Beautiful B&W photo gallery of Jerusalem in the 1920s and 30s

[Bucky]

At The Nakba, (which I think is a Palestinian word meaning "the snackbar") are dozens of old pictures of Jerusalem. Thumbnails below, because most of the pictures are

Dancing gypsies in 1927 The Dome of the Rock in 1930
Haifa harbor in 1931 The Graf Zepplin (Nazi airliner) overhead in 1931
Cute Palestinian kids The Wailing Wall of the old Temple of Soloman
A Jewish sous seller
Orthodox pilgrims walking the stations of the Cross on their knees

A great way to spend an hour thinking about how unnecessary all the killing is.
