ish life, etc. Fifty-two nations gave
us that right !
" In
1922
there were only 85,000
Jews in Palestine. As a result of the
Ba lfour Declaration and mandate
from 52 nations, we brought in
600,000 Jews. But at the same time,
600.000 more Arabs also carne into
Palestine. so they would still out–
number us-so actua lly the Jews
brought 600,000 Arabs into Pales–
tine! Neither the Japanese nor the
Indians ever brought 600,000 of
their people into California! Now
the rate of Arab immigration into
Palestine-from Egypt, Iraq, Syria ,
Transjordan, Lebanon , Yemen ,
etc. - is greatly increased.
"Transjordan is four times as
large as Palestine. In
1922,
it had
300,000 population.
It
is about th e
same today- just a vast desert. But
the Jews have brought 600,000 Jews
and 600,000 Arabs into Palestine.
They have brought

standard of living, good health, re–

which killed so many Arabs before
we went back there. We brought all
these benefits and blessings to Arabs
as well asto Jews.
"There is room in Pa lestine for all
homeless Jews of the earth-and
without any harm to Arabs. And no
other country will accept these
homeless people! The condition of
those refugee Jews is tragic-yes,

Now where else are our tragically

What Arabs and Jews Dld
In World War
" Prior to World War
1,
there was no
independent Arab nation! All Arab
peoples were under Turkey!" The
Zionist leader was far from finished!
"After World War 1 the Arabs got
independence - Egypt , S a ud i
Arabia, Yemen, etc. They are still
just deserts-and just backward, un–
developed people- but they were
made independent! They didn ' t
contribute anything to the war- but
they got independence!
"The Jews participated ió the wa r
in the U.S., British, and other a r–
mies and played a n important
part-there was a special Jewish Le–
gion in World War 1-and yet a ll
our people got out of it was the
right,
by 52 nations, to have a na–
tional home in Pa lestine!
"Now look at World War 11. A
million and a ha lf Jews participated
in Allied armies. The Palestinian
Jewish Brigade fought in the desert,
and in Italy against Rommel.

which actually turned the tide of the

Yes, America and
Britain seern to have forgotten their
Jewish ally! But now what did the
Arabs do? Arab leaders brought the
Nazis into Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon.
The British had to force Egypt to
change its government from pro–
Nazi to King Faruk. No Arab coun–

The British have brought back to

them has been so mueh as tried!
" Six million Jews were slaugh–

"Only one and a quart.er million
of these European Jews remain

worried about how to feed the Nazis
and care for the poor defeated Ger–
mans-but these Jews are st ill home–
less, a nd no nation wi ll admit them!
Fifty-two nations gave them the
right to enter Palestine, but the
Arabs fight us, and the Arabs have
oil , and so Britain and America lis–

"After this las t World Wa r, the
Arabs got additional new indepen–

non [formerly French], and Trans–
jordan [previously under the British
and French]- all given indepen–

for helping Nazis during the war!"
The Zionist leader was a little bitter
now.
" But what do the Jews get out of
it for helping the Allies defeat Ger–
many? When we have these home–
less survivors from Hitler's race–

pitiful plight ,

get the door to our

After 25 years of the mandate from
