the great majority of statements made in this country have been definitely from the Zionist point of view, and we need some corrective. Unless we make far more effort to understand the psychology of the Arabs, and to realize how the refugee problem looks to them, we shall continue to impede any real settlement in the stormy Middle East. But if the/ reader of this book peruses it thoughtfully, he will see why the Arabs consider the Zionists foreign invaders who have stolen from these refugees the home land which their fathers had tilled for over a thousand years.

"A Land With A People began as a storytelling project of Jewish Voice for Peace-New York City and subsequently transformed into a theater project performed throughout the New York City area. A Land With A People elevates rarely heard Palestinian and Jewish voices and visions. It brings us the narratives of secular, Muslim, Christian, and LGBTQ Palestinians who endure the particular brand of settler colonialism known as Zionism. It relays the transformational journeys of Ashkenazi, Mizrahi, Palestinian and LGBTQ Jews who have come to reject the received Zionist narrative. Unflinching in their confrontation of the power dynamics that underlie their transformation process, these writers find the courage to face what has happened to historic Palestine, and to their own families as a result. Stories touch hearts, open minds, and transform our understanding of the "other"-as well as comprehension of our own roles and responsibilities. A Land With a People emerges from this reckoning. Contextualized by a detailed historical introduction and timeline charting 150 years of Palestinian and Jewish resistance to Zionism, this collection will stir emotions, provoke fresh thinking, and point to a more hopeful, loving future-one in which Palestine/Israel is seen for what it is in its entirety, as well as for what it can be"--
