What do General Allenby and T E Lawrence report of the population Israel during the first World War?.

Mark Twain:

“Stirring scenes ... occur in the valley [Jezreel] no more.

“There is not a solitary village throughout its whole extent-not for thirty miles in either direction. There are two or three small clusters of Bedouin tents, but not a single permanent habitation.

“One may ride ten miles hereabouts and not see ten human beings.”

I read the article - and the old photos of the Holy Land are certainly beautiful.

However, the article is amazingly racist and ignorant.

The French photographer has, in fact, photographed mosques. The biggest of them is the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. The article claims it is a ‘confiscated synagogue’ but that’s nonsense. The Temple was destroyed by the Romans and not rebuilt.

Yup. Al aqsa has been on the temple mount for a long time. It is The abomination that brings desolation.

I agree. There is something really powerful and strange about that site. The way that the Templars made it their church, during the Crusades, and then were later suppressed and wiped out by the Church themselves - very dark legends.

If they were not there, then where did they come from and how did it get so big in the course of fifty years or so?

They came mainly from Syria, I believe. And they got a big population because Syria wouldn't let them come home.

Still won't.

Once the mosque has been razed and the temple rebuilt then the mount will be a holy place again

There were about 1500 from Nabi Rubin who were expelled. Their descendants number more than 10,000 now.

They flocked in once the place started to become prosperous. The same thing happened in Algeria, after the French brought modernism and better agriculture, etc. (all the things Islam disparaged).

Most of today’s Gaza residents are Egyptians who were trying to flee back to Egypt in 1948 and were caught, and stuck, in the Gaza when Egypt wouldn’t let them back in.

Robert Kennedy’s 1948 Reports from Palestine I think the Jews made the land prosper and they hired Arab labor to come in.

Correct. Yasser Arafat himself was Egyptian-born.

Um, yeah.

That's why everyone else in the world wants to destroy it or claim it as theirs.

And those silly Jews, all they want to do is pray there. Go figure.
