pening be made at the southern end of the alleyway which straddled the wall the former cul de sac became a thoroughfare which led from the temple mount into the prayer area at the wall mules were herded through the narrow alley often dropping excrement this together with other construction projects in the vicinity and restricted access to the wall resulted in jewish protests to the british who remained indifferent 77 on august 14 1929 after attacks on individual jews praying at the wall 6 000 jews demonstrated in tel aviv shouting the wall is ours the next day the jewish fast of tisha b av 300 youths raised the zionist flag and sang hatikva at the wall 73 the day after on august 16 an organized mob of 2 000 muslim arabs descended on the western wall injuring the beadle and burning prayer books liturgical fixtures and notes of supplication the rioting spread to the jewish commercial area of town and was followed a few days later by the hebron massacre 80 one hundred and thirty three jews were killed and 339 injured in the arab riots and in the subsequent process of quelling the riots 110 arabs were killed by british police this was by far the deadliest attack on jews during the period of british rule over palestine 1930 international commission main article international commission for the wailing wall in 1930 in response to the 1929 riots the british government appointed a commission to determine the rights and claims of muslims and jews in connection with the western or wailing wall and to determine the causes of the violence and prevent it in the future the league of nations approved the commission on condition that the members were not british the commission noted that the jews do not claim any proprietorship to the wall or to the pavement in front of it concluding speech of jewish counsel minutes page 908 members of the anglo american committee of inquiry at the western wall 1946 the commission concluded that the wall and the adjacent pavement and moroccan quarter were solely owned by the muslim waqf however jews had the right to free access to the western wall for the purpose of devotions at all times subject to some stipulations that limited which objects could be brought to the wall and forbade the blowing of the shofar which was made illegal muslims were forbidden to disrupt jewish devotions by driving animals or other means 3

liable to a fine of 50 pounds or imprisonment up to 6 months or both 81 during the 1930s at the conclusion of yom kippur young jews persistently flouted the shofar ban each year and blew the shofar resulting in their arrest and prosecution they were usually fined or sentenced to imprisonment for three to six months the shaw commission determined that the violence occurred due to racial animosity on the part of the arabs consequent upon the disappointment of their political and national aspirations and fear for their economic future jordanian rule 1948 1967 during the 1948 arab israeli war the old city together with the wall was controlled by jordan article viii of the 1949 armistice agreement called for a special committee to make arrangements for amongst other things free access to the holy places and cultural institutions and use of the cemetery on the mount of olives 82 the committee sat multiple times during 1949 but both sides made additional demands and at the same time the palestine conciliation commission was pressing for the internationalization of jerusalem against the wishes of both parties 83 no agreement was ever reached leading to recriminations in both directions neither israeli arabs nor israeli jews could visit their holy places in the jordanian territories 84 85 an exception was made for christians to participate in christmas ceremonies in bethlehem 85 some sources claim jews could only visit the wall if they traveled through jordan which was not an option for israelis and did not have an israeli visa stamped in their passports 86 only jordanian soldiers and tourists were to be found there a vantage point on mount zion from which the wall could be viewed became the place where jews gathered to pray for thousands of pilgrims the

scrawl hebrew lettering on it 88 the jerusalem post reported that on june 8 ben gurion went to the wall and looked with distaste at the road sign this is not right it should come down and he proceeded to dismantle it 89 this act signaled the climax of the capture of the old city and the ability of jews to once again access their holiest sites 90 emotional recollections of this event are related by
