Antonius had an unqualified admiration for Haj Amin, who, as Freya Stark recalled, “had bewitched George Antonius as securely as ever a siren did her mariner, leading him through his slippery realms with sealed eyes so that George—whom I was fond of—would talk to me without a flicker about the Mufti’s ‘single-hearted goodness’.”

While the basic moral question about which Antonius wrote has not been altered by the slightest fraction in 45 years, the dislodgment and extermination of the Palestinian nation which he feared is still taking place.
Antonius was a Greek Orthodox Arab of Lebanese origin who first entered British government service in Egypt and later served in Palestine, where he rose to the post of assistant secretary.

Historically speaking, the term was used to denote that rectangle of land which forms the eastern boundary of the Mediterranean Sea, and is bounded on the north by the Taurus Mountains, on the east by the Syrian Desert, on the south by the Sinai Desert and Peninsula, and on the west by the Mediterranean Sea.
The initial period of the French Mandate, particularly from 1920 to 1927, was essentially a period of darkness, repression and rebellions of varying magnitude.
It truly seemed to be, as George Antonius described it, "like a dark age of blindness and folly and waste, in which the mandatory Power and her officials sowed the seeds of trouble and reaped its harvest in the rebellion with which the period closes."[35]

 The Arab University: Nationalist Caldron or Center of Scholarship? - Don Peretz
In his classic history The Arab Awakening, George Antonius gives major credit to AUB, then called the Syrian Protestant College, for its pioneering role as one of the first centers of the Arab national movement.
More recently, institutions of higher education in the West Bank and Gaza have been setting the pace for Palestinian nationalism; as a result, they are prime targets of the Israeli occupation forces' efforts to put down the Intifada (uprising) that began in December 1987.
Antonius credits AUB with an influence "greater than that of any other institution" on the revival of Arab consciousness during the late nineteenth century.

George Antonius' classic study, The Arab Awakening (9) was an original, powerful, and wrong-headed book whose message has wrecked damage across the decades.
In teleological fashion, Antonius presented the intellectual history of the preceding century as a gradual building up to what he called the "Arab national movement," or Pan-Arab nationalism.

 A Jewish Majority By All Means
According to Ben-Gurion, Antonius had complained about Zionists who "want to bring to Palestine the largest number of Jews possible, without taking [Palestinian] Arabs into consideration at all.
With this type," said Antonius, "it is impossible to come to an understanding.
They want a 100% Jewish state, and the Arabs will remain in their shadow." By the end of their talk, Antonius could, with reason, conclude that Ben-Gurion belonged precisely to this category of Zionists.

Antonius even justified the violence of the Palestinian Arabs as “the inevitable corollary of the moral violence done to them.” National rights were likewise nonnegotiable for even the most liberal Zionists.
Neither Zionism nor Arabism, just as each was trying to dignify a dormant nation, could bear such an injury to its nationalist aspirations: to see another nation carved out of the Arab patrimony or to require others’ permission to live in the Jewish ancestral home.
Even though Antonius was not Muslim, Islam surely had something to do with his idea of Arab culture — Antonius worried that he was inadequate to write The Arab Awakening because “I have not even the qualification of being a Moslem” — just as Judaism was inevitably bound up with the Zionist aspiration.
