Zionism, Palestinian Nationalism, and the Law
During the early years of the Arab-Jewish conflict in Palestine, the parties repeatedly used the law to gain leverage against each other and influence international opinion. By the late 1920s and 1930s, the conflict had become as much a battle fought in the courtroom as in the streets. The arguments the parties made in those trials continue resonating in the conflict today, nearly one hundred years later.
