Who promised Palestine to contemporary Jews? God or Britain?

In 1917 Britain issued the Balfour Declaration (promising Arab Palestine to world Jewry) and began a 30-year military occupation of Palestine to fulfill the promise through what British Colonel Charles Churchill envisioned in 1841 as a simultaneous and Europe-wide Jewish “agitation”

The British government promised Arab Palestine to world Jewry on 11/2/1917 and occupied Jerusalem on 12/11/1917 This British promise was expressed in a letter (dated 11/2/1917) by British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour to Lord Rothschild, a leading member a Jewish banking family in London. But the promise was not a personal letter from Balfour to Rothschild. It was debated by the British Cabinet “comma by comma” through the whole of 1917, approved by US President Wilson and the US Congress, and adhered to by France and Italy. It was also approved at the San Remo Conference held by the Allies in 1920 and incorporated into the Palestine Mandate of the League of Nations in 1922 which was actually an implementation document for the promise (known as the Balfour Declaration). L. Wolf, 1919; B. Tuchman, 1984; H. Cattan, 1969; Y. Hazony, 2000. The following are two DIFFERENT versions of the British promise: the left one was adopted, the right one was not. What is the difference between the two versions and why it is significant?

“His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a National Home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours 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.”

Napoleon promised Arab Palestine to world Jewry in 1799

"Rightful heirs of Palestine! … Arise!… Hasten!..." France “offers to you [the Jews] at this very time, and contrary to expectations, Israel’s patrimony! France calls on you not indeed to conquer your patrimony, nay, only to take over that which has been conquered and, with that nation’s warranty and support, to maintain it against all comers.” Napoleon Bonaparte, 1799, quoted in F. Kobler, 1975.

Soviet Government Plans Jewish Republic in Siberia, Kalenin Says Jewish Telegraphic Agency, January 3, 1923, http://archive.jta.org/article/1926/08/16/2762918/soviet-government-plans-jewish-republic-in-siberia-kalenin-says

The establishment of a Jewish republic in Siberia, under the auspices of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, is the latest plan of the Soviet Government, according to an article published in the New York "Herald-Tribune" by Elias Tobenkin, American Jewish writer and author of the novel "The God of Might", who spent five months in Soviet Russia as correspondent for the "Herald-Tribune."

Mr. Tobenkin reproduces in his article an interview with Michael Kalenin, President of the Soviet Republic, on this matter.

"'I would like to see a Jewish republic established in Russia, in Siberia. It need not be a very big republic--half a million people would do. Nor need the whole of this half million population be exclusively landworkers. Such a Jewish republic could very well consist of a combination of peasants, with home artisans and skilled mechanics,' Kalenin stated….

"The President of the Soviet Republic at this point found himself discussing Zionism. M. Kalenin did not seem familiar with the word 'Palestine' and regularly substituted the word 'Mesopotamia' for it.

"'I understand,' he said, 'that there is a movement on foot in certain countries of Europe and in America to settle Jews on land in Mesopotamia [Palestine]. Of course, we are not going to hinder any one who wishes to leave the country to expatriate himself. But it is an insult to us to say that Jews need to go away from Russia to engage in agriculture or in any other pursuit. There is not the slightest juridical discrimination among nationalities in our country. There is not a trace of a Jewish question in law or in fact anywhere in the Soviet Union.‘… "The Jews, by reason of their not being permitted to take root in the soil, had, before the revolution, a merchant class running up to 42 per cent of the total Jewish inhabitants in Russia. The revolution, with its ban on private trade, left this class economically helpless…"'It is the plan of the Jewish spokesmen in Soviet Russia to give their people a natural footing in the country by converting 20 per cent of the Jewish population into farmers.”

Text of Kalinin’s Statement on Jewish Question in Russia Jewish Telegraphic Agency, July 30, 1926 http://www.jta.org/1926/07/30/archive/text-of-kalinins-statement-on-jewish-question-in-russia

The statement of M. Kalinin, chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviets, dealing with the Jewish question in Soviet Russia and particularly with the Jewish Colonization question and the opposition manifested against it by some peasant elements….

“The first stages of the revolution fell most severely upon the small traders and the artisans, upon just that section of the population which consisted almost exclusively of Jews... The small nationalities feel that the Soviet Government is a real mother, not a step-mother. We have discovered among us peoples of whose existence no one knew and today they are equals among equals. All of them enjoy national autonomy. Only the Jews dispersed among the other nationalities could not obtain territorial autonomy, although their numbers, from two-and-a-half to three million people in the Soviet Union, gives them the right to autonomy... So the Jews have asked the Soviet Governments to provide them with land. The Government of the Soviet Union realized that the greatest part of the Jewish masses can be saved from ruin and destruction only by settling them on the land and for this reason a committee was formed for settling the Jewish toiling masses on the land... The Jews have by fate been made accustomed to life in a temperate Southern climate. They live in the Ukraine, Poland and South Russia. Czarism did not allow them to go northward and Siberia was closed to them... So the Government seeks to settle them in places where the climate and other conditions are not dissimilar from those to which they are accustomed. During the Czarist regime, a great number of Jews emigrated to America and of late there is the idea of settling most of the Jews in Palestine, an idea supported by foreign Jewish capitalists. This movement is still very strong. The Zionists wage a campaign against the Soviet Government, enticing the Jewish impoverished masses to Palestine where they fall into slavery to British and Jewish capital. The Soviet Government cannot sit by and see not the rich man but the beguiled Jewish poor learning its territory. The Jewish communists, not those communists who occupy important positions with us who are only Jews by descent, but those Jewish communists who live among the Jewish masses have approached the Government asking it to settle in the Soviet Union those emigrants who would go to Palestine and for this purpose to raise the funds which are being collected abroad for the settling of the Jews on the land in Russia."

In 1943, US Army Colonel Hoskins warned President Roosevelt against the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine

In a 1943 secret memo to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, special envoy to the Middle East US Army Lt. Col. Harold Hoskins, warned against the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine: “… Not only you as President but the American people as a whole should realize that, if the American government decides to support the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine… they are committing the American people to the use of force in that area, since only by force can a Jewish state in Palestine be established or maintained.”----Ben Bradley, “The secret files: Washington, Israel and the Gulf,” videocassette (60 min.), Washington, D.C.: WETA, 1991.

“Even in 1946, when the horrors of the Holocaust were still raw, [Albert] Einstein’s views were unchanged. In an interview with the Forverts, Einstein warned that a “Jewish commonwealth” where a majority of the population is Arab would be “unjust and impractical.” Testifying in Washington that same year to an international committee examining the Palestine question, Einstein said, “The state idea is not in my heart.” If Einstein’s opposition to a Jewish state was disappointing for Zionists, then his religious views disappointed religious Jews as well as atheists.” Forward, 11/22/2015, http://forward.com/news/325189/what-was-einsteins-relationship-to-judaism-and-zionism /

The Palestine question was the main concern during the historic encounter between President Roosevelt and King Ibn Saud in 1945

“President Roosevelt took the initiative of inviting Ibn Saud to meet with him for the first time in February 1945 on board of the USS Quincy on Great Bitter Lake in the Suez Canal. At the meeting, following warm pleasantries and evidence of mutual goodwill (including Roosevelt's gift to the king of one of his wheelchairs), the entire meeting became a vigorous exchange on the Palestine question. This had been the central theme of earlier correspondence between the two leaders, beginning with a letter from Ibn Saud to the president dated November 29, 1938, and the president’s reply of January 2, 1939. In July 1943, Roosevelt had ordered Harold Hoskins, the son of American missionaries and a speaker of Arabic, to Saudi Arabia to determine by personal contact with Ibn Saud whether the king would be willing to meet with Chaim Weizman or other representatives of the Jewish Agency. The purpose would be to seek a ‘solution of basic problems affecting Palestine acceptable to both Arabs and Jews.’ Hoskins was personally well received. His report to Roosevelt recounted a weeklong visit to Riyadh, where he held frequent sessions alone with Ibn Saud. The king was appreciative of the opportunity Hoskins offered to speak frankly on many sensitive topics without an interpreter. The subject dealt with were many, but Palestine was the main concern. The king chose his words to the president with the utmost care. He said he could neither enter into such talks himself nor authorize a representative to do so. He feared a stage-by-stage wipeout of the Palestinian Arab population; also, he revealed a personal hatred of Weizman, based on Weizman’s alleged attempt to bribe him with 20 million pounds sterling, to be ‘guaranteed’ by President Roosevelt. The king later told me that Weizman’s proposed intermediary was H. St. John Philby.” Hoskins made his report to Roosevelt in person in a one-hour breakfast talk on September 27, 1943, only a few days before the scheduled arrival in Washington of Princes Faisal and Khalid. To Hoskins, Roosevelt expressed full understanding of the reason for the king’s refusal to meet with Weizman, and the president also showed irritation that his name had been mentioned as a guarantor, for which, he said, there was no basis in fact. The nearest he ever came to bordering on a discussion of this subject, Roosevelt said, was a suggestion he made several years earlier to Stephen Wise, chairman of the American Zionist Emergency Council, that if the Jews wanted to get more land in Palestine, they might well think of buying arable land outside of Palestine and assisting Arabs financially to move from Palestine to such areas. Roosevelt also told Hoskins that he favored an international trusteeship for Palestine, as recommended by the Department of State.”

Ethnic cleansing & River Diversion

* Israeli historian and political scientist Ilan Pappe describes and documents the planning and execution of the ethnic cleansing of Palestine by 11 Jewish settlers sitting in a room beneath Marxist-style posters that carried slogans such as ‘Brothers in Arms:’

* “In this building [the Red House in the Jewish settlement of Tel-Aviv], on a cold Wednesday afternoon, 10 March 1948, a group of eleven men, veteran Zionist leaders together with young military Jewish officers, put the final touches to a plan [Plan Dalet] for the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.”

* “The orders came with a detailed description of the methods to be employed to forcibly evict the people: large-scale intimidation; laying siege to and bombarding villages and population centres; setting fire to homes, properties and goods; expulsion; demolition; and, finally, planting mines among the rubble to prevent any of the expelled inhabitants from returning. Each unit was issued with its own list of villages and neighbourhoods as the targets of this master plan.”

At the end of 2016 there were 6.4 million Jewish settlers or Jewish Israelis who came from over 100 countries and who live in Palestine-Israel. There were also 12.70 million Muslim and Christian Palestinians who are the native of Palestine and who live inside and outside Palestine-Israel (millions of them living in 58 UN registered Palestinian refugee camps in Palestine-Israel, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon for more than six decades). The Palestinian refugees continue to struggle to return to the homes from which they were expelled or fled in 1948 and thereafter. Israel continues to deny the Palestinian refugees the right to return to their country because they are not Jewish. This is the core of the Palestine-Israel conflict.

Munther J. Haddadin, a senior negotiator in Jordan’s delegation to the Middle East Peace Process, once suggested that “the Kingdom of Jordan should perform a detailed assessment of the costs it has incurred in housing the waves of people it has received since 1948, along with the natural growth this has caused, including the increased cost of providing utilities. It should seek compensation for its expenses when the issues of refugees are addressed in the context of Middle Eastern peace.” Munther J.

Article 2: Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.

United Nations Resolution 194 of December 11, 1948 Backs the Right of Return for the Palestinians

The UN General Assembly Resolution 194:

11. Resolves that the refugees wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbours should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date, and that compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return and for loss of or damage to property which, under principles of international law or in equity, should be made good by the Governments or authorities responsible; Instructs the Conciliation Commission to facilitate the repatriation, resettlement and economic and social rehabilitation of the refugees and the payment of compensation, and to maintain close relations with the Director of the United Nations Relief for Palestine Refugees and, through him, with the appropriate organs and agencies of the United Nations.

The Israeli Law of Return July 5, 1950

1. “Every Jew has the right to come to this country as an oleh [a Jew immigrating]”

4. Every Jew who has immigrated into this country before the coming into force of this Law, and every Jew who was born in this country, whether before or after the coming into force of this Law, shall be deemed to be a person who has come to this country as an oleh under this Law.

“Palestinians saw through the euphemisms that emerged between 1950 and 1952: the Law of Return blocked Palestinian return, the Law of Entry blocked Palestinian entry, and the Law of Nationality blocked Palestinian nationality. These “laws” deleted Palestinian rights. While Jews from anywhere in the world could enter and gain citizenship as a right under the Law of Return, today close to ten million Palestinians are denied that right and need a permit to enter, a permit to reside, a permit to work, a permit to move, a permit to exist, and so on.” Nadia Abu-Zahra and Adah Kay, Unfree in Palestine: Registration, Documentation and Movement Restriction, PlutoPress, 2013.

4B. For the purposes of this Law, "Jew" means a person who was born of a Jewish mother or has become converted to Judaism and who is not a member of another religion."

Israel Bares 200,000 Documents in Yemeni Baby-Kidnapping Scandal

ERUSALEM (JTA) — Israel inaugurated an online database of some 200,000 pages of declassified documents about the long-controversial “Yemenite children affair” in a ceremony in this city.

By making the documents public Wednesday, the state hopes to end the controversy, which has persisted in Israel for decades.

Since the 1950, more than 1,000 Israelis families have alleged their children were systematically kidnapped from Israeli hospitals and put up for adoption in the country and abroad. The claims of the families, mostly immigrants from Yemen, were generally dismissed by authorities... Three government-appointed committees have looked into the Yemenite children affair, and each concluded that the majority of the children died in the hospital and were buried without the families being informed...

Nurit Koren, a Knesset member for the ruling Likud party who chairs the Knesset panel tasked with researching the affair and whose cousin disappeared, welcomed the release of the documents but said it was “just the beginning of the path,” in a radio interview. Koren said the database included just half of the 400,000 documents generated by the three investigative committee. She also pointed out that one committee found the Yemenite children affair continued until 1966, while the database only includes documents from 1948 to 1954.

“Jewish experience with Palestinian colonisation has proved that for every family settled on the land, four additional families can be settled in towns and villages, to live from industry, commerce, maritime trades, transportation, the professions, etc. … Thus the total absorptive capacity of Palestine, even within present mandate frontiers, can easily reach 5 millions[sic].

Israel Marks First-Ever National Day Remembering Jewish Exodus from Arab Lands 850,000 Refugees Forgotten No More

(Haaretz) — For Meir Kahlon, chairman of the World Organization of Jews from Arab Countries, this is a historic week. For the first time, Israel has officially recognized his suffering, that of his family and some 850,000 other Jews who left, were expelled or fled from their homes in Syria, Libya, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Egypt, Lebanon and other Arab and Muslim countries around the time of the founding of the State of Israel and afterwards.

“Until now, they spoke about the Arab refugees and not the Jewish refugees. Today we are marking the remembrance day commemorating the expulsion of the Jews of Arab lands,” shouted Kahlon emotionally into the microphone at Bar-Ilan University, where a seminar on the topic was held last Thursday with the title “Exodus, Emigration, Expulsion and Uprooting.”

November 30 is the official day the State of Israel marks for the first time as the national day of commemoration for Jewish refugees from Arab lands and Iran, based on a law sponsored by MK Shimon Ohayon (Yisrael Beiteinu) and passed this summer by the Knesset. The date has a special meaning – it is the day after November 29, the day in 1947 that the United Nations General Assembly approved the partition plan for the Palestine Mandate and the creation of a Jewish state. November 30, the day after the decision, is the day the Arabs started their concerted attacks on the Jews.

“The Arab nations did not accept the UN partition plan, and the riots against the Jews started. We want to remember this day as the Nakba [catastrophe in Arabic, used to refer by Palestinians to Israel’s Independence Day] Day of the Jews of Arab lands,” Kahlon told Haaretz. “It is not just the Nakba of the Palestinians – it is also our Nakba, Jews of Arab lands who were expelled and slaughtered.”

Almost a million Jews lived in Arab and Muslim countries in 1948 when Israel was founded. The largest Jewish community was in Morocco, with 250,000 Jews. Today are only a few tens of thousands of Jews left in all the Arab countries together...

“Every time the world talks about refugees from the Middle East [they] only emphasize the Palestinian refugees. The fact is there were two populations of refugees,” says Dr. Stanley Urman. Urman, a founder of JJAC, its current executive vice president and former executive director, lives in Montreal. The organization’s goal is make sure that the narrative of the suffering and rights of the Jews from Arab lands are also on the negotiating table, since they were also refugees as part of the same struggle, at the same time and in similar numbers, he says.

In recent years, Urman has been researching the UN’s activities concerning the refugees, and points out the lack of equality in the UN’s treatment of Palestinian and Jewish refugees. He counted 197 UN General Assembly and Security Council decisions between 1946 and 2014 concerning Palestinian refugees. Yet there is not a single UN resolution that emphasizes the suffering and rights of the Jews from Arab lands, he points out.

The exception is the famous Security Council Resolution 242 passed in November 1967 after the Six-Day War. “Achieving a just settlement of the refugee problem,” states section 2(b) of the resolution, without providing any details of which refugees it is talking about. Representatives of Britain and the United States said afterwards that they used this wording intentionally so as to also recognize the rights of the Jewish refugees, says Urman.

Pictures: 38 Members of 'Lost Tribe' Make Aliyah From India

“Tears flowed freely as a group of 38 Bnei Menashe, descendants of a Lost Tribe of Israel, were greeted by relatives at Ben Gurion Airport after making Aliyah yesterday from India.

The immigrants, who hail from the northeastern Indian state of Mizoram, were brought to Israel by the organization, which recently received permission from the Israeli government to bring 900 Bnei Menashe to the Jewish state over the next 15 months.

The Bnei Menashe are descendants of the tribe of Menashe (or Manasseh), one of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel which were exiled by the Assyrian empire after the death of King Solomon more than 2,700 years ago.” Israel National News, 12/27/2013,

Some 4,566 French immigrants arrived in Israel from January through Sept. 1, surpassing Russia, with 2,632 immigrants, and Ukraine, with 3,252 immigrants. The United States, whose Jewish population is more than 10 times that of France, has sent 2,218 new immigrants to Israel so far this year.”

France agrees Holocaust SNCF rail payout with US

“France and the US have agreed a compensation package for Holocaust victims deported by a French rail company during World War Two.

The two sides announced a $60m (£40m) compensation fund, paid for by the French government, on Friday.

Reparations will be paid to those transported by state rail company SNCF to Nazi concentration camps.

US lawmakers have previously attempted to bar SNCF from rail contracts due to its actions in WW2.

The rail company moved 76,000 Jews to Nazi camps during the Holocaust.

However, the company, and some historians, have argued that SNCF was forced to assist the deportations by the occupying German army.

In 2010, the SNCF chief executive expressed "profound sorrow and regret" for the consequences of the company's actions.

Under the deal, both Holocaust survivors and their spouses or descendants will receive compensation. Officials say thousands could be eligible.

The agreement still needs to be voted on by the French parliament.

SNCF is currently bidding on US rail contracts, including in the state of Maryland, where lawmakers have pushed for reparations for survivors.”

Israel to ramp up Birthright investment

NEW YORK (JTA) -- Israel's government will more than double its investment in the popular Birthright Israel program. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made the announcement Thursday night before 3,000 program participants in Jerusalem, The Jerusalem Post reported.

"My government will give more than double its investment in Birthright, and over the next few years we will invest more than $100 million in Birthright," said Netanyahu, according to the Post. "Together with private donations we can increase the number of people to 50,000 a year."

Considered one of the most successful initiatives in the Jewish world, Birthright Israel provides free 10-day trips to Israel for Jewish young adults aged 18-26. Some 30,000 people participate in the program each year; more than a quarter-million have participated since its inception in 2000.
