The Axis radio stations have been utilizing the Passover week for conducting violent anti-Jewish propaganda. The attacks, which surpass anything yet carried by the German and Italian radio stations, are directed this time not against the Jewish race but against the Jewish religion.
The Manchester Guardian, discussing the situation in the Near East, attempts to answer the question of whether the German military command can count on effective support on the part of the local population in case of an offensive on Syria and Palestine. The paper says: “Only in Palestine is there a compact, resolute, tough people who are anxious to place all their resources of men and talent at the disposal of the Allies, because their cause is the cause of the Allies. But we are discouraging the Jews by choosing to believe against all facts that we can win the cooperation of the Arabs by sacrificing the real cooperation of the Jews.”
