They massacred Arab babies
Context added by this archive
Five words, in the same London paper that in January had headlined Why the Jews should have Palestine (CP-1948-002). Only the headline survives on this scan, so who they are and who is saying it are not on the page. What the page does show is that the sentence was printable in a mainstream British paper in June 1948, in that vocabulary, without quotation marks.
