Causes Quote by Nesta Helen Webster
“If 'all the Jewish women in Palestine are hysterical', presumably many of their menkind suffer from the same disability, which certainly does not promise well for the luckless Arab who is to live beneath their sway. How much of the trouble that has occurred already in Palestine may be attributed to this cause it is impossible to know.”
