A despicable Jew assaults a sheltered Muslim woman
In the middle of Rashid Street near the Marjan Mosque
And falls upon her kicking, attempting to take her by force in a taxi
⟦line⟧
One of the delegates of this newspaper witnessed at
9:45 yesterday evening a very strange
incident; for while he was walking
near the Marjan Mosque square, a person
was attempting to pull a woman and make her ride in a taxi
by force while she was trying to get away from him,
and she began cursing and insulting him, then she took off
her (sandals) and struck him with them, so he did nothing but
kick her with his foot and slap her. When the
members of the police patrol and the delegate of this newspaper
rushed to the scene of the incident to rescue her from
his hand, he fled running, so the members of the police patrol
pursued him and caught him at Ras al-Qarya.
He was taken to the Sarai police station,
and the assaulted woman went to the police station
as a complainant with the witnesses. It turned out
that this aggressor is a despicable Jew named
Aziz Manshi, and he stated that he did not attempt
to assault her, but was only informing her that
the car owner was calling her. It was decided that
the court would hear this case (today).
Everyone attended at the appointed time, and after
the proceedings, the Baghdad Penal Court sentenced
the criminal to (two days) imprisonment.
So to prison, O criminal! And we congratulate the police
for pursuing the likes of this reckless person who
does not know the value of honor, and we hope to fight them
by all legitimate means to protect people's
honor.

Smuggling of Jews
Khalis - To the Al-Yaqadha correspondent by telephone:
Khalis police were informed on the evening of
last Tuesday of the presence of Jews attempting
to flee to Iran, in the lands of
Al-Ghurfa in Arab Ibrahim Al-Ajjan, so the
Police Assistant Mr. Mahmoud Al-Samarrai
and a group of police rushed to the mentioned place where
they arrested the Jews who in turn confessed
to the intention of fleeing, and they mentioned the name Hikmat
Hassan Al-Ali with whom they agreed - according to
their statement - to smuggle them for a sum of 160
dinars in advance to deliver them to Iran, and the
mediator in that agreement was the Jew Saul
Dallal, and he mentioned that there is a society
whose mission is smuggling Jews, and the investigating
judge issued an order to detain them until 29-4-950
preparatory to their trial, and another order for the arrest
of Hikmat Hassan Al-Ali and Saul Dallal
As for the Jews who were arrested, they are
seven people: 4 men, a woman,
and two children!
* The bulletin issued by the Baghdad Chamber of
Commerce indicates that (only) 13 Jews
are senior members and directors of the Chamber.
Does this mean that the Jews are a persecuted minority
as the correspondent of the "Iraq Times" claims!?

Come and see those with whom we are afflicted
Iraqi trade is controlled by a group of
Zionists; most members of the Baghdad Chamber of Commerce are Jews
The second president of the Chamber of Commerce is Haskail Shantoob, the director is Yaqoub Balbool, and the members are
Ibrahim Hayim Moallem Ishaq, Ibrahim Mukamal, Khedhouri Meir Lawi, Manshi Shaul
Shashoua, Youssef Nassim Abboudi, the accountant Saleh Daoud, the supervisor Nouri Zilkha,
the general secretary Shua' Dallal - and the typists Elias and Naji Shwaihet - and the general translator Eliyahu
Murad - and the office boy Naji Shami ???!!!
Is it right, after we have titled this piece
with these names, to say that we deserve to
live and that we truly want to save Palestine,
and that we are aware of what is ours and what is owed by us, and that we are a people
who have shaken off their lethargy and realized the facts,
and known the people and taken matters into account.
No, a thousand times no; it is not right for us after this to
claim that, because it is a claim with no foundation.
It is more fitting for us not to expose ourselves nor
make ourselves a laughingstock for people and a mockery for the world,
looking at us as simpletons, fools, and primitive
folk or idiotic simpletons. Rather, we must
be silent in bitterness and admit to all people
that we do not have the capability that qualifies us
to manage our affairs upon which our lives
depend. Let people say of us that the folk
know and understand and are disappointed, but they
are weak, having no power to undertake what
they want, and that they have been prevented from what they desire,
and in any case, they are ruled by force, and by that
our excuse is broad and the space for apology
opens before us.
As for us letting our tongues loose and filling our mouths
stating that we have what we want, that requires from us
work, diligence, and proof in every field.
Countries are built on economies, and trade is the
soul of the economy. Chambers of Commerce are its hand in
secret and in public, and they are the pivot between the government
and merchants, between the domestic and the foreign, and between
the market, the factory, the farm, and the store. The Baghdad
Chamber of Commerce occupies the heart of the capital and upon it
the work in Iraq revolves, but
unfortunately, Judaism has spread within it and Zionism
has occupied its positions until it would seem to anyone
who views it that it is a branch of Tel Aviv in
Iraq.
Iraq engaged in war against the Zionists,
so all Jewish elements everywhere conspired against it.
Therefore, it is not reasonable for the Jews to monopolize
Iraq's economies and claim to care for sincerely patriotic citizens.
There is no greater evidence for this than the rush of Iraqi Jews
to abandon their nationality and their rapid scramble
to declare their renunciation of Iraq and Iraqi nationality.
As we criticize in this piece, we criticize the Arab merchants, members
of the Chamber in Baghdad, for their oversight of this aspect
and their lack of attention to this side; otherwise,
Arabs in need of work are many,
filling every place, killing their time with
unemployment and hunger. We would not have written this
had the truth about the Jews not become clear to us in what they showed
of overt renunciation and treacherous malice upon the announcement of
the law accepting the revocation of nationality for Jews.
Therefore, will those Arab leaders in charge of the
Chamber of Commerce reflect on this matter?
And will this aspect provoke the feelings of Arab merchants
inside the Chamber and out, to save Iraq's trade,
protect its secrets, and safeguard it from
Israeli tampering that has not ceased to work toward
the destruction of the country.
50 Jewish men and women intend to flee
all carrying a few bags of what is light to carry and high in value
Al-Husun's lens records their photos in Basra
The reader can see in
the two photos published with
this piece, which were taken by
Al-Husun's lens in Basra,
a convoy of Jews who
intend to flee to Iran.
In the first photo, a number
of the referred-to Jews are seen,
and in the second, their
belongings are visible. If the reader notices
that the number of Jews in
this convoy exceeds
fifty Jews, and the small amount of
their luggage, they would conclude that in
these bags is what is light
to carry and high in value, which they carry
with the aim of fleeing.

Jews whose citizenship was revoked
Requesting orders for their deportation from Iraq
A number of Jews whose Iraqi citizenship was revoked submitted a petition to His Excellency
the Minister of Interior and a copy of it to the presidency of the Israelite Community in Baghdad, stating
therein that they had previously submitted applications to revoke their citizenship under Article One of
the Law Supplementing the Decree for the Revocation of Iraqi Citizenship No. 62 of 1950 during the first
week of the start of registration occurring between the 16th and 23rd of last month and have completed all
formal procedures, and they plead for the application of Article Four of the aforementioned law as
they have become unemployed and are suffering the hardship of unemployment and need.
Article Four of the law stipulates the following:
"The Minister of Interior must order the deportation of everyone whose Iraqi citizenship has been revoked
under Articles One and Two unless he is convinced, based on sufficient reasons, that his stay in Iraq
temporarily is a matter necessitated by a legal judicial necessity or the pressure of officially documented
rights of others."

Lebanon refuses the travel of its Jews to Israel
Cyprus 26 - Middle East News Agency -
The Government of Lebanon refused to authorize Lebanese Jews or a group of them to travel to
Israel, believing that the purpose of their travel is to increase the number of Israel's citizens. This
refusal came as a response to the request of the Federation of International Red Cross Societies in Beirut for authorization
for a number of Lebanese Jews to travel to Israel as a result of a request from the Israeli departments themselves.

How many will be the number of those wishing
to renounce Iraqi citizenship among the Jews?
Despite the heavy turnout of Jews requesting
to drop their Iraqi citizenship and their desire
to leave Iraq, many indications have shown
that the number will not reach the percentage that
some anticipate. Al-Hatif's representative asked
an expert source for its opinion on what the
number of those wishing to drop Iraqi citizenship
and leave Iraq among the Jews might reach.
This source stated that it does not believe
the number will exceed (5000) persons,
especially since the trends of these applicants
have become clear by now, and they are about to
be known, even if some of them have not
registered their request yet.
Salaries of Retired
Jews
The Pensions Directorate circulated a letter stating
that the Iraqi Jew who leaves Iraq by choice
or leaves it illegally, his citizenship shall be
revoked according to articles one, two, and three
of Law No. 1 of 1950. Therefore, pension salaries
must not be paid to those covered by the provisions
of the aforementioned law, nor to their agents.
For this reason, we request an investigation into such
cases and verification that citizenship has not been
revoked for the retirees for any of the mentioned
legal reasons when their agent or guardian
comes to receive the pension salary for them.
Whichever official pays without conducting an
investigation in the aforementioned manner and
without the availability of definitive evidence
of the retiree's retention of Iraqi citizenship
shall be personally responsible and shall indemnify
the treasury for the amount paid.

The Jewish Doctor Jack Aboudi Shabi
And how far has his case reached
We hope for the severest punishment to be imposed on him to serve as a lesson to others
⟦line⟧
What we published in a previous issue about
the humanity (!) of the Jewish doctor Jack
Aboudi Shabi had a positive impact and a profound echo
in the souls of all members of the Iraqi people, as evidenced
by several hundred letters that landed
on the administration of this newspaper from various parts of
Iraq supporting our stance, adding further
information that strips away the quality of humanity from
the doctor who was convicted, and whose license the specialized
departments decided to withdraw and bar from practice
for a period of five weeks due to his refusal
to hand over the body of a deceased patient in
his hospital unless he received the amount of 20 Dinars
which were the fees for the week the patient did not complete
in the hospital; ultimately, the doctor caused
the death of this poor patient whom God placed
into the hands of the greediest doctor on the face
of (the earth). However, what appalled us is that some
of these letters stated that this doctor,
after being barred from practicing his work for five
weeks, did not stop working, but rather
his hospital continued to operate as usual, and his hospital
has a victim every day. The flood of letters
praising the services (!) rendered by this Jewish doctor,
which make the body of humanity shudder
and the hair of the head stand on end, is what
forced us to follow his case and how
far it has reached. We have learned that the case of this
Jewish doctor, whose passport was seized
on the night he intended to leave Iraq
under the pretext of attending a conference (!), has
been referred to the High Health Council. We
hope, as we publish this word, that the
specialized departments expand the investigation into what was committed
by this doctor who insulted the medical profession
with the disgraceful violations he committed, and that they do not hesitate
to impose the strictest punishment on him to be
an example to others. We promise the readers that we will take
all measures to obtain the conviction decision
of this doctor to publish it, so that its publication may be
a deterrent to those like him ("And whoever does
an atom's weight of good will see it, and whoever does
an atom's weight of evil will see it.")
And we know for a fact that there are a large
number of figures mediating for this
doctor who is stripped of humanity and lacking a conscience,
but our trust in the integrity of those in whose
hands the case has been placed forces us to state
that these mediations and games will
not benefit him, but rather he will receive the necessary punishment
whether he used mediators or not, and God is behind
our intent.

Jews are smuggling their immovable property to the community presidency
To ensure its revenue remains for Israel and its sons
A new method of their war against our economies
We must fight them with their own weapon, through total boycott
Readers may be surprised if we say that the Jews
Have become extreme in their Zionism and have started
To pay attention to the issue of their movable assets with an interest
That requires careful study; for since the
Jews began making preparations to flee to the land
Of their promise, they began with all vileness to stab
This country which fed them from hunger and secured them
From fear and sheltered them from the back, and they fight it
Economically and smuggle funds and excel
In devising various ruses that enable them
To smuggle their money, and this action of theirs
Is one of the most heinous crimes of ingratitude
And returning kindness with harm. They have started
Since they resolved to flee to
Israel to sell their household furniture and what they have
And convert it into large denomination banknotes
And into jewelry and gold which they smuggle
With them to Israel to return as bullets to
Our borders. The problem of selling their immovable
Property, which is estates including houses
And orchards and others, arose as most were sold for
Very cheap prices; but the Jews reconsidered
This problem which had not occurred to
Their minds, and they found a diabolical solution for it
To ensure they do not lose when selling these
Properties of theirs, and this solution is to donate these
Properties to the presidency of the Israelite community
In Baghdad in exchange for amounts they take from
The community regardless of how small, and their goal in
This is known; for in addition to obtaining
Money equal to the amounts they would
Have obtained had they sold these properties,
They ensured no loss, for if the properties
Transferred their ownership to the community presidency even
If it was without compensation or price, then the source of
Its revenue is for them (i.e., for Israel) and its sons,
While not allowing the Muslim to benefit from
These properties by buying them at this cheap price.
This is a very dangerous game if we look closely
At the reasons behind it, and it shows us
The intensity of the Jews' attachment to securing Israel's interests
And the intensity of their eagerness to fight us. Is it not enough
For us to close our eyes? We must fight them with their own weapon,
Namely through a boycott in everything. The answer
To this lies with everyone who appreciates the importance of the cause
Of Palestine, and the cause of Arabism and Islam.

A Sound Proposal
One of the professors suggested to us that
⟦illegible⟧ to the government to revoke the citizenship
of all Jews by an administrative order, and if
any of them wishes to retain his Iraqi citizenship,
he must submit an application to the government.
This method is easier for the government
and more appealing to the desires of the Jews, some of whom are hesitant
to apply for the revocation of citizenship, and who
prefer the method of fleeing, despite the
danger involved, over applying for the revocation of citizenship.
