No Jewish Murderers in Palestine, Official Statistics Prove

Advertisement

That there have been no Jewish murderers in Palestine since the country has been under British rule, was made known today when official figures were published concerning the criminality in the country. These figures show that since Britain has been occupying Palestine, 26 men were executed for capital offenses. None of them were Jews. In the Palestine prisons there are now 1,377 non-Jews and 41 Jews.
