Palestine: If America won’t do what is needed Europe should and here’s why
According to Zionism’s version of history God was its estate agent but here on Planet Earth Britain assumed that role. It did so in 1917 when it gave the Zionist enterprise a spurious degree of legitimacy with the Balfour Declaration. With this infamous document Britain gave away territory it did not possess, Palestine, to enable alien Jewish immigrants to create a homeland there; and Britain did this without consulting the indigenous and majority Arab population.
Those not familiar with the complete truth of history might assume that the British government of the day gave Zionism the declaration it wanted out of concern for the wellbeing of Jews. That was not all the case. Britain at the time needed the Zionists and their influence and was prepared to pay the price they asked for it.
As I document in detail in my book Zionism: The Real Enemy of the Jews, there were three reasons for the Balfour Declaration.
One was that Britain’s leaders of the day didn’t want any more Jews coming to the UK. Between 1881 and 1915 about three million Jews left their Russian homeland in search of a better life in Western Europe and America. It was the biggest mass migration in history. Russian Jews left their homeland in such vast numbers because of poverty and persecution including pogroms. And it wasn’t only the British government that didn’t want to take in any more Jews. Britain’s already assimilated Jewish community didn’t want any more of their co-religionists. At a point when the mass migration was underway England’s Chief Rabbi appealed to Russia’s Jews to stay at home and not even to think about coming to England.
Another reason (the main one) for the Balfour Declaration was that in November 1917 Britain was close to defeat in World War 1. Because of the effectiveness of German u-boats in preventing supplies of all kinds reaching Britain, the Admiralty warned government that surrender could not be ruled out. Britain desperately needed America to enter the war. Zionism said it had highly placed and very influential people in America who could press for that happen.
In the House of Commons in July 1937 Winston Churchill, then excluded from office and campaigning for Hitler to be taken seriously, confirmed that Zionism had delivered what it promised. Here’s what he said about why, really, the Balfour Declaration was issued.

It is a delusion to suppose this was a mere act of crusading enthusiasm or quixotic philanthropy. On the contrary, it was a measure taken in due need of the war with the object of promoting the general victory of the Allies, for which we expected and received valued and important assistance.
UNQUOTE
The third and related reason for the Balfour Declaration was Britain’s need for Zionist influence to keep Russia in the war.
Germany’s contribution to Zionism’s success in creating a state in Palestine was the Nazi holocaust.
Prior to it, and as I have noted in previous posts, most Jews of the world, including some very eminent Jewish Americans, were opposed to Zionism’s enterprise. They believed it was morally wrong. They believed it would lead to unending conflict. But most of all they feared that if Zionism was allowed by the major powers to have its way it would one day provoke anti-Semitism.
In that light I think it could and should be said that if there had been no Nazi holocaust there almost certainly would have been no Israel because there would not have been enough Jewish support – emotional, political, financial and other – to enable Zionism to create a state for Jews in the Arab heartland.
