I rise to condemn the present British regime in Palestine which mocks those very ideals in whose name the American people fought side by side with Britain and the Allied Powers. Great Britain has descended to employ its Navy and its Army divisions in military operations against defenseless men. women. and children who have lived with death for more than a decade and who ask only the elementary human rights of life. work. and home. I do notbelieve that the British Governments military action against the Jewish refugees and the Jews of Palestine are designated to preserve "law and order." Had Britain chosen to fulfill its obligations under the Balfour Declarations and the mandate. which would have made possible the free entry into and the settlement of Jews in Palestine as guaranteed by -these documents. it would long ago have established peace in the Holy Land. Britains methods of violence have only produced violence. The Jews of Palestine. like the Minutemen of the American Revolution. are resisting British tyranny in Palestine in order to defend their internationally guaranteed rights to continue the upbuilding of the Jewish national home.
