| | + | In 1931, the ''Falastin'' attempted to resurrect the ancient blood libel. |
| | + | Reported at the time:<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=8n0uAAAAIBAJ&pg=PA3 ''The Montreal Gazette'', Mar 3, 1931 (p. 3)]</ref><blockquote> |
| | + | Arab Daily Suspended |
| | + | |
| | + | Is Charged With Publishing Fake News about a Jew |
| | + | Jerusalem, March 2. -- |
| | + | Tho High Commissioner of Palestine today closed the offices of the Arab dally newspaper Falastin at Jaffa after it had been charged that the newspaper had falsely reported that a Jew had abducted some Arab children and hinted at the possibility that they mights have been killed for ritual purposes |
| | + | |
| | + | The government was said to be considering criminal proceedings against the publisher.</blockquote> |
| | + | |
| | + | And:<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=xO5OAAAAIBAJ&pg=PA5 ''The Canadian Jewish Chronicle'', Mar 6, 1931 (p. 5)].</ref><blockquote> |
| | + | 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 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.</blockquote> |
