Arabs refused to sit in the same room with the Jews.* On the first day the Arabs appealed to Allah, the Jews to Jehovah, and the British, diplomatic as ever, to common sense. Zionist Spokesman Dr. Chaim Weizmann declared that under the Balfour Declaration and League of Nations mandate, the Jews have a material and moral right to a permanent national home in Palestine, particularly now when the refugee problem is so critical.

Prominent among these Zionist dancers is Moscow-born Rina Nikova, former prima ballerina of Palestine's Tel Aviv Opera. While working in Palestine, Ballerina Nikova's interest in the Yemenite Jews became so absorbing that she spent months living in their villages learning their customs and dances at first hand.
