Moshe Shertok, head of the Jewish Agency’s political department, declared at a meeting of the Anglo-Palestine Club last night that Palestine Jewry and world Zionism stood with Britain in the fight against Nazi Germany, but would combat any attempt to carry out Britain’s Palestine policy.
Support of Britain in the war, Shertok said, “does not mean that we are renouncing our claims or are prepared to stand for any infringement of our rights in Palestine, even during the war. If the Government will go on with implementation of the White Paper as if there were no war, we reluctantly will have to combat this policy on the same assumption.”
