Press Silenced by Hopelessness
Transcribed from the clipping
Negib Diab, editor of Mirat-ul-Gharb: 'the Arabs have been comparatively silent these years, but that is not a sign that they are in favor of Zionism. They have realized that they are powerless to oppose a movement so ably sponsored by political and economic forces vastly superior to their own; their silence is a sign of weakness, not of love to Zionism.'

This record is part of Covering Palestine, an archive of American newspaper clippings about Palestinians, 1724 to 2023. Researched and assembled by Maria Robles.
The clipping belongs to the newspaper that printed it, or to the news agency that supplied the copy. It is reproduced here for research, criticism and commentary. A city here is where the newspaper was published, not where the story came from, and on most records it was taken from the masthead.
Something wrong here, or something you know about this clipping? The archive is still being built and corrections are wanted: maria@rozumstudio.com, quoting CP-1926-002.
