Examines concepts of the Jews as "others" in modern Arabic novels, stories, plays, and poetry. Notes that, until the establishment of Israel, Jews were portrayed with either negative or positive traits. The negative traits (e.g. treacherousness and greed) derived from the Islamic period, while the positive traits (e.g. loyalty and kindness) derived from earlier periods. Since the establishment of the Jewish state, Jews, Zionists, and Israelis have been portrayed only negatively. While this is the case in Palestinian literature as well, Palestinian writers (unlike other Muslim writers) do differentiate between various types of Jews, since some of them actually know Jews personally.
