Al-Quds (Arabic: القدس) is a Palestinian Arabic language daily newspaper, based in Jerusalem. It is published in broadsheet format. It is the largest circulation daily newspaper in the Palestinian territories.[1] It was founded in 1951 by Mahmoud Abu-Zalaf, who served as its editor-in-chief until his death in 2005. It is currently edited by Mahmoud's son, Walid Abu-Zalaf. In addition to paper circulation, the newspaper publishes its content online in PDF and HTML format. On December 17, 2008, the newspaper's website began publishing content in Persian.
Criticism
The newspaper has been criticized by Israeli research organization Palestinian Media Watch for publishing "problematic" content including Antisemitism, such as defining “treachery” as the Jewish character trait in a crossword puzzle.[2] On the edition of 30 November 1997, the newspaper claimed that The Protocols of the Elders of Zion were a fact.[3] On the other hand, it has gone against the traditional Palestinian boycott of Israeli elections in east Jerusalem by publishing full page ads and endorsing mayoral candidate Arcadi Gaydamak.[4]
