Photos of Damage

Points Time! (I think this is going to become a regular feature :)

The following pictures were taken in Eretz Yisrael...25 points to anyone who knows when these were taken, and who caused the damage in the pictures?

Jews? Arabs? Wild Elephants?

Bonus points for creative answers as well.








Wherever I am, my blog turns towards Eretz Yisrael

    Well, I can't guess where, but they were caused by an earthquake or earthquakes, which would tell me they're in the Jordan Valley region since the fault line runs along the border area. Am I close to being correct?

    Two guesses:

    1. Hebron 1929.

    2. A herd of wild elephants trampling a Circassian village. Curse you, wild elephants!

    This is definitely part of a movie set. Filmed in black and white. Possibly the destruction of Jericho, the seconde picture being Chiel's attempt to rebuild it, some more destruction, and then the rebuilt city (though tragically all Chiel's sons are dead, which is demonstrated by tilting houses in last photo.)

    I believe # 3 is the Churava Shul in the old city, probably post Arab Destruction??

    These are all pictures taken over the past summer in the Galil but were done specifically in black and white and reported to the media as examples of how the evil Imperialist Communist Zionist Capitalist Americans destroyed their houses in 1948.

    Either that or photoshopped pictures by Peace Now explaining how they may have been Jewish homes but were really on Arab land so therefore they were attacked by "a peaceful mob of rampaging concerned citizens who were really just trying to harvest their olive crop."

    Earthquake Damage from the 20's or 30's

    Even though it was before the richter scale was invented, it measured a 6 on the scale...

    I also read Rotter ;-)

    I nominate Kasamba for most creative! Send her a chocolate bar if you value this blog.

    The Great Disengagement of 1928!

    However, it does look like earthquake damage.
    At first, on the first pic, I thought it was Jordan's attack of the old city. But the last photo definitely looks like an earthquake.
