The Palestine Post, only English-language daily in the Holy Land, today added its voice to the mounting protest against establishment of the legislative council.
The Post asks whether the time is ripe for such a body since Arab leaders are openly defying the mandate and glorifying terrorists who are aiming at its subversion.
Haboker, new Hebrew daily, asserts that the national home was promised to Jewish people the world over while the council restricts the Jews as a local community. It warns that the council will be a stage for incitement against the Jews.
Haaretz, a leading Hebrew daily, declares that the Zionist movement and Palestine Jewry are united on the historical necessity for cooperation against the council.
