| | + | When Davar, in Nov. 1935, published on the terrorist gangs (jihadis) titled: "killers" in the name of Allah," of all the Arab newspapers, it was ''Falastin'' who attacked, accompanied with slander. Despite ''Davar'' explicitly stating that no Christian is invloved in the terror gang and that the gang is against all that is not Muslim.<ref>[https://www.nli.org.il/en/newspapers/dav/1935/11/28/01/article/100/?srpos=153 Davar, 28 November 1935].<blockquote><small> |

| | + | |
| | + | The only newspaper that felt like "commenting" on T.'s article. A. Speaking of the terrorist gang ("killers" in the name of Allah," published in yesterday's issue) is the .."Falestin". The shriveled summary of the article (which, as usual, is somewhat switched) is crowned with two headlines: an example of perversion of justice and crime by their newspapers, a provocation to separate Muslims from Christians (in the Davar article "It is emphasized that no Christian is included" at members of the gang and that the spirit of the gang is hatred for everything that is not Muslim (in a long main article "Isn't it time for the criminal[sic] newspapers to shut up? The Arabs prefer death to this life" - Falastin attacks ... and now in the matter of the terrorist gangs. The article is full of seething enmity and harsh libels. In the style of "Falestin" from the early days when he sees the need to highlight his passionate nationalism and be "more papal than the Pope." |
| | + | It is interesting that this time "Falestin" interpreted the name of the author of the article and he is Abdel Elgani Albarami, the Muslim who works in the editorial department of this newspaper...(the articles in 'Falestin' are [usually] written by the editor, Yousef Hana).</small></blockquote></ref> |
