Britain in Palestine 1917-1948
I see the media mentions nothing about this in Israel-Palestine war October 2023? 4:57 was that Baron Abraham Edmond Benjamin James de Rothschild? 5:24, so..no one wanted Judea in Europe or indeed Russia way back then either? interesting. I wonder why??? 5:31 Hertzil formed the the modern conception of Zionism (Austrian Empire [now in Hungary]—died July 3, 1904, Edlach, Austria), founder of the political form of Zionism, a movement to establish a Jewish homeland. His pamphlet The Jewish State (1896) 5:53 Chaim Weizmann. 5:57 see The Brandeis-Weizmann Dispute. 7:15 this included Christians, but everyone forgets. 7:46 A very important point right there.
Britain in Palestine 1917-1948 investigates the contradictory promises and actions which defined British Mandatory rule in Palestine and laid the groundwork for the Nakba (the catastrophe) and the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. The roots of the contemporary social, political, economic, and environmental landscape of Palestine and Israel can be traced back to this period, making it essential viewing for understanding Britain’s legacy in the region and the situation on the ground today.
