| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the treatment of Jewish and Israeli history in post-World War II Turkish textbooks. Jewish and Israeli history remains largely relegated to the margins in the books. The Jews of Arabia are shown in an antagonistic role during the advent of Islam, while the Jews of the Ottoman Empire are generally subsumed under the category of non-Muslims. The Ottoman reception of the Spanish (Sephardi) Jews is used to exemplify Turkish tolerance. The subject of the Jewish Holocaust is usually avoided. The older textbooks strike a more balanced approach towards Israel than the recent ones.

| Summary/Abstract |
The policies of the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) towards Zionism and Jewish immigration and settlement in Palestine have already been considered in the scholarly literature. The other side of the issue, however, namely how the Yishuv itself regarded the CUP and its policies in general, has not been the subject of a systematic examination. The present study attempts to explore this question by a reading of five different Hebrew newspapers published in Palestine during the period 1909–1914. The findings indicate that the newspapers of the Second Aliyah immigrants and the Orthodox Ashkenazim were more supportive of the CUP than those of the Sephardim and especially the First Aliyah immigrants, depending on the different priorities of each sector within the Yishuv. Regardless of these differences, however, and in spite of the Yishuv’s growing disillusionment with the Unionists already observed by the existing literature, all the newspapers considered here ultimately gave preference to the CUP over the opposition. Among their reasons for this preference were its lack of overt hostility to the Jews and the Yishuv, its identity as the mainstay of the constitutional regime, and its relative superiority in terms of qualified staff, coherence, and socio-economic programmes.

| Summary/Abstract |
This is a study of the responses of the Arabic and Hebrew press of Palestine to the abolitions of the Ottoman Sultanate and Caliphate. It is based on a comparative examination of the contemporary coverage of the events by the Arabic newspapers al-Karmil and Filastin and by the Hebrew newspapers Doar ha-Yom and Haaretz. The analysis yields valuable insights about how the Yishuv and the Palestinians viewed the abolitions of the Sultanate and Caliphate, the contemporary significance of these institutions, Kemalist Turkey, the rival population in Palestine, and Sharif Husayn. Mainly, it shows that the Hebrew press hailed the abolitions as revolutionary developments that would pave the road before the modernization of not only Turkey but the whole of Asia, while the Arabic press considered this too momentous a matter to be decided by Turkey alone and predicted adverse consequences for both that country and the East.
