Anti-Jewish boycott propaganda is continuing in the country. An appeal to Arab employers was distributed in the streets declaring:
“The basis of national independence is economic independence. Therefore we ask imperatively in the name of the nation to perform a light duty not costing you any money, namely, to dismiss all Jewish employees immediately and employ Arabs in their stead, whose work will be more beneficial to you than the work of Jews who were not admitted by European nations because of their maliciousness and contrariness to those who had given them hospitality. The strongest people despise those who trust the Jews. As the Koran says: ‘Those who befriended them are of themselves’.”
The appeal was signed: “A section of the Arab artisans of Jerusalem” and was printed by the Moslem Orphanage press.
