Trud, organ of the Central Trade Union, today published an article denouncing the British administration in Palestine as “one of the ugliest creations of the Versailles system.”
The article said that more and more Palestine Arabs had been thrown into concentration camps for expressing views contrary to the “British imperialist war aims.” These aims, it declared, were “foreign to the interests of the Palestine working masses.”
Zionist leaders were termed “agents of the City of London” and Palestine’s Jewish working population was declared to be “united with the industrious Arabs against imperialist war and its fomenters.” The article said: “Jewish workers and peasants know that British imperialism intends to use them for cannon fodder.”
Palestine, the trade union organ said, “is the home of disorders and riots. The Arabs cannot understand why they have to leave places in which they have been living for centuries in favor of the Zionist newcomers.”
