ARAB STATES PREPARE TO FIGHT ABDULLAH
By JON KIMCHE, Special to The Palestine PostLONDON , Saturday —Representatives of the Arab States here express serious disquiet following reports that King Abdullah's Arab Legion will occupy the Arab State sector of Palestine when the British withdraw. One British source normally very close to these representatives has stated , however, that what will happen, according to his information, is rather different .The Arab Legion , together with a token force from Iraq, will occupy, he said, the central sector of the Palestine Arab State. Syria and the Lebanon will occupy the coastal stretch of the Arab State north of Acre, and Egypt, with a token Saudi Arabian force, will occupy parts of the Negev and the desert frontier area. What will _happen after such a "partition of partitioned Palestine", he added, is anybody's guess, but one thing is certain : that the Arab States will not accept Trans-Jordan taking over by itself, and that TransJordan will oppose Syrian and Lebanese inroads.
One of the Holy Places in connection with which it has not infrequently been necessary to give rulings of the character indicated above is the Western or Wailing Wall; in Jerusalem. This Wall; forms part of the western exterior of the ancient Jewish Temple; being the last remaining vestige of that sacred place it is regarded with the greatest reverence by religious Jews, whose custom of praying there extended back to at least the Middle Ages. ....The Wall is also part of the Haram-esh-Sherif, which is an Islamic place of great sanctity, being reckoned next to the sacred cities of Mecca and Medina as an object of veneration to Moslems.
Merriman introduced part of Chancellor’s statement to the Permanent Mandates Commission in July, in which he stated that the Moslems are trying to invest El Burak with a sanctity never before attached to it. Merriman implied that the Government was as skeptical as the Jews regarding the sacredness of the pavement to the Moslems.
Among the orthodox who maintain the legends of Islam as historic truth, the famous "Night-Journey" of the Prophet sanctifies, as could nothing else, Jerusalem as a city of Muslim shrines, especially the Rock itself, from which Mohammed ascended into Heaven, and the Wall of al-Buraq, where Gabriel, the angelic conductor, tied up the divine steed on the arrival at the "further mosque" from Mecca. Unfortunately, this last spot is identified as the same as the "Wailing Wall," involving a clash of religious sentiments which has often led to tragic results. Of course, the factious can always find factors. But is the Wall of al-Buraq the same as the Wailing Wall? The spot of contention is the southern end of the western wall of the Haram area. Muslim tradition is now well established that this is the holy station of their Prophet. Some accounts of the Night-Journey, as for instance our own author, say that Mohammed entered through a "gate through which the sun and the moon incline"--or shine at setting. This would indicate, of course, a western or southwestern gate. It agrees with the ordinary identification as the now walled-up Bab an-Nabi underneath the Gate of the Moors, Bab al-Maghribah, just south of the Place of Wailing, in the western wall of the Haram.
Further, Ibn al-Fakih (903) says the place of the tying up of al-Buraq is in the angle of the southern minaret-which was at the southwest corner of the Haram. And Ibn 'Abd Rabbih (913) says it is under the corner of the masjid-which Le Strange (in his book Palestine Under the Moslems) takes to mean the Aqsa but which can as well refer to the entire Haram and therefore Aqsa, mean the same as the statement of Ibn al-Fakih.
But Muqaddasi (985), a citizen of Jerusalem and a most careful writer, speaks of the "two gates" of the Prophet, in such terms as positively to identify his choice as the ancient double gate in the south wall of the Aqsa. There used to run here a large entrance which is still a subterranean opening from within the mosque. The location of the former double gate is just as near the southern minaret on the southwestern corner as is the Gate of the Moors in the southern portion of the western wall.Further, Nasir I Khusrau (1047), despite the earthquake which came between Muqaddasi and him, resulting in changes of structure and name, still speaks of this gate under the Aqsa as the gate of the Prophet. He says (as quoted by Le Strange, P. M., pp. 178-9): "The gate of the Prophet... which opens toward the kiblah point-- that is, towards the south... The Prophet... on the night of his ascent into heaven, passed into the noble sanctuary through this passageway, for the gateway opens on the road from Makkah." It is only when we come to Mujir ad-Din, as late as 1496, an author whose work was almost entirely of secondary material, that we have a definite change of reference to the southwestern gate in the western wall as the gate of the prophet; and even here the author is speaking mainly of the Gate of the Moors over the walled-up gate which he says incidentally is also called Bab an-Nabi. (See Le S., p. 182.)Finally, Le Strange (p. 182), who had studied thoroughly all the Arab geographers and historians on Palestine, takes the gates of the Prophet as named (not in order) by the two earliest writers Ibn al-Fakih and Ibn 'Abd Rabbih, to be identifiable with those named in the southern wall by Muqaddasi and Nasir. This places the weight of testimony on the western portion of the southern wall of the Haram area, not the southern portion of the western wall, as the proper Wall of al-Buraq of Muslim tradition.
KAPLAN SEES JEWS SEEKING NEW GODS"Let Us Not Become Too Worldly for Our Faith," Professor Says."You claim it is hard for you to be a Jew, because. you don't know what real true Judaism is. After the present reformers have gotten through, not even a Jew ran recognize, his own traditions, customs and religion. "This statement wars made by Prof. Modercai Kaplan, well-known lecturer on Jewish topics, speaking at the weekly open forum conducted by the Jewish Centre, 667 Eastern Parkway, last night. His topic was "Spiritual Self-Adjustment of the Jew."In a discourse that was enthusiastically received Prof. Kaplan outlined in an interesting manner the trials of Jewish educators in this country."In this land of promise," he said, "with every opportunity. and freedom, educators find it hard to attract Jewish youth to their religion because reformers and theorists have eliminated everything that would attract the young mind. Instead they have substituted modern versions of the Bible which acts upon the young mind not as an incentive to study religion but as a poison.""Judaism is not a religion," he continued. "It is the art of living according to the norms and ethical laws extolled by our fathers. Jews claim that It is hard for them to practice their religion due to their activities of anti-semitism, but I think they arc mistaken. The anti-Semites are not at fault. The Jews are at fault; they are trying to enter Gentile clubs, and they are trying to become members of the Y. M. C. A. That is the reason why so much propaganda is aimed at them, for poaching on other people's property and pleasures."If they cannot participate in foreign activities without losing their consciousness of being Jews, let them stop attending these clubs."Jews are losing their individuality trying to modernize themselves to extreme degrees. They do not realize that their individuality and sectionalism is one of the factors that keeps the great multitude in the ranks, and when the modern theorists minimize this, the Jewish youth drifts away, to the new-fangled religions, searching for some thing that will interest them in life, instead of finding it in our own religion as our forefathers did."Let us not become too worldly in our faith. It is only when we cheapen our religion, nationalism, and customs, that we lose faith in them and they are of no more value to us than something that will take up our time on the Sabbath and holidays."Ending his address, he urged that the new schools being built should not be devoted only to gymnasiums and clubrooms but also have them include a "syllabus for the instruction of our language, customs, and faith."

“Our kids need to know about the founding. They need to know this country was founded on Judeo-Christian values.”“What we have to have is true history taught in schools. Our kids need to know about the founding. They need to know this country was founded on Judeo-Christian values. They need to know about the Constitution. They need to be inspired by heroes like George Washington,” Walters said.At an Oct. 25 debate, Walters said: “We have to continue to stay vigilant as the far left has decided that they’re going to launch a war for our kids’ minds and convince our young people that they are racist. They’re going to inject this division into the classroom. They’re going to inject this hatred of the Constitution and the values this country was founded on.”
The Norman Transcript reported that Walters wants to install a “God-based history curriculum” in the state’s schools, one that will highlight the role God played in the founding of America.

For years , the Israeli authorities have not stopped erecting what the Palestinians call “mock tombs” for settlers in the vicinity of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, as a means to confiscate the lands built over them on the grounds that they are old cemeteries , according to the residents of the area.The Palestinians say that "creating fake graves is a way to confiscate the land, because it is not legal to object to that."These "fake graves" are concentrated in the town of Silwan, which is adjacent to the southern wall of Al-Aqsa Mosque, especially in the neighborhoods of Wadi Al-Rababa and Wadi Hilweh in the town that the settlement associations are working to Judaize and expel the Palestinians from.Witnesses said that "the Israeli authorities are working to create a hole 35 cm deep with a diameter of 40 cm, then pour cement over it, and an old stone is placed on top of it, surrounded by old dirt to suggest that the graves are hundreds of years old ."The witnesses added that the Israeli authorities are currently working on creating hundreds of fake graves in the Wadi al-Rababa area in the town of Silwan.However, an Israeli official in the Ministry of Jerusalem said that erecting these graves comes to "preserve the old grave [markers] that were removed by torrential rains and the ravages of time, or by Palestinians."
They've made this claim before, and once even put it in a draft UNESCO resolution.
The entire area served for burials over thousands of years.The area contains many tombs excavated into the rocks, where dozens of people were buried over different periods. Burial styles and other findings allow us to date the earliest ones to the end of the Judean Kingdom (7-8th Century BCE), and show continuous burials up to the Byzantine period (4-7th Centuries CE). Along the road that runs from Abu Tur to the valley one can see a number of graves from the Judean kingdom. Additional graves from that period are found in privately-owned land belonging to residents of Abu-Tur.In the course of digging in the Valley of Hinnom Shoulder/Ras a-Dabus, where the Begin Center is currently located, archaeologists unearthed a silver scroll dated to the 7th Century BCE with an inscription of a section from the Priestly Blessing, a prayer which was familiar in biblical times and is still recited in synagogues to this day. This is a rare and unique find that testifies to the continuity of prayer traditions over thousands of years.A set of excavated family tombs dated to the First Century CE are located near the [Onuphrius] convent. These are luxury tombs composed of several rooms with carved burial niches. These structures and the ossuaries (sand-stone chests) within them are evidence of a burial style practiced by Jerusalem area Jews at the time of the Second Temple. Inscriptions found on some of the tombs and the ossuaries support this claim. The tombs’ wealth and their presence on this slope testify to the centrality of Jerusalem and of the temple. Pilgrims from throughout the ancient world made their way to Jerusalem, and the rich among them invested a great deal of money to purchase burial grounds and build opulent family graves.[3] The graves served these families over several generations. Inscriptions found on some of the graves include names that appear to belong to families originating outside Jerusalem, such as the cave of the Ariston family, which was based in Apamea, Syria.

By Tomer Ilan
Recently, there’s a
wave of demands from Palestinian Arabs to the United Kingdom to apologize for
alleged abuses during the British Mandate period.
Munib al-Masri, a rich
Palestinian businessman submitted a dossier of evidence alleging abuses by the British between 1917 and 1948. Masri is
planning to present the file to the UK government later this year and is
reportedly demanding a formal acknowledgement and apology.
Separately, a Palestinian Arab is seeking
an apology from the Royal Ulster
Rifles for a 1938 incident in
Mandatory Palestine in which he alleged the British troops forced civilians to
drive over a landmine after a roadside bomb placed by Arabs killed two British
troops.
The Jews have a right
to demand an apology from Britain as well.
The Jews deserve an
apology from the British for systematically discriminating against the Jews, in
terms of official policy against Jewish immigration and Jewish land purchase
and settlement in contradiction to international law, namely the Mandate of
Palestine. The British government was also deeply involved in the illegal Arab
invasion of Israel in the 1948 war.
The first major
anti-Jewish move by the British government came in 1922, when The League of
Nations, at Britain’s request, modified the mandate by withdrawing Transjordan from the area intended to provide a national
home for the Jews. With a stroke of a pen, the Jews lost 78% of the national
home promised to them by Britain and the League of Nations.
Then, as a response to
Arab violence, including the 1920 Nebi Musa riots and the 1921 Jaffa riots,
Britain published a series of White Papers with new anti-Jewish policies that
contradicted the legally-binding League of Nations Mandate for Palestine that
Britain was supposed to follow.
The Mandate resolution (Article 6) requires Britain to “facilitate
Jewish immigration under suitable conditions and encourage, in co-operation
with the Jewish agency referred to in Article 4, close settlement by Jews on
the land, including State lands and waste lands not required for public
purposes”. The Mandate states that this shall be done “while ensuring
that the rights and position of other sections of the population are not prejudiced”.
However, in a series
of White Papers published between 1922 and 1939, the British Administration restricted
Jewish immigration and settlement rather than “facilitate” and “encourage” it
as required in the Mandate resolution.
Initially, the 1922
White Paper vaguely stated that Britain would limit future immigration to
"the economic capacity of the country". The 1930 White Paper called
for stricter controls to be placed on Jewish immigration and land purchase.
The worst White Paper
was published in 1939, on the eve of World War 2, with millions of Jews trying
to escape from the Nazi threat in Europe, the paper severely limited
Jewish immigration to just 15,000 a year for 5 years and made subsequent
immigration to require Arab
approval. Jewish purchase of land from Arabs was forbidden in 95% of
Palestine.
In effect, the White
Paper prevented the escape of millions of Jews from Europe before and during
WW2. Six million of those Jews were murdered by the Nazis in the Holocaust. If
the British had not imposed the 1939 White Paper immigration restrictions, many
of those Jews could have been saved.
The McDonald White Paper of 1939 was explicitly racist and openly discriminated
against Jews. Jewish immigration was severely restricted, while Arab
immigration was not. Jewish land purchase was forbidden in 95% of the land,
while Arab land purchase was allowed in 100% of it. The language of the White
Paper was explicit and racist: “Transfer of land save to a Palestinian Arab
prohibited” (see map).
In today’s terms, it
would be called an “apartheid” White Paper. Anti-Jewish apartheid.
British Land transfer Regulations
of 1940 based on the
White Paper of 1939
Starting from 1939,
the British Authorities also restricted Jewish settlement on Jewish-owned land
in direct contradiction to the Mandate resolution requiring them to “encourage
close settlement by Jews on the land”. The Jews, however, found a way to
establish new settlements anyway, the famous “Tower and Stockade”
method.
In the 1948 War of
Independence, Britain was deeply involved in favor of the Arab side. The Arab
Army of Transjordan, more commonly known as the Arab Legion, was financed by
Britain and commanded by British officers. The Legion was armed, trained and
commanded by British officers and was considered the most effective Arab force
in the 1948 war.
The British-backed
Arab Legion illegally invaded Palestine in 1948 and helped Jordan illegally
occupy eastern Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria between 1948 and 1967.
In 1948, Britain had
dominant influence over Egypt, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon as well. Those countries
would not invade Palestine to fight the Jews, without British involvement.
This is confirmed by Dr. Ezra Nishry’s research. His 2016 doctoral thesis (English Abstract – p. 510) based mainly on the documents of the British National Archives (as well as Israeli and American documents and previous research literature) confirms that the British organized, armed and pushed the Arab countries to invade Israel in the War of Independence.
Nishry shows that the
British government used covert action and pushed for the Arab invasion that was
actually carried out on May 15, 1948. According to British sources quoted in
the research, the senior British leadership in London determined the end date
for the evacuation of the British forces from Palestine, brought it forward,
and returned to the original date according to the changing needs of the
invasion plans which changed according to the circumstances on the ground. There
was a direct connection between planning the timing of the Arab invasion and
planning the timing of the British evacuation.
His findings were published in a book “The British Trojan horse in the Israeli War of liberation : 1947-1948”.
In many cases during
the 1948 war, the British troops themselves helped the Arabs.
One of the worst
incidents was at Radar Hill (near Jerusalem) on 23 April 1948. A Jewish force
who tried to evacuate wounded Jewish troops in the Many Jewish fighters were
killed and wounded in the Nebi Samuel battle, encountered British fire from
Radar Hill which killed and wounded a number of Jews. The wounded Jews were
collected by the British and handed over to the Arabs who murdered them.
A sign at Radar Hill mentions the battle on 23 April 1948 in which British troops handed wounded Jewish troops to the Arabs who murdered them.
Another example of British involvement against the Jews was in the Etzion Bloc. On 4 May 1948, the Arab Legion aided by the British and by a large number of local Arabs launched a major attack on the Etzion Bloc in which 12 Jewish defenders were killed. A few days later, the Kfar Etzion Massacre was committed and the Bloc was ethnically cleansed from Jews until it was resettled in 1967.
Great Britain should
apologize to the Jews for:
These British policies and actions went against their commitment to the League of Nations and against the Mandate for Palestine, i.e. against international law.
The British have more
reasons to apologize to the Jews than they do to the Arabs.
