Genesis 1948; the first Arab-Israeli war
Dan Kurzman - 1970 - 750 pages - Page 48
The Arabs launched their first big operation against the Jews in January 14 [1948], when about Arab villagers shouting "Jihad! Jihad!" ("Holy War! Holy War!") stormed the Etzion Bloc of settlements perched atop the rolling Hebron hills. ... Jewish settlement in the region was liquidated by the Crusaders in 1,100, but was resumed in the early thirteenth century to continue uninterrupted for over 700 years. Then, in 1929, an Arab massacre of

Jews in Hebron ended all Jewish Jewish settlement in the area once more — for six years.

Whose Jerusalem?
Eliyahu Tal - 1994 - 318 pages - Page 70
In 1947, after the UN Resolution for the partition of Palestine, the Muslim spiritual leader of al-Azhar University in Cairo issued a fatwa (religious ruling) that called for a "Jihad to save Palestine and to defend the al-Aqsa mosque." In August 1980, Crown Prince Fahd of Saudi Arabia (now King Fahd) issued the following call to Jihad...

Sometimes, the mosque was also used to start trouble elsewhere. The massacre of the Jews of Hebron in August 1929 started with leaflets handed to the Muslims while leaving the mosques after Friday prayers... shrine into a center of unholy activity: political intrigue and violence were hatched there, as were the bloody anti-Jewish riots of 1920, 1929 and 1936. Inside the Temple Mount enclosure, fanatical preachers incited the masses who then went on the rampage with shouts of "Allahu akbar" (Allah is great) mingled with "Idbah al Yahud" (Slaughter the Jews).

MIDDLE EAST: Jihad for Jerusalem
By DAVID AIKMAN; Marguerite Johnson; William Stewart Monday, Aug. 25, 1980
Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Fahd last week in the most ominous Arab response so far to the July resolution by the Israeli Knesset that declared undivided Jerusalem to be the country's eternal capital. The Saudi prince went on to call on all Arab countries to unite in a jihad (holy war) to liberate Israeli-occupied Arab territory and establish a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
