ANOTHER ARAB REVOLT IN PALESTINE IS BEING DRUGS UP THROUGHOUT THE NEAR EAST OVER THE ISSUE OF PARTITION OF THE HOLY LAND, ACCORDING TO AN EDITORIAL TO APPEAR IN TOMORROW’S PALESTINE REVIEW, ENGLISH LANGUAGE PERIODICAL PUBLISHED HERE.

CITING THE INCREASINGLY FREQUENT ACTS OF TERRORISM BY ARABS AS EVIDENCE OF THE INSECURITY OF PEACE IN PALESTINE, THE MAGAZINE SOUNDS THE ALARM AGAINST THE PREDICTED REBELLION, DECLARING THAT THE LEADERS OF ARABS ARMED BANDS WHICH CARRIED ON GUERRILLA WARFARE IN THE 1936 REBELLION HAVE REASSEMBLED FROM ALL PARTS OF THE NEAR EAST IN DAMASCUS.

ARAB TERRORISTS ARE CONTINUALLY SMUGGLING LARGE CONSIGNMENTS OF ARMS AND AMMUNITION INTO PALESTINE FROM ACROSS THE SYRIAN FRONTIER, THE SEACOASTS AND THE DESERTS, THE REVIEW ADDS, WHILE INLAND ARABS ARE BEING TRAINED INTENSIVELY FOR A NEW TERRORISM CAMPAIGN.

“THERE IS NO REASON TO DOUBT REPORTS THAT ALL RECENT OUTRAGES ARE MERELY THE PERPETRATORS’ PRELIMINARY TRIALS OF STRENGTH,” THE REVIEW SAYS. “AT THE SAME TIME AGITATORS ARE INCITING ARAB VILLAGERS TO DEFEND LANDS AGAINST SEIZURE WHEN THE PARTITION PLAN IS PUT INTO EFFECT.”
