Charles Russell praised the rapid selling of land from Arabs to the Jew in Palestine in the 1910s, said Arabs were "non-progressive"and that Jews were improving the land.
"JEWISH HOPES"
by Charles Taze Russel
1910
Pg. 17
The Arabs are selling their property and the Jews are buying from them. A recently passed law requires that taxes hereafter shall be paid in money and not in a share of the crop. This means that whosoever holds the title must cultivate the land, and signifies in turn that the waste places must be made productive and that the non-progressive Arabs must give place to the Jews who are purchasing and improving.
