The cemetery in Nesher where al-Qassam is buried was never Balad ash-Shaykh's cemetery it was Haifa's cemetery. al-Qassam was citizen of the city Haifa.. This cemetery was built in 1934 in the middle of the town Nesher. The citizens of Nesher and Yagur begged the Waqf not to do it, but they ignored they request. This cemetery used by the citizens of Balad ash-Shaykh to shoot to the Huts of Nesher. Hanay (talk) 03:34, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
בית הקברות בו נקבר עז אדין אל קאסאם אינו של בלד א-שייח'
[edit]
בית הקברות המוסלמי שנמצא באמצע העיר נשר בלב שכונת נשר שהוקמה בשנת 1923 אינו בית הקברות של בלד א-שייח'. זה בית קברות מוסלמי של חיפה שהוקם בשנת 1934 בלב השכונה היהודית במקום בו שכנו לפני כן צריפי תושבי נשר. תושבי נשר ויגור התחננו בפני הווקף לא להקים את בית הקברות שם, אבל הווקף לא נענה. בית הקברות היה מקור להתקפות של תושבי בלד א-שייח' על תושבי נשר וצריפיהם. מתוכו נהגו תושבי בלד א-שייח' לירות לעבר נשר. כתבה בנושא ניתן לראות בארכיון של העיתון "דבר" כאן עז א-דין אל קאסאם נקבר בבית קברות זה כי הוא היה תושב העיר חיפה , וזה היה בית הקברות המוסלמי של חיפה. לבלד א-שייח' היה בית קברות אחר על ההר שקיים עד היום בלב שכונת תל חנן בעיר נשר . לצערי ניסיוני לתקן את המידע המופיע באנגלית על תמונת שער בית הקברות לא צלחו, עם תמונה זו אפילו לא ניסיתי. חשוב שהאמת לכל מי שרוצה לדעת אותה תהיה ידועה Hanay (talk) 03:52, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
- You have one source in Hebrew (that you didn't even bother to provide a translation for, for your fellow editors). On the other hand, we have the following:
- Sacred landscape: the buried history of the Holy Land since 1948 (2002) by Mêrôn Benveniśtî: "The most well known abandoned cemetery is located in the large village of Balad al-Sheikh near Haifa, now the town of Nesher. Its reputation stems from the fact that it is the burial place of Sheikh 'Izz a-Din al Qassam..." (page 297)
- Zionism and Arabism in Palestine and Israel (1982) by Elie Kedourie and Sylvia Kedourie: "The funeral cortege which leftHaifa for the Muslim cemetery at Balad al-Shaykh became an impressive national demonstration ... his grave [Qassam's at Balad al-Shaykh became a place of pilgrimage..." (page 72).
- Hamas: The Islamic Resistance Movement (2010) by Beverley Milton-Edwards and Stephen Farrell: "Hours later the cortege arrived at Qassam's final resting place in the cemetery of Balad el-Sheikh." (page 27)
- Constructing a sense of place: architecture and the Zionist discourse (2004) by Haim Yacobi: "The grave of Iz A-Din el-Kassam in Balad ash-Sheikh graveyard, Nesher, Haifa." (page 287)
- Comrades and enemies: Arab and Jewish workers in Palestine, 1906-1948 (1996) by Zachary Lockman: "The Nesher cement factory, where as we have seen the issue of Hebrew labour surfaced so contentiously in the 1920s and 1930s, was located near Balad al-Shaykh, and the village's cemetery ontained the tomb of Shaykh 'Izz al-Din al-Qassam ..." (page 353)
- There are also many many more sources saying that the cemetery Izz al-Din al-Qassam was buried in, the one shown in this picture, was the cemetery of Balad ash-Shaykh. That it is now in Nesher does not mean it was always in Nesher. Nesher's lands no doubt expanded to encompass those of Balad ash-Shaykh after it was destroyed, just as has been the case with other Jewish localities situated beside Palestinian Arab localities that were destroyed in 1948. I'm sorry, but I prefer what tens of reliable contemporary English-language sources have to say about this subject over what one Hebrew language newpaper report in the early 20th century has to say about it.
