“Lord Haw Haw,” the Nazi propaganda broadcaster in English, on Saturday night sharply attacked British policy in Palestine, describing the history of the Holy Land since the World War as a “sordid story of Jewish intrigue.”
The broadcaster assailed former Colonial Secretary Leopold S. Amery as pro-Jewish and asserted that the Jews had coerced and cajoled the British into suppressing Arab demands for freedom and at the same time supported a Jewish campaign of murder and violence against the Arabs side by side with the Government’s campaign of violence.
Malcolm MacDonald, another former Colonial Secretary, was denounced by Haw-Haw for “having deliberately increased the number of Jews in the Palestine police force.”
