Shukairy's 1956 'Southern Syria,' not a separated Palestine entity yet
June 1, 1956 Daily News from New York, New York · 45 Syria Demands: Talk On Pre-lsrael Basis By PETER WALLENBERG Syria demanded in the UN Security Council yesterday that everything the United Nations had done in the Palestine question,... the political aspects of the Palestine dispute. Shukairy tore into the British resolution that is backed by the U. S. and France and which would empower Hammarskjold to continue bis efforts toward "a peaceful settlement on a mutually acceptable basis." "The establishment of Israel, its membership in the UN and all other resolutions will have to be revoked," Shukairy said. "Then, and only then," he added, "the United Nations can look forward to a solution on a mutually acceptable basis." Israel's envoy, Abba Eban, take ever Israel and quoted Shukairy's word that Israel was just a part of southern Syria. https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/455603792/ Vochenblatt - Jun 7, 1956, p.1 Ahmed Shukairy of ...

Annotated Supreme Court Judgments [Palestine] - Volume 1 - Palestine. Supreme Court, S. Bursi, 1941, Page 52
JUDGMENT: The Appellant was charged at the Haifa Assizes with the premeditated murder of Dr. Anwar Shukeiri on the 8th of June, 1939, at Acre. He was charged incidentally with four other persons. The other four were acquitted, and this Appellant was convicted and sentenced to death. The evidence showed quite clearly that the Appellant went to the house of this doctor, told him that his wife was ill and asked the doctor to come and see her. The doctor went out with the Appellant , and in the course of their journey, outside what they call the Casino in Acre , the doctor was shot.
There was a mass of evidence which showed beyond any doubt that it was the Appellant who shot , or that , at any rate , he was one of those persons who shot at the doctor and killed him.
Mr. Asfour for the Appellant has raised two main points really. The first one is that the alleged confession made by the Appellant was wrongly admitted in evidence, and, even if disregarded, must have influenced the minds of the Court ; and the second, that the statement made by the deceased man in hospital to Sergeant Billing , that it was a person called Ahmad who who shot him was inconclusive as a means of identification of the Apelllant.
Now, a very considerable amount of argument was advanced in the Court of Trial as to whether this confession was admissible or not.
After hearing evidence the Court decided that it was admissible, and it was admitted and read.
When it came to consider its judgment and the evidence of the defence, the Trial Court decided that no weight should be attached to this statement, and it said: "We disregard it".
We think that the confession was clearly admissible. As to the argument that it must have influenced the minds of the Court, even if disregarded, it is not as though the confession had been read to a jury. It was read by a Bench of Judges which makes a considerable difference. In any case when the court said it disregarded it, it does not mean that it had second thoughts about it and held that it was inadmissible. The statement being, as the court rightly held, admissible. The point is actually irrelevant.

The British did not accept all the mufti's demands and were unable to bridge the gaps between Arab and Jewish positions. On 17 May they issued their new policy, the White Paper of 1939, based on the understandings they had reached with the delegations from the other Arab countries.
The principal points were severe restrictions on Jewish immigration to Palestine and Jewish land purchases and agreement in principle to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state within ten years - if Jewish-Arab relations would allow proper administration of the country. On the following day the Higher Arab Committee discussed the proposal. Hajj Amin chaired the meeting, which was attended by five other members.
They decided to reject the White Paper, despite the fact that it included significant gains for the Arabs. The four members who were absent from this meeting favored acceptance of the British decision; they remained in the minority. The Nashashibis' announcement that they supported the new British policy was only of marginal significance because of their political weakness. So, despite the White Paper's many benefits for Arabs, and even though most of the Arab public in Palestine viewed it as an achievement, the official Palestinian Arab leadership rejected it.
The campaign against the opposition and its leaders continued after the promulgation of the White Paper, and it did not end when the rebellion ended. Ihsan al-Nahmer, an oppositionist in Nablus, discerned after the fact that there was a pattern to the rebel actions - they killed a prominent opposition figure in each of the country's regions: Rafe' al-Fahoum in Nazareth, Dr. Anwar Shuqayri in Acre, Ahmad and Muhammad Irshein in Jenin, Hasan Sidqi al-Dajani in Jerusalem, Nassir al-Din in Hebron, and prominent leaders in the villages. This was in addition to the death sentences passed on figures such as Fakhri Nashashibi and Fakhri 'Abd Al-Hadi, which were proclaimed publicly. In this way the Husseini leadership silenced opposition political voices (although oppositionists continued to extend military and intelligence aid to the British and Zionists).

On Sunday 18th, the fortieth day after the death of Sheikh Asaad Shukeiri, a large memorial meeting was held in the Acre cinema to his memory and that of his son Dr. Anwar Shukeiri who was assassinated in Acra on June 8th 1939. It was attended by D.D.C., Acre and A.S.P. and over 400 people were present and among the many speakers were Fakhri Bey Nashashibi and Bishop Hajjear (the Archbishop of Haifa and Galilee).
The most impassioned oration was in the form of a poem recited by Ahmed Eff El Karmi whose brother had recently been assassinated in Beirut. The theme was that disillusionment and the betrayal of the Arabs caused by self interest and assassinations. The speeches were otherwise non political...

בשתי תמונות אלו טמונה ההיסטוריה של הבית הזה - אמר הערבי. הזקן הוא ראש המשפחה, השייך עסד שוקיירי ביי, והשני הוא בנו הצעיר, הרופא ד"ר אנוור שוקיירי, שנרצח בידי הכנופיות בשנת 1938 [1939], בשוק עכו, על -- היותו לדברי הכנופיות, לא רק איש נאשאשיבי, אלא גם ידיד היהודים ולכן -- בוגד." ...
השייך לקח לאשה אחת מבנות תורכיה היפות והעשירות, ושובו לעכו לקח לו אשה שנייה, ערבייה, מבנות עכו. התורכי ילדה ארבעה ילדים: ד"ר אנוור שוקיירי, שנרצח, הבן הבכור ושתי בנות, הנמצאים עכשיו בגלות לבנון. האשה הערבייה הביאה לו בן אחד, הוא עוה"ד אחמד שוקיירי. השייך הזקן וצאצאיו מאשה בתורכיה נמנו על ה"ערבים המתונים", שיתפו פעולה עם ראגב ביי נאשאשיבי ועם המלך עבדאללה ואף הטיפו להסכם עם היהודים. אולם הבן אחמד מהאשה הערביה, הצטרף למחנה המופתי וג'ימאל חוסייני, ואחר כך שימש במשך שנתיים ראש הלשכה הערבית בוואשינגטון, מאז הושבת השלום בבית שוקיירי, ובני שני המחנות לא דיברו איש עם רעהו והיו לאויבים ממש.
השנאה ההדדית הגיעה לשיאה עת נרצח צעיר המשפחה, הד"ר אנוור שוקיירי, בשוק עכו ע"י שני פלחים שליחי הכנופיות. הוא היה בדרכו הביתה מביקור חולים כשנורה ונהרג במקום. שני הרוצחים נתפסו ובעת המשפט הודו, כי נשלחו בידי המופתי לרצוח את שוקיירי הצעיר.
חקירה נוספת העלתה, כי יד אחיו, אחמד שוקיירי, ברצח הד"ר אנוור שוקיירי. הנרצח הובא לקבורות בבית הקברות המושלימי בעיר. אך האחראים לרצח לא אמרו די. מה גם לאחר שהרוצחים נידונו למוות וניתלו בכלא עכו.
יום אחד נמסר לשייך הזקן, שלא יכול היה להתאושש מהמכה שהוכה עם הרצח בנו-אהובו, כי אנשי כנופיות המופתי זוממים להתעלל בקבר בנו עוד בלילה הסמוך: הם יוציאוהו מקברו, ויתעללו בגופתו ויפזרו עצמותיו לכל רוח. אין לך עלבון קשה מזה. עם בוא החשכה ירדו השייך הזקן, בני ביתו, משרתיו וחבר ידידים לבית הקברות, הוציאו את גופת ד"ר אנוור שוקיירי וקברוהו מחדש בגן ביתו.
איש שיחי, ממשפחת שוקיירי, אף טרח למחרת בבוקר, להביאני לגן, והראה לי את הקבר מוקף צמחים ופרחים. "כאן קברנו גם את השייך הזקן, שמת פחות משנה אחרי מות בנו-אהובו, כי לא יכול היה לשאת בצער"...
אחמד שוקיירי נמלט לקאהיר ושם נכנס שוב למעגל ה"פוליטיקה". היה בשליחות המופתי פה ושם...

[...]
In these two pictures lies the history of this house - said the Arab. The old man is the head of the family, Assad Shukieri Bey, and the other is his youngest son, the doctor Dr. Anwar Shukiri, who was murdered by the gangs in 1938 [1939], in the Acre market, for - according to the gangs, not only Nashashibi but also a friend Therefore - a traitor. " ...
The sheikh took for a woman one of the beautiful and rich from Turkey, and on his return to Acre he took another wife, an Arab, from Acre. The Turk gave birth to four children: Dr. Anwar Shukeiri, who was murdered, the eldest son and two daughters, who are now in exile in Lebanon. The Arab woman brought him one son, he is the attorney Ahmad Shukeiri. The old sheikh and his descendants from the Turkish woman were among the "moderate Arabs", collaborated with Raghib Bey Nashashibi and King Abdullah and even preached for agreement with the Jews. The son Ahmad of the Arab woman, however, joined the Mufti and Jamal Husseini camp, and later served for two years as head of the Arab bureau in Washington, D.C., ever since the Shukeiri peace was disturbed, and the two camps did not talk to each other and became real enemies.
Mutual hatred reached its peak when the youngest member of the family, Dr. Anwar Shukeiri, was murdered in the Acre market by two gangs of gang emissaries. He was on his way home from a hospital visit when he was shot and killed on the spot. The two murderers were apprehended and at trial confessed that they had been sent by the Mufti to murder the young Shukeiri.
Further investigation revealed that the hand of his brother, Ahmad Shukeiri, was involved in the murder of Dr. Anwar Shukeiri. The murdered man was brought for burial in the city's Moslem cemetery. But those responsible for the murder did not have enough, even after the murderers were sentenced to death and hanged in Acre prison.
One day it was reported to the old sheikh, who could not recover from the blow inflicted with the murder of his beloved son, that the members of the Mufti gang were plotting to abuse his son's grave the next night: they would take him out of his grave, abuse his body and scatter his bones. You have no harder insult than that. When darkness came, the old man, his family, his servants and a friend went down to the cemetery, took out the body of Dr. Anwar Shukiri and reburied him in the garden of his house.
My interlocutor, from the Shukiri family, even took the trouble the next morning to bring me to the garden, and showed me the tomb surrounded by plants and flowers. "Here we also buried the old sheikh, who died less than a year after the death of his beloved son, because he could not bear the grief" ...
Ahmed Shukieri fled to Cairo and there re-entered the "politics" circle. Was on the Mufti's mission here and there ...

MURDER OF SHUKEIRI DIRECTED AGAINST 'ARAR YOUTH'
The Palestine Post, June 13 יוני 1939
Condemnation of terrorist methods was voiced by Fakhri Bey Nashashibi, deputy leader of the Arab National Defence Party, in a telegram of condolences to Sheikh Assad al Shukeiri, of Acre, on the death of Dr. Anwar Shukeiri, who was shot by terrorists in Acre on Saturday.
The message which is similar to message, that sent by Ragheb Bey Nashashibi President of the Defence Party, was as follows:
The monstrous crime which has caused the death of Anwar must be considered as directed against the courageous, loyal and educated youth. Anwar had accomplished outstanding tasks ... The people of Palestine knew him as a sincere patriot and a true Moslem. It pains me deeply, not to be able to join those who will today be honoured by carrying Anwar's coffin. Down with the criminals who have destroyed the country and caused the suffering to its inhabitants..."
