I guess that when slavery is outlawed, only outlaws will have slaves.
Slavery is still legal in many African and ME countries.
My FRiend,
Thank you for posting that interesting excerpt from a PDF. How did you find it? [This brings back memories of discussions of a former president’s alleged birth certificate.]
The PDF seems to be an image of a seven page, single spaced, manually-typed document dated February 13, 1931. Because it is so densely packed, I unsuccessfully attempted to convert it to a text or MS Word document to make it easier to read.
I have but limited knowledge of Middle Eastern history. Can you share any information about the “JEWISH TELEGRAPHIC AGENCY LTD,” and perhaps help us to understand the groups mentioned and the context of the document?
This document, and others like it, must be very useful to historians to better understand the issues of that era, and how groups present information about those with whom they disagree.
In addition to referring to slavery in the ME, it also has interesting comments about oil pipelines and health care in the area.
All of us have have been burned too often to not be curious about the sources of documents we see on the inter-webs. I hope we can learn more about the authenticity of the document, who wrote it, the point of view of the author(s) etc.
Thanks
JGC
It is Western Civilization that outlawed and abolished slavery!
Western Civilization is under assault today. Those who are assaulting it are both stupid and evil (the latter, of course, being the ultimate manifestation of the former).
Of course. But this is a characteristic of those living in the enlightenment of Western Civilization.
Reading more carefully, I realize that the Jewish Telegraph Agency was only reporting about the “Taqiyya” of the “prominent Palestine Arab leader.” [https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/taqiyya.aspx ]
The JTA was not asserting that the British condoned the slavery and child abuse by the Palestinians

The African slave trade (centered on the Gold Coast) wasn’t created for he benefit of the slavers selling to markets in the New World. Even before settlers in the New World began importing Africans as chattel slaves, the Africans were selling brother Africans to the Arabs.
