Mayor Meier Dizengoff today issued an appeal to all residents of the city, particularly to the Jewish youth, urging them to refrain from physical violence against political opponents and begging them not to tarnish the fair name of the all-Jewish city.
“Accursed be he who lifts his hand against a neighbor,” the mayor’s proclamation concluded.
Mayor Dizengoff’s appeal followed a clash last Thursday night in Haifa between Revisionists and Laborite sympathizers in which thirty were injured. Fifteen were arrested by the police.
