This Article aims to reveal the push and assisting factors affecting the migration of Palestinians from Palestine to America: (1876 - 1945 AD), by extracting them from Syrian-Palestinian popular literature and - articles, reports, advertisements for foreign means of transportation, and letters from immigrants from countries abroad - Palestine Newspaper (Filastin: Jaffa, 1911 AD). It should be noted that scientific studies related to the history of Palestinian Arab immigration to the United States are still few - most of them talk about the immigration of Palestinian Arabs in the wake of the Nakba War in 1948 AD and the Naksa War in 1967 AD, which made information about the Ottoman period and those that followed it, scarce to this day. . It centers on the migration of intellectuals and brains (Brain Drain) to America. This research deals with the period at the end of the nineteenth century (1876 AD) until World War II (1945 AD). As the years 1913 and 1914 AD are considered the peak years of immigration from Palestine. Popular literature and the Palestine newspaper confirm that the starting point of the migration was in the last quarter of the nineteenth century (1876 AD), which shows the beginning of a mass migration, especially of Palestinian merchants, during which the problem took clear dimensions, so this region can constitute a good model for the general phenomenon of Arab migration to the United States at the end of the nineteenth century. In my research, I followed this analytical approach because it suits the objectives of the research and the collection of accurate information through analysis and deduction of all the push and assisting factors affecting the migration of Palestinians to America and to produce results that are specific to the research problem through the following main sources: First, Syrian-Palestinian popular literature. Selected popular poetic examples – Secondly, the Filastin newspaper (Jaffa, 1911 AD) as a media source influencing the decision of individuals and groups to emigrate outside their homeland, Palestine, towards America. The study reached the most important results: Syrian-Palestinian popular literature and the Filastin newspaper are considered among the primary sources through which we can deduce the factors driving and assisting the migration of Palestinians to America: (1876-1945 AD), which participated and combined in formulating the decision-making of Palestinian individuals and groups to immigrate to outside their original countries.
