Lakewood Fellow -“The British only grudgingly wrote the Balfour Declaration due to the pressure the Zionists put on them, and because they felt it would further their relationship with the Wilson administration who’s top aides were Zionists. It would not have happened without the Zionists”
The fact is the British Gov. did do it. No Gov. who hates Jews would do such a thing, pressure or Not.
“The British didn’t write it due to any love of Jews and it doesn’t follow that they would have been happy to let masses of Jews emigrate to their colonies when every other country on earth found a pretense not too.”
Stop comparing between their own country and Palestine. Palestine meant nothing to the English. They would have let in a lot more, otherwise they would have had this policy a long time before ’39. The reason historically to deny the immigration was only because of Arab opposition – due to Zionism. You can tell yourself any lie you want, but the historical truth speaks for itself!
