Asserting that the two tendencies in the present Arab movement in Palestine are “warfare against the Jews and the struggle against Christianity,” Dr. Simon Bernstein, director of the Zionist Organization’s Palestine Bureau, declared that “hostility against the Christian is deeper-rooted than the enmity against the Jew.” He delivered the first of a series of two lectures to the Masada Youth Organization on “The Arab Movement in Palestine.”
Dr. Bernstein traced the Arab nationalist movement and demonstrated the dissension which has arisen within its ranks. “The Christian-Moslem front,” he declared, “has been shattered to pieces. A state of war practically exists between the two factions which will ultimately burst into flame.”
