  • Palestine & Trans-Jordan Chronology of Events
    28 February 2018 [CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS – PALESTINE, TRANS-JORDAN & SYRIA] Chronology of Events – Palestine, Trans-Jordan and Syria 1915 January German led Ottoman (Turkish) forces invade the Sinai Peninsula with the aim of capturing the Suez Canal. They are held, and eventually in 1916 pushed back out of Sinai into Palestine. 1916 March The last of a series of ten letters between HUSSEIN bin Ali, Sharif of Mecca, and the British High Commissioner in Egypt (McMAHON) affirms the U.K. commitment to recognise Arab independence after the Great War in exchange for Arab support in the war against the Ottoman Empire, and the launching of an Arab revolt against Turkish occupation of Mespotamia, Syria, Trans-Jordan and Palestine. 16 May The U.K. and France sign the SYKES – PICOT Agreement, which includes the then Russian Empire, apportioning spheres of influence over Turkey, Palestine and Western Persia when the Ottoman Empire was defeated in the war. The U.K. would have control of a coastal strip of Palestine, including the ports of Haifa and Acre, up to the River Jordan, and southern Iraq from Basra up to Baghdad along the two main rivers of the region (the Euphrates and Tigris). France was to gain control of south-eastern Turkey, Syria and Lebanon, and Russia Istanbul, the Turkish Straits, and Armenia. The Arab peoples were excluded from this agreement, as were any Jewish representatives. 1917 October – November British forces defeat the Turkish Army at the Third Battle of Gaza, leading to a large scale retreat by Turkish forces. 9 November The letter sent by Foreign Secretary of the U.K.

  • Financing Racism and Apartheid
    Financing Racism and Apartheid Jewish National Fund’s Violation of International and Domestic Law PALESTINE LAND SOCIETY August 2005 Synopsis The Jewish National Fund (JNF) is a multi-national corporation with offices in about dozen countries world-wide. It receives millions of dollars from wealthy and ordinary Jews around the world and other donors, most of which are tax-exempt contributions. JNF aim is to acquire and develop lands exclusively for the benefit of Jews residing in Israel. The fact is that JNF, in its operations in Israel, had expropriated illegally most of the land of 372 Palestinian villages which had been ethnically cleansed by Zionist forces in 1948. The owners of this land are over half the UN- registered Palestinian refugees. JNF had actively participated in the physical destruction of many villages, in evacuating these villages of their inhabitants and in military operations to conquer these villages. Today JNF controls over 2500 sq.km of Palestinian land which it leases to Jews only. It also planted 100 parks on Palestinian land. In addition, JNF has a long record of discrimination against Palestinian citizens of Israel as reported by the UN. JNF also extends its operations by proxy or directly to the Occupied Palestinian Territories in the West Bank and Gaza. All this is in clear violation of international law and particularly the Fourth Geneva Convention which forbids confiscation of property and settling the Occupiers’ citizens in occupied territories. Ethnic cleansing, expropriation of property and destruction of houses are war crimes. As well, use of tax-exempt donations in these activities violates the domestic law in many countries, where JNF is domiciled.
