Al-Jeel al-Jadid [The New Generation]. 51 ISSUES - COMPLETE RUN. الجيل الجديد

This newspaper is of utmost rarity, it was published under the supervision of Antun Saadeh, the founder of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party. The first issue appeared on 3rd April 1948, a period that witnessed the Palestinian tragedy and the arrival of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees to Lebanon after the creation of the state of Israel in June 1948.
The newspaper adopted a radical fundamental policy against the Zionist state. The political developments that followed in 1949, led the Lebanese government to encourage the Kata’ib sectarian Christian party to attack and burn the offices of this newspaper. The Kata’ib’s attack was a pretext for the government to arrest thousands of Saadeh’s party members, and in 8 July 1949, Sa’adeh was arrested and executed. The last issue carrying the number 51 published on the 11 June 1949, the day of the Kata’ib attack is considered extremely rare due to the limited publication.
