Its purpose was to educate American Christian leaders about the post-Holocaust need for a Jewish state to publicize the new states' accomplishments to fight anti-Semitism and to support the country's existence. Over 20000 Christian leaders mostly Protestants were members. The ACPC sponsored seminars published educational materials created a speaker's bureau and conducted study tours taking religious leaders and journalists to Israel and adjoining Arab lands.</p><p>This scrapbook documents a trip from March 31 - April 28 1951. Its goals include making a "comprehensive study of Arab-Israel problems" including finding "suggested solutions for the resettlement of these tragic victims of the Arab-Israel War of 1948." The tour visited Israel Jordan and Lebanon and was the first ACPC group to visit to Palestinian refugee camps.</p><p>The group met Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion; Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan Foreign Minister Achmed Tooqan; Rabbi Jaacov Herzog son of the Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem; and American Ambassador to Israel Monnet Davis as well as other government and university officials and mayors. Early items in the scrapbook are typed copies of their itinerary including stops in Beyrouth Beirut Jerusalem Tel Aviv Haifa and Nazareth; a list of participants with their affiliations; and memoranda. It also includes airline tickets postcards hotel reservations including the King David Hotel and ephemera. Of particular interest is a printed pamphlet with basic information about the Knesset that includes Fry's notes of the group's meeting with Ben-Gurion 1886-1973. After about two weeks in the Middle East Fry also briefly visited Rome Paris and London. He used his notes for an article in the Philadelphia <i>Evening Bulletin</i>.</p><p>The scrapbook collects printed ephemera that illustrate Israel presented itself including a large color "tourist guide map" of Tel-Aviv 13½ x 9½ in. a 24- x 17-inch folding color "motor map" of Israel laid in with their route highlighted in red and with tourist information on each city on the verso; and a small program for a production of "Carmen" by the Hebrew National Opera.

Fry "People of Israel and Neighboring Nations Hope for Peace Despite Border Quarrels" <i>Evening Bulletin </i> Philadelphia April 22 1951</p><p>"<i>In Jerusalem—which means City of Peace—there is much talk of peace. In the Arab countries of Lebanon and Jordan there is more talk of co-operation than of hate. It may be a hopeful index. But no one agrees as to where it will start…</i> <i>if you look carefully there is the desire for peace down at the grass roots among Arabs living as displaced persons in caves and tents and among Israelis living under an austere program.</i>"</p><p>Harrison W. Fry "Ben-Gurion Wants U.S. Help to Bring Peace in Near East" <i>Evening Bulletin</i> Philadelphia April 25 1951</p><p>"<i>Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion of Israel would welcome the good offices of the United States in establishing peace in the Near East. Israel and the Arab states are now operating under an uneasy armistice with frequent border incidents</i>… <i>The shaggy white-haired leader of the modern miracle that is the State of Israel interrupted conferences in connection with the meeting of the Knesset Israel's Parliament now in session to greet the members of the American Christian Palestine Committee study group of which the writer is a member. With all the frankness of a long-time friend he talked of Israel's plans and problems and answered questions with a refreshing frankness free of diplomatic double talk.</i>"</p><p>Harrison W.

Today the valley is a Garden of Eden of fragrant orange citrus and olive groves and garden crops—a delight to the eyes after days of traveling in the eroded dust-storm swept Arab lands to the east of Israel… In the Hula Lake section north of the Sea of Galilee and Capernaum where Christ performed his miracles the Jews are today performing modern miracles by reclaiming further swamp areas.</i>"</p><p>Harrison W. Fry "Debris of Intolerance Bears Fruit of Freedom in Israel" <i>Evening Bulletin</i> Philadelphia May 2 1951</p><p>"<i>In a cave on Mt. Zion ancient citadel of Jerusalem are the ashes of thousands of Jewish martyrs to Nazi intolerance—a symbol of 6000000 who so perished. About them are the sacred scrolls desecrated by the Nazis. One of these had been made into a house coat by a Nazi who apparently did not read Hebrew because it bears on its back the warning that the Lord will wreak vengeance upon those who persecute his people… Atop a tower on this hill which borders no-man's land in the uneasy truce with the Arab kingdom of Jordan an Israeli soldier keeps vigil above these shrines that appeal for peace and tolerance. The Jews have put the terrible evidence of intolerance underground and are building a new tomorrow. They want to talk of peace in the Near East the whole refugee problem including the Arabs.</i>"</p><p>Carl Herman Voss to Members of ACPC Study Tour May 11 1951</p><p>"<i>I want to express appreciation for the cooperative spirit all of you manifested on the Tour.

He commanded the Egyptian Expeditionary Force EEF then part of the British army against the Ottoman Empire in the conquest of Palestine in 1917-1918. The EEF succeeded in capturing Beersheba Jaffa and Jerusalem in late 1917 as well as the Jordan valley and Northern Palestine in 1918. The present work is a translation of Allenby's reports which cover the period between December 1917 when the British entered Jerusalem and September 1918 when General Allenby started a new campaign resulting in the capture of Damascus and Aleppo. The report begins with operations to make Jaffa and Jerusalem safe against Turkish counterattacks and continues with Allenby's succesful attacks on Jericho the Jordan Valley and As-Salt. The EEF won numerous other battles in the region before the Armistice of Mudros ended the campaign in October 1918. Allenby then became the High Commisioner in Egypt and Sudan from 1919-1925.With an inscription on the title page and on the back wrapper.

Notre-Dame de France est une vaste et puissante bâtisse dont la construction organisée par les Assomptionistes débute à la fin du XIXe siècle. Située sur une des collines qui domine Jérusalem elle témoigne d'une grandeur passée où elle accueillit et protégea les pèlerins de passage dans la Ville sainte. L'édifice fut également considéré comme un institut scientifique: les Assomptionistes disposèrent rapidement d'une imprimerie et d'une grande bibliothèque et contribuèrent à immortaliser la Palestine et Jérusalem en se livrant à des travaux photographiques voir Dominique Trimbur « Une présence française en Palestine - Notre-Dame de France » in Bulletin du Centre de recherche français de Jérusalem 1998.

Beautiful album with 128 photographs of Egypt and Palestine present day Israel and the West Bank during the British Mandate. It was likely compiled by a British soldier who was stationed in the Middle East during the 1940s. Some of the photographs are numbered in the negative and may have been made by important photographers active in the area at the time like G. Eric Matson and his wife Edith the founders of the Matson Photo Service. The images show Cairo and various locations in Palestine including Jerusalem Bethlehem Nazareth Tiberias Sea of Galilee Nathanya Tel Aviv the Jordan river Haifa Beirut and the Dead Sea.

The eucalyptus leaf still retains some of its scent.The edges and vorners of the boards are somewhat scuffed with some loss of material at the head and foot of the spine and around the edges of the embedded aluminium plate.

1971ABC_47952Beirut: Palestine National Liberation Movement 1971. 42 x 29 cm. Folded. Numerous black-and-white photographic illustrations. Rare and remarkable periodical published by the Palestine National Liberation Movement or Fatah. This was a revolutionary group and later a political party founded in 1957 by Yasser Arafat 1929-2004 Khalil al-Wazir 1935-1988 and 3 or 4 others. The movement published numerous periodicals and pamphlets between 1968-1972 but Fateh is the most important one. Originally published in Arabic it was also issued in English from 1969 bi-weekly in French from 1970 monthly and in Italian from 1971 bi-weekly. We have not been able to find any other English issues of this periodical for sale anywhere else.The name of the group Fatah is an acronym in reverse for "Harakat al-Tahrir al-Watani al-Filastini" the Arabic translation of "Palestine National Liberation Movement". The intention of the founders was to create an organisation that was independent of governments and political parties with the goal to liberate Palestine through low-intensity guerilla warfare. It was part of several armed fights with Israeli and Jordan forces during the 1960s and 70s. Fatah modelled itself after the revolutionary groups of Algeria Vietnam and Cuba. On page 9 of the present issue of Fateh a large photo has been printed of a group of protesters holding signs with the images of the leaders of these revolutions which is a clear message to the reader.The present issue of Fateh contains numerous articles with news from or about Palestine and the movement. It was printed a few months after Black September the bloody clash between Fatah and the Jordanian army in 1970 during which thousands of Palestines were either killed or expelled from Jordan. The first few pages of the periodical are dedicated to this event and other clashes between the two groups that resulted from it. Other articles discuss a 10-hour battle near Tel Aviv the relationship between America and Israel and injustices against Palestinians. Of particular interest are the three powerful full-page illustrations. They were designed in 1970 and issued separately as posters. The first image of a rifle with an olive branch was designed by Natheer Naba'a who is only known for his posters for Fateh. The second image called "stolen smile" shows a photo of a group of determined children and was designed by Jassem el Zubeidy who is only known for this design. The last image is an illustration of a Palestinian woman with a moving text about Palestine designed by Palestinian artist Kamal Boullata 1942-2019.The periodical is somewhat browned and inkstained and the edges are slightly frayed. Otherwise in good condition.l The English language Fateh periodical is present in ca. 30 libraries worldwide not all possess all volumes issued 1969-1971 see WorldCat 1568957 145144012 72895793 1036673977 924471377 898713265; cf.

With two folding maps showing parts of the Palestine territory that had been surveyed in detail. Detailed report to the Mandates Commission of the League of Nations regarding the British controlled Mandate of Palestine. After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire after World War I the Empires territories in the Middle East were divided between Great-Britain and France with the exception of the newly created Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and ruled as mandates on behalf of the League of Nations.
