​This small advertisement was published on the back of the Israeli newspaper Doar Hayom, which was printed in Jerusalem in 1920. In the advertisement, the newspaper reports on the celebrations of the Muslim holiday of Nebi Musa to which Jewish dignitaries were invited.

The advertisement was published the day before the outbreak of the 1920 Arab riots, which took place around the Old City in Jerusalem. This advertisement demonstrates just how unexpected these riots were, since the advertisement refers to the Muslims as “our neighbours,” and makes no reference to any tension or hostility.

The advertisement was printed in the Doar Hayom newspaper that was published in Israel between 1919 and 1936. The editor of the newspaper was Itamar Ben Avi, the son of Eliezer Ben Yehuda, who was the first native speaker of Hebrew.
