Late Ottoman and Mandate Palestine

Yusuf al-‘Isa was an early pioneer of modern
journalism in Palestine which began to flourish
during the second Ottoman constitutional
period. During the years 1911–14 he worked
as the editor-in-chief of the Arabic newspaper
Filastin (Palestine). The texts written by him
reflect his broad cultural horizon, progressive
modernist thinking, open-mindedness, and
aversion to dogmatism. These writings also
manifest his commitment to secularism,
Ottoman and Palestinian patriotism, and
religious tolerance, as well as a respect for
and inclusive approach to other religious
and ethnic communities within the Ottoman
Empire.
