“If the Zionists will define their aims clearly, get a better knowledge of facts concerning the Arabs, change their attitude and improve their methods in dealing with them, the present difficulties in Palestien will be solved.”
This was the statement made by Sheik Mohammed Fadhal Jamali, a graduate of Columbia University and an instructor in education, in the course of a discussion on the Palestine problem Sunday night at the weekly forum of the Community Church. More than 1,000 persons attended the meeting, which was presided over by Joseph Ernest McAfee.
Rabbi Mitchell Salem Fisher of Temple Rodeph Sholem, first vice-president of the American Student Zionist Organization “Avukah,” declared that the small number of casualties during the August disturbances in Palestine indicated that an accord between Jews and Arabs there was still possible and expressed the belief that the problem cannot be solved through force, but through better mutual understanding.
