Zionist circles here were greatly irritated today by the appearance of an outspoken anti-Zionist article, the second within a week, to appear in the London Times as special correspondence from Palestine.
The Times article openly urged the British government to discontinue Jewish immigration into Palestine saying: “It isn’t right that Great Britain should allow the Arabs to be swamped by Jewish immigrants as the red Indians were in America.”
“The Jews have acquired one-tenth of the cultivatable land in Palestine and left the barren highlands for the natives,” the Times article alleged.
Never before has the London Times carried such bitter anti-Zionist articles, Zionists emphasized, pointing out that the article says that the Arab peasants are not benefiting from Jewish immigration, as the Zionists assert, but that only a small number of Arabs in the coastal belt of Palestine have profited from the coming of Jewish immigrants.
