An Old Bogey
The Arab daily newspaper of Jaffa, the Falastin, tried its hand at an old trick which fortunately ignominiously failed. It tried to to flame its fellow-Arabs against the Jews by reporting that some Arab children had been abducted by a Jew, followed by the usual hint that they mights have been killed for ritual[sic] purposes.
The action brought promot retribution from the Highe Commissioner; the circulation of the paper has been suspended, and it is likely that the publishers will be criminally prosecuted.
By falling nack on this backneyed and shoddy method of fighting us, the Arabs are going to do much greater harm to their cause, than any possible injury they can do to us. To try to exploit the blood accusation libel in these days reveals an intellectual bankruptcy on the part of the Arabs.

On the same day of the Hebron massacre, the Arabs had rioted in Jerusalem, crying: "Death to the Jews! The government is with us!" The fact that the attacks on Jewish communities in different parts of the country had occurred simultaneously was interpreted by the Mufti's newspaper Falastin as irrefutable evidence of the spontaneity of the outburst of Arab indignation.
