Worst of all. in the most tragic era of Jewish history. it sought to deny to Jews fleeing Hitlers Europe a haven in Palestine. and undermined and obstructed the lifegiving work of rescue and rehabilitation carried on by the Jewish community. 3. Our factual study released today offers clear proof that the group calling itself the American Council for Judaism is neither American nor Jewish in spirit or in concept. It is revealed to be a political organization consisting. by its own claim. of less than onehalf of 1 percent of American Jews which was organized in the first instance for the express purpose of denying the right of refugees fleeing occupied Europe to enter Palestine. at the very moment the Nazis were implementing the "final solution." 4. During the 20 years of its existence the activities of the council have consisted of an assault against the United Jewish Appeal. the major lifesaving instrumentality of the American Jewish community. They have attempted to impugn the patriotism of American Jews who have. together with other Americans. showr concern for the welfare of the people of Israel.
