Thanks for the wiki page ref on Maurice Samuel note spelling I wasn t familiar with it It s very thin and somewhat misleading but does say He and his work won widespread acclaim in the Jewish community during his lifetime You find it distressing It is neither here nor there whether he had other prejudices those cited and there are worse ones one could dig up from his many books are identical to those of Baruch Goldstein He was a contemporary source for the Jewish community abroad on the events of 1929 at Hebron If you read books instead of wasting time scanning the Internet you would have known that Samuel helped Chaim Weizman on the latter s autobiography Weizman esteemed him You don t But that doesn t mean he can t be used as a source
