An appeal to the Nehru Government to condemn the “mass massacre of the Jews by the Arab armies” in Palestine and to recognize the state of Israel appeared in the English-language newspaper Informa, published here.
The publication pointed out editorially that “when the minority of India demanded the partition of India this was backed almost by all the Arab countries.” Asserting that it “fails to understand” the Arab opposition to the partition of Palestine, Informa added that there is no reason “why the Zionists should not be allowed to form their own state.”
