TERRORISM IN PALESTINE

Sir,—M. V. B. writes, " Their countrymen, naturally feeling indignant of pledges being broken, are labelled * terrorists.’ Was our own national heritage secured without bloodshed? ” This clearly proves that he is in full sympathy with these foul murderers of innocent, helpless men, whose acts he attempts to justify. His callous apathy towards Britain and her soldiers, which are inseparable, is disgusting. His reference to " broken pledges ” shows his complete ignorance of the Palestine question, which I fully explained in a letter about three months ago. The Jewish claim to Palestine is mythical, and is based on alleged statements said to have been made by some of their ancestors somewhere about the year 1947 8.C., and even if correct, has no bearing on the events in Palestine in 1947 A.D. In the second letter we read, “ When the time arrives Britain herself will willingly transport these people.” This can have only one meaning—a vanquished Britain will have to obey the orders of her Jewish masters. Brutal murders seem a strange preparations for the alleged second coming of the King of Peace, Who emphatically declared a few hours before His death, “My kingdom is not of this world,” and Who is “ the same yesterday, to-dav, and forever.”—l am, etc., E.
