The Ottoman Imperial Archives' Rare Pictures of the Trains of the Holy Land. Vital to the Armies of World War I Posted: 06 Aug 2017 11:38 PM PDT The official opening of the railroad to Be'er Sheva,  October 1915. I have been researching in the Ottoman Imperial Archives for photographs for my next book,  World War I in the Holy Land,  specifically on the vital logistical role played by the extensive railroad network built by the Turks throughout the region. Without giving away too much now, I focused on the Be'er Sheva station, the hub for moving Turkish supplies and men for the combat along the Suez Canal, in the Sinai, and southern Palestine between 1915 and 1917.  More than 100 Jews worked for the railroad system, and on January 15, 1917, 16 Jews were killed in a British air raid on the rail yard. Other Jewish workers died of disease and flash floods. All photographs are from my collection of Ottoman Imperial Archives photographs, unless otherwise noted.  Click

Two-state solution was implemented in 1922 when British administration of occupied Israel allocated in violation of international treaty - YJ Draiman

Two-state solution was implemented in 1922  when British administration of occupied Israel allocated  in violation of international treaty and agreements more than 77% of Israel territory to Arab Palestinian Muslims and created Transjordan (now Jordan) , they expelled the Jews and confiscated their property and to this day do not allow Jews to live in Jordan or own property. . Therefore, all so called Arab "Palestinians" must be relocated there in compliance with the 1920 UN Resolution. The Arabs can also be sent to the homes and over 120,000 sq. km. the Arab countries confiscated when they expelled over a million Jewish families who were resettled in The Land of Israel It is enough stealing Israel Jewish land. Britain and Jordan must compensate Israel for stolen land, property and natural resources.

Peace and coexistence between Israel and its Arab neighbors would be a dream comes true! - YJ Draiman

Peace and coexistence between  Israel  and its Arab neighbors would be a dream comes true!  Peace and coexistence between Israel and its Arab neighbors would be a dream come true! I do not think that anyone could comprehend what a true peace and coexistence would bring to Israel and the Middle East . As long as the Arab-Palestinians incite the masses to terrorize and commit violence against Israel and each other, peace and coexistence will stay a dream. The Arab Palestinians must start by educating their children and the masses that violence begets violence and that the only way to improve their lives is to pursue peace and coexistence. Stop celebrating and rewarding terrorists and those who commit violence and destruction. If the Arab-Palestinians truly want peace they must practice it. The leaders the Imams and anyone who has influence on the masses. Both sides will have to be careful not to let the extremists jeopardize this approach and direction. There will al

Jewish right to live in peace throughout Israel must be enforced - YJ Draiman

Jewish right to live in peace  throughout Israel must be  enforced Why as a Jew does the world think it has a right to torture me? Israel was created to prevent this. Yet on my home soil someone thinks that he has a right to torture me because I am a Jew. Israel of all places in the world should be my sanctuary especially because it’s the Jewish official state for all Jews. Is it because I am a Jew that I deserve missiles to be thrown upon me? Is it because I am a Jew that another Jew has the right to prevent me from praying to my God on the Temple Mount ? Many Jewish souls died in the Diaspora and continue to die including in Israel for the sole reason that they are Jews. Their fate was in the hand of their leaders. They deserved so much more then being murdered just because they were Jewish. We do no want to repeat the Holocaust again; or the expulsion of over a million Jewish families from Arab countries. Israel must learn to secure the safety of every citizen un

If you are to question Israel's sovereignty west of the Jordan River, You have to question Jordan's sovereignty east of the Jordan river and the other 21 Arab states established after WWI on over 12 million sq. km. - YJ Draiman

If you are to question Israel 's sovereignty west of the Jordan River , You have to question Jordan 's sovereignty east of the Jordan river and the other 21 Arab states established after WWI on over 12 million sq. km . with a wealth of oil reserves.  All those Arab states were established by the same Supreme Allied powers that established Israel in the San Remo Treaty of 1920 Crash Course on the Arab Israeli Conflict Here are overlooked facts in the current Middle East situation; these were compiled by a Christian university professor. It makes sense and it’s not slanted. Jew and non-Jew –it doesn’t matter. Thank You. 1. Nationhood and Jerusalem . Israel became a nation in 1312 B.C.E., more than two thousand years before the rise of Islam. King Solomon build the Jewish Temple on Temple Mount . 2. Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a Arab/Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the modern State of Isr

The Arab-Palestinians are the occupiers of Jewish land - YJ Draiman

The Arab-Palestinians are the occupiers of Jewish land The Arab-Palestinians are the occupiers of Jewish land; inform the World they are delusional in thinking that Arabs belong in Israel - There will never be an Arab/Palestinian State together or adjacent to Eretz Israel . There has never been such a nation as the Arab/Palestinian People. The Arab/Muslim Koran specifically states in The Qur'an 17:104 - states the land belongs to the Jewish people If the historic documents, archaeological excavations, comments written by eyewitnesses and declarations by the most authoritative Arab scholars are still not enough, let us quote the most important source for Muslim Arabs: "And thereafter we [Allah] said to the Children of Israel: 'Dwell securely in the Promised Land. And when the last warning will come to pass, we will gather you together in a mingled crowd'." Any sincere Muslim must recognize the Land they call " Palestine " aka “The Land of Israe
