MOSS AAES CEN IA OT ALIA EATS Palestine solution Anglo-U.S. intrigues imperils peace in the Holy Land “The inhabitants of Palestine haye to demand an end to the imperialist intrigues of England and America, and in the interest of peace to submit the problem of our country to the United Nations.’“—Palestine Commun- ist Party. JERUSALEM, Palestine-—In a blistering attack against British colonial oppression which it charges is responsible for present anti- Jewish terrorism, the Communist Party of Palestine has issued a Statemenr calling for a “united struggle of Jews and Arabs” as in- dispensable to Palestine.” ensure a successful fight against foreign rule in In New York, meanwhile, the American Jewish Trade Union Committee for Palestine whose aims have been endorsed by the AFL and CiIG, served notice on the leaders of the British Labor Party that “net until your governmen; has redeemed the good name and the integrity of British Labor (with regard to Palestine) can you continue to regard us as champions of your party in the U.S.” In cables to Sir Walter Citrine, chairman of the British Trade Union Congress and Philip Noel-Baker, chairman of the British Labor Party, the committee declared: s “We stand today with the terribly harassed Jewish remnants in Europe who seek entry into Palestine; we stand with the heroic Jewish community of Palestine in its struggle against your govern- ment’s cruel policies. It is for British Labor to make the next move.” Followimg is the text of the starement of the Palestine Com- munist Party: 4 Cees in Palestine is grewing more and more, and a state of insecurity is dominating in it. All over Palestine Britsh military installations are in- creasing in numbers. Large British forces are active. All this gives clear evidence that it is the intention of the British government to strengthen its rule over the country—the rule of colonial op- pression, it is the government which is mainly responsible for the situation which has been created. The Mufti, whom British im- perjalism tries to turn from a Wazi agent into a British agent, has been “mysteriously” liber- ated and it will surprise ncbcdy if tomorrow he is called on to head the Arab High Committee, in order to divert the anti-im- Pperialist struggle of the Arab natiozal movement in an anti- Je@wisb direction, thereby causing its defeat The terrorist acts have been renewed and increased by the “activists.” There are tens of dead and wounded. Hundreds of people are being arrested. Co- Jonial courts pass heavy sen- tences, among them death sen- tences. OGPPOSIER OPPOSITION THE terrorist acts are appar- ently directed against for- eign rule. Their political aims, however, as reflected in the or- fans of the “activists’ are ex- actly the opposite. “We have no interests what- Scevez in weakering the fp dsition of Britain in the world, in the Middle East cs» in Palesriue.’ “The purpos= of the struggle Protesting Britain’s armed Palestine, PACIFIC TRIBUNE — PAGE ig is not to drive the Britis; out of kere. The purpose is to prove to Britain that to compromise with us is to her own benefit.” “Palestine is apt te be the only political factor in the Mid- dle Hast whose faithfulness to Great Britain is beyond ali -doubt.” : This is the language of the “activists.” Such is the purpose of the “champions of resistance.” Therefore it is obvious that not every explosion means a “revolu- tion,’ and not every recital a “re- volt.” " Any policy which with imperialism is Jewish policy. Therefore: —to link the Yishuyv with those forces which prepare for a third world war and a new slaughter of Jews; —to link the Yishuv with those forces which support An- ders, the murderer of Jews in Poland; —to link the Yishuy with im- perialists who commit outrages against the Jewish inmates of DP camps in Germany; —to link Yishuy with this or that imperialism; —means to act against the na- tional interests of the Jewish people. It must be asked: this alliance with “imperialism—against whom is it directed? it is obvious that all policy of political alliance with colon- jal rule must necessarily help this rule to bring about a breach of peace in Palestine, bring about clashes between Jews and Arabs. For that is what imperi- alism is interested in, to strengthen its own rule and to turn our country inte a main links up an anti- against Jews in thousands of New Yorkers demonstrate in Madison Square park. Placards bore such slogans as “fight Bevin’s tyranny in Palestine.” In the background is a union jack with a swastika. violence military base in the Middle East and against the Soviet Union. Confusion prevails in the Yish- uy. There are many who ask: When will this insecurity and these outrages come to an end? EXTEND IMPERIALISM [= is clear that the policy of the Yishuy leadership and of the Arab leadership will not put an end to the imperialist rule and bring security to Palestine. On the contrary, the imperialist net which is spread over Pales- tine, is being extended. The representatives of the of- ficial Wishuv leadership are knocking at the doors of Bevin and Attlee. Truman and Byrnes, offering them their ser- vices, in order to move these gentlemen to put into practice the Biltmore program, the pro- gram of the Jewish state—the only meaning of which is — the partition of Palestine. They have found a new “sa- vior” for the Jewish Yishuy— American imperialism. But is there any difference between one imperialism and the other? The smell of oil sticks from afar to both imperialisms. The American pipe-line from Saudi Arabia te Haifa is proof thereof. In the occupied zones of Western Germany—American and British alike—outrages are committed against Jews who are still suffering in the camps. No, not from these will come help to the Yishuv! The character of an anti-im- perialist war is judged accord- ing to the degree to which it Shakes these foundations upon which imperialism is based. Therefore in order to ensure a successful fight against for- eign rule in Palestine—a unit- €d struggle of Jews and Arabs is indispensable. Kreedom is in- divisible. Hither Jews and Arabs will liberate themselves togeth- er, or the rule of colonial op- pression will continue. UNITY MAIN DEFENCE JEWISH-ARAB unity is the principle means to defeat the imperialist intrigues. The Communist Party calls on the Jewish and Arab masses to be on their guard in the inter- est of their Security and their future, British colonial rule and its American companion are nei- ther pro-Jewish nor pro-Arab. They are ready to drown Arabs and Jews alike in a sea of blood Divide and rule and tears for their imperialist interests. And their weapon is —the division between Jews and Arabs which the present leader- Ship of both peoples endeavor te deepen by their demands for a Jewish or an Arab state, in- stead of the democratic solution, an Arab-Jewish state in which both peoples’ would live in full equality of rights, in honor and Prosperity, and which will en- sure the free national develop- ment of Jews and Arabs alike. To safeguard peace, it is im- perative first of all to abolish the Main source of danger to peace—the mandatory rule. The inhabitants of Palestine have to demand an end to the imperial- ist intrigues of England and America, and to submit the problem of our country te the UN, in which the Soviet Union plays a leading role. This is the road to thé safeguarding of peace in Palestine. Let us fight for Jewish-Arab agreement. Let us fight for the transfer of the problem of Palestine to the Security Council of the UN. Let us safeguard the peace be- tween Jews and Arabs. Jews, Arabs must unite! By J. GERAHMAN National Organized, Jewish Committee, LPP. ALTHOUGH the statement of the Palestine Communist Party was issued before the ter- rer began, it presents a justly correct policy of action for the Palestine population, Jews and Arabs. This is a policy of action against British imperialism and his new partner in the Middle Hast, American imperialism. Since Brizain obtained the mandate in Palestine, no oppor- tunity has existed like the pres- ent to free the country of this imperialist yoke. The British au- thorities have been unable, for the first time, to get someone else to perform their job for them. They therefore removed their mask. Upon the direct or- ders of the “socialists” Attlee and Bevin, they unleashed an unprecedented terror against the Jewish population. The Arabs, as the Zionists too testify, had refused to conduct a war against the Jews because their chief, and only, enemy is British im- perialism, The Palestine Communist Party is emliniently correct when it calls for a more sustained anti-imperialist policy by: ail Sections of the Jewish popula- tion. Unfortunately, the chief Zionist leaders still refuse to see this. Dr. Weizmann, in his speech in Jerusalem, July 9, Said: “There is a definite permanent affinity between Zionism and the British nation. What's hap- pened is a nightmare which ought to pass and be forgot- ten.” Canadian Zionists, for Same reasons, are doing the the Palestine population a grievous wrong when they refuse to hold any meetings of protest against _ what the British have been do- ‘ng to the Jewish Yishuv- With such an approach, the Zronist leaders are doing the Jewish community in Palestine great damage. The greatest fault vf political Zionism is that it Solicits the favor of the reac- tionary powers and refuses to give—even now—the fight of the Yishuy an anti-imperialist char- acter. Every right-thinking Jew and progressive non-Jew will support the program of the Communist Party in Palestine. JOSEPH GERSHMAN Natl Organizer, Jewish Committee, LPP FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1946
