"Hallazgos de artefactos judíos en un sitio de excavación en Tayma, Arabia Saudita. Tayma fue un oasis judío durante la era preislámica. Fue el hogar del poeta judío Shmuel Ben Adiya, famoso por su lealtad incondicional hacia el Príncipe Imru al Qais en el siglo VI.

Tayma, junto con Khaybar, eran los dos oasis más importantes en la región de Hejaz (Arabia Saudita moderna) que solían tener una fuerte presencia judía hasta la caída de Khaybar en 628 (4388 - 4389 en el calendario hebreo) cuando los primeros musulmanes conquistaron la fortaleza y expulsaron a la mayoría de la población judía."

Tayma, along with Khaybar were the two most important oasis in the Hejaz region (modern Saudi Arabia) that used to have a strong jewish presence until the fall of Khaybar in 628 (4388 - 4389 in the hebrew calendar) when the first muslims conquered the fortress and expelled most of the jewish population.

HEDIAZ / HEJAZ - local notes from SAUDI ARABIA, probably project / specimen only. The Hejaz is a region that includes the majority of the west coast of Saudi Arabia, covering the cities of Mecca, Medina, Jeddah, Tabuk,  Yanbu,  Taif and Baljurashi. It is thus known as the "Western Province". The Hejaz is the most populated region in Saudi Arabia, containing 35% of the population of Saudi Arabia. <<< In polish: Hidżaz – region historyczny w Arabii. Stolicą regionu jest Dżudda, jednak rolę głównego miasta pe��ni Mekka. Jest to ziemia święta dla muzułmanów, gdyż znajdują się tutaj Mekka i Medyna.>>>

Hejaz is one of the historical pre-unification states of what is now Saudi Arabia, and was considered to be the wealthiest and most cosmopolitan region due to hosting the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, and thus, many Muslim pilgrims who traveled to the region. He's also Saudi Arabia (Najd)'s older brother, and the two used to be quite close in their early childhood! Hejaz was always the more outgoing one, compared to the shy and awkward Najd...

The people of what is now Palestine fought for the allies during WW1 for freedom from the Ottoman Empire, with the promise of a homeland.

Instead, they got stabbed in the back at Versailles and were colonised by the Brits for 30 years.

Fought for and then were betrayed by the British Empire. But them calling for the end of a war…on the day commemorating the end of a war (that they helped win, and were then betrayed after) is “inappropriate”?
