“The inhabitants tell us that it was here in this vicinity on top of a hill which we see in a moment, that Moses got his only view of the Promised Land. The Tommies had a habit of changing the names of nearly everything with which they came in contact, particularly if they couldn't pronounce the old biblical name. So they changed the name of this spot to ‘Raspberry Hill.’”
-Lowell Thomas
“With Allenby in Palestine” (1919)
