What happened to Solomon Jacobson?
Who is Solomon Jacobson?
MP Josiah Wedgwood asked about him:
PALESTINE (CONVICTION OF JEW).
Colonel WEDGWOOD asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been called to the sentence of 7½ years' imprisonment passed on Solomon Jacobson, aged 18, a Jewish national fund watchman, for shooting an Arab trespasser who was stealing stones from the quarry where he was on guard; and will he call for a report and consider revision of the sentence?
Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER I have asked the High Commissioner for Palestine for a report on this case.
What were the details? According to the local newspaper:
He was released only in June 1938.
He became a seaman, was mobilized for work in Syria 1941-1942 by Yigal Allon disguised as a Moslem preligious official and later served in the Navy.
Interesting Jew.
