ARAB NATIONALISM UNDER THE BRITISH MANDATE – A Collection of Different Fatwas by Islamic Scholars and men of knowledge in Palestine and other regions, against the occupation of the land by Jews, selling land to the Jews, assisting in moving land from the hands of the Arabs to the Jews, or brokering property or land to the Jews [Arabic]. Jerusalem: The Islamic Printing Press, [1934].
Very rare pamphlet agitating for the restriction of land transfers to Jews. These policies became a central aim of Arab nationalists, and the British, having militarily suppressed the Arab Rebellion of 1936-1939, appeased Arab sentiment by enforcing controls on sale of lands and property to Jews and the restriction of Jewish immigration to Palestine in 1939 with the publication of 'The White Paper' (Cmd 6019). These restrictions were only lifted upon the Declaration of the Independent State of Israel in 1948.
Octavo (240 x 169mm). 14pp. Text in Arabic. Original stapled wrappers (staples rusted, closed tear to rear wrapper with tiny hole, minor spotting confined to margins of upper wrapper, faint vertical crease throughout). [Sold with:] AL-HUSSEINI, Mohammed Amin (c.1897-1974), Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. Signed photograph (222 x 161mm), mounted 294 x 231mm), Beirut, 1961.
