A page from history Kings of the Children of Israel! King David had settled in Jerusalem after it was occupied by the people of Israel and they set it on fire and slaughtered its men, women, and children from among the Palestinians. When he felt secure in he turned to his cup and sipped from it sip after sip, and to his flute blowing his melodies into it.. until the intoxication of wine mixed with the intoxication of melodies.. so he forgets.. forgets his pains and his sorrows and his narrowness of soul, and hurries there was a woman bathing. But she was not a woman like all women; a tall woman with a supple figure and soft body, swaying in her bathing while water flowed over her marble body and fell drop by drop from her hair, her breasts, her knees, and her delicate fingertips.. she was a woman worthy of the King's bed! David did not know how he spent that night on the roof of his house but he remained in his place until the coquette finished her washing and put on her shirt and disappeared from his eyes, so he called his faithful servant and asked him "Who is our beautiful neighbor in the small house?. Is she not the wife of Uriah?" The servant answered "Yes, my lord, she is Bathsheba daughter of Eliam, wife of Uriah the Hittite" The King asked again "And where is her husband?" ⟦line⟧ Continued on page 26 ⟦line⟧ Arabs and Jews are now in a state of war.. there is no doubt in this despite the "truces" and despite the "negotiations" because the issue is deeper than being settled by these solutions dictated by international circumstances.. and for this it is good for us to know everything about the Jews.. their present and their past.. and this story adapted from the Torah, we understand from it some aspects of the Jewish psyche his throne and his men in the holy city, he sent for Joab the commander of his army and ordered him to cross the Jordan to pursue the Palestinians there. And Joab kissed the ground before his King.. and went out and blew the trumpet and gathered the army and marched to the task he began from the day he was appointed as commander of the army of Israel. The resistance that the Children of Israel received from the people of Palestine was a strong resistance, and David was waiting for news day by day and he was seized by distress from this war which does not end and whose heat does not subside.. and whenever his soul felt narrow to his women, he would choose from them whom to sleep with for his night. And on this night, David rose from his bed and took his flute and went up to the roof of his palace to breathe the breeze and blow his pains into his tender flute And it was not destined for the flute to issue its mournful groans on that summer night.. for when David extended his sight towards the north, he did not realize until his mouth gaped open, and his eyes froze as if they were pulled by fine threads from their sockets. And David leaned on his palm and fixed his elbow on his knee, and went into a trance like wakefulness, and a wakefulness like the trance of dreams.
from him except perseverance and sincerity Integrity. ⟦line⟧ — Why do I see you depressed of soul, my father.. — Nothing, my daughter "Najla" — But you haven't taken of your food except a little.. so what is wrong with you father? — I said nothing.. Najla had noticed since she met her father at the door this frowning that cast a shadow over his face, though she attributed that to the struggle he faces from his work however, his refusal to eat his food worried her mind and occupied her thoughts, so she began urging him to disclose what was hidden in his secret of a significant matter.. — Papa.. So Ismail raised his head and surrounded her with his gaze.. while Najla continued saying: — Won't you tell me about the matter that occupies your mind? The man began to let his gaze wander over the face of his daughter "Najla" this bright face which was surrounded by a halo of chestnut hair wavy, so it appeared in its radiance like a full moon stealing its way from between the clouds that embraced it.. then he said after he exhaled a long sigh: — And what could you do, my girl.. for you cannot repel a calamity that wants to stand alongside its peers among the calamities of fate. — Who knows, Papa.. I might be able to take precautions for it before factions break into us.. — Then let me know, my dear.. that that wall which you leaned upon to crawl in the paths of life is about to collapse.. rather, it will collapse the day after tomorrow.. — What do you mean, father..? — I mean that the manager forced me to submit my resignation tomorrow as he does not see my fitness for work after my age has extended.. so the girl held her heart while she began to catch with her eyes the glare of these words which began to stumble between the lips of her father. — Oh, the meanness.. Oh, the ingratitude.. Is it after that long service you are rewarded with this act.. is it after I spent a whole week washing his clothes and ironing them for him like a servant, he rewards us by dismissing you truly how despicable humans are, father. And tears choked her, so she hurried to put on her abaya and walked quickly seeking the outer door while she was saying weepingly: — I will go to him myself, I will measure out to him a sa' for a thousand sa'.. And she went out followed by the shouts of her father to come back.. And the night passed, and how long it is for everyone with sorrow.. then the morning breathed.. and the sun's rays fell — among what they fell upon — on two scenes from this world.. The scene of Ismail as he stood before his manager who began saying: — How very sorry I am, O Ismail Effendi, for everything that issued from me towards you.. you are an example of an upright employee.. sincere in performing his duty.. look, here is the order for your "promotion" which I wrote at this very hour.. go and tell the rest of the clerks that you are the link between them and me in consultations. Go.. may God protect you.. So Ismail Effendi was stunned by the change that occurred in the manager's behavior, so there was nothing from him but to raise his hands to the heavens in supplications with which he overwhelmed his manager of noble traits.. As for the second scene.. it is the scene of the girl "Najla" as she sat before a polished mirror looking in shock at those faint blue lines left by sadness and pain under her eyes after a night.. Then she began to pass her hand over the surface of her smooth cheek while she was mumbling talking to herself: — Oh God, how far today is from yesterday.. Then she broke into sobbing, and with an eye filled with tears she raised both her hands toward the heavens and began sending up her supplications and prayers.. And how different were her supplications and her father's supplications.

I will have you carry my message to Joab,
my commander."
Night came, and Uriah ate,
and David ordered wine for the pious man, filling
a gold cup for him, and another cup,
and another, until he became drunk and elated.
Then he arose, but he did not go down to his house, nor
did he see his wife's face, but rather
he wept at the king's gate until morning,
shouting: "How can I eat
and drink while the sons of my nation are fighting
in the desert?"
The king realized that there was no use for
"Uriah," for he would not enter his house
nor sleep with his wife; neither
longing drove him, nor did wine tempt him.
When morning came, he sent him
to the war once again,
and summoned the beautiful (Bathsheba).
The woman entered the king's chamber
with tears in her eyes, and said:
("Behold, my husband, my lord, came
to the city but did not go down to his house and did not
come in to me, and I have become
a certain scandal among the women.")
David returned to his first question:
("Do you love your husband, O Bathsheba?")
The woman answered immediately:
("You, my lord, are greater than
all men.")
She fell silent and lowered her head.
David understood something new from
her words.
He went to his hall, and summoned
his servant, and gave him a letter to
Joab, the commander of the army: ("If
my servant comes to you, place Uriah in
the forefront of the fiercest battle and withdraw
from behind him with your troops so he may be struck
and die.")
⟦line⟧
Uriah died, and David took
his wife among his wives, and she was
preferred by him over all the women.
History knew the beautiful (Bathsheba),
and the children of Israel glorified her
because she was the mother of Solomon the Wise,
the king who built the Temple of the Lord,
whose wall the Jews took as a
(Wailing Wall) for themselves, where they weep
over the kingdom of Israel throughout generations
and generations.
Kings of the Children of Israel (Continued)
The servant said, "He has gone to
the war, my lord.."
And David sighed with relief and pain.
Does a woman live without a man..
having all this beauty and this
charm! What a miserable, wretched woman.
Does this delicious body turn upon
a cold bed every night.. so
it neither enjoys passion, nor does
it please anyone with what God has deposited in it
of magic and charm.. Curse this
hateful war which
never ends..
And the servant opened his mouth.. and spoke..
"If it seems good in the eyes of my lord
the King, then I will go and bring her
to my lord, so that perhaps her conversation
might take away my lord's boredom, and perhaps
my lord's conversation might be pleasant to her heart
which is grieving for her expatriate husband."
And David's face brightened.. and he nodded
to the servant.. and the servant understood everything.
After moments, the charming woman was in
King David's chamber.
And in David's chamber, the wife
forgot her husband.. and from the kisses of
his mouth she was drunk until morning, and between
his arms she was lost in the bliss of existence.
And morning came.. and
"Bathsheba" had returned to her home.
And evening came, and "Bathsheba" was
between the arms of her king.. and for them
the cushions of pleasure became soft!.
And one day "Bathsheba" came
to the King's bed with a weeping heart
and tearful eyes.. and she said..
My lord.. I am pregnant.. and the
King was slightly disturbed and grief seized him
for her sake.. for her husband had been fighting
the Philistines for six months.
So how would her situation be if he returned
and found her two, three, or five months
pregnant, or found a newborn
on her shoulder?!.
And David worked his mind for a moment..
then he raised his eyes to the worried woman
and said, "Do you love your husband, O
Bathsheba?" And the woman answered
immediately: "For you, my lord,
are greater than all men..
but he is my husband"!.
And on the following day, the King's messenger
was galloping across the land to
Joab, the army commander, to inform him that
the King was in need of Uriah
the Hittite, right then and there.
And "Uriah" returned to Jerusalem,
concerned by the King's matter.. and when
he entered unto him, he kissed the ground
before him.. then he stood up straight having
bowed his head in reverence to the King.
And David said: "O Uriah..
news has reached me of your prowess in
the war and your merciless use of the sword
on the necks of the Philistines..
and I have sent for you to grant you
an honor I have not granted except to my commander
'Joab', that you eat of my food
and drink of my wine, and tell
me the news of the war which will gladden
my heart."
And "Uriah" prayed for the King's
long life. Then he sat before him
and began telling him the story of the war.
When he finished his talk,
the table had been prepared, so he ate
and drank.
And David said: "Now, O
Uriah, go down to your house and wash
your feet and spend your night in
your bed.. for tomorrow you return to
the war."
And Uriah went.. but he did
not go down to his house, nor did he wash
his feet, nor did he see his wife with his own
eyes, but rather he slept at the King's door
among his servants and guards.
And morning came, and the King learned
of what had happened with "Uriah",
so he became very angry, and called him and said
to him reproachfully:
"O Uriah, did you not just come from
travel yesterday? Why did you not go down
to your house? Does your wife not
have a right over you?"
And Uriah lowered his head, overwhelmed by
the King's kindness until it shamed him, then
he said: "My lord, the people of
Israel are staying in tents,
and my lord Joab the commander and the King's servants
are camped in the open desert,
and war brings death to them at
every moment of day or night,
so how could I go down to my house to eat
and drink and lie with my wife?
By your truth, my lord, and by
your pure soul, I will never do
this thing."
And David trembled for a moment from
this definitive answer, then he controlled
himself and feigned satisfaction and patted
"Uriah" on the shoulder and said:
How good is your soul, O Uriah, and how
pure is your heart; be my guest then
for two days, and do not forget to pass
by your house at some hour of the
day so you may see your wife's face.
And show her your face so she may be assured of
your safety."
And Uriah went, and David called
his servant and instructed him to watch the poor man
by day and by night.
When two days had passed, the servant returned
to his master and informed him that Uriah
remained at the King's door, and did not go down to
his house either. So the King became very distressed.
Then he called Uriah to him and said to him,
"Today, O Uriah, I hold a grand
banquet for your farewell. So you shall eat of
my food and drink of my wine, then
you shall go to your house to bid farewell to
your wife and come to me in the morning."

It is known that the first convoy, comprising 160 Jews, will leave Baghdad this morning aboard two American planes under the supervision of an official from the Iraqi Travel Department. The aviation companies that undertook their transport announced that each Jew is allowed to bring 30 kilos for free and 20 kilos for additional fees. As for travel fees, they are 12 dinars for adults, 6 dinars for those between 3-12 years old, and 1/200 for those under three years old. It was learned by (Al-Zaman) that the Council of Ministers has approved a number of lists for revoking citizenship from Jews wishing to emigrate from Iraq, and three new lists will be presented to the Council at its meeting this evening to strip citizenship from 543 Jews. The Constitutional Union! All of them keep away, there used to be seven nations And each of these nations strove for division And despite all these nations, the Jews established a "homeland" While we remained preoccupied with distractions, every few months a new fad!. My son, understand that generation among us was like a tree The wealthy people rose up while we remained in the dust And the fault is we became like tar stuck to raw cloth The tar is these nations and the cloth is England!!!.. And they all have known England for years It never kept a promise, nor was it fair with two It seeks its own benefit and loves to control the people It cares not for principle nor does it know loyalty or religion My son, look at the Arabs, don't you see what state they are in? They lost Palestine and still say "I have men" And when it used to form, the earth would fear it And if a hero among them shouted, his shout would shake generations What a shame we became slaves among our own people And we were masters, as all creation knew of us Is it possible that Arab women no longer give birth to men?

Al-Jarida - The Iraqi Times Issue - 11521 Date - March 19, 1950 JEWISH EXODUS BEGAN TO-DAY Two Skymasters manned by U.S. crews of the Near East Overseas Charter Inc., took off from Baghdad Airport this morning carrying 160 Jewish men, women and children with a small number of men of mili- tary age, bound for Cyprus.

Newspaper: Sada al-Ahali Number: 203 Date: May 21, 1950 The People's Mail Regarding the travel of Jews whose Iraqi citizenship has been revoked It has come to our attention regarding the travelers whose Iraqi citizenship is being revoked that they may be debtors in Iraq, and in such a case they evade paying the debt upon their departure without the knowledge of their non-governmental creditors. It is possible to avoid such losses incurred by creditors by announcing the names of Jews preparing to travel in certain fixed locations, or in newspapers if that is possible, so that it becomes easy for those who have debts against such individuals to collect their debts at the appropriate time. « N »
Newspaper: Al-Akhbar Number: 2850 Date: 22 - 5 - 1950 60 thousand Jews Want to travel from Iraq to Israel The second batch travels today The second batch of Iraqi Jews who have been stripped of their Iraqi citizenship will depart Baghdad this afternoon or on Monday morning. Their destination will be Cyprus, like the previous batch, and from there to Israel! Their travel will be via American (Sky Master) type aircraft. This batch consists of 231 people, excluding their sons and daughters who are under 18 years of age. We have learned that the consideration of stripping the citizenship of another number of Jews will not take place this week due to the Israelite community's holiday on Monday and Tuesday on the occasion of Shavuot (the Feast of Revelation), and then the holiday of 9 Sha'ban. It is said that the number of Jews registered so far has reached 60,000 out of a total of 120,000 Jews in Iraq. The registration process became active after the departure of the first batch to Cyprus. It was noted that the Jews of the first batch took more underwear and outerwear with them than any other type of luggage. They were searched at the airport, and the search took about four hours. We have been informed that the airline company transporting the Jews has allocated six planes to fly in two groups, with three planes flying in each group. Returning from Egypt Jerusalem [INA] - Two planes landed here yesterday carrying 54 Palestinian refugees who were residing in Egypt. They comprise the first group of the six hundred refugees whom the Arab League decided to return to their homes at their own expense. Other groups of these returning refugees will arrive daily at their homes.

The first convoy of Iraqi Jews and how it was received in Israel Jerusalem: At the end of last week, the first group of Iraqi Jewish immigrants arrived at Lod Airport bound for Israel, comprising 250 Jews. David Ben-Gurion, the Israeli Prime Minister, greeted them with a speech in which he called on members of the "Mapai" party to redouble efforts in order to revitalize the country to absorb the new arrivals. It is expected that about 4,000 immigrants from Iraq will arrive in Israel every month. Near East Air Transport hopes to be able to allocate ten "Skymaster" aircraft | to transport immigrants from Habbaniya Airport (which is the British Air Force airport near Baghdad) to Lod via Cyprus. The immigration movement organized by Israel by air is considered the largest movement of this kind, and will lead to an increase in Israel's population at the end of the year by nearly a quarter of a million, so that the population in Israel after the migrants move there will be one million five hundred thousand people, and the arrival of 40,000 immigrants is expected before the end of this year.

Newspaper - Al-Zaman Number - 1622 Date - May 20, 1950 Departure of the Third Convoy of Jews Delayed Reasons for the Delay in Nationality Revocation Procedures It was expected, as we previously indicated, that three planes carrying 240 Jews whose Iraqi nationality had been revoked would leave Iraq yesterday, but the departure of these individuals has been delayed due to the delay in the issuance of the final decision for their deportation from Iraq, and the deportation process of these individuals may be completed today.. As for the progress of the registration process for Jews wishing to have their Iraqi nationality revoked, 240 people were registered yesterday, including 156 adults and 84 minors, and it was learned that there are some problems that emerged during the application of the special law regarding the revocation of nationality for Jews wishing to do so, and these problems are what caused some delay in the progress of transactions at the present time. For example, how to process the revocation of nationality for widows and minors whose husbands and fathers have died or fled Iraq illegally, and whether these follow their guardian or legal representative. Likewise, the text of the law stipulated the necessity of revoking Iraqi nationality for Jews who try to escape from Iraq illegally, but does this text apply to those among them who are below the age of majority? We have learned that the specialized departments have referred these problems to the Legal Codification Bureau to express its opinion on them and clarify how to apply the law in such cases, and clarifications on this matter may be issued soon.

Transactions for the revocation of citizenship We have been informed that a proposal has been submitted by official authorities to the Council of Ministers providing for the creation of a directorate for the revocation of citizenship from Jews residing in Iraq, and while we point this out with complete reservation, we add that there is another proposal whose substance is that it is better for the revocation of Iraqi citizenship to be carried out for the Jews of Iraq all at once under a special law, provided that the way remains open for those among them who wish to naturalize with Iraqi citizenship a second time, similar to what is followed with foreigners who wish to be naturalized.
