ISRAELI GENERAL ELECTION TO THE SECOND KNESSET 1952
A group of 10 voter registration forms, all relating to Arab populations within the newly-formed state of Israel, 2° (350 x 247mm), printed on rectos only. (A few leaves with marginal chips and fraying.) Original blue printed wrappers, stapled top-right-hand corner (staples rusting, some fading and creasing).
ARAB ELECTORAL ROLLS, including those for Ramla. The Survey of Palestine prepared for the AAC (see lot 406) gives the population of Ramla (Ramle) as of 1944 as 15,160, of which 11,900 were Muslim and 3,260 Christian (vol. I, p.151). Under the 1947 UN Partition Plan (see lot 410), Ramla was meant to be part of an Arab state. However, its strategic location made it desirable for the Jews to occupy it, and during the Arab-Israeli War it was captured in July 1948. The vast majority of the population was driven out, though some 1,000 Arabs remained, and more were transferred to the town by the IDF from outlying Arab settlements. By February 1949, the Jewish population was over 6,000. These rare survivals show that the remaining Arab population was included in the General Election to the Second Knesset in 1952.
