The recent State Department embargo on the ##pping of arms and ammunition to the Middle East, including the Jews in Palestine, was attacked here by Judge Morris Rothenberg, chairman of the American section of the Jewish National Fund.
At a press conference, Judge Rothenberg declared that the U.S. Government’s ##ion was not understandable. “It is idle to say that the embargo also applies to ### Arabs,” he stated, adding: “The Jews are not attacking the Arabs, the Arabs are ##acking the Jews. Moreover, the British admittedly have been selling arms to the ##bs for a long time and they are well supplied.”
