Eliyahu David Sagiv Grossman, born in 1931, in Jerusalem, British Mandate Palestine. Lives in Jerusalem, Israel.
"Up until the Independence War in 1948, I don't recall the name of Palestine. Yes, I knew it from the documents of Palestine Eretz Israel. But we called it Eretz Israel (Land of Israel). We called the Arabs - Arabs from the Land of Israel. The British called in Palestine because after all they did have a mandate and their job was to help us settle here. There was a strong resistance by the Arabs against the Jewish Settlement movement. They wanted it to be only theirs.
This ID is a document from the period I lived under the Mandate, and the fact is that the mandate was agreed upon in the Balfour Declaration which was for establishing a national home to the people of Israel." May 3, 2016. Photo by Hadas Parush/Flash90
