Jews Should Learn Unity
From Arabs, Says Press
JERUSALEM ( WNS).—While
opposing Arab political groups in
Palestine are rallying behind the
Arab mayor of .Jerusalem,
Mustafa Bey Khalidi, for his
anti-Jewish remarks at a con-
ference of Arab mayor, the
Hebrew press of Palestine was
commenting that ,Jews could
learn a lesson from the Arabs.
The Hebrew press points out
that when it comes to opposition
to the Jews, all Arab groups
are united. "None of the
Arabs proposed any agreement
with the Jews on the basis of a
bi-national Arab-Jewish State,
whereas among us, even the ex-
tremists wish Arab-Jewish un-
derstanding, co-operation and
friendship."
