Reprisals by Palestine Jews against Arab terrorism were strongly condemned today by Col. Josiah Wedgwood, foremost non-Jewish Zionist and Laborite M.P.

“All that the Jews have undergone in the last five years,” he said in a statement, “explains the temporary insanity which makes man run amok. There would, under similar circumstances, be Englishmen who would go the same way, but nothing can justify a sane man murdering innocent Arabs by reprisals for the murder of innocent Jews.”
