Terrorists Taunt Palestine Police With ‘Nerve War’
United Press, Haifa
Transcribed from the clipping
“British sources said Jewish terrorists were conducting a telephone and mail ‘nerve war’ against British and Palestine police officials. The phrase ‘we shall fight on the beaches,’ taken from Winston Churchill’s address to the empire after Dunkirk, blossomed in painted signs on building walls of Palestine towns, posted at night by Jewish elements.”
