MANY have crossed between the

and Arabs seen on the march, and

An English railway official and
British bluejackets were attacked at
Haifa today.
The Jewish fascist organization
is attacking Arabs and has burned

Jerusalem is said to have provoked
the first attack.

dering Arabs and asking assistance
BY NJ. ALPI
The Jewish element imported in
Palestine represents base of Brit
ish imperialism and is regarded by
the native population as an invader
In fact the Jewish capitalists have
in their hands a great portion OF
commerce in Jerusalem, and in Jaffa,
Beirut and in other centers are the
great agrarian owners who exploit
not only the Arabian labor but even
the labor of the Jewish immigrants
who are generally prone to crafty
the wishes of the owners because OF
religious sentiment instilled in them
by the rabies and the prominent
Zionists. In other words, the Jewish
element is nothing but the instru-
ment employed by British imperial
ism to appropriate the Arabians and
chase them out of their land. 3
Fascism.
Lately part of the Jewish Zionists
adopted methods of struggle which
are completely fascist in character
under the slogan Palestine must be
returned to the Jews, the native pop
ulation must be driven toward the
Orient"
The fascist Jewish squads, pro-
tected by the British authority, con-
tinued to provocate and to threaten
the Arabian population to the extent
that this has been compelled to arise
not only in Jerusalem but thruout
the country. H..
Is this merely a religious struggle
limited to the conflict between Arab
ians and Jews? Certainly not. This
/ is an uprising of the Arabian popu-
lation against the Jewish bourgeoisieT
which continues to appropriate their
lands, and, generally, against the.
foreign elements which represent im-
perialism and are it's instruments for
the subjugation of the colony. ~
Against Imperialism. i9i
This is an uprising against British
imperialism, the first step toward
the struggle for the national in--
dependence of the Arabian people
of Palestine. In fact the events in
Jerusalem are shaking the whole,
Arabian people and France is al
ready adopting some effective meas
ures in order to prevent the uprising
from extending itself in Syria.
This is new. proof fo the sharp.
ening conflict between the colonial
people and Imperialism, which is not
to be considered in itself, but is to
be regarded as part of large move
ment of national independence that
in Tunis, Tripoli, Egypt, Arabia, ETC.,
is extending itself from Morocco 10
Indochina.
Worker With Arabs.
The Jewish workers must not let
themselves be taken in by nationalist
sentimentalism. They must not fall
under the influence of chauvinist
Zionists, under the influence of Jew
ish bankers, pillars of world imper-
ialism, who in Palestine see nothing
else but source of profit. They
must fight on the side Of the Arab
ian population that is struggling
against Imperialism. This is also the
task of the Jewish workers Of Pal
estine who are exploited just as
