“Deep sympathy” for the people of the Soviet Union in their fight against Hitlerism, was voiced today at a meeting of the Poale Zionist Federation of Great Britain by S. Adler-Rudel, prominent Poale Zionist, formerly active in Jewish social work in Germany.
Declaring that Jewish workers were putting aside their “justified grievances” against the Soviet Union in the interest of the common fight against Hitlerism, Adler-Rudel said: “Our relation with the Soviet Union in the fight against Hitlerism is not unlike our attitude toward Great Britain. We have grievances against the British-Government because of its Palestine policy. As far as the fight against Hitlerism is concerned, however, we put aside our grievances and give Britain full and unconditional support. Similarly, we put aside our grievances against the Soviet for their attitude toward Zionism and Jewish Socialism.”
