Scope and content
A clipping of an article reporting on the remarks of the Jewish activist Ben Hecht (1894-1964) comparing Irish attitudes to the English with those of the Jews. The article suggests that Hecht writes ‘rabidly Zionist’ anti-British propaganda for the American League for a Free Palestine. The clipping is taken from the ‘Irish Times’ (28 May 1947).
