The government in London favored the Zionists, while the Colonial Office cursed the troubles that this policy brought them. It seems that what you are saying here is that the people in London, well away from the scene, favored the Zionists, and that the people on the spot had a somewhat different point of view. You suggest that the colonial administrators found the Zionists troublesome and demanding. Seems to me that the Arabs were getting pretty damned troublesome too, especially in the early 1920’s. If the people on the spot were drifting toward the Arab side, don’t you think it might have been because direct observation of the problems as they stood suggested that the Arabs had legitimate grievances?
