Jewish resistance will break down the crusade of the Palestine government against Jewish immigrants, Vladimir Jabotinsky, leader of the Zionist Revisionists, right wing Zionists, declared today at a Revisionist press conference.

“While one cannot underestimate the resources of the Palestine government in combatting the penetration of Palestine by the Jews, the government certainly underestimates Jewish stubborness”, stated the Revisionist leader.

“The moment has arrived when history itself forces the Jewish people to rise in a decisive political battle for a definite revision of the Palestine regime.

“The tourists are the healthiest types of immigrants, because the fact that they find employment and businesses is the best proof of their suitability within the Palestine absorptive capacity”, the Revisionist chief stated.

Jabotinsky denounced the wholesale espionage in the hotels and cafes in Tel Aviv, directed against the illicit immigrants as “reminiscent of the shameful features of Czarist Russia.”

Speaking at length on the political situation in Germany and the effect of the recent plebiscite on other countries, Jabotinsky predicted that “within a few weeks, Germany will find itself more isolated than before and the world will have to form a united front against the Third Reich, and the Jews will gladly help.”

Jabotinsky stressed that the Revisionist function is to act as a liason organization between the various Jewish boycott organizations. Pointing out the dangerous fallacy that other nations, endangered no less than the Jews by the Nazi menace, are relying on the Jewish boycott, the Revisionist leader urged them to join the boycott of Germany.
