Huberman made several appearances in Palestine and in 1936 assembled in Tel Aviv a number of experienced refugee musicians, raised the financial backing, and founded the Palestine Orchestra (later the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra). Huberman refused and later gave his reasons in the English newspaper the Manchester Guardian, accusing the German intellectuals of having silently acquiesced in the actions of the Nazis.
