- Synopsis
- This book shows how the Arab-Israeli conflict developed by looking beyond the legality argument to the men behind the policies.*BR**BR*It argues that Zionism was adopted by the British Government in its 1917 Balfour Declaration, primarily as a way to control immigration. *BR**BR*The book places the violent reaction of the Palestinians to mass Jewish immigration in the context of Zionism, and revisits the controversies over the question of self-determination, and the partition of Palestine.*BR**BR*Arguing that Israel was created through an act of conquest and subjugation, the book concludes with a sobering analysis of the conflict arguing that neither Jews nor Arabs were to blame for starting it.
