“Shirt” Movements Growing in Palestine
Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Jerusalem
Transcribed from the clipping
“Jerusalem.—(JTA)—‘Shirt’ movements are growing in popularity in Palestine. Recently a ‘Greenshirt’ organization was started here based on the Egyptian Wafdist ‘Greenshirts.’ Another movement is now being launched by the Palestine Arab Party which is headed by the Mufti of Jerusalem.
The new organization will have a uniform of blue shirts and khaki trousers and will try to enlist Arab youth. Jamal el Husseini, well known Arab politician, and Emil el Ghoury are sponsoring the new group which will apply for government registration. It has about 300 members.”
Context added by this archive
A three-hundred-member youth organization, applying for registration, reported by a Jewish news agency without alarm. Both sponsors are named.
