Exactly. This seems to me much stronger than if you were to contextualize the quotes within the academic book. No one can assail these. They come from the horse's mouth. And you give the citations if anyone doubts it. Nice.

I would include the quotes from Karnenu. They are legitimate since they come from the organization itself. If I were you I would not quote the book on the website. It would seem as though you are endorsing a particular academic opinion, which you aren't/shouldn't be, and the original quotes speak for themselves here.
Interesting? Oh yes, but nothing earth-shattering.

I added this, and several other quotes/elements from "Propaganda and Zionist Education" to my thesis.
Comments?
I am thinking of adding this text to all the JNF posters at the PPPA.

The Jewish National Fund was the earliest Zionist agency to recognize the power and efficacy of the poster to advance these goals:
“Commercial propaganda essentially aspires to achieve the same goal we are trying to achieve, and that is to arouse as many people as possible for a known purpose to do something they would not have done without the propaganda; buy some given product, prefer a certain well-known firm. …We also wish to cause the large Jewish multitudes to remember the JNF at all times.” Source: Karnenu (Our Fund) Year 3 (1926), no. 5-6, p.5
Accordingly the Head Office (of the Jewish National Fund) recommended the following:
“We must inundate the Jewish people with slogans and pictures, to rivet their attention, to create an atmosphere of unrest…[to distribute the pictures and slogans] in every place a Jew sets foot in: in communal centres, lodges, places of business, society and union centres, the offices of charity organizations, mutual aid societies, rabbinical offices, libraries, theatres, bath houses and rest houses, shelters, hospitals, pharmacies, clinics, synagogues, seminaries, schools, doctor’s waiting rooms, restaurants, hotels, pensions…leave no place where there is no illustrated poster with a clear and brief text….” Source: Karnenu (Our Fund) Year 4 (1927), no. 1, p.6
