Those Who Today Murdered Our People In An Ambush Not Only Plotted To Murder Some Jews But Intended To Provoke Us... The Arabs Stand To Gain From Such A Development. They Want The Country To Be In A State Of Perpetual Pogrom.... Any Further Bloodshed [by The Jews] Will Only Bring Political Advantage To The Arabs And Harm Us... Our Strength Is In The Defense...
