Majority of American Press Scores Administration Switch, Poll Reveals

The majority of American newspapers have castigated the U.S. reversal on Palestine “in no uncertain terms,” the Twohey Analysis of Newspaper Opinion revealed over the week-end, according to an announcement by the Zionist Organization of America.

The report points out that the stress in most of the press comments on Palestine is not “on any presumed injustice done the Zionist groups or the Jews in general, but rather one of dismay at a ‘hopelessly bungled policy.'” Most U.S. papers feel that the currently proposed trusteeship arrangement does not contribute in any way to even a temporary solution of the Palestine violence,” the survey reports, adding that “the general military importance of the Middle East is brought into question.”
