While Zionism was meticulously executing its plans in Palestine and Arab lands, the Ottoman governments disregarded and downplayed the Jewish activities that had been ongoing since the late 19th century.

Najib Nassar, concerned with the issue and committed to raising awareness of the imminent threat posed by Zionism, dedicated his newspaper, "Al-Karmel," to publish warning files and track news and plans directly from Hebrew sources, especially the Jewish Encyclopedia—a comprehensive documentation of their literature, ideologies, and colonial aspirations.

This book (The Rise of Zionism and its Social Effects) collects documents available to Al-Karmel until 1905, covering the emergence, growth, goals, and spread of Zionism. The author comments on them, calling for action to avoid the curses of ancestors and descendants brought on by neglecting the homeland.
