Old saying

Where could we put this quote I found in Rediscovering Palestine:

If Hebron could boast of its glass bracelets, its big he-goat skins, and its fine grapes; if Gaza was still the granary of Palestine; if Lydda was reputed for its oil markets and mat industry; Nablus could point with pride to its soap manufactories.[1]

I think the quote is perfect for this subject, but I don't know where to include it. --Al Ameer son (talk) 17:29, 21 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

You can include it under a title that you would name it "Quotes". Khalil Al Akkawi (talk) 08:01, 11 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Soap

First, many thanks to Tiamut, who (yet again!) has started a much-needed article. Just one small point: Nablus was not the only place in Palestine which produced soap. E.g. from the Jaffa article:

The Seraya Theatre, the Arabic Hebrew theatre in Jaffa's old city, located in the "old" Seraya Building, once part of the Dajani soap factory.

...I first read about this place in Robert Fisk "Pity the nation". If I recall correctly; there he interviewed the Dajani man (then a refugee in Lebanon) who had owned that soap-factory. Perhaps the "soap"-section should be changed to say something along the lines of: "soap was manufactured several places, including in the Dajani soap factory in Jaffa. However, the place most famed for its soap-making was Nablus." Or something like that. Regards, Huldra (talk) 07:08, 25 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
