The Revisionist Party of South Africa has returned to full activity in the Zionist Federation here after a six-month boycott of the organization in protest against an attack on Menahem Beigin, head of the Herut Party of Israel, which appeared in the official publication of the federation last December.
In a statement explaining their return, the Revisionists reaffirmed their protest against the attack on Mr. Beigin but noted that because of the present serious situation regarding Israel and the imminence of a new United Israel Appeal campaign in this country there is a “paramount” need for unity.
