2. Zionist Movement
• Difference between religion and culture: People of the Jewish religion are of many cultures.
• History of persecution - pogroms
• Ancient Israel vs. a homeland vs. a state
![Page 9: The Middle East in the 20th Century](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042601/554ef844b4c90580698b4845/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Anti-Jewish feelings were manifested in a variety of ways:
• Limited rights
• Discrimination in government postsex. Dreyfus Affair, France
• Scapegoating
• Pogroms
• Violence against person and/or property
![Page 10: The Middle East in the 20th Century](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042601/554ef844b4c90580698b4845/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• A widespread pogrom was carried out in Russia in 1905. What else occurred in Russia in that year?

Theodor Herzl (father of modern Israel)
led the first Zionist Congress of the WZO.
"At Basel I founded the Jewish State...Perhaps in five years, and certainly in fifty, everyone will know it.”
Sept 3, 1897, Basel, Switzerland.

He was right, almost down to
the day!
![Page 13: The Middle East in the 20th Century](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042601/554ef844b4c90580698b4845/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
But Where?
• Some Zionists insisted on Palestine as a homeland - others were less definite.
• What if self-determination dislocates another group?
• Madagascar was one turn-of-the-century suggestion.
![Page 14: The Middle East in the 20th Century](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042601/554ef844b4c90580698b4845/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
At their fist meeting Balfour asked Weizmann why the homeland must be Palestine:
"Anything else would be idolatry. "Mr. Balfour, supposing I were to offer you Paris instead of London, would you take it?"
"But Dr. Weizmann, we have London."
"That is true, but we had Jerusalem when London was a marsh."
![Page 15: The Middle East in the 20th Century](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042601/554ef844b4c90580698b4845/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Arthur Balfour: 1917 Balfour Report
• Chiam Weizmann lobbied and was given a written guarantee of a Jewish National Home in Palestine.
• Is that a separate state or something within a mixed-population Palestine?
![Page 16: The Middle East in the 20th Century](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042601/554ef844b4c90580698b4845/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Churchill White Paper: 1922Churchill White Paper: 1922 Redefined British interpretation of a Jewish National Home:
•Palestine will not be “as Jewish as England is English”, but rather “a center in which Jewish people as a whole may take, on grounds of religion and race, an interest and a pride.”
•confirmed the right of Jewish immigration BUT stipulated that this should not exceed the economic absorptive capacity of the country
= a natural limit
![Page 17: The Middle East in the 20th Century](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042601/554ef844b4c90580698b4845/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

3. Arab Nationalism
• The Arabs are tribal and cannot be seen as a homogeneous group.
• Western powers have made some dubious moves.• Inter-tribal competition has hindered efforts at united
action.• A longstanding history in Palestine before the
dislocation of the Palestinian Arabs has caused tension with the Zionists (later, the Israelis).
• The Arab League and other organizations have been created to help Arab nationalists meet their aspirations.
![Page 19: The Middle East in the 20th Century](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042601/554ef844b4c90580698b4845/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
1915-16 MacMahon Letters
Britain promised independence in the Arab world if there was a revolt against the Turks.
BUT:
• Precise borders of a future Arab state are not agreed (Britain did wish not to prejudice the interests of her ally, France).
• Palestine was not mentioned by name and its inclusion in the Arab area remains a source of some dispute amongst historians.
![Page 20: The Middle East in the 20th Century](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042601/554ef844b4c90580698b4845/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Sykes-Picot, 1916 = Brit/Fr sell-out
• What would be done with the Ottoman Empire after the war?
• Feisal and the Arabs were guaranteed self-determination by MacMahon and others
So-what: Arab mistrust of the
“imperialists” is born.
• Later, Feisal is given Iraq and his lazy bother is given Transjordan; the brother ended up being the most successful.

4. The Mandate Years
• Jewish immigration
• Pressure on the land
• Inter-group rivalry/conflict
• Haganah (Irgun)
• Jewish support of the British war effort
![Page 23: The Middle East in the 20th Century](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042601/554ef844b4c90580698b4845/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Palestine was Divided in 1922Palestine was Divided in 1922
• Palestine included the small area to the West.
•Transjordan included the West Bank and lands east of the River Jordan
![Page 25: The Middle East in the 20th Century](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042601/554ef844b4c90580698b4845/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• 80% Transjordan
• 20% Palestine

Jewish settlers posed a problem (self-determination)
![Page 27: The Middle East in the 20th Century](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042601/554ef844b4c90580698b4845/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• In another attempt to appease the Arabs, the British restricted Jewish immigration in March 1938 to 3,000 for the following 6-month period. Consequently, Jewish immigration fell from its record high of 66,000 in 1935 to a little more than 14,000 in 1938. The Arabs were not pacified by the concession and continued their attacks. By the end of the year, nearly 300 Jews had been killed and more than 600 wounded.
• The Zionists persistently and naively clung to the belief that the Arabs would eventually accept their presence in Palestine, and recognize the benefits that Jewish settlement was bringing to the country. In 1934, Ben Gurion told Palestinian nationalist Musa Alami that the Zionists were bringing "a blessing to the Arabs of Palestine" and that they had no good reason to oppose Jewish settlement.
• Alami replied: "I would prefer that the country remain impoverished and barren for another hundred years, until we ourselves are able to develop it on our own."

Irgun (ETZEL)
• Violent arm or Haganah - example: bombed the King Davd Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946 killing almost 100 Britons).
• Warning to ETZEL in 1947 to cool it! Why would David Ben Gurion want to rope in ETZEL?
![Page 33: The Middle East in the 20th Century](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042601/554ef844b4c90580698b4845/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Who really owned the land?• Even in 1947, most
land was Arab-owned.
• But, the proportion of population had shifted significantly in favour of the Jews since 1922.

Part Two:5. Creation of Israel
• Zionist lobby - Chiam Weizmann was a successful chemist for the Allied war effort in 1914.
• Western Holocaust guilt + lobbying.• Palestinian Zionist support for UK in WW2.• For UK partition as a means of relieving
regional tension in Palestine.

WHAT ARE THESE DPs SAYING ABOUT BRITISH IMMIGRATION POLICIES AFTER THE WAR?

Why did the Brits want out?
• acts of violence committed by some or all of the Jewish military organizations undermined British resolve to remain in the region.
• Haganah's operation of illegal immigration which became a source of considerable embarrassment to the British government.
• dire post-war economic situation forced withdrawl from considerable portions of her Empire including India.
• Britain's now depended on US$, which gave US leverage over Palestine. US Jewish opinion rallied to the Zionist cause: Truman, was seeking public support in both Congressional and Presidential elections -- and was therefore responsive to the Jewish lobby.

1947 - United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP):• April, 1947 British refer Palestine question to the U.N. • Recommended partitioning Palestine into a Jewish an Arab state (Jerusalem to be an international city). • Adopted 29th November, 1947 (Resolution 181: voted 33 to 13; 10 abstained). • In a rather unusual moment of history, the USA and the USSR supported the resolution (the Russians wanted the UK out of Palestine) whilst
Britain abstained, promising only to evacuate her troops by August 1948 (the British departed three months earlier on May 14).

Israeli War of IndependenceFirst Arab-Israeli War
Palestinian War • After David Ben Gurion declared Israel’s
creation, the Arab world reacted by invading in an effort to destroy the self-proclaimed nation.
• The USSR supported Israel with arms.
• Ironically, the Arabs’ desire to isolate the Jews during the Mandate years helped the latter to become more economically independent.

8. Six Day War, 1967• Expulsion of UNEF1• Nasser stated publicly that he would destroy Israel -
Israel attacks first!• The Egyptians feared losing leadership to the
Syrians = posturing.• The Israelis knew they had to fight a maneuvering
campaign, not a static war of attrition (Napoleon’s doctrine of fighting from the centre).
• Importance of the air war.• Nassar lies to Hussein over Israeli air losses.• Syria doesn’t commit its Republican Guard in Golan
