a noncultivated wilderness,

and anyone can come there and buy as much land as his heart desires.

But in reality this is not the case.

the only areas which are not cultivated are sand dunes or stony mountains,

which can be only planted with trees,

and even this only after much labor and capital would be invested

in clearance and preparation...

We tend to believe abroad that all Arabs are desert barbarians,

an asinine people who does not see or understand what is going on around
them.

Israel

<http://lawrenceofcyberia.blogs.com/.a/6a00d834522bcd69e2010536d3c1c99...

will develop to such a degree that they will push aside the local population
by little or by much,

<http://lawrenceofcyberia.blogs.com/.a/6a00d834522bcd69e2010536d3c00b9...

then it will not easily give up its place...

<http://lawrenceofcyberia.blogs.com/.a/6a00d834522bcd69e2010536d3bc0e9...

One thing we certainly should have learned from our past and present
history,

<http://lawrenceofcyberia.blogs.com/.a/6a00d834522bcd69e2010536dd46489...

and that is not to create anger among the local population against us...

<http://lawrenceofcyberia.blogs.com/.a/6a00d834522bcd69e2010536dd4bbe9...

We have to treat the local population with love and respect, justly and
rightly.

<http://lawrenceofcyberia.blogs.com/.a/6a00d834522bcd69e2010536d454119...

And what do our brethren in the Land of Israel do? Exactly the opposite!

[T]hey behave toward the Arabs with hostility and cruelty,

Jaffa was the most advanced city in Palestine, and had approximately 70,000
Palestinian inhabitants. The U.N. assigned Jaffa to Arab Palestine in UNGAR
181 of 29 November 1947. But Jaffa was always going to be vulnerable to
Zionist attack as it was an Arab enclave surrounded by Jewish Palestine, and
abutted Tel Aviv, which contained the greatest concentration of Jewish
population anywhere in Palestine. In the last four months of British rule,
contemporary British Palestine Police and British Army records report the
following Zionist attacks on the citizens of Jaffa. I have excluded from the
list attacks against military targets:

1 JANUARY 1948 Lydda. 1200 hours, Jaffa. An explosion occurred in an Arab
owned block of flats in Suq El Yehud, near Manshieh Police Station. The
flats were completely demolished and slight damage was caused to the police
station. Mohammed Ahmed Ismail, aged 20 of Manshieh Quarter, was slightly
injured in the hand by glass splinters and was discharged after treatment.
An Arab has reported to police that earlier he had seen four Jews carrying a
barrel-shaped object. CO 537/3855

1 JANUARY 1948 During the afternoon of 1 January, a bunch of Irgun Z'vai
Leumi thugs dressed in battledress and steel helmets drove at speed through
Jaffa and fired at Arabs sitting outside a cafe. They killed two and wounded
nine others before crashing through an Arab road block and disappearing into
Tel Aviv. To emphasize the illusion that the British are responsible for all
disorder in the country, they were wearing the flashes of the Royal Irish
Fusiliers. WO 275/64

1 JANUARY 1948 Small party of Jews entered block of flats 40 yards in rear
Shell Petrol Station, Jaffa, and placed a bomb which demolished the block of
flats. So far, 1 Arab injured by flying debris. WO 275/64

4 JANUARY 1948 At 12:25 p.m. two Jewish terrorists, one driving a truck
loaded with time bombs and the other driving a jeep, both as usual in
British uniforms, drove to the end of a lane between the Arab welfare and
relief centre in Jaffa housing children and the Barclay's Bank. The truck
was driven in the lane and left there, and the driver was picked up by the
jeep driver who was waiting for him. As they drove away, the whole town was
rocked by a powerful explosion and many distant buildings were damaged by
the concussion. The welfare centre was demolished. Seventeen Arabs were
killed in this coldblooded murderous attack and 106 were wounded. Among
those killed and seriously wounded were women and children. (United Nations
Security Council Official Records, Supplements - 1948).

4 JANUARY 1948 Lydda. 1240 hours, Jaffa. The Old Serrai in Clock Tower
Square which houses the offices of the Arab National Committee, was
completely destroyed by an explosion which killed 15 and injured 98 persons.
Buildings nearby including Barclay's Bank, the Central Police Station and
several shops and houses were also extensively damaged. Full details of how
the attack was carried out are not yet available, but it is believed the
attackers arrived at the scene in two vehicles? a 3-ton truck laden with
orange boxes and a saloon car. Proceeding up Bustros Street towards Clock
Tower Square? the truck turned left into the narrow lane between Barclay's
Bank and the Old Serrai. The saloon car was seen to park some 20 metres
north of Central P.S. near the road leading to the port area. The truck was
parked at a point about 20 yards along the above mentioned lane. Two
persons, dressed as Arabs, were seen to alight from the truck and walk
across the square. They got into the waiting car which drove off in the
direction of the Ajami Quarter. Almost immediately following the departure
of the car, the explosion occurred. Tons of masonry from the Old Serrai
building completely blocked the land running beside it, A fire subsequently
broke out in Barclay's Bank but was extinguished. A strong-room situated in
the upper storey of the bank was blown in and a considerable amount of money
was salvaged and taken into police custody. The entire area was wired off to
facilitate salvage operations and to prevent looting. It is reported from
TeI Aviv that Irgun Z'vai Leumi have claimed responsibility for this
outrage. Tension has risen to a high pitch in Jaffa as a result of this
attack, and a certain degree of anti-Government feeling has been expressed.

Details of the casualties are as follows:- Dead: 1) Mohammed Abdul Hallak
(aged 12); 2) Abudul Sattah Wahab Jaber (20); 3) Ali Kastika; 4) Mohammed

CO 537/3875

Our brethren are right when they say that the Arab honours only those who
show valour and fortitude;

On 24 April 1948, the Irgun militant Zionist organization opened an attack
on the Manshiyeh residential quarter of Jaffa, a narrow Palestinian suburb
located beside the sea and largely surrounded by Tel Aviv. For four days and
nights, under the direction of Menachem Begin, the Irgun indiscriminately
shelled the quarter with mortars.

Hansard, the official record of proceedings in the U.K. Parliament,
reported:

"On the 5th of May, 1948, the question of the attack by the Irgun Z'vai
Leumi on Jaffa was raised. The Secretary of State for the Colonies was asked
whether he had any statement to make on the present situation in Jaffa. Mr.
Rees-Williams, the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies answered as
follows:

In the early hours of 28th [sic] April a heavy attack on the Arab town of
Jaffa was made by the Irgun Zvai Leumi, the method adopted being an
indiscriminate mortar bombardment, apparently designed to create panic among
the civilian inhabitants. British forces intervened, supported by aircraft,
and in the course of the afternoon the Jews retired to their original
positions. By nightfall the border was quiet except for occasional sniping.
A cease-fire was ordered for both sides by the military commander and was
observed. British troops then occupied a line between Arabs and Jews on the
Tel-Aviv- Jaffa border. On the evening of 30th April, the cease-fire order
was broken by fire from the Jewish side, which was quickly silenced by
military action. Latest reports indicate that the town is now quiet. As a
rough estimate, some 30,000 Arabs left Jaffa and more are leaving. The Arab
mayor is still in Jaffa and municipal services are functioning, although
with difficulty... ". (Hansard, House of Commons Debates, May 5, 1948, p.
1238).

The day after the Irgun offensive began, Haganah troops launched Operation
<http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/1998/1948/375_cmtz.htm>  Chametz against Jaffa,
to isolate and conquer the city.

<http://lawrenceofcyberia.blogs.com/.a/6a00d834522bcd69e20105370412589...

but this is the case only when he feels that the other side has justice on
his side.

<http://lawrenceofcyberia.blogs.com/.a/6a00d834522bcd69e201053703c0ed9...

It is very different in a case when [the Arab] thinks that his opponent's
actions are iniquitous and unlawful;

<http://lawrenceofcyberia.blogs.com/.a/6a00d834522bcd69e2010536fac1de9...

By the end of April, the combined Haganah-Irgun offensive had completely
encircled Jaffa. Three weeks earlier, the Irgun had attacked the Palestinian
village of Deir <http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/1998/1948/372_yass.htm>  Yassin
<http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/1998/1948/373_zgby.htm> . The civilian
population of Jaffa was well aware
<http://www.jerusalemquarterly.org/details.php?cat=1&id=113>  of what had
happened to the inhabitants of Deir Yassin when the Irgun overran their
village, and fear that the same would happen at the fall of Jaffa was
influential on the decision of many residents to flee:

"We all <http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/1998/375/pal2.htm>  heard about the
massacre. I remember that I read extensive coverage of the horrors in our
press, which republished a story from the New York Times. Besides this
terrifying news, the Arabs in Jaffa feared they would not be able to defend
their honour if they were attacked by the Jews. They were afraid that their
women would be subject to the humiliation of Deir Yassin. I was young, but I
sensed just how much this worried the people in Jaffa. Having four sisters
was enough reason for us to leave, as the Jews considered everything and
everyone in the villages they invaded as theirs".

in that case he may keep his anger to himself for a long time,

<http://lawrenceofcyberia.blogs.com/.a/6a00d834522bcd69e2010536dd480d9...

but it will dwell in his heart

<http://lawrenceofcyberia.blogs.com/.a/6a00d834522bcd69e2010536dd49ba9...

and in the long run he will prove himself to be vengeful and full of
retribution.

This so heartbreaking. When you don't know the history of a stolen land then
it 's an abstraction and not real. Looking at the photos brought tears to my
eyes. How unjust and painful. I also believe that the majority of Jewish
people don 't know the true history either. There have been demonstrations
in the US by Je wish organizations for peace against what is happening in
Gaza. For this reason please do not judge Jewish people by what the Israel
government is doing in their name. Their news media as well as the one in US
don't report the truth or omit it just as they must have done in that time.

arabic qur an) you may find what most people know about history. and
actualya like not all arabs are terrorists but all terrorists are arabs

ALL HUMAN BEINGS ARE TERRORISTS.

Get this one perfectly clear - a human being, when behaving civilized, does
so b ecause the world has seen to it that a civilized way of behaving is of
primary c oncern.

Now, clearly the TERRORISTS are those who get together in familial lineages
to b egin with and expanding this BRAND of selling the whole tribal
collectives the I DEA that this particular terrorist tribe is a god of
earth.

ISRAEL and the JEWS were used by the RULERS OF EARTH (i.e., kings, queens,
any/a ll "titles" of antiquity to crown the human traffic commodity with a
dignity of "civilized," changing the brand labels in modern times to
CORPORATIONS, FREE MAR KET CAPITALISM and but of course, THINK TANKS).

al-nabee is a racist, bigoted zionist shill who spends his days posting
comments on uruknet, spreading his zionist lies, disinformation, propaganda
and racist b igotry. He is probably paid off, since Israel has been known to
pay israeli nati onalists to swarm internet blogs with vile lies and
disinformation. Check the l ink below

Al-nabee---which is a pseudonym of course--is a piece of scum who relishes
in th e deaths of children. Despicable and vile that he is, full of self
loathing and contempt, the irony is that people like himself continue to
make isreal look bad . Keep it up, al-nabee.

Remember the land is called Palestine NOT Isis-ra-hell and has belonged to
the t hem since time immemorial.Jews have been expelled from most countries
and places in the world for a very good reason, they are pariahs and userers
and money cha ngers.Unfortunately with the help of the USA and UK amongst
others they have now become lethally and dangerously armed to the
teeth,paronoid and very very maliscious and violent.
they are also masters of propoganda-owning most of the world media.
They can be stopped however in both Palestine and Iran both on the streets
and a nd by sharing evidence of their atrocities ,so pass on all links
showing their w ar crimes and violence on a defenceless people.Please check
out link below and s hare.

I was really and truly moved when I viewed those old photos of old
Palestine, I was about 11 or 12 yrs. of age
when I used to visit my late uncle Anton who lived in Jaffa
with his wife Wadi'a, he owned a vatiety store in the Ajami District of
Jaffa, b ack in 1948 I was about 11 yrs.old, it was real fun to be there for
about a mont h or so, it saddened me deeply to think why the so called
Palestine British Mand ate Gov't. didn't partition Palestine before
returning to Britain, lnstead they ran out on the people of Palestine
leaving them to slaughter each other, I at the age of 18 knew it was nothing
but a preplanned conspiracy prearanged by the Anglo/American and no one
else, especially when they left all their Guns and arsenals supplies in Tel
Aviv and Haifa, I leave the rest to your intelligent understanding to figure
it out.

Allah has promised, to those among you who believe and work righteous deeds,
tha t He will, of a surety, grant them in the land, inheritance (of power),
as He gr anted it to those before them; that He will establish in authority
their Deen - the one which He has chosen for them; and that He will change
(their state), aft er the fear in which they (lived), to one of security and
peace: 'They will worship Me (alone) and not associate aught with Me. 'If
any do reject Faith after this, they are rebellious and wicked. (an-Noor:
55)

Khilafah will be given to those who have Iman and practice 'Amalus
Saalehaat4. M uslims are now in a state of fear. Allah 'Azza wa Jall is
promising us here that He will give us security. Allah 'Azza wa Jall has
promised this Ummah: Khilafah . And He has promised this Ummah: Amn5; and
that His Deen will be established. < br>

They do no fight you in person except in fortified villages or from behind
fortr esses. (al-Hashr: 14)

This fortress could be a castle or armour but the moment you take him out of
tha t cockpit, armour or trench, khalas, he is gone; and that's why Ibn al-
Qayyim ( rahimahullah) says, 'The bodies of the Sahabah were not larger than
their enemie s, their training was not more, their armour was not better,
their weapons were not more but the hearts of the enemy would fail them when
they need their hearts most.'
