1. The following is a quote from your essay that struck me and I was wondering if you could elaborate more on the impact that the early images of Jerusalem (and lack of focusing on its inhabitants) had on Zionism: "This ‘amazing ability to discover the land without discovering the people’, to use the words of Beshara Doumani, may very well have paved the way for the emergence of the popular mythical image of Palestine as a land without a people, which became a slogan of the Zionist movement half a century later."
2. How did the early images of Jerusalem and Palestine in general encourage the expansion of colonialism in that area, if at all?
