The introduction of the issue of “Christian rights” into the Palestine situation, as has been done by the Anglo-American inquiry committee, is “to obscure the real issue at stake, which is not only to create a haven for homeless Jews, but to build a national home for homeless people,” the American Christian Palestine Committee said tonight.
In a statement issued here, the committee said that “it is evasive and unwarranted to make an issue of ‘Christian rights and interests’ in view of the complete freedom which the Christians in Palestine now enjoy.”
