SIR,—I spent four years in the Middle East during this
last difference of opinion—a total time of twelve months in Palestine—and I regret that the conclusions of "Airborne Officer" are unpleasant. But they are true. The Palestine Post has always bent news from whatever source to the Jewish viewpoint. I have had many Jewish friends whom I respected and admired, but so influenced are they all by this Jewish propaganda, which is intolerant of any balanced view, and the level- headed Jew must tend to be in the minority and eventually disappear. The Jewish Agency is in my personal opinion a facade to cover the active nationalist policy of the revisionist. They are arrogantly sure of their own righteousness, and do not stop to consider nor care whether the whole of the Middle East goes up in flames, thus causing the last world war. Those broad-minded Jews who wished to collaborate with the Arabs were threatened with death if they persisted in their views ; this in years previous to 1940. It therefore requires little imagination to visualise the present situation or the dangers, which sentimentalists both here and in America are daily bringing nearer.—Yours fiithfully, "MIDDLE EASTER."
