A Glimpse into the Past: St. Georges School Football Team, Jerusalem, 1910 This photograph showcases the St. Georges School football team from Jerusalem, Israel, in the year 1910. The team, composed of young boys, is proudly displayed in their striped shirts, embodying the spirit of camaraderie and competition. Among the players, Izzat Tannous (third from the left in the second row) stands out. Izzat, a Palestinian Christian, went on to become a distinguished medical doctor and a significant figure in Palestinian politics. Izzat Tannous's life story is a testament to the complex and diverse history of Jerusalem during the British Mandate period. Born in a Protestant Palestinian family, he later became a representative of the Palestine Arab Higher Committee at the United Nations General Assembly, the highest Palestinian political body during that time. His presence in the team photo offers a unique perspective on the multicultural and multireligious fabric of Jerusalem's past. The St. Georges School, founded in 1872, has a rich history of its own. It was established by the Anglican Church to provide education for the children of the Christian community in Jerusalem. Over the years, it has welcomed students from various backgrounds, fostering a diverse and inclusive learning environment. The school's football team, like many other extracurricular activities, played a crucial role in shaping the lives of its students, both on and off the field. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the unity and diversity of the students at St. Georges School in Jerusalem during the early 20th century. It serves as a reminder of the complex history of the region and the remarkable individuals who have shaped it.
