A number of new Arab attacks on Jews occurred Monday. The well known Jewish merchants, the brothers Simcha, were fired on and seriously wounded. The Jewish section in Jerusalem. Kerem, was fired on, too. Simon Mugrabi was wounded during the affray.
The belief is entertained in Jewish circles that these attacks are inspired and deliberately organized in order to convince the Inquiry Commission and the British government that unless the Arab demand for the withdrawal of the Balfour Declaration is met, there will be no peace in the country.
