Disregard for Nasser. Asifa's membership is under 200 and limited to Palestinian Arabs between 20 and 30 years of age. Each volunteer takes an oath, on the Bible if a Christian, on the Koran if a Moslem, that he will 1) be on an alert status 24 hours a day, 2) tell no one of his activities and 3) never discuss a mission he has been on. Asifa is typical of other terrorist groups in that its members are organized into small cells, and only the cell leader has contact with one man in the echelon above...

Jerusalem's Latin-rite Roman Catholic patriarch denounced the Y in a pastoral letter. Since most of the members in the early days were British civil servants and Arab Christians, Palestinian Jews regarded it as a center for Arab espionage during Israel's war for independence. After the city was partitioned in 1948, membership dropped...
