TURK AND CHRISTIAN UNITE AGAINST JEW
New Anti-Zionist Outbreak in Palestine is Believed to Be Imminent
PROTEST BRITISH MANDATE
Special Cable to The Washington Post Rome, June 18 -- After waging fierce wars for centuries against each other for possession of the Holy Land, the Christians and Mohammedans in Palestine have now sealed the bond of friendship and allied themselves against the Jews. Truly, a strange story of history. Simultaneously, with Pope Benedict's protest against the Jewish position in Palestine, reports received here from Jaffa indicate that a new outbreak of anti-Zionist sentiment is imminent in the land which more than any other should be the home of peace and good will. Jewish Merchants Boycotted Christian and Mohammedan inhabitants of Palestine have formed a joint organization with the object of frustrating realization of Zionist ideals. This alliance has already initiated a boycott of all Jewish merchants. It is preparing still more drastic measures for its members are sending their families out of the countries in provision against violence and bloodshed. A diplomatic mission composed of Christians and Moslems is to be sent to Europe and America to protest against England's exercise of her mandate over Palestine in favor of Zionism and to demand the constitution of a national government with a parliament and responsible cabinet. Would Protest to Prince The mission is headed by the Orthodox Bishop of Acre, Basilius Haggar, and a Moslem dignitary, Abdul Hadi. It was the mission's intention to go to London and submit its grievances to the Prince of Wales, but Sir Herbert Samuel explained that the prince was merely a young officer without power to interfere in politics. |
