| Summary/Abstract |
The article examines the size, structure, composition and modi operandi of the Arab military forces which fought the Jews in the 1948 war, before the invasion of the Arab regular armies, based first and foremost on the Arab sources themselves. An attempt is made to assess the substantial reasons behind the Arab defeat in the first ‘civil war’ phase of the campaign, including a comparison of the number of combatants, which also explains the outcome.

| Summary/Abstract |
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder of modern Turkey, was one of the early leaders of the Young Turk movement. Nevertheless, when he founded modern Turkey as a nation-state he pushed the veterans of the Young Turks aside, as their pan-Turanian ideology no longer suited the basics of the new state. The leaders of the Young Turks represented the past and their perceptions no longer corresponded with the change of circumstances and the new objects of the nascent state. While Armenian activists assassinated some of the top leaders of the Young Turks as a revenge for the Armenian genocide, second-rank leaders had now to find their way in modern Turkey. Aziz Bey was one of the seniors of the Ottoman security system during the Young Turks period and eventually reached the most senior position of director of the Ottoman General Security Service. When modern Turkey emerged, because of his remarkable talents, he managed to fit in middle-level positions in the new state (province governor, mayor and MP), but never regained elite status.

| Summary/Abstract |
Muhammad Rashīd Riḍā was one of the most prominent religious scholars of Sunni Islam in the first third of the twentieth century, a reformer who sought to rehabilitate the Muslim world by means of a return to its origins, a strategy later followed by the Muslim Brotherhood and other fundamentalist movements. This article deals with a lesser-known aspect of Riḍā’s thought – his evolving attitude toward the Jewish settlement in Palestine and the Zionist movement. It began with appreciation if not admiration, continued in attempts at cooperation (in the face of common enemies and in general), and ended with anti-Semitic remarks and unequivocal religious rulings (fatwās) against the Zionist enterprise. All the same, even when Riḍā came to believe that the Zionist movement was an enemy that had to be fought, he still appreciated its abilities and continued to hold that Arabs and Muslims should take it as a role model both in fighting it and in general.

| Summary/Abstract |
The article follows a correspondence between two anti-Zionist activists, George Antonius, author of The Arab Awakening and a member of the Palestinian Arab delegation to the 1939 London ‘round table’ conference, and Elizabeth P. MacCallum, a Canadian expert on the Middle East and later the ‘Middle East desk’ of the Canadian Department of External Affairs. Following a very negative book review of The Arab Awakening by the American journalist Albert Viton, MacCallum tried hard to publish positive reviews of the book. She failed, as she failed several years later in her attempts to thwart Canadian support for the UN Palestine partition resolution.
