The Arab Ubsnrge

THE Arab Of Palestine, groaning under British
imperialst oppression, have again taken the
revolutionary path of sharp open struggle against their
British oppressors and their capitalist Zionist
agents.
Particularly at this period, when FaScsm in other
countries has taken violently ant-Semtc character
it is important to make clear the revolutionary sig
nifcance Of the Arab upsurge in Palestine which al
ready has its repercussons far Bagdad and
the relation of the Jewish masses to these events.
Around Baufour's swinding slogan OF Palestine the
national home Of the Jewish race" the British i'm
periasts have with macchiavellan cunning employed
the national feeling Of Jews in all lands to consolidate
British power in Palestine and to make 1t British
colony and strategic base against the Soviet Union.
The capitalist zonsts are the willing tools Of the
British inperialsts for the oppression not only of the
Arab masses but equally Of the of Jewish
and peasants in Palestine
The struggle Of the Arab masses is in every sense
revolutionary struggle against British Imperialism
and against their native Arab exploiters themselves
serving the interests Of British Imperialism. 1t is Of
the greatest revolutionary significance the fore
runner of the coming revolution Of the of India
Egypt and the other colonies and semcoones Of the
British empire
Even the dispatches in the capitalist press make this
clear when they report that the leaders OF the Arab
usrge declare themselves struggling not against
the Jewish people but against British Imperialism and
its agents who the Jewish immigration as wedge
of imperialst oppression
WHY have the British instantly modified their armed
forces, and especially their air forces and armed
and depuzed the British residents of Palestine resist
the Arab demonstrators?
It is Of course to protect their exploitation OF the
rich resources Of Palestine But 1t is also for much
more significant purpose ..
The British know well the profound influence which
any anti-British action In Palestine will have upon the
innumerable millions who lie groaning under the Brit
ish heel in immense areas of Asia and Africa.
- The geographical situation Of Palestine lying be-
tween Africa and Asia, the gateway to the East
makes it strategic key to all the British aims in the
East. ,tl ~sz. ~ -
A modern naval harbor has been built at Haifa
railway line connects Hafa with Bagdad; an i'm
and highly developed network of airlines con-
meets London, Egypt Palestine, Iraq and India Mod
roads from Palestine to the oil centers OF
Mosul. All these connections converge Iraq Per
STA, and the northwest frontier of India which are
the bases for Great Britain's coming war on the
Soviet Union, and for further colonial plumber.
THE British and the acknowledgements Jewish capi-
taliss of all lands will every effort to mobi-
lie the Jewish masses against arab pogro" They
will utilize the pogroms Of the Nazis to whip up Jew
lsh sentiment in the interests Of British imperialism
and its zonist-capitalist agents and ackeys '''
The Jewish masses must not be deceived. The
anti-Arab actions Of the mperialist- Ziosts are d-
rected equally against the interests Of the Jewish
working class and poor farmers OF Palestine, who
would have no difficulty living in arity with the
Arabs if they could achieve national self determine
ton and break the British stranglehold e-e-.
The revolutionary working class must welcome the
struggles of the Arabs Of Palestine as blow against
British imperialism blow in defense OF the Soviet
Union, as signal for the inevitable coming revolu-
tionary upsrge Of the hundreds of millions of Great
Britain's colonial slaves ea :-. ~,
The Jewish exploited masses have everything to
gain by joining and supporting this struggle for the
exploiters of the Arabs also the expoiters and
oppressors of the Jewish tolers.
Only the revolutionary overthrow OF capitalism will
bring freedom for the toiling masses OF all nations
This is shown by the freedom won by the Jewish
people after the proletarian revolution in Russia
