Benches at the Wailing Wall

[edit]

I have a few pictures of Jewish worshipers using benches and chairs at the Wailing Wall in Ottoman times. One is a newspaper clipping from 1910. Could those be relevant to the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.67.54.241 (talk) 00:04, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you upload them to commons:Category:Historical images of the Western Wall – if they are better than the ones we have then maybe yes. Do you have a source dating them? Onceinawhile (talk) 06:06, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Safed riots into here

[edit]

The 1929 Safed riots article is no more than a duplication of the text we have have here, plus a couple of primary quotations which would easily fit here. There are no detailed sources which cover the Safed event separately from the overall riots. Onceinawhile (talk) 06:02, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have done this after two months without comment. Onceinawhile (talk) 23:36, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Error in description of Yom Kippur events

[edit]

The description says "Jews praying at the Wall on Yom Kippur placed chairs and a mechitza," but there is no evidence of any chairs being placed at the wall on that day. The Shaw Report only mentions the screen. I checked the given source, Negev's One Palestine, Complete, and he also only mentions a screen. The addition of "chairs" in the Wikipedia entry is unfortunate, as it makes it look like the Jews were directly disobeying the ruling of September 1925. I cannot edit it, however, as I don't have the status yet. Jstreitfeld (talk) 15:49, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I checked a couple of British reports and no mention of chairs so I removed it. Zerotalk 01:25, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Journalism and 1929

[edit]

Interesting article with some interesting additional contemporary sources on this topic:

  • Pearce, Jeff (2024-04-25). "America's reporting on Palestine has always been biased". Medium.
