Mandali Assistantship and Jewish Smuggling
From Mandali news, on the night of
3/29/950, the Police Assistantship
seized a Lorry in the lands of
Dijla coming from Baghdad with
three Jewish persons in it: Victor Ezra
Shami, Hezekiel Isaac, and Joseph
Israel, along with the smugglers Mahmoud Ghulam,
Ashour Hassan, and Kadhim Aziz. When they were brought
to the District Governor in his capacity as Criminal Judge, the
smugglers were ordered to provide a cash bond of (500)
dinars or face imprisonment for three years.
They were taken to Baqubah prison, while the Jews
were detained pending their transfer to court
and the revocation of their citizenship. Note that
the Assistantship has completely closed the borders to
Zionist escapees with
intense surveillance. This is no surprise, as the Assistant
(Ahmed Sab' Al-Nasiri), who manages this
department, was one of those who volunteered to go to
Palestine and his request was granted, and today he is the Assistant
of Mandali. May God bless his efforts.

Jews Flee
And leave behind debts!
One of the merchants in Khan Al-Rumah
Al-Kabir wrote to us saying: The Jews are fleeing daily
stealthily from Iraq to Tel Aviv, leaving
behind their debts. Then finally came the issue of
revoking their citizenship, and this is being utilized
by some of them.
The merchant suggests that the government
should publish from time to time a list of the names of those
who applied to have their citizenship revoked and those
whose citizenship was revoked because of their flight
so that public opinion may be informed, and so that
national creditors may benefit before they are surprised
by their departure. We hope that the government will consider
taking the necessary measures to protect the rights
of the people from the Jews in this matter
specifically!

Details of the Bomb Incident
An eyewitness tells it to Al-Yaqaza readers
The bomb is of the Mills type . .
And from the remnants of the British Army !!
* I was told that a bomb exploded yesterday
evening on Abu Nuwas Street in the Al-Baida
Casino. I said this is not the first bomb
exploded by the Jews in Baghdad "the capital
of Al-Rashid, and the minaret of ancient glory". Have
the sleepers awakened !
* The residents of the Al-Orafaliya area were
terrified at nine o'clock on Saturday evening
(yesterday) by the sound of a massive explosion, after which
they rushed to the scene of the incident. One of Al-Yaqaza's
friends recounted his observations as he saw them
with his own eyes, saying:
The Scene of the Incident
The explosion occurred in the side street
connecting Abu Nuwas Street and Al-Sa'adoon
Street. It left a hole in the ground
three centimeters deep and at a distance of six
feet from the wall of the Al-Baida Casino. The
asphalt was scattered around the hole, and the car
of Mr. Abdul Rahman Shweish, numbered 1146 Baghdad,
was hit by shrapnel from the projectile, breaking
the lamp, window, and door on its right side.
The Range of Scattered Shrapnel
The diameter of the scattered shrapnel of the projectile
was (25) feet, and it resulted in a power
outage in the house adjacent to the explosion
site, belonging to a person named "Hayawi".
Names of the Injured
The number of people injured in the incident among
those sitting in the Al-Baida Casino reached four, they
are: Khadhouri Shaoul, Shaoul
Yusuf, Akram Ezra, and Elias Yusuf.
Despite the fact that their injuries were serious, they
were sent to the hospital for treatment.
The Exploded Bomb
We have learned that the explosion was the result
of throwing a hand grenade, which the technical expert said
was one of the Mills bombs with a high explosion,
of British manufacture, numbered (2),
manufactured in 1936, and it is believed to be from
the remnants of the British Army.
Searching Houses and Shops
The officer in charge of the Al-Battaween police
station, Mr. Hussein Abdul Ali, and the two commissioners,
Mr. Abdul Jabbar Hussein and Mr. Sha'ban
Saeed, along with a group of police members, raided
the houses and shops adjacent to the scene of the incident,
which are: Al-Baida Casino, Al-Hana Restaurant and Drinks,
and the house of Hayawi. The police did not find
anything of significance.
Employees of the Casino and Bar
As a result of the investigation with the employees of
the Al-Baida Casino and Al-Hana Restaurant and Drinks,
the police arrested, by order of the investigating judge,
each of:
Muhammad Muhammad Al-Azri (Electrical Engineer)
And Second Lieutenant Hashim Rakhwi ⟦...⟧
Mahdi Muhammad Al-Azri.
Statements of the Detainees
The detainees stated that they were
sitting on the roof of Al-Hana Restaurant and Drinks
playing "Tawla" (backgammon) when they heard the explosion.
Flight of Some Persons
The servants of the Al-Hana Restaurant, who are:
Bounat Matti, Kyriakos Yusuf, and Touma
Gerges Hanna, stated that three others were
sitting on the roof of the bar and immediately
after the explosion, they left in confusion, hurrying
through the front door.
Attendance of the Baghdad Police Director
Half an hour after the occurrence of the incident,
the Baghdad Police Director and the Assistant for Al-Battaween
Police arrived at the scene of the explosion to supervise
the progress of the investigation with the suspects. The taking
of statements continued until a late hour
last night.
Statements of the Injured
At one o'clock after midnight,
the injured were brought from the hospital and their
statements were taken. Investigations are still ongoing
to identify the perpetrators.

His Excellency Mr. Salih Jabr
And the protection of employees' rights
Young Jews rush to Palestine
While the elderly and the needy will remain as observers and a fifth column
Four thousand young Jews register themselves to renounce Iraqi citizenship in two days
(Al-Husun) has published more than once articles calling on the government to care for the affairs of employees and to amend service and retirement laws in a way that guarantees them a good future and protects their rights from tampering and manipulation, so that stability prevails in their souls and they become more keen on duty and further from bribery, negligence, and weak sense of responsibility. And the problem of employees in this
Four years ago, he thought first of all about making employees happy and compensating them for the injustice, deprivation, and misery that befell them during the lean war years, and he coupled thought with action, submitting to Parliament a bill to adjust officers' salaries and was about to submit the special bills to adjust the salaries of other classes of employees were it not for his departure from government as is known,
It does not mean mere words, but rather serious and correct action, and reform occurs in two ways: the first of which is creating laws that guarantee that the government machine, which is the employee, is reassured of his rights, secure, and far from manipulation of his destiny or being subject to measures that may be unjust imposed by problems and motives."
Today, as His Excellency takes over the Ministry of Interior and the acting Premiership, he hastens to achieve what the nation was deprived of achieving from his national projects, including those related to employee affairs. Two days ago, he submitted to the Chamber of Deputies the Civil Service Law bill and the Cadre Law bill and promised to submit the Teacher Service Law bill after its study by the Ministry of Education is completed, as well as the Engineers Law, expressing his sympathy for these two classes by saying: "The Teacher Service Law is among the most important
This is what His Excellency Mr. Salih Jabr stated the day before yesterday in the National Assembly, and we see no need to appeal to His Excellency to implement this noble national project because His Excellency has accustomed us to doing what he says.
Crowds of young Bnei Israel in Iraq who seek to renounce their Iraqi citizenship to join their alleged homeland in Palestine crowded the offices specialized in registration for those wishing to leave Iraq. Since the issuance of the law to renounce citizenship for Jews until today, no one had registered in the offices prepared by the government to accept registration and renunciation of citizenship except about six hundred Jews.
But a strange phenomenon emerged from the Jews in the past two days; about four thousand young Jews registered to travel outside Iraq with a request to renounce their citizenship.
This is something that draws attention because we saw the Jews at first standing hesitant between stepping forward and holding back, and we do not know now what made them eager, pushing them to approach registration in this massive way. No doubt all Jews are linked to Israel in Palestine and they do not move a still thing nor still a moving one
except by a signal from Israel. This implies that Israel was previously studying the renunciation of Iraqi citizenship for Jews and studying the consequences and circumstances resulting from that. Now, it seems that Israel has reached in its study what guarantees the immigrant Jews from Iraq what they want from Israel, or that Israel has become in need of the strong arms of Jewish youth to ward off the danger looming over it, which must descend upon it at some hour. Therefore, we saw that those crowding the government offices for migration and renouncing citizenship are the youth and the youth only.
Israel is not in need of the elderly, the needy, and the weak among the world's Jews, but rather it needs those who will supply Palestine with their money and blood. It does not accept for itself to adopt burdens that are heavy on it, but at the same time, it wants to keep these elderly Jews, whom it does not want to keep itself, as a burden on other people, sucking blood and wreaking havoc on earth, and it wants them to be observers and eyes for it on the nations and peoples
surrounding Israel and a fifth column promoting its corruption and sowing discord among nations hostile to it. Otherwise, why is it that among those who want to migrate there are no elderly or weak individuals? After what the Jews intend for the Arabs and what Israel intends for the surrounding peoples has become clear, after all or part of this, one must be vigilant and take precaution regarding the matter of the Jews. Those remaining are no less dangerous than those departing, and those departing are no less impactful than those remaining.
As long as the Jews carry one feeling which is (Israel), it is not in the interest to keep any of them in the body of the country and its folds. Either they should all be driven to migrate so that
the country is cleared of their filth and impurities, or their youth should be prevented from migrating altogether; for what is the benefit of the youth migrating while the deviant elderly and the aged remain, extorting money, sowing hatred, smuggling expertise, and spying for Israel?
Is this not what needs deep consideration and the setting of a plan capable of protecting the country from the tampering and recklessness of the Jews, and from allowing room for these ⟦snakes⟧ they play on the stage of Arab politics in Arab lands, in the locations of its forces and its assembly centers, and within the sight and hearing of Arab politicians and statesmen??
Moscow Attacks Collective Security
Moscow - The Communist newspaper "Trud" today accused America of sponsoring the collective security project for the Arab League states and seeking to achieve it.
The newspaper said that the US State Department is trying to include the Arab countries in the aggressive colonial bloc.
Atomic Submarine Industry Between America and Russia!
A race to ruin in the Third World War
Washington - Vice Admiral Charles Lockwood, former commander of the US submarine fleet in the Pacific, believes that Russia is ahead of the United States in building atomic submarines. The Third World War will begin with a series of surprise atomic attacks on cities
carrying atomic missiles launched at the coasts of the United States without being noticed by anyone. He pointed out that Russian submarines might be able to travel to the West Coast of the United States and drop atomic missiles then return without needing
atomic information that ensures for them the creation of atomic submarines, and thus there is no reason for anyone to think they are not building a submarine or that they are racing us in this field.

Fuchs's Lawyer Assassinated
In Mysterious Circumstances
London - London police found Mr. Thompson Halsall, the lawyer who defended Dr. Fuchs, dead in mysterious circumstances.
It happened that a doctor was called to treat the lawyer, and when he knocked on the apartment door, no one answered. Consequently, he was called and the door was broken down, and the lawyer was found drowned in his blood in
the hall. The reasons are still mysterious, as it is known that Dr. Fuchs has no relatives in England and that the lawyer was the only one who visited him in his prison.
Fuchs, as readers know, is the German scientist who naturalized with British citizenship and was accused of delivering atomic documents to Russian agents, and was sentenced to ten years in prison.

Agents of Adour Abboudi Bank
Are making despicable attempts to save him from the clutches of his creditors
Some dead consciences are striving to cover up the betrayal with exposed Jewish methods
The government must hurry to put the axe to the root of the tree!
The esteemed Al-Jumhur newspaper published in its issue
Number 239 an article about the suspension of Adour
Abboudi Bank and opened the topic by questioning
Where did the bank's money go? and concluded by asking
the officials to conduct an investigation, but it
did not mention what happened shortly before the suspension until now
as it mentioned the subject in general, but I
would like to mention it in detail, delving deep into the research
mentioning everything I know, aiming thereby for the interest
of the collective, casting private interest against the
wall as a service in that regard to the citizens
and the creditors.
The mentioned bank stopped just as
his colleagues who preceded him or followed him did for a goal known by
everyone, which is to disrupt the economic and
commercial situation in Iraq, fulfilling in that the call
of Israel and performing what was requested of them
perfectly!!
Those of weak morals and weak patriotism
among the sons of this country are the solid pillar
and the direct cause, added to them the betrayal of the Jews
in encouraging this bank to stop
performance, and I must inform that these are his partners
and his friends who rely on him, and therefore
we found them when we wanted to file a lawsuit against
the bank, they began begging us at times
and threatening us at others, and promising us with
false, deceptive, and trivial appointments, so they were defending
this criminal, but one of us asked one
of them to give him half of what he has at the bank
and the rest he gives to him, so the bank mediator did
nothing but turn his face and walk away.
The camouflage of these mediators
and their rumors were supported by the bank's lawyer
and the writing of one of the local newspapers about
(the non-suspension of Adour Abboudi Bank) had a
great impact on public opinion, including even the officials
and among them - unfortunately - His Excellency the responsible
Judge to whom we went and asked him to
order the seizure of the bank, but he did nothing but
refuse our request, making excuses and relying on what was mentioned by
the newspaper and the camouflage of the lawyer (the bank's lawyer)
so the Judge's answer to us was that this bank
had not stopped, but the Judge was surprised the next
day by a statement issued by the Ministry of Finance announcing
in it the suspension of this bank from performance, and at that time
the Judge ordered the seizure and the carrying out of the
necessary measures for that..
And now.. after the failure of the attempt of the bank's
friends and partners in deceiving us, the owner's agent
(Abu Jamil) began performing some acts contrary
to the law, assisted in that by his lawyer, friends,
and partners. I say this agent began performing
acts contrary to the law by conspiring
with some creditors, claiming to them that he will
give them half of their debts now and give them the rest
after a short period if they were able to satisfy
the other creditors by taking ten percent
10% of them at the bank.
So these mediators (the conspiring
creditors) carried out a large propaganda by which they wanted
to deceive us, so they were with this propaganda of theirs casting
the public interest against the wall, preferring
their personal interest above everything!
So all of these began camouflaging
the poor creditors and asking
us to agree to another 10% and divide
at 12 percent and be happy with the rest provided that
we wait for a period of two months and less as they will transfer
money (cash) to the bank owner from America
and that the bank did not go bankrupt and still owns much
money, so they were telling us this for the sake
of lifting the seizure from the bank, and from the funny
and sad thing is that one of these conspiring
creditors informed us of the presence of much money in
the bank but I do not know how he forgot and I believe
he pretended to forget because two days before the bank stopped
he (the bank) was asked to give him an amount
of money not equal to one fifth of what he owns in
the bank but the bank refused and did not hand him a single
fils..!!
And the most painful, or rather the most calamitous and bitter part of all
this is that among those who perform the role
of the mediator and service to the bank are from Islam and
from the pilgrims of the Holy House of God!! But I do not know
how they discarded the service of God and the homeland and lost
their conscience for the sake of serving the criminal Jews
enemies of the homeland and religion.
Therefore, I direct my call and request to my brothers
the creditors, as I direct it at the same time - to
all our merchants and our money owners to
put the public interest above everything
especially in such a difficult time which
the enemies of the homeland have begun to exploit to launch their economic
attack to disrupt the financial situation in the country
relying on the support of some of those devoid of conscience
and weak morals who are persistent in their error
whose consciences are dead, worshipers of dirhams and traitors of the country,
and that my brothers from the creditors avoid performing such
conspiracies, as we hope from the officials
to strike the hands of these traitors and that
they hasten in conducting the investigation and punishing
those who fell short with the harshest punishment to be
a lesson for others like them, traitors of the country
and its enemies.
And I say finally to the creditors not to believe
everything the bank's lawyer says because
with this talk of his he deceives them, so let them demand
collectively the bankruptcy of this bank, and peace
be upon him who follows the guidance.

Incidents and Local News
Al-Uzair Village and the Marshes
Have become a center for smuggling Jews to Al-Huwayza
The government must establish important centers there and appoint a sub-district director
Assisting Muslims in Al-Uzair is a duty
The Directorate General of Awqaf must support religious projects in Al-Uzair
Al-Uzair is one of the important Iraqi villages
Because it is located among authentic Arab tribes and because it is
Near Qurna, Qal'at Saleh, and the
Suwaib River leading to the Huwayza marsh. In it is
The tomb of Al-Uzair, peace be upon him.
The Jews were and still are performing pilgrimage every
Year to this village to visit Al-Uzair, and they
Established facilities, buildings, and markets there
And shops, making their presence in this village a prominent
Entity, and they solidified their influence and took
Arab Muslims as servants and assistants, so the
Entire village became Jewish-Zionist in every sense
Of the word like any Jewish colony. And God
Willed that this general matter and this
Important situation be noticed, so He prepared for this village (Mr.
Mahmoud Al-Hilu), who is one of the honorable Sayyids
Who have glorious legacies and great services
To Islam and Muslims. He was able to
Transform this Jewish village into an
Islamic village, to build a mosque there, and build
Houses for some of the Arab residents. This
Noble Sayyid was able to collect for that
Some funds from the people of Basra who
Saw in him sincere determination and resolve. However,
What reached his hand was not something
Sufficient for his noble and useful project, so the
Money stopped him at a crossroads and his project remained incomplete.
The aforementioned Sayyid contacted the Directorate
General of Awqaf months ago, and they promised him
That they would provide aid and supply him with money or adopt
This Islamic project themselves, and postponed everything until
April of this year. The Sayyid has returned
Demanding that the Directorate General of Awqaf fulfill its promise
But they postponed what they promised for another two months.
Procrastination in completing and supporting such
A project may destroy the project from
Its foundation and make it a thing of the past. The project
In its entirety does not require much back and forth
Because it is extremely simple and easy.
The Sayyid was able to build a mosque,
Declare the Islamic identity of the village, and build the annexes
The mosque needs. Likewise, he was able
To encourage the Muslim residents of the village
To build houses and homes for themselves. All that
He needs now is a few hundred Dinars
To complete the construction by building a house for the spiritual scholar
And preacher who must reside near the mosque,
Nothing more, and to build a fence surrounding the mosque
And protecting it only.
The influential Jews are the agents of the Al-Hanna
Al-Sheikh brick kilns, and others
Among the merchants, sellers, and custodians of Al-Uzair. Thus,
They were able to seize control over the poor Muslims
Among the weak workers and enslave them, and they became
A den for Jews who wish to flee
By way of Huwayza. We urge the government to
Pay attention to this matter and we call upon the Directorate of Awqaf
To hasten in supporting this Islamic project
Which was established to revive an Islamic village
That Judaism almost swallowed, nearly causing Islam
There to leave no trace.

Increased demand for renouncing citizenship
Among Jews - Opening of new registration centers
Registrants include unemployed youth and dismissed employees
The demand remains strong at the
registration centers by Jews wishing to
renounce their Iraqi citizenship. Due to
this demand and the heavy crowding in
the original registration center in Meir
Tweig Synagogue in Al-Bataween, new
registration centers were opened because of this
crowding in the areas of Al-Tayaran, Abu Sifein, Al-Qishla, Taht
Al-Takiya, Al-Bataween, and Karrada. Yesterday
(137) people were registered, including elderly,
youth, and women. It was noted that most of them
are unemployed school graduates and dismissed
employees. It was also noted that the wealthy
and middle-class have not come forward to register.
Despite registering this number, the
crowding was intense at the end of the official time
for registrants yesterday. Meir Tweig Synagogue will remain
the general center for registration, meaning that the branches
where individuals wishing to renounce
their citizenship are registered will bring them to sign
their special forms before the committee
which has set its headquarters in Meir Synagogue.
A special schedule has been set for registration in
the recently opened branches to conduct
registration in the centers sequentially; registration is
completed in one center, and on the
following day in the other center, and so on.

Abu Nuwas Bomb Incident
Readers recall that both Second Lieutenant
Hashim Rahoumi, Mr. Majeed Mohammad
Al-Azri, and Mr. Mahdi Mohammad Al-Azri were
arrested last Saturday evening following
the bomb explosion incident near the Al-Baida Casino
on Abu Nuwas Street last Saturday.
We have learned that the aforementioned detainees
were released on bail after no evidence
was found linking them to the incident.
Attention is now focused on the three Jews
who fled from Al-Hana Restaurant and Drinks
immediately after the incident; they are Yaqoub Ezra,
Moshe Ezra, and Gal Isaac, who
are currently under investigation.
A Jew Fires a Shot
in Al-Saadoun Street as a Provocation
At 4:45 PM
last Monday, the Al-Bataween Police Station
received a report of a shooting incident
in Al-Saadoun Street. Mr. Hussein Ali, the station
officer, immediately proceeded
to the scene to investigate,
where he found the teacher Mr. Diya Al-Dujaili
standing in front of the Orphali building holding
an empty shell casing for a No. (7) pistol.
He also found two students who stated
that they were riding their bicycles passing through
the road when they encountered the individual Abdullah
Moshe... and after a short period of
time, the sound of a gunshot rang out at
a distance of one meter from them, and no one else was near them
except Abdullah Moshe. They picked up the shell
casing from the ground, which was still retaining
the heat of the explosion. As for Abdullah Moshe
himself, he continued on his way without
caring about what happened.
Based on the testimony of the two students, the suspect
was arrested and identified; he was sitting
in Fadhil Al-Kurdi's cafe accompanied by two individuals,
Naji Ezra and Naji Shaul, who were
also arrested, and they were all detained by order
of the investigating judge.
It appears from the circumstances of the incident that the intent
behind committing it was provocation. Pending
the results of the investigation, we refrain from reporting
the information we have.

to the United Nations Secretariat after being

We do not know what the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs'
excuse is for this strange matter!
* The flight of Jews from Iraq continues,
while their creditors and those dealing with them are oblivious.
When the inevitable happens, they come crying
and wailing: "Haskel, Moshe, and Ezra
have fled, and they owe us many things."

Kifri Sub-district.. and the Escape of the Jews
On the night of 12-3-1950, it reached the ears of
the sub-district office that there was a lorry car near
the lands of one of the villages that had come
from Baghdad with Jewish families inside attempting
to escape to Iran. As soon as the firm assistant
"Mr. Abdul Hamid Saeed" heard
this news, he took Commissioner
Abdulaziz with him and went to the mentioned location
at that time, and found a number of Jews
without the car, as it had fled to an
unknown destination after leaving all its passengers
in flat lands. The aforementioned person
brought them all to the police station, and
their number was approximately twenty individuals,
including men, women, and children. After a careful
search of them, approximately one thousand dinars
were found in their possession, and of gold jewelry
more than a hundred mithqals of gold. He began
recording every piece himself in the name of its owner.
After taking their statements, he escorted them to court
to receive their punishment. This is knowing that he has
completely closed the borders in the face of the Zionist escapees,
and has also prohibited the operation of "rafts"
on the Diyala River, which used to facilitate crossing
between the districts of Kifri and Khanaqin. It is no wonder
that Mr. "Abdul Hamid" is one of the vigilant police
officers who are pointed to with fingers of praise
and who stay awake to maintain security
and the comfort of the citizens and work hard for it.

the Council of the League of Arab States here, a memorandum regarding allowing Jews in the countries to emigrate from them
to Israel, at a time when the property of Arab Palestinians in Israel is being confiscated and
unjust laws are being enacted against them. The Palestinian government requested the application of the principle of reciprocity,
meaning the confiscation of the property of Jews in Arab countries. It was decided to refer this memorandum to the
Political Committee
Passport Forgery
to Palestine
Our correspondent learned that an old Jewish gang
has begun forging passports, and it
is taking hundreds of Jews out of Iraq
using these forged passports along with amounts
of money
At the head of this forgery gang
is the person named Ezra Muhallab bin Hazqiyal, of Iraqi
nationality, and Mirza Agha Harunian bin Agha Mal
and Fayzullah Allah Al-Yahudi bin Lutf Allah
and Maysoon Harunian bin Babakhan. These people
managed to forge the stamps of police stations
No. 3 and No. 13, and the case is now
under investigation by the Directorate of General Police
and the Public Prosecution

Migration of Iraqi Jews
It has been noted that the number of Jews who have registered
their names in preparation to leave Iraq for
Israel has increased; the demand for registration has grown
especially after Passover, and the
responsible authorities are organizing the registration of those emigrating from Iraq.
It is believed that a large number of Jews are
ready to travel at any moment and are waiting for
the completion of legal procedures to revoke their
citizenship. What is said regarding the route that
those going to Israel will take is that
the traveler from Iraq will go by air
to Cyprus and from there to Haifa by sea.

Enemies of the Arabs, whether in Israel or anywhere else
The Jews cause disturbances, disturb the peace, and live off security
And they destroy, sabotage, and kill whenever they find a way to do so
In the very recent past, the Jews threw, as we believe,
A gifted bomb from the remnants of the British army
In Al-Bataween, and the explosion of the bomb led to
Wounding and destruction, and yesterday one of the
Jews opened fire in Al-Bataween as well. And we do not
Know why, and what is the purpose of that?!?
At a time when the government has facilitated for the Jews
Their exit and established a law for them
Allowing them to leave the country and stripping citizenship
From them so they may go to Hell and a miserable fate
To where there is no return and no coming back, they began
To spread anxiety, fabricate deeds, and promote
Allegations with the aim of confusing Iraqi public opinion
And creating uproars that disturb the government and shake
The country's entity. They have persisted in this with money
And in bulk, to the point that they became reckless in it
With the utmost recklessness and showed the insolence of which they are
Worthy
The Jews did not want to leave
Iraq on the basis of stripping citizenship
From them and depriving them of returning permanently
Rather, they wanted to roam and play freely
Between Western Palestine and Iraq, so the
Law of stripping citizenship from the Jews came as a
Crushing blow that disturbed their sleep and disappointed their hopes
So they began to act out of spite, hatred, and animosity
With everything they could do
It is well known that the Jews are cowardly people
They do not appear in the light and do not wake up
They are like bats, and today they take the darkness
As a veil of malice, and deception as a weapon,
Intrigue as a means, and degradation as a
Policy; they have not left any of these types
Or any of these forms without committing them
And working upon them
They corrupted consciences, infected souls, and defiled
Spirits and dirtied hands; there is no vice
In this country except that its source is the Jews, and there is
No shame except from the planting of the Jews, and there is no
Lechery except from the Jews, and no sedition except

Jews flock to registration centers
A premeditated plan and orders from abroad according to the migration project to Jerusalem...!!!
The reluctance of Jews wishing to
renounce Iraqi citizenship and travel
outside Iraq before Passover
then their rush to the registration offices after
the end of the holiday caught the attention of many
But the truth is that the matter does not call
for surprise, as these Jews
do not leave Iraq because the doors of work
have been closed in their faces as some
of them claim, but they do so according to a plan
premeditated and orders they receive from abroad.
Dr. Josephthal, Director of
Immigrant Absorption in the Jewish Agency,
stated at a press conference held in New York
on the twentieth of last month that
the total Jewish migration from Iraq
will begin after Passover and that
the immigrants will take the air route
to hasten their departure from Iraq before
the government proceeds to cancel the permission for their migration.
Among what he also said: "The Jewish Agency
will accept Jewish immigrants from
Iraq despite the lack of allocations
for that in its budget for the year 1950, and it
will be forced to spend on their housing in
Israel 60,000,000 dollars, a matter
which will place it in a financial crisis."
[Ninety percent migrate]
The Jewish Chronicle correspondent in Beirut
claims that 90 percent of Iraqi Jews,
whose number is estimated at more
than 120 thousand, intend to renounce Iraqi
citizenship and leave Iraq. He says that
their pioneers have begun traveling now to Iran
where they take planes to
Israel.
[The role of Syrian Jews]
The aforementioned correspondent says that
the initiative of Iraqi Jews to leave Iraq
is considered the first step towards settling
the problem of the Jewish minority in Arab countries
in a final way, and he claims that
the Syrian government is now preparing a law
to strip Syrian citizenship from Jews
and allow them to leave the country.
[Camps]
We had heard before this from Tel
Aviv that representatives of the Jewish Agency consulted
with the Jewish Minister of Labor regarding the coordination
of plans to house Jews coming from
Iraq. 20,000 places will be prepared
in the current refugee camps to shelter
these dear guests..!
[A heavy burden on Israel]
The Jewish Chronicle newspaper
published in London wrote saying:
"The government of Israel has decided
to accept Jewish immigrants from Iraq
despite the fact that this creates a very
complex problem for it. This decision affects
Israel from two aspects, as the
housing of every ten thousand Iraqi Jewish immigrants
costs it 10,000,000 dollars every
month. This means that at the end of the year
when 80,000 of these immigrants
have entered Israel, it becomes inevitable
for it to spend 80,000,000 dollars
every month to house them."
The Jewish Ministry of Finance has estimated
that it will be forced to spend 2,500
dollars to house every individual of the
Iraqi Jews in Israel; in other words,
the housing operation for these immigrants
in its entirety will cost it 200,000,000
dollars!
[Reconsidering the migration policy]
The newspaper said that Israel
will allocate from the public treasury during
the next two or three years about half
of this amount, and the rest will be provided by private industries
and companies. The general rule
is that five or six years must pass
for the immigrant so they can be absorbed
into the local economy so they are no longer a burden
on the general budget or associations.
In view of the flowing stream of migration from
Iraq, Israel may be forced to reconsider
its migration policy and stop accepting
⟦line⟧ The rest on page 4 ⟦line⟧
The rest of the Jews are enemies of the Arabs
of the work of the Jews, and there is no excess or conflict
or or... except that it is from the Jews...
For the Jews are, in any case, enemies of the Arabs in general
and of Iraq in particular, whether they are in the Arab
countries and in Iraq or in Western Palestine.
They do not enjoy life nor do they settle down until
they cause corruption and disturbance and commit sins,
a nature they were imprinted with and a disposition they were fashioned
with. And if misery, pleading,
fawning, and submission appear from them, it is
nothing but the malice of their souls and their lack of resourcefulness.
But whenever the opportunity allows them, they pounce
for revenge without a compelling reason, and they resort
to spite without justification. Their creed dictates upon them
harm to the worlds, and their material, dark religion
obliges them to commit abominations for the sake of the
goal they seek. Among their rules is:
(The end justifies the means).
Take for example the Jews who thrived in
Iraq and enjoyed it; they possessed properties,
took over the markets, managed the money,
took the lion's share of living, and slept
in the country peacefully and comfortably. No one disturbed their comfort,
and no one distinguished between them and any other citizen.
They even became the ones in control
of all the country's utilities and the owners of its wealth.
No one taunted them with anything that would cause them the slightest
emotion, nor did anyone hurt them with anything
that called for any measure of pain. They were,
while in this soft state, opponents of every national movement
and a factor of destruction, disorder, confusion,
and exploitation.
As soon as the English entered the country, they became
the spies and those working to spite
the people of the country. And when the national government was established,
they came forward at the forefront, reaping the fruits of the blood of
the country's sons and picking the flowers of what jihad had planted.
Yet we said nothing but good to them, and we said that is
a nation that has passed away; to them belongs what they earned and upon them is what
they deserved. But they were not satisfied with that,
so they remained a hand for the enemies of the country and fierce opponents
on every occasion and at all times.
Whenever they could, they created disturbances
to hunt for gain for Israel; and whenever they had the chance,
they disturbed the peace to side with Israel;
and whenever they were able, they caused corruption and mischief for the sake of
Israel. Whenever opportunities arose, they destroyed
and struck out of spite against whoever opposed Israel;
and if they could, they betrayed and killed in revenge
for Israel, even when Israel was not yet a vision
or a shadow. So what are they doing now when they
see that there is an Israel and that there is a
purported small state called Israel, and that the name
of Israel has begun to echo on people's tongues
and pens? There is no doubt they are performing wonders
and doing great deeds for the sake of Israel.
So the government and the people must
be vigilant toward these Israeli strangers
who denied the grace, preferred migration,
and rose in rebellion.

Turnout for renouncing citizenship among Jews
The turnout continues to increase and the crowding intensifies at the registration center of Meir
Tweig Synagogue, where the registration of Jews wishing to renounce their citizenship is taking place. The number of
those who were registered the day before yesterday (Wednesday) reached 228 people, including 138 men
and the rest are under the age of conscription. It is understood that the Council of Ministers has revoked the citizenship of
those who had previously completed the citizenship renunciation formalities, as the committee supervising
the registration had finished auditing the mentioned citizenship renunciation forms.
Registration will continue in the other branches that were opened recently for the same purpose
to alleviate the crowding, then they are submitted from the branches to the main registration center in Meir
Tweig Synagogue where they are signed before the committee formed for this purpose.

immigrants from other regions. However,
this measure is not of much use, as
the regulated number accepted at the
present time is 12,000 immigrants per month
and the aforementioned measure may bring it down
to 10,000 per month, but the arrival
of no less than this number from Iraq
will jump the total number of immigrants to
20,000 per month, which is a huge number
that current means and crowded camps
cannot accommodate.
| What is the secret behind Iraq's position? |
Accordingly, the matter that calls for
questioning is whether the Iraqi government's
final decision to allow the Jews to leave
was for the purpose of increasing Israel's
economic troubles, especially since all indications point
to the fact that the immigrants from Iraq are the poor
Jews and their disgruntled youth, while the wealthy of
Baghdad and Basra, who form the cornerstone
of the Iraqi economy,
will remain in Iraq? ..
[ A decision that makes them beg for help ]
The Israeli authorities do not hide
the acute problems that have arisen from this
Iraqi government decision. However, they
believe that the severity of the crisis and the challenge
it entails, may result in good for them..
as this new Israeli ordeal may help
shake the Jewish world outside
Israel, as happened in the year 1948,
and thus financial aid will pour in for them
after it had dropped significantly in
the past year. »

"Every woman shall ask of her neighbor and of

so you shall plunder the Egyptians." This is not limited
to plundering the Egyptians, but every non-

Jews wishing to renounce citizenship
Their numbers increased and new registration centers opened
The work of registering the names of Jews wishing to renounce their Iraqi citizenship continued.
The registration process is supervised by the Director of Travel and Nationality Police, Mr. Muhammad Abdul Aziz.
Due to the heavy turnout at the main registration center in Mir Twayeg Church, new
registration centers were opened in churches, where lists of names of those wishing to leave
Iraq permanently are submitted to the aforementioned main registration center.
Yesterday, the names of 95 heads of families were registered along with 78 children, and the day before yesterday
280 people were registered.
The Amara Brigade police sent the names of 43 Jews who wished to renounce their Iraqi citizenship.
The number of Jews requesting renunciation of citizenship reached about five hundred, and the Travel
and Nationality Police are submitting the transactions of these individuals to the Council of Ministers.
It is known that the Council of Ministers has not yet decided on the transaction of renouncing the Iraqi citizenship
of these Jews.
After renouncing their citizenship, a Jew has the right to remain in Iraq for a period of only twenty days.

The necessity of announcing the names of
Jews wishing to emigrate
Among the Jews who wish to emigrate
from Iraq and renounce their citizenship are a large number
of those who work with some non-Jewish citizens
in clerical or accounting work
and the like, and many of them are indebted
to their employers for some amount of money - small or large.
Some of them may prepare themselves to leave Iraq
and renounce their citizenship without their employers'
knowledge, or rather, they try to ensure
no news of their intentions reaches them.
Therefore, we believe that the competent authorities should
announce the names of those whose citizenship has been revoked
a suitable time before their departure from Iraq,
so that those who have financial relations with them can work
to settle these relations in one way or another.
500 mithqals of gold between the breasts of a Jewish woman

Police combat smuggling movements
Since Mr. Abd al-Sahib, the former director of
the Desert Police, took over the Police Directorate of Diyala
Province, he has focused on its organization and instructed all
police personnel on the necessity of treating applicants
kindly and completing their business in the shortest time
He also struck at the hands of troublemakers, criminals,
and thieves, which made everyone's tongues speak
with praise for him. This is in addition to the strict
surveillance he imposed on the bridgeheads
on the borders to monitor Jews fleeing to
Iran. Since His Excellency took the reins
of affairs, he has tightened the guard on these
ungrateful, treacherous Jews who have begun smuggling
national wealth to the alleged Israel.
The police have begun seizing daily several
cars trying to escape from the direction of Khanaqin
or Mandali or the Baqubah crossing or
from other directions and presenting them
to the criminal courts where they receive their punishment.
It is worth mentioning that among those fleeing are
many women who have become skilled in smuggling
jewelry and cash amounts in their undergarments,
so much so that one of them hid gold jewelry
weighing about 500 mithqals between
her breasts. And another hid 1600 dinars in
her internal "underwear", but the alertness of the police
and their caution overcame these tricks and they were able
to arrest these traitors and were able to
find the amounts by searching the Jewish
women by Muslim women from the families of
police officers prepared for this purpose, and they were
taken to the courts to receive their just
punishment.

Search Them
The Jews are criminal people, skilled thieves, and capable burglars
So search them and be thorough in the search when they are deported or when they leave
Lest they carry the wealth of the country with them
Yesterday, the police found (500)
Mithqals of gold between the breasts of a Jewish woman
And (1600) Dinars in the (underwear) of
Another Jewish woman, through the efforts of Mr. Abdul Sahib
Director of the Diyala Governorate Police, his assistants, and those working
With him including commissioners and police officers. And we published
This news in the issue released on (Friday)
And here we are, most eager to warn
That the Jews are criminal people, skilled
Thieves and trained burglars among them, they do not leave
Any trick among tricks except they resort to it, nor
Any means among means except they use it
To smuggle money, steal it, hide it
And seize it; there is no difference for the Jews in
That whether they stayed or left, for they have no habit
Except for harm, extortion, looting, and plundering
By satanic, despicable ways full of cowardice
Baseness, lowliness, deceit, and fraud
The Jews do not want to leave anything in the country
Which they depart or the kingdom they leave
Nothing of money because the land and what is in it and
What is on it, everything moving, standing, flowing
And frozen, all belongs to Israel and the children of Israel
And people, according to their claim, are usurpers and oppressors
Because people, according to their claim, are slaves to Israel
And the children of Israel; so it is the right of Israel
And the children of Israel to exploit people and what is in
People's hands and to own what people have
And what people produced because the people and the land with them
Were created for Israel and the children of Israel
Furthermore, if Israel is unable to
Control people or own people
And what people own, then Israel must
Resort to all kinds of means and
Take every difficult path to reach the extortion of
What people have and the enslavement of people. And
Israel and the children of Israel must not shy away
From anything in this path and for this goal
Even if it leads them to give what is shameful
To give, or offering what deceives regarding
Status
This cursed materialist doctrine, devoid
Of every spiritual matter and everything moral
And heavenly, pushes them toward evil forcefully and brings them down
To vice in a descent; therefore the children of
Israel have remained with all nations as a burden on
Nations like parasites sucking blood and hoarding
Money, committing atrocities, practicing
Indecency and evil, and spreading among people
Abomination and disgrace

Purge the Stations of Jewish Carpenters
These are thieves and criminals who intend harm
In the railway customs stations, customs warehouses, and other departments of state institutions, there are many Jewish carpenters. Among them are rebellious Iraqi Jews, and others are foreign Iranian Jews, and some are from other places working in these locations, opening crates - merchants' goods crates - for customs purposes. Since all these Jews are, in our belief and the belief of all people, criminals and thieves, and it is feared, moreover, that they might place things in these crates that could bring great harm and grave danger to Iraqi merchants and the country, it is mandatory to remove these thorns and replace them with other Iraqis who are currently wandering in cafes without work.
Employing the loyal sons of the country who are in dire need of work is better and more beneficial than employing these corruptors whose evil is feared and whose treachery is not safe. The sons of Iraq, who are the people of the land and its reformers, they and their fathers before them, are more deserving than others of living in the place where their bodies grew and their fathers and grandfathers are buried.
As for the intruders, the rebels, and the ungrateful, renegade Jews, they should belong to hell.
The strange thing is that most of the merchants concerned are even afraid of complaining about these Jews and fear them lest they inflict more harm upon them than they already do, because they are persistent people and have ways of fraud and deception that lead them to their goals. Therefore, we see these merchants patiently enduring the bitterness of what they suffer from them, fearing them greatly, and even maneuvering and trying to endear themselves to them.
We desire those in whose hands this matter lies to remove these rabble from the path of the sons of the nation and open the way for the unemployed carpenters from among the sons of the country.
The necessity of publishing the names of Jews whose citizenships are revoked
To guarantee the rights of the sons of the people who have financial
ties with them and to protect their money
In a previous issue, we requested the officials to publish the names of the Jews who registered their names to request the revocation of their Iraqi citizenship so they can be deported to their government, with whose fate they have linked their own.
We said that many Iraqis have various transactions with most of these Zionist emigrants, and not publishing their names is something that causes total harm to any Iraqi citizen who has business with them. Most of these transactions involve mortgages and claims that their owners cannot obtain if the names of these Jews, who will soon depart from Iraq, remain a secret unknown to the Iraqi public. For the sake of this serious issue, we return to repeat our request to the relevant departments of the necessity to hasten the publication of these names for a sufficient period before their departure, so that whoever has a relationship with them or an account in their liability can take the necessary measures and procedures to settle all that is due to them, thus preserving the rights of citizens and safeguarding their money.
The rest—search them
And this is his disposition and this is his nature, it is not possible
and it will never be possible for him to be purified of his impurities, nor
to be rid of his filth, nor to abandon
his evils, nor for his side to be trusted, nor to
tolerate him in anything, because tolerance with him
leads to perdition, and breaking away from him leads
to ruin. Nations before us have tried that,
and we have tried this in the past,
and here we are suffering from the bitterness of tolerance
now in the present.
The Jews are now leaving our country to where there is
no return, and to Hell and a miserable fate, but
there should be strictness in searching them because they are capable
of reducing the quantity and increasing the value, for
the Iraqi Jew might be able to carry with him
what is estimated at tens of thousands of dinars
without that being seen or noticed by
substituting pearls for gold, diamonds for silver,
paper for gold and silver, and for
small denomination papers, a single paper
or several papers of large
denominations.
The Jew will not carry with him mattresses
and furniture, but he carries with him jewel necklaces,
pearl beads, and large banknotes,
and these things he can hide from
the observers and from hands in various ways
and strange satanic states and with measures that may not
come to mind and are only reached by someone
given supernatural intelligence and piercing insight. Therefore, what
we must do is conduct the search on these
rebellious renegades with the utmost vigilance, severity,
and precision. Search their bags and turn them over thoroughly,
and look into them for a long time, and search the cavities
that may be created in them, their heels, their linings,
the thick and the soft parts of them. Search the clothes,
their linings, and every part of them, the sleeves
and their folds. Search everything and every thing in them.
Do not leave anything out of them, neither small nor large,
neither a small thing nor a large thing. Search the women with precision
and skill, and search the men with cleverness and severity.
Search their frames and examine their bodies,
and probe into the most obscure places of their bodies
and their frames so that they do not smuggle anything. Exert
effort in that and praise everything that occurs to you
to do in the searching and probing, so that perhaps
you can limit their activity and stand
to some extent in the way of recovering what they steal
and smuggle.
