The hand of fascism from abroad in events
The distinct fascist elements in the Arab national movement became close, housemates with German world fascism. Hitler’s book “Mein Kampf” has long since become obsolete as the ‘guide’ for the Arab intelligentsia and the youth. An excessive affection is known among them for German fascism, which is very close to them in its opposition to the Jews. Hitler’s rise to power was received in the Arab press with cheers of sympathy despite the fear that Hitler’s anti-Semitism would increase the immigration of German Jews to the Land of Israel. In other words, they agree with Hitler to beat the Jews, and how much better it would be if everyone beat his own Jews. Arab fascism’s sympathy for Germans and mutual friendly relations stood out this month in recent events.

The newspapers published news about the participation of the Italian fascists in the recent events.
On June 7th, the newspaper of the Egyptian government party ‘Rose al Yusuf’ in Cairo published an article in which it demanded from the ‘Arab Higher Committee’ in Jerusalem to deny the news, carried in Egyptian newspapers, that he was receiving support from a foreign source. The newspaper adds that the news is based on serious facts and demanded a clear answer from the committee. The denial did not come.

The few facts, which certainly do not exhaust the material, clearly prove that the German and Italian fascists had a hand in the events of E.Y. [Palestine], intending to win them the friendship of Arab fascism in Israel.
It goes without saying that it is an exaggeration to think that it was “foreign intervention” that caused the outbreak of events. It only served as a kind of their “helpmate”.
However, it was our duty to point this out, so that the social nature of the foreign movement becomes even clearer and to pose the question to the progressive public:
How can an antifascist explain this matter?
It was possible for one movement to fulfill two missions: revolutionary, worthy of sympathy, and fascist, worthy of condemnation. Who is the antifascist who will explain this complex?
No! Fascist “revolutionary” has not yet gained sympathy and love from the fighters of fascism.
P. C. P. and the events
A sad chapter in itself is the behavior of the Communist Party in Israel amid these bloody events. When it comes to the “Communist Party”, ...
