The Fraud of Zionism--Part II
The Zionist claim to Palestine has always rested on Lord Arthur
Balfour's letter of November 2, 1917 promising British support for a
"Jewish national homeland" in Palestine. This letter was issued nearly two
years after Sir Henry McMahon's pledge of October 25,1915.
A MOVEMENT WHICH WROTE ITS OWN TITLE
Foreign Office
November 2nd, 1917
Dear Lord Rothchild
"I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of
His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of
sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been
submitted to, and approved by, the cabinet.
"His Majesty's Government view with favor the
establishment in Palestine of a National home for the Jewish
people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the
achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that
nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and
religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in
Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews
in any other country."
This document is the grant deed which planted Zionism in the Near
East. It is the most discreditable document ever issued by a major
power. It was written by those to whom it was addressed and was the
payoff for a shameless political manipulation.
The British government did not abandon its pledge to the Arabs
because of altruistic concern for a "Jewish national homeland". The real
reason was stated by David Lloyd George, Britain's wartime Prime
Minister:
"There is no better proof of the value of the Balfour
Declaration as a military more than the fact that Germany
entered into negotiations with Turkey in an endeavor to
provide an alternative scheme which would appeal to
Zionists. A German-Jewish Society, the V.J.O.D. was
formed, and in January 1918, Talaat, the Turkish Grand
Vizier, at the instigation of the Germans, gave vague
promises of legislation by means of which "all justifiable
wishes of the Jews in Palestine would be able to meet their
fulfillment".
"Another most cogent reason for the adoption by the
Allies of the policy of the Declaration lay in the state of
Russia herself. Russian Jews had been secretly active on
behalf of the Central Powers from the first; they had
become the chief agents of German pacifist propaganda in
Russia; by 1917 they had done much in preparing for that
general disintegration of Russian society, later recognized as
the Revolution. It was believed that if Great Britain declared
for the fulfillment of Zionist aspirations in Palestine under her
own pledge, one effect would be to bring Russian Jewry to
the cause of the entente."
"It was believed, also, that such a declaration would have
a potent influence open world Jewry outside Russia, and
secure for the entente the aid of Jewish financial interests. In
America, their aid in this respect would have a special value
when the Allies had almost exhausted the gold and
marketable securities available for American purchase.
Such were the chief considerations which, in 1917, impelled
the British Government towards making a contract with
Jewry." (Memoirs of the Peace Conference, David Lloyd
George, p. 726.)
The eminent Mr. Lloyd George's opinion is confirmed by numerous
other sources, especially by Mr. Samuel Landman in his work Great
Britain, The Jews and Palestine, Mr. Landman was a very well known
English Zionist whose positions included honorary secretary of the Zionist
Council of the United Kingdom in 1912, editor of The Zionist,
1913-1914, solicitor and secretary of the Zionist Organization,
1917-1922, and author of several Zionist publications during World War
One. His opinion is thus an official one which is completely consistent
with that of Lloyd George.
"Mr. James A. Malcolm... spontaneously took the
initiative, to convince first of all Sir Mark Sykes,
Under-Secretary to the War Cabinet, and afterwards M.
Georges-Picot, of the French Embassy in London, and M.
Gout of the Quai d'Orsay (Eastern Section), that the best
and perhaps the only way (which proved so to be) to
induce the American President to come into the War was to
secure the co-operation of Zionist Jews by promising them
Palestine, and thus enlist and mobilize the hitherto
unsuspectedly powerful forces of Zionist Jews in America
and elsewhere in favor of the Allies on a quid pro quo
contract basis..."
"The Balfour Declaration, in the words of Prof. H.M.V.
Temperley, was a 'definite contract between the British
Government and Jewry' (History of the Peace Conference
in Paris, vol 6, p.173). The main consideration given by the
Jewish people (represented at the time by the leaders of the
Zionist Organization) was their help in bringing President
Wilson to the aid of the Allies." (Great Britain, The Jews
and Palestine, pp.3-6.)
Thus, according to the documented statements of both parties the
British betrayed their war time ally, the Arabs, in deference to Zionist
manipulation in bringing the U.S. into the war on Britains side.
The Balfour declaration was not written by British Foreign Secretary
Arthur James Balfour. It was written by American and English Zionists on
both sides of the Atlantic. Many versions were prepared, discarded and
rewritten before the final version was submitted to Lord Balfour to be
issued in his name. English politicians, such as Lord Robert Cecil, made
minor emendations to the letter which their Zionist "professors" wrote for
them. The Covenant of the League of Nations which provided the
international legal basis for establishing a British protectorate, or
"Mandate" over Palestine was largely written by the Zionist agent, South
African general Jan Smuts. The drafting of the language of the actual
Mandate was written by U.S. Zionist and Harvard Law Professor Felix
Frankfurter at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919.
A MOVEMENT WHICH MADE FALSE PROMISES OF
EQUAL TREATMENT
The false promises of equal treatment for the Arabs are to be found in
the Balfour declaration itself. This declaration was produced by many
hands over many months with deception as its deliberate objective.
"This too, memorable document is not so much a
sentence of English as a verbal mosaic. Drafts for it traveled
back and forth, within England or over the Ocean, to be
scrutinized by some two score draftsmen half co-operating,
half competing with one another, who erased this phrase or
adopted that after much thought. At long last, out of the
store of their rejections and of their acceptances the final
miscellany was chosen, ratified and fixed. There never has
been a proclamation longer prepared, more carefully
produced, more consciously worded."
Whatever is to be found in the Balfour Declaration was
put into it deliberately. There are no accidents in that text. If
there is any vagueness in it this is an intentional vagueness.
"....this nationally issued and nationally endorsed document
was nothing but a calmly planned piece of deception."
(Palestine: The Reality, J.M.N. Jeffries, pp.)
The entire Balfour Declaration cannot here be analyzed. A few
illustrations of its deceptive character will suffice.
"...it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done
which may prejudice the civil and religious nights of existing
non-Jewish communities in Palestine..."
"At the time of the Balfour Declaration the population of
Palestine was 90% Arab and 10% Jew.
"Before this unpalatable reality, what did the framers of
the Balfour Declaration do? By an altogether abject
subterfuge, under colour of protecting Arab interests, they
set out to conceal the fact that the Arabs to all intents
constituted the population of the country. It called them the
'non-Jewish communities in Palestine'! It called the multitude
the non-few; it called the 670,000 the non-60,000; out of a
hundred it called the 91 the non-9. You might just as well
call the British people 'the non-Continental communities in
Great Britain'. It would be as suitable to define the mass of
working men as 'the non-idling communities in the world,' or
the healthy as the "non-bedridden elements amongst
sleepers,' or the sane as 'the non-lunatic section of thinkers'
- or the grass of the countryside as 'the non-dandelion
portion of the pastures'." (ibid, pp. 177-178.)
"The crux arrives with 'civil rights'. What are 'civil rights'?
All turns on this point. If civil rights remain undefined it is
only a mockery to guarantee them. To guarantee anything,
and at the same time not to let anyone know what it is, that
is Alice in Wonderland legislation. 'I guarantee your civil
rights', said the White Queen to Alice in Palestineland. 'Oh,
thank you!' said Alice, 'what are they, please?' 'I'm sure I
can't tell you, my dear,' said the White Queen, 'but I'll
guarantee very hard.'" (ibid, p.179)
As soon as the Zionists set up shop in Palestine they made clear the
real relationship of Jew to Arab. The formal government authority in
Palestine, 1918-1920, was rested in the British Military Government. A
competing, and in fact superior form of government existing side by side
the British Military Government was the Zionist Commission. The attitude
of the British Military Government and of the native Arab population was
summed up by Sir Louis Bols:
"It will be recognized from the foregoing that my own
authority and that of every department of my Administration
is claimed or impinged upon by the Zionist Commission,
and I am definitely of opinion that this state of affairs cannot
continue without grave danger to the public peace and to
the prejudice of my Administration."
"It is no use saying to the Moslem and Christian elements
of the population that our declaration as to the maintenance
of the status quo on our entry into Jerusalem has been
deserved. Facts witness otherwise: the introduction of the
Hebrew tongue as an official language; the setting up of a
Jewish judicature the whole fabric of Government of the
Zionist Commission, of which they are well aware; the
special traveling privileges to members of the Zionist
Commission; these have firmly and absolutely convinced the
non-Jewish elements of our partiality. On the other hand,
the Zionist Commission accuses me and my officers of
anti-Zionism. The situation is intolerable, and in justice to
my officers and myself must be fairly faced."
"This Administration has loyally earned out the wishes of
His Majesty's Government, and has succeeded in so doing
by strict adherence to the laws governing the conduct of the
Military Occupant of Enemy Territory, but this has not
satisfied the Zionists, who appear bent on committing the
temporary Military Administration to a partialist policy
before the issue of the Mandate. It is manifestly impossible
to please partisans who politically claim nothing more than a
"National Home", but in reality will be satisfied with nothing
less than a Jewish State and all that it politically implies."
"I recommend therefore, in the interests of peace, of
development, of the Zionists themselves, that the Zionist
Commission in Palestine be abolished." (ibid,p.359)
A MOVEMENT WHICH DISCARDED ITS OWN SPONSOR
The British Mandate existed only to protect the incoming Zionists from
the native Arabs. Mr. Vladimir Jabotinsky makes this clear in his 1923
title The Iron Wall (We and the Arabs):
"Zionist colonization must either be terminated or carried
out against the wishes of the native population. This
colonization can, therefore, be continued and make
progress only under the protection of a power independent
of the native population - an iron wall, which will be in a
position to resist the pressure to the native population. This
is, in toto, our policy towards the Arabs... A voluntary
reconciliation with the Arabs is out of the question either
now or in the future."
"If you wish to colonize a land in which people are
already living, you must provide a garrison for the land, or
find some 'rich man' or benefactor who will provide a
garrison on your behalf. Or else-or else, give up your
colonization, for without an armed force which will render
physically impossible any attempt to destroy or prevent this
colonization, colonization is impossible, not "difficult', not
'dangerous', but IMPOSSIBLE!...Zionism is a colonization
adventure and therefore it stands or falls by the question of
armed force. It is important.... to speak Hebrew, but,
unfortunately, it is even more important to be able to shoot -
or else I am through with playing at colonizing."
The British soon realized what a grave problem they had created for
themselves by sponsoring Zionism in Palestine. The Arab riots of 1920,
1921, 1929 and 1936-39 brought one British investigating commission
after another to Palestine, all reaching the same conclusion - the cause of
unrest in Palestine was massive Jewish immigration into a land already
inhabited by Arabs.
In 1937 a Royal Investigating Commission headed by Lord Peel
concluded that the proper solution to Jewish-Arab tension was to
partition Palestine, creating a Jewish state, an Arab state and a British
maintained "Polish Corridor" dividing the two. The Zionists reluctantly
accepted the partition proposal but the Arabs did not. From this point on
the British had outlived their usefulness to the Zionists.
In 1944 the terrorist underground Jewish group, the Irgun Zvai Leumi,
began a partisan war to drive the British out of Palestine. The many
bloody misdeeds of this group included assassinating British Soldiers,
raiding British military depots, assassinating the British High
