Jewish Pilgrims Praying at al-Buraq Wall in Jerusalem, the 1920s
Taken in the late 1920s, this photograph shows Jewish pilgrims praying at the al-Buraq Wall, located in the southern part of the western wall of al-Aqsa Mosque near al-Mughrabi Gate. The photograph was taken from the honorary corner before it was demolished after the occupation of Jerusalem in 1967. Zionists and Jews call the wall "The Wailing Wall", although the wall is an Islamic endowment, and since the end of the 19th century, Jews have been trying to control and claim the Wall but failed, and after the British Mandate in 1917, Jews started to have control over the Wall, which resulted in the 1929 Buraq Revolution, a revolution to defend the Wall from Judaization, which led to the creation of an international commission of inquiry that confirmed Muslims' right to the Wall. However, after the Naksa "The June War 1967" and the occupation of Jerusalem, Zionists took control over the Wall and demolished the adjacent al-Mughrabi Quarter, and Judaized the features of the place and completely changed it.
