’’detailed explanation about the Biraq (Wailing
Wall) and the Jewish ambition to obtain this Moslem
place as well as other Moslem Holy Places in
Palestine"*
^ow that we have fully explained the ambitions
of the Jews, their religious intention and political
desires towards Palestine and the Moslem Holy
Places, we are moved to explain the ways and methods
ibey adopt to realise these desires which threaten
the l^oslems in this country with the greatest of
dangers•
The Jews in the world number 16 millions but
despite their small number they are scattered all
over the world especially in the capitals of the
European Powers, They have special methods and ways
to make money and acquire wealth. This is not what
it is intended to explain; but by their economical
methods and knowledge of finance they have formed
ban s and comznercial associations which control
the economical world and have a great effect on
world markets. There are many high Jewish houses
v/hich give loans to Governments and Political men
and from which they gain enormously*
The Jews both before and after the Great War
formed political societies which worked to acquire
an realise their religious desires in J:lestine.
These societies which proceed by special rules and
regulations gather large sums of money from the
Jews of the world. To these amounts are added
the contributions made by wealthy Jews and great
men in America, Prance and England as well as in
other places.
