Description

summary
“Resolved that this Mass Meeting, representing all Sections of the Jewish Community in the United Kingdom, conveys to His Majesty’s Government an expression of heartfelt gratitude for their Declaration in favour of the establishment in Palestine as a National Home for the Jewish People.
It assures His Majesty’s Government that their historic action in support of the national aspirations of the Jewish People has evoked among Jews the most profound sentiments of joy.
This Meeting further pledges its utmost endeavours to give its whole-hearted support to the Zionist Cause.”
Noted are the honorary attendees at the meeting, which includes, as expected, the Chief Rabbi, The Rt. Hon. Herbert Samuel, Chaim Weizman and other grandees - but most surprising, are listed the “Arab Representatives,” Shakh Ismail Abdu-al-Akki and M. Wadia’ Kesrawnai.
