Page "The Jerusalem Post" Paragraph 3

The Palestine Post was founded on 1 December 1932 by American journalist-turned-newspaper-editor, Gershon Agron in the British Mandate of Palestine.

During its time as The Palestine Post, the publication supported the struggle for a Jewish homeland in Palestine and openly opposed British policy restricting Jewish immigration during the Mandate period.

According to the Historical Jewish Press, The Palestine Post was established " as part of a Zionist-Jewish initiative ", and " Zionist institutions considered the newspaper one of the most effective means of exerting influence on the British authorities ".
