I have removed the following, which I cannot find any evidence for (just OR?):
"The entire population was refugees of Turkic-Shiite-Muslim background, and were known to the Arabs as Tatars or simply Turki. Later, many converted to Sunni Islam, and by an order from the Ottoman rulers, their town was officially built in 1912. A year later, most of the men in the town joined the Ottoman army against the Arab revolution in Egypt and fought in the Bulgarian war in 1913. Families of Umm Al-Faraj have distinct names that differs from other Palestinian-Arabs. Since the village is located in the region of Akko, and because Akko was part of the
province of Beirut during the Ottoman period unil 1918, the population spoke the Lebanese dailect and practice a Turco-Lebanese culture; modern Palestinians of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip generally consider the entire population of Akko as Lebanese because of having Lebanese accent."
Very interestingly, they identify Umm al-Faraj as the Faraj on Hütteroth and Abdulfattah, p.
193, even though Hütteroth and Abdulfattah, themselves just give Farja 7?
However, Rhode, 1979, p. 77 also identify Faraj with Umm al-Faraj (he gives gridno. 161/267), so I’ll accept that.
However, there are other mistakes in the article, e.g.:
1153 CE should most probably be 1253 CE
Guérin 1880, 7:44–45 should be Guérin 1880, 7:45–46
Frankel 1988:254 should probably be Frankel 1988:264
Note that the one reference that Ellenblum refers to, Strehlke, 1869, pp.
84-85, No. 105; refer also to what happened in 1253 CE, not 1153 CE.
