1947 Text of the
Law Drafted by the Political Committee of the Arab League against the Jews in
Arab countries
Summary
In 1947, the Political Committee of the Arab League (League of
Arab States) drafted a law which was to govern the legal status of Jewish
residents in all Arab League countries. This law had already been approved
by Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Iraq, provided that, “beginning with a
specified date, all Jews – with the exception of citizens of non-Arab countries
– were to be considered members of the Jewish ‘minority state of Palestine,’
and that their bank account be frozen and used to finance resistance to
‘Zionist ambitions in Palestine.’ Jews believed to be active Zionists would be
interned as political prisoners and their assets confiscated. Only Jews who
accept active service in Arab armies or place themselves at the disposal of
these armies would be considered ‘Arabs.’” 1
Excerpts of
Direct Quotes of the Law drafted by the Political Committee of the Arab League
• “All
Jewish citizens…will be considered as members of the Jewish minority of the
State of Palestine and will have to register [“within 7 days”] with the
authorities of the region wherein they reside, giving their names, the exact
number of members in their families, their addresses, the names of their banks
and the amounts of their deposits in these banks…”2
• “Bank
accounts of Jews will be frozen. These funds will be utilized in part or in
full to finance the movement of resistance to Zionist ambitions in Palestine

or be considered Arabs and obliged to accept active service in the Arab army.”4
• “Every
Jew whose activities reveal that he is an active Zionist will be considered as
a political prisoner and will be interned in places specifically designated for
that purpose by police authorities or by the Government. His financial
resources, instead of being frozen, will be confiscated.”5
• “Any
Jew who will be able to prove that his activities are anti-Zionist will be free
to act as he likes, provided that he declares his readiness to join the Arab
armies.”6

foregoing…does not mean that those Jews will not be submitted to paragraphs 1
and 2 of this law.”7

A scathing indictment of the world nations at large
The Arab-Palestinians Charters explicitly states that they want the State of Israel for themselves and the Jewish people destroyed.
The Arab-Palestinians actions to date has proven that they do not want peace. Why is the liberal left and many of the world nations are fantasizing and deluding themselves that the Arabs want peace.
People of the world wake up and realize what is their ultimate mission, eliminate the unbelievers.
If the world at large does not wake up now they will be next. It already has started, take off the blinders, open you eyes and look around.
No entity in the world will force a solution on Israel.
They forced and or were complicit to the Final solution in WWII with the Holocaust and the extermination of over 6 million Jewish people, men women and children.
Where were the worlds nations outcry, threats and objection when over 6 million Jewish people were being exterminated by the Nazis, men women and children? They were silent.
Where was the world nations when the Arab countries expelled over a million adult Jewish people and their children from their countries who lived there for over 2,400 years, many died due to persecution, hardship and starvation. The Arabs confiscated their assets, businesses, homes and Real Estate property 5-6 times the size of Israel (120,440 sq. km. or 75,00 sq. miles), valued in the trillions of dollars?
Where is the world nations today? Why do they ignore when thousands are slaughtered by Muslims throughout the world every month.
Today and since 1948. Israel is being threatened with annihilation, the Arabs educate their children to commit terror and violence against Israel, glorify suicide bombers and terrorists, they name streets after them and pay monthly payments to their families. When Israel defends itself from destruction, suicide bombers, thousands of missiles, violence, etc, by the Arabs, every country has something to say, threaten Israel and meddle in its business.
This is the time when nations of the world must mind their own business and stay out of Israel’s internal affairs. Only then there will be a possibility of peace.
NEVER AGAIN!!!
