MAAMAD HAPOALIM [PROLETARIAT GROUP] -- ANTI-NASHASHIBI PROPAGANDA
A group of 7 election broadsides and flyers, comprising: CHOFSHI, Y. Workers of the world, unite! Approaching the elections the chutzpah of the Mayor! [N.p., but probably Tel-Aviv, n.d., but early 1920s]. (350 x 121mm). With ½ mil revenue stamp marked OPDA (Ottoman Public Debt Administration) and EEF (Egyptian Expeditionary Force). [With:] -- To All Jerusalem Voters! Tel-Aviv: Amnut Press, [n.d., but 1927]. (277 x 132mm). Text in Hebrew; with another copy in Yiddish. (Corners lightly dogeared.) [With:] -- Workers of the world, unite! Friends, workers and honest citizens! Tel-Aviv: 6 April 1927. (318 x 142mm). Text in Yiddish. (One edge fractionally chipped.) [With:] -- Workers of the world, unite! Jewish voters! Tel-Aviv: [n.d., but 1927]. (292 x 178mm). Text in Hebrew. (A few missing words supplied in pencil manuscript.) [With:] -- Jewish Voters! Tel-Aviv: 6 April 1927. Small flyer (120 x 143mm). (One edge slightly irregularly cut, a few insignificant ink marks.); with another copy in Yiddish, (282 x 138mm). (Creasefolds, some soiling.)
EXCEPTIONALLY RARE EPHEMERA urging Jewish voters not to vote for Raghib al-Nashashibi (1881-1951) in the elections for Mayor of Jerusalem. Nashashibi was elected mayor of Jerusalem in 1920, holding the post until 1934. He was a leading opponent of the Husseini family in Palestine. To some extent the British Mandatory Government played the two families off against each other in order to keep a balance of power, Sir Herbert Samuel appointing Mohammed Amin al-Husseini as Grand Mufti of Jerusalem in 1921. This is described in the first named broadside, where it is claimed that Sir Ronald Storrs, first Military, then Civil Governor of Jerusalem, 1917-1926, wants Jewish voters to back Nashashibi in his re-election as mayor, so that the British have their man in position, and can involve Jewish voters in the machinations of the Arab Executive.
