The Pan-Arab Committee of Cuba has for the first time in its history published large advertisements in influential newspapers here, attacking the Jews and appealing to the government and the people of Cuba to help the Arab world in the fight against the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine.
The appeal, which is also signed by prominent Cubans of Arab descent, says that the Jews in Cuba do not assimilate and have no interest whatsoever in the affairs of the country. At the same time, the appeal points out that the Arabs have ?en residing in Palestine for over 1,400 years but are now faced with the possibility of being reduced to a minority “like the Indians in the United States.”
