in tone, and it is not surprising that replies to them were heated
Thp first lays on Ibn Sand responsibility tor all the Ateiba
troubles, because he had armed the Ghat-Ghat gang O-Atowan
fanatics: pp. 64,129), and it adjures the son ° £ luf^ns
and father of Turki to open his eyes and see that such ruflian
are unworthy of his religion, his valour and his igm y-
beginning and the end of this matter are with God , do you

The second letter repeats the reproach, and denies ai
accusation that the pulpits of Mecca have denounced the people
of Neid ; it states, however, that the said pulpits ask God to
destroy, among other people, Mubtadiyah, i.e. those who initiate
new doctrines ! The King claims to protect Ateibah wherever
they are, and alludes to a letter he had written direct to fahad
ibn Maamir, Ibn Baud’s Emir in Boreida—a letter to which, we
know, Ibn Baud objects, not unreasonably, as a very incorrect
communication for Husein to send to one of his (ibn hands)
officers. Incidentally we learn from another allusion a new tact
about the events following Ibn Sand’s defeat at Jerab (se<? 1917,
pp 126 346). The Shammar brought down to Medina the
flags captured from Ibn Sand; but Sherif All interfered and
prevented their display by the Turks in the market.
Arabs and Jews.
The Kiblah, No. 183, of May 23, contains a liberal article on
the Jewish element in Palestine. Its gist is as follows :
The Mokattam had written on the efforts ol the Zionists m
Palestine and their endeavours to develope the country in agri
culture, etc. At the same time the Mokattam advised the natives
to take example from the foreigners (apropos of the visit of the
Zionist Mission). The Kiblah adds its voice to that of the Mokattam
in hoping that the inhabitants will accept that advice. It is
said that Idle Jews form one tenth of the population in Palestine,
and whether this be correct or not, it is enough to indicate that,
if such a small community is capable ol such great deeds, other
people may well take it as an example. The Jews are a very
capable nation, and their failure in the past was due only to the
fact that they were persecuted and cut-off from the means of
progress. It is noteworthy that Jews have come from all parts of
the world to inhabit Palestine, whereas the original inhabitants ol
Palestine have emigrated to other parts of the world. The number
of the former, therefore, has increased from 14,000 to 45,000.
This was solely due to their love of their country and home.
The natives of Palestine, therefore, ought to unite and work
together, as their holy books and traditions instruct them to unite
for the common welfare. The Jewish case is a sort of school or
lesson for them, and they ought to profit by it. The societies
and clubs, which have assisted the Jews, are indirectly assisting
other elements among the natives. These last are receiving a
good example, which they should follow.

About this item

Content

The volume consists of individual copies of the Arab Bulletin produced by the Arab Bureau at the Savoy Hotel, Cairo numbers 66-114. These publications contain wartime, and post-war intelligence obtained by British sources. They deal with economic, military, and political matters in Turkey, the Middle East, Arabia, and elsewhere, which – in the opinion of British officials – affect the ‘Arab movement’; the bulletins cover a wide range of topics and key personalities.

The volume contains the following maps:

  • A map of Central Arabia showing St John Philby's route from Uqair to Jidda 17 November to 31 December 1917: folio 103.
  • Sketch map prepared from RNAS photographs and reconnaissance by HMS City of Oxford of Wadi A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows. Mur February to March 1918 : folio 170.
  • Sketch map of Hejaz (1919): folio 317.
  • Tribal sketch map of the Hadhramaut ‘showing only tribes of fighting value’: folios 333v.

Tables of content can be found at the front of each issue. A small amount of content is in French.
