Excerpt from The Case Against Zionism
In this spirit of dark, chauvinistic, opportunistic, wire-pulling, subterfuging "diplomacy" was the Balfour Declaration conceived, and Palestine, under false pretenses, and contrary to all the principles for which the Allies fought, was given to a minority of acute nationalistic Jews to be the National Home of all Jewry!
The Balfour Declaration is a bit of clever underhanded diplomacy worthy of the shrewdest politician. During the World War it insured for the Allies the loyalty and financial support of the Jews all over the world, and assured England of a permanent suzerainty over the southern portion of Syria for the protection of the Suez Canal, which is the spinal cord of England's colonistic empire. The latter is accomplished in so far as Zionist aspirations can never be reconciled to the legitimate national rights of the Palestinians, and consequently there is going to be constant friction between them, and England will act the part of the innocent bystander and reconciler. The world, outside would regard England as a peace maker whose presence is necessary to secure peace in the land, but those who know the facts will say with the Arab poet:
"Oh thou who givest charity out of the
price of her body,
Woe unto thee! Commit thou not adultery,
nor givest to the poor."
