I am now completing the writing of this journal, which I started collecting information several days ago.
Mona has been in pain for a while,… severe pains in the lower back, and in Al-Ala near the neck area..!
We were visiting the specialist Dr. Fayez Eyasra last Wednesday,.. He saw that she needed to be injected with a needle into the spine to treat the pain she is suffering from,..
And here I am now with Sky, in one of the daily case rooms on the third floor of the Saudi hospital, we are waiting for her to leave after completing the medical procedure..!
Two days ago, I woke her up from a deep sleep..! I noticed while I was sleeping in bed that Mona didn’t make any sound while she was sleeping,.. I’m worried about that,.. I woke her up to reassure her,.. So I woke up,.. Reassure me that, I told her then, now continue your sleep and go back to sleep..!
Mona, companion, and friend, beloved.. And the delicate…!
How much I love this person..!
Let us now return again to the “Report of the English-American Commission of Inquiry on the Problems of the Jews of Europe and Palestine” issued by the Committee on April 20, 1946
As I mentioned earlier, chapter VII of the report is entitled:
“Christian Interests in Palestine,”
As a further reminder, the importance of this report stems in the fact that it is the report submitted by the Commission of Inquiry to the English and American governments in order to crystallize the policy of the two governments with regard to Palestine in the era immediately after the end of the Second World War and the suspension of the activities of the war in Europe on May 8, 1945. The two governments have chosen to crystallize their policies on a Palestinian from a specific angle, specifically from the angle of solving the “problems of the Jews of Europe and Palestine” after the end of the war. Not the problems of Palestine and the people of Palestine.
Therefore, after the end of the war, these two governments did not see in their eyes only “the problems of the Jews of Europe and Palestine”, and decided, the two countries that emerged from the universal war victorious, to carry out the sole mission of solving these “problems” exclusively, and in any way, even if it is at the expense of creating problems, all problems for another people,. They deliberately chose to sacrifice the national and human rights of the Palestinian Arab people, and to trample on the rules of international law and all the principles of justice in order to achieve (justice..!) Only for the right of the Jews of their European countries who were subjected to the worst types of persecution by the fascist and Nazi European governments, especially during the years of the Second Universal War, and worse than all, their exploitation (i.e., the plight of these two governments) of Jewish victims from the citizens of their (European) countries, and pushing them to get rid of them by facilitating their displacement from their countries in Europe towards Palestine and creating conditions for them in Palestine to commit the most heinous crimes against the Palestinian Arab people, whom the British and American governments chose the country of this afflicted Palestinian Arab people to be a refuge for these..!
Before presenting what the committee reported in its report, I saw that I asked “Chat GPT” about the names of the committee members, and the following answer came to me:
The beginning of the quotation:
Members of the Anglo-American Committee themselves
The committee consisted of 12 members: 6 Americans and 6 British.
American members
Joseph Hutchson
Frank Edelot
William Philips
James MacDonald
Bartley Crom
Frank Buxton
British Members
John Singleton
Richard Crossman
Lord Morrison
Frederick Ligtt
Reginald Manningham-Buller
Wilfred Crick”
End of quotation:
Then I came back to ask;
Were the members of the committee Jews among them? Sympathize with the Zionist movement..?
And I have an explicit pod, it was as follows:
The beginning of the quotation
“Yes, among the members were American and British figures who were known for their obvious sympathy for the Zionist movement, but not all of them were Jews in religious or national terms.
The most prominent of those known for strong Zionist tendencies:
James MacDonald
Bartley Crom
Richard Crossman
But the committee itself was not formally formed on a religious basis, and not all of its members were Jews. Some Arab and Palestinian studies considered that a number of members entered the committee carrying inclinations in support of the Zionist project in advance.”
End of quotation
I must also mention before entering in the paragraphs of chapter seven important information that will help in understanding the dimensions and meanings of what is stated in the paragraphs of this chapter.
The estimates for the population of Palestine in 1516, i.e. in the year in which the Ottomans took control of Palestine, according to information from Chat GBT, ranging from between (250,000 and 300,000) people, including (4,000 to 6,000) Palestinian Jews, and between 20,000 and 30,000) Palestinian Christians, as well as between (220,000 and 265,000) Palestinian Muslim, and most of these were Arabs, while most of the Jews in Palestine were received by the Jews of Granada and Andalusia after their displacement in 1492 and from Portugal in 1497. That is, the number of Palestinian Jews in 1516 did not exceed 1% to 2% of the total population of Palestine.
In 1880, that is, before the Ottoman authorities allowed the migration of Jews from the country of the Russian Tsarist Empire to Palestine, the approximate population of Palestine rose to (485,000) people, including (25,000) Palestinian Jews, (45,000) Palestinian Christians and (415,000) Palestinian Muslims. That is, the number of Palestinian Jews in 1880 did not exceed (5%) of the total population of Palestine, Arabs (Muslims and Christians) and other ethnicities (Druze, Turks, Bishnak, Jews, ..).
In 1918, in the year in which the Allied powers (Britain, France and Russia) defeated the central countries (Germany, the Austro-Hungary Empire and the Ottoman Empire) in World War I, and Britain’s success in occupying all of Palestine in the same year, the population of Palestine rose to approximately (640,000) including (60,000) Palestinian Jews, (65,000) Palestinian Christian (about 10.15% of the total population of Palestine) and (515,000) Palestinian Muslims, that is, the number of Palestinian Jews in 1516 did not exceed (9.37%) of the total population of Palestine -: Arab Muslims and Christians, and other ethnic women (Druze, Turks, Armenians , Bashnaq, Jews …)-
It is worth mentioning in this regard that the tangible rise in the number of Jews in Palestine between 1880 and 1918 (from 5% to 8.37%) was mainly due to the permit of the Ottoman authorities during this period the migration of thousands of Russian Jews and a number of Eastern European countries to Palestine following the massacres that broke out against the Jews in Russia, especially after the assassination of Tsar Alexander II in 1881 and the discovery of the participation of Russian Jewish citizens in the assassination, as well as after the revolution of 1905 in Russia and the subsequent disturbances and waves of violence that in turn led to an increase in Jewish migration from Russia to the countries of the world, including Palestine. .
As for the number of Jews in Palestine in 1946, i.e. in the year during which the committee issued its report, it reached (608,000) Jews out of the total population of Palestine at that time, which was (1,829,000), or (33,24%). It is worth mentioning in this regard that the number of Jews in Palestine exceeded this year the number of Palestinian Arab Christians, whose numbers this year were about (145,000) people, or (7.9%) of the total population of Palestine.
The decline in the percentage of Palestinian Arab Christians in Palestine between 1918 and 1946 is due to the huge growth in the number of Jews in Palestine as a result of the adoption by the occupation authorities / British Mandate in Palestine of the policy of encouraging the migration of Jews to Palestine, as well as to the policies of extification and persecution of Christian Palestinians (and Muslims also and other ethnic minorities) that were pursued in Palestine during the era of occupation / British Mandate of Palestine (between 1918 and 1948).
Regarding what the committee called “Christian interests in Palestine”, the following five paragraphs were mentioned in the committee’s report:
The beginning of the quotation
- In addition to the witnesses who deal with political issues in particular, the committee listened to representatives of the Christian churches. Arab Christians, from various sects, numbering 125,000 people, make up the majority of Christians who reside in Palestine. Their delegation, headed by the Archbishop of the Roman Catholic in the Diocese of Galilee, declared their full solidarity with Arab Muslims in demanding an independent Arab state. As for non-Palestinian Christian groups, they were unable to express their opinion with one voice. In truth, Christians have failed to reach unity, and even in harmony among themselves, to carry out the practical tasks of managing the Christian holy places and taking care of the pilgrims who support them, to the extent that the keys of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre are still in the custody of Muslims. The absence of a single person in Palestine who speaks in the name of Christianity, which is an unfortunate fact, would cast a mask on the legitimate Christian interests in the Holy Land, interests that must be preserved in any solution developed for the national problem. These interests require not only free access to holy places, but also the establishment of security in countries that are all holy land from the Christian point of view.
End of quotation
In the above paragraph, the Committee’s denunciative position is noted in what it considered the survival of “the keys of the Church of the Holy Sepulch are still in the custody of Muslims” without realizing the reality of organic ties and deep cohesion between the citizens of Palestine of all boredom and ethnicities, especially between Christians and Arab Muslims, the sons of Arab Palestine.
The beginning of the quotation
“2. No matter how much we are in explaining the excellent status that Palestine has enjoyed since the emergence of history, in the prosperity of civilization and civilization, as well as its importance in archaeological and historical interests, which may not be ignored and forgotten. Establishing conditions in which such archaeological and historical studies can be conducted is one of the matters that civilization is of true attention. In addition, the increase in the movement of pilgrims and tourism involves large invisible exports to the country in which the trade balance is so uneven, and communication in Palestine between these visitors who come from the Western world and representatives of the Jewish and Islamic sects will be of great importance for international understanding.
It is also noted that the British and American governments sought by opening the doors of Palestine after Britain’s occupation of Palestine and the defeat of the Ottoman Empire after the end of World War I in October 1918, to migrate Jews from citizens of European countries and countries of the world, to transform Palestinian Arab citizens, Muslims and Christians to minorities in their country. Indeed, although the Palestinian Arabs are Christians, Muslims and Jews during the era of Ottoman rule, they were majorities in Palestine and remained together and constituted the majority at the time of the Committee’s visit to Palestine, but the Committee, when drafting its report, deliberately presented the Jews to the majority of the population of Palestine, Muslims and Arab Christians, with the intention of stating that the purpose of the work of the melody of the investigation is to focus on solving the problems of the Jews in Europe and Palestine without giving any consideration to the rights of the majority of the population of Palestine, and to the problems caused by the migration of Jews to Palestine for them.
The beginning of the quotation
“3-The extent of the spread of the holy places, which Christians, Muslims and Jews see with reverence and sanctity, in the length and breadth of the country, is often invaluable, and it is impossible to isolate the holy places, for the three great religions, in geographical units independent of each other. These places are scattered throughout Palestine, and are not, as some imagine, confined to the areas of Jerusalem and Nazareth.”
“4- General Allenby sensed in expressing the burden that the Christian world bears towards Palestine, in a publication on his radio on the occasion of the occupation of Jerusalem on the eleventh day of December 1917, where he said:
“In addition to the above, since your city was the subject of reverence to the followers of the three great religions of man, and since its soil was enshrined by the prayers and arguments of the pious crowds of the pious and pious followers of these three religions, who visited it many generations ago, so I declare to you that every sacred building, monument, or holy spot, shrine, or traditional site, or endowment, or gift suspended on the faces of righteousness, or a place in which it is customary to establish rituals of worship, whatever its type, for the three religions, will be preserved and protected according to the custom and beliefs of those who sanctify it.”
End of quotation
In the fifth paragraph, the goal that the committee sought to promote is clearly shown. Palestine, in its view, should not be an Arab country in which Muslims, Christians, Jews and other ethnic citizens live with the rights of equal citizenship, but it must be a country devoid of its Arab identity, and the Arab identity of Palestine was considered something that provokes rivalries and inappropriate. As for the positive aspect in this paragraph of the report, it is what I mentioned regarding not considering it also suitable for Palestine to turn into a place or state in which the national wishes of the Jews alone are met, the paragraph says:
The beginning of the quotation
“5- The religious importance of Palestine for Muslims, Jews, and Christians alike, makes it inappropriate to treat it as an Arab state, or as a country intended in particular to achieve the national aspirations of the Jews. The solution to the problem of Palestine must not only eliminate the political rivalries between Jews and Arabs, but also preserve the unique religious values of this country.”
The quote is over.
With these paragraphs, the Committee completed chapter VII of its report. As for the eighth chapter, entitled “Jews, Arabs and the government”, I will begin to deal with its contents in the coming diaries.
