1939184044London: His Majesty's Stationery Office 1939. I am empowered in the name of the Government of Great Britain to give the following assurances First edition representing the first official publication of the deeply contentious McMahon-Hussein correspondence which cast a shadow over the future of Palestine for decades. The British Government released the full letters during the St James's Palace Conference in response to mounting pressure over the precise wording of McMahon's commitments. Shortly after the release a committee was formed to examine the precise implications of the letters. It concluded that "His Majesty's Government were not free to dispose of Palestine without regard for the wishes and interests of the inhabitants of Palestine". British representatives on the committee maintained that Palestine was excluded from McMahon's commitments but agreed that "the language in which its exclusion was expressed was not so specific and unmistakable as it was thought to be at the time" p. 10.

1939N4584<p>London: Massada Press 1939 Second impression. Original Wrappers. Very Good. 8vo . 20pp . T<strong>HE JEWISH RESPONSE of the JEWISH AGENCY FOR PALESTINE to the British Government's publication of the " McMahon Letters "</strong> published earlier the same month March 16th 1939. <strong>The McMahon Letters include the correspondence between Sir Henry McMahon His Majesty's High Commissioner in Egypt and Hussein Sharif of Mecca between 1915 and 1916 and represent a series of letters that were exchanged during World War I in which the British government agreed to recognize Arab independence after the war in exchange for Hussein's launching the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire.</strong> These alleged promises to the Arab side given before the later BALFOUR DECLARATION OF 1917 were therefore considered by the supporters of the JEWISH CAUSE as being without legal validity. <strong>THIS VERY RARE PUBLICATION includes among its documents a STATEMENT BY MCMAHON that the area in which Arab independence was promised DID NOT INCLUDE PALESTINE.</strong> - With a folding coloured map of the ARAB TERRITORIES AND PALESTINE. Lower part of the booklet with 2cm wide strip of water stain NOT AFFECTING THE MAP outside cover with some markings on spine and remains of label removed. OTHERWISE A VERY GOOD COPY.

1939186857London: Issued by the Jewish Agency for Palestine 1939. Second impression of the Jewish Agency's response to the publication of the McMahon Letters correspondence purportedly showing Britain agreeing to Arab independence including over Palestine prior to the Balfour Declaration. The agency interpreted the letters as confirmation that Palestine was always treated separately and not included in territory to be granted to the Arabs. The McMahon Letters were published by the British Government early in 1939 in an attempt to clarify Britain's historical position. This response cites substantiating documents including government statements and T. E. Lawrence's 18 November 1922 draft preface for Seven Pillars of Wisdom. The colour map emphasizes that Palestine amounts to only one per cent of territory under Arab rule. The second impression was published the same year as the first. Octavo pp. 20. With colour folding map of "Arab Territories and Palestine" text on verso. Original printed wrappers wire-stitched as issued front cover lettered in black. A hint of soiling to wrappers and light stain at foot of contents. A very good copy. unknown

1900206431900. Unidentified photographers Palestine stereoview archive ca. 1900-1930 documents religious geography pilgrimage activity and daily life in Palestine during the late Ottoman and British Mandatory periods supporting research into colonial visual culture Western educational media and representations of the Holy Land. The archive reflects the widespread use of stereoscopic imagery in classrooms and lecture circuits where photographic views of biblical sites and contemporary inhabitants were circulated to shape Western understanding of the region. The images foreground Christian pilgrimage locations while also incorporating local populations and landscapes offering a layered record of how Palestine was visually interpreted for foreign audiences in the early twentieth century.<br /> Twenty-one albumen stereoview photographs primarily produced by Keystone View Company and Underwood & Underwood depicting locations across Palestine including Jerusalem Bethlehem Nazareth and surrounding regions. Views include the Mount of Olives pilgrims walking along the Via Dolorosa the Garden of Gethsemane and the village of Siloam Silwan. Landscape images show the plains of Jericho the Sharon plain and the hills of Samaria with visible architectural ruins including freestanding stone columns. Several images depict daily activity including a Samaritan woman drawing water from Jacob's Well a cattle drive moving through the Valley of Hinnom and individuals traveling mountainous terrain with pack animals. Interiors and urban edges are suggested through narrow streets and clustered buildings. Many mounts include printed captions on the verso in multiple languages. One Keystone stereoview dated 1909 describes the view from the Mount of Olives overlooking Jerusalem referencing the Valley of Jehoshaphat the Golden Gate and the city's religious divisions. Another caption provides a descriptive overview of Jerusalem's population industries and urban conditions framing the city for an արտաքին educational audience.<br /> <br /> Produced during a period of transition from Ottoman to British control the archive reflects how Palestine was mediated through commercial photography for Western consumption particularly emphasizing biblical associations and pilgrimage routes while presenting local populations within ethnographic and orientalist frameworks. The stereoview format itself functioned as both entertainment and instruction reinforcing spatial and cultural narratives through three-dimensional illusion. Light edge wear and minor surface handling consistent with use; images remain clear with well-preserved contrast. Overall in very good condition. unknown

The album serves as both propaganda and educational material designed to instill national pride and discipline among the Jewish population particularly youth involved in the Haganah the Palmach and other proto-military defense organizations.

Uniformed men in sun helmets keffiyehs or British-style caps are shown patrolling rural roads manning watchtowers practicing marksmanship and training in hand-to-hand combat. The inclusion of women in certain images suggests their role in auxiliary units foreshadowing the integration of women in the Israeli military. Several images capture women in agricultural labor construction and fishing industries highlighting their integral role in building and sustaining early Jewish settlements particularly within the kibbutz movement. Additionally photographs of women in aviation training including piloting gliders showcase early efforts to integrate them into technical and military fields.<br /> <br /> A later section transitions into the "Wall and Tower" Homa U'Migdal settlements-strategically built fortified agricultural outposts constructed overnight to establish a Jewish presence in contested areas. Photographs show men and women erecting wooden watchtowers carrying supplies and working cooperatively to secure land under hostile conditions. These images capture the pioneering spirit of the Yishuv where defense and agriculture were inseparable components of state-building. The final third of the album focuses on athletics reflecting the Zionist ideal of the "New Jew"-physically strong self-sufficient and ready to defend the homeland. Included are images of Jewish sports leagues fencing boxing wrestling weightlifting and track and field with a notable photograph of a female athlete wearing a "Ramah" Maccabi shirt symbolizing Jewish participation in international sports and the Maccabiah Games. The album also features aviation imagery including early Jewish pilots training in gliders an essential precursor to the formation of the Israeli Air Force.<br /> <br /> Covers show mild wear with minor foxing and wear to spine.

1930188559Jerusalem: Matba'at D r al-ayt m al-S r yah 1930. The Hope Simpson Report First Arabic edition of Sir John Hope Simpson's groundbreaking report with only two other copies traced at the American University of Beirut and the National Library of Israel. It was published in the same year as the English edition. After a successful career as a diplomat and politician Simpson 1868-1961 was sent to the British Mandate of Palestine subsequent to the 1929 riots to chair a British commission addressing Jewish land settlement and Zionist policies. The report discusses Palestine's natural conformation and climate the impact of Jewish land ownership on the economy and the resulting widespread unemployment among the Arab population which was a cause of unrest. It also addresses demographic changes and public health services including anti-malaria prophylaxis as well as irrigation projects the types of land and its ownership present in Palestine and legislation concerning Bedouin land rights. A pivotal observation is the economic imbalance between the Jewish settlers and the Arab population. The report concludes that "there is at the present time and with the present methods of Arab cultivation no margin of land available for agricultural settlement" and that "it is impossible to give. a reliable estimate of the number of families who could be accommodated in Palestine if the whole country were adequately developed". Quarto. Original blue wrappers wire-stitched as issued. Corners a little bumped spine creased front cover sunned with couple of ink drops and marks towards outer margin contents toned but clean: a very good copy. unknown
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.
