Further, it argues that in the late Ottoman era Jews and Palestinians were already locked in conflict. The new freedoms introduced by the post-1908 Young Turk Constitutional Revolution exacerbated divisions, ratehr than serving as a unifying factor. Offering an integrative approach, this book considers both communties, together and separately, in order to provide a sophisticated narrative of how the conflict unfolded in its first years."
