The OLDER Official Discussion Thread for the creation of Israel, the UN and the British Mandate

[Sixties Fan]

Palestinian Arabs didn't like the idea that the "E.Y." were on the stamps. They countered that they wanted their own national name on the stamps as well in Arabic if the Jews were allowed to place the "E.Y" after their name.

And the name they wanted to print was not "Palestine."

They wanted the stamps to say ""Suria El Jenobia" -Southern Syria!

This was all recorded in the Palestine Bulletin of October 13, 1925.

On July 22, 1946, the Irgun resistance organization blew up a section of the King David Hotel, killing 91 British, Arabs and Jews. The Library of Congress - Matson collection includes several pictures of the bombing's aftermath.


Those photographs pretty much marked the end of the Matson Photo Service's 65 years in Jerusalem. According to the Library, "In 1946, in the face of increasing violence in Palestine, the Matsons left Jerusalem for Southern California."


King David Hotel 1946
The attack still raises the question of the involvement of the Jewish underground in terrorism.

The following appeared in Myths and Facts, 1989, written by the publisher of Israel Daily Picture.


The King David Hotel was the site of the British military command and the British Criminal Investigation Division. Two events led the Irgun commanders to choose the British military headquarters as a legitimate target. On June 29, 1946, British troops invaded the Jewish Agency in Jerusalem and confiscated large quantities of documents. Simultaneously, over 2,500 Jewish leaders from all over Palestine were placed under arrest. Not only were the documents of crucial importance to the Jewish liberation movement, but papers on Jewish agents in Arab countries were also confiscated, endangering vital intelligence activities. The information was taken to the King David Hotel.


King David Hotel 1946

One week later, Palestinian Jewish anger against the British and their blockade of Palestine grew. Word arrived of the massacre of 40 Jews in a pogrom in Poland; 40 Jews who might have been saved had the doors to Palestine been opened for the survivors of Hitler's concentration camps.
On July 22, the Irgun planted bombs in the basement of the hotel. Several calls were placed warning the British to evacuate. They refused. For decades the British denied that they had been warned. In 1979, however a member of the British parliament introduced evidence that the Irgun had indeed issued the warning. He offered the testimony of a British officer who heard other officers in the King David Hotel bar joking about a Zionist threat to the headquarters. The officer who overheard the conversation immediately left the hotel and survived.

ByJacob F Suslovichon September 5, 2017
Format: Paperback
This book has been fact checked. A history book should after all try to present facts with a reasonable degree of objectivity and fairness. There was indeed one statement in found in one document by a small splinter group opposing the Marshall Plan for Europe’s postwar reconstruction But that group was not named or identified and was certainly not the Jewish leadership or the Jewish Agency. This tactic is used by the author over and over again. If even one Zionist said or did anything negative, throughout the entire period 1917-1948, the author labels it as official mainstream Zionist policy. Actions by Jews are cited out of context. If A shoots and kills B that seems to be murder; but not if B is first trying to kill A. The author finds any possible act of violence of Jews and highlights it without describing the context. In short this book in neither objective or fair.
