Hillel Cohen's book: When Palestinians fought for Zionism

Hillel Cohen's book explores a lesser-known chapter of history where Palestinian Arabs actively supported Zionism before the establishment of the State of Israel. The book highlights that some Palestinians were recruited by Zionist intelligence agencies, recognizing that many Arab Palestinians would not oppose a Jewish state solely due to material interests. Others supported Zionism out of personal conviction or the belief that resisting the creation of a Jewish state was futile. Cohen presents this period as a time when Palestinian Arabs, despite their eventual opposition to Israeli policies, had complex relationships with Zionism.
