The British action is equivalent to visiting punishment upon the innocent. Responsible Jews in and out of Palestine deplore terrorism. I condemn it. Jews themselves have been hurt and killed by the unlawful action of members of the Stern and Irgun gangs. Certainly the entire Jewish community should not be made to pay for the crimes of a few desperadoes. Attlee and Bevin fail to realize that the deliberate default of their solemn pledges to open the gates of Palestine to refugees has caused despair. and despair creates terrorism. But why hold innocent people as hostages and make them pay blood money? It makes a farce of British justice.
