THE ITALIAN PRESS CONTINUES TO FEATURE DEVELOPMENTS IN PALESTINE, EMPHASIZING LENGTHY PROTESTS FROM ARAB CENTERS AGAINST “BRITISH TERRORISM” IN ARRESTING ARAB LEADERS AND SUPPRESSING POLITICAL ORGANIZATIONS. PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE EX-GRAND MUFTI HAVE BEEN PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED BY MOST PAPERS, WHICH DO NOT CONCEAL THEIR SYMPATHY WITH THE ARAB NATIONALISTS.
THE NEWSPAPER AZIONE COLONIAL, WHICH IS CONSIDERED CLOSE TO THE GOVERNMENT, PUBLISHES AN ARTICLE ON WHAT IT CALLS THE FAILURE OF BRITISH POLICY IN PALESTINE. IT CRITICIZES THE BRITISH FOR CONTINUATION OF THIS “POLICY OF FAILURE” AND WARNS THAT BRITAIN IS MAKING POLITICAL MARTYRS OF EXILED ARAB LEADERS.
“SHE PLAYS WITH FIRE IN THE WHOLE MOSLEM WORLD IF SHE CONTINUES THIS BLIND AND BRUTAL POLICY, WELL REPAID BY THE HATRED OF ALL ARABS,” THE PAPER SAYS. IT WARNS OF GRAVE CONSEQUENCES, EVEN IN INDIA, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF PRESTIGE FOR BRITAIN GREATER THAN FROM A LOST WAR.
