Indications that the anti-Zionist American Council for Judaism maybe collaborating with the Palestinian Arab delegation to the United Nations have been received here. The indications came from Arab press reports. On the basis of these reports, inquiries have been made with the United States Department of Justice on whether the anti-Zionist group was registered as a foreign agent.
The Jordanian newspaper “Falastin” reported from Cairo that “the American anti-Zionist Council has announced it will work towards expending all possible assistance to the Palestinian (Arab) delegation in the United Nations General Assembly, and that it will also be active to bring to the attention of American public opinion the latest developments concerning the Palestine problem and the efforts of the Palestinians to achieve the return of the fatherland that was robbed from them–these matters appeared in a letter from the head of the American Council (of Judaism) received by Ahmed Shukairy.”
Mr. Shukairy is leader of the Palestinian Arab delegation at the United Nations and is known for his bitter denunciations of Jews and Israel.
