  YUM! MORE unsolicited Arabic homework for you! Inbox x       Dan Walsh  1:54 PM (20 hours ago)   to Rochelle         http://www.palestineposterproject.org/poster/britain-plays-with-fire   Does this text say what I wrote at the PPPA page?   I don't do calligraphy. Also of interest is that the original poster has the Arabic printed on  backwards.    Attachments area   Preview attachment PlaysWithFire_pppa.jpg     PlaysWithFire_pppa.jpg               Rochelle Davis 9:50 AM (43 minutes ago)   to me         Not exactly, and boy, that was a puzzle.    "The British Government expresses it sincerest felicitations to the Arab World for a Happy New Year"   To me, it seems like a cut and paste "oh we found some Arabic text"  -- doesn't really make sense.       Rochelle Davis 9:51 AM (42 minutes ago)   to me         I take that back -- sorry -- hit "send" too quickly.   This is a poster published by the British Govt (maybe?) to wish the Arab World a happy new year, and it says something else in the box ... And the Irgun pasted that small piece of paper over it ...      64 British Map of Eretz Israel – Pro-Arab – with an Etzel Note 02.
