Zionism in Arab discourses introduces a groundbreaking thesis to the study of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Through analyses of hundreds of texts written by Arab Islamists and liberals from the late 19th century to the "Arab Spring", the book demonstrates that the Zionist enterprise has played a dual function of an enemy and a mentor. Islamists and liberals alike discovered, respectively, in Zionism and in Israeli society qualities they sought to implement in their societies. Fascinating and unexpected Arab points of views on different aspects of Zionism are uncovered - From the first Zionist Congress to First Lebanon War; from gardening in the early years of Tel Aviv to women service in the IDF. The book is as an indispensible, nuanced source on the development of Arab Islamist and liberal views on Zionism and Israel. It is essential reading for experts and students in the fields of Middle Eastern Studies, Israel Studies, international relations, Culture Studies and Democracy Studies.
