The West Australian fa parte del progetto Trove, coordinato con la National Library of Australia, che include una collezione di giornali digitalizzati dal 1803 al 1982 e risorse online australiane. Le annate disponibili del The West Australian vanno dal 1879 al 1954. Valgono per le fonti australiane gli stessi criteri di raccolta e sistemazione che abbiamo chiamato “a papiro” contenente in un solo post tutti gli articoli dell’annata senza interventi redazionali e quindi concepita per il più ampio numero possibile di fruitori. Nella redazione “a libro” con un post per ogni singolo articolo svilupperemo invece un nostro commentario. Un Indice analitico ed una Cronologia degli eventi menzionati conferiscono unità alle diverse e disparate fonti qui esplorate.

Grand Mufti Demands Arabe State

The West Australian
Wednesday, 18 June 1947, p. 9


Palestine’s future. Grand Mufti Demands Arab State.
JERUSALEM, June 17.

The Palestine Government presented factual statistical evidence at the first hearing by the United Nations Commission on Palestine yesterday. The Chief Secretary of the Government (Sir Henry Gurney), at a three-hour closed session, gave details of administration of the territory, population, wages and employment.

Dr. Moshe Shertok, head of the Jewish Agency’s political department, who will be the first Jewish witness at the inquiry today, described the Arab boycott and the inquiry as sabotage intended to pave the way for a later stage when the Arabs might claim that they were entitled to reject U.N.O. decisions because their case had not been heard. The strike called by the Arab Higher Committee in protest against the inquiry ended at dusk yesterday without incident.

Haj Amin el-Husseini, the exiled Grand Mufti, of Jerusalem, in a message read in many mosques throughout Palestine, demanded independence for Palestine as an Arab State. He called for «the cessation of the experiment of a Jewish national home», and also the cessation of the British mandate and its replacement by a treaty similar to that existing between Britain and Irak and between France and Syria.

The Grand Mufti added: «The Arabs are prepared to negotiate in a reasonable spirit the conditions under which reasonable British interests shall be safeguarded and to approve the necessary guarantees for the protection of the legitimate rights of the Jewish population and other minorities in Palestine».

A Russian-born lawyer, Mr. Levitsky, has announced that an appeal for clemency for the three Jewish terrorists condemned to death for participation in the Acre prison raid on May 4 will be lodged today with the General Officer Commanding in Palestine (Major General H. A. MacMillan). The men are Meir Nakar (21), shoemaker, Yacob Weiss (23), labourer, and Asyalon Habib (20), clerk.

Irgun Zvai Leumi (the Jewish terrorist organisation) has sent a message to the U.N.O. Commission asking for intercession on behalf of the three gunmen. It has also asked for the abolition of the military court which sentenced them and the prevention of further deportation of repatriates.

The condemned men have been removed from the Jerusalem central prison to Acre gaol. The authorities have warned British troops and police to be constantly on guard against being kidnapped and held as hostages.
