“The policy of Brith Shalom is the same as that of the Revisionist,” declares the Falastin, leading Arab daily, in commenting on the questionnaire issued by the Brith Shalom to candidates for seats in the Vaaud Leumi, the Palestine Jewish National Council. The Brith Shalom is an organization for promoting harmonious relationships between Arabs and Jews. The questionnaire deals with the attitude of the candidates to Arab-Jewish cooperation.
Falastin rejects the overtures of the Brith Shalom, saying, “all Jews with exception desire the destruction of the Arabs.”
