An intensive Arab campaign for a boycott of Jewish businesses and industry in Lebanon and Syria and of Jewish exports form Palestine has broken out as a result of recent bombings in Haifa.

All Moslem newspapers are agitating for the boycott, issuing extra editions calling up on Moslems to hold mass meetings at mosques. The prominent Sheikh Achmed Zaki el Offini delivered an inciting address at a crowded meeting in the principal El Omeri mosque.
