The entire Jewish press here today voiced indignation at the proclamation in Palestine of a legislative council, emphasis being placed chiefly on the solidarity that exists between the Jewish community of Palestine and that of the rest of the world.
Der Moment cautions against underestimating the power of the Jewish protest “in view of the sacred rights of Jewry” in the Holy Land.
Das Wort declares that the Palestine upbuilding work by the Jews will be carried on irrespective of the legislative council and demands that Jewish unity be concentrated under the aegis of the Jewish Agency for Palestine.
The organ of the Agudath Israel, world orthodox Jewish organization, declares that the Palestine Jewish community must not be transformed into “a blind instrument of British politics” and
urges Jewry not to participate in the new form of government. The paper describes the establishment of the council as a “pseudo-parliamentary comedy.”
