Karsh與Miller指控的第一處抄襲是：以色列對巴勒斯坦地區的佔領，是伴隨歐洲殖民帝國在非洲與亞洲的擴張。以下二段落呈現「抄襲」與「被抄襲」內容。
《巴勒斯坦問題》第69頁內容：Zionism ... coincided with the period of unparalleled European territorial acquisition in Africa and Asia, and it was as part of this general movement of acquisition and occupation that Zionism was launched initially by Theodor Herzl.
另一位巴勒斯坦裔美國學Sayegh（1922–1980）的1965年論文內容：The frenzied “scramble for Africa” of the 1880s stimulated the beginnings of Zionist colonization in Palestine. As European fortune-hunters, prospective settlers, and empire-builders raced for Africa, Zionist settlers and would-be state-builders rushed for Palestine.
Karsh與Miller指控的第二處抄襲是：以色列建國運動（Zionism）和其他19世紀的歐洲殖民帝國不同之處是，沒有所謂的對落後地區進行文明救贖任務。以下二段落呈現「抄襲」與「被抄襲」內容。
《巴勒斯坦問題》第68頁內容：Zionism … was a colonial vision unlike that of most other nineteenth-century European powers, for whom the natives of outlying territories were included in the redemptive mission civilisatrice.
指控的來源也是Sayegh 的論文：Unlike European colonization elsewhere ... Zionist colonization of Palestine was essentially incompatible with the continued existence of the “native population” in the coveted country.
