The Division Project

On the 7th of June 1937, the Royal Committee headed by Lord Bill issued a report that dealt with demonstrating the point of view of both the Arab and Jew leaders, the committee recommended that the Palestinian case could not be solved, except on the basis of the suggestion of dividing Palestine, the main terms of the division project were as follows:

1.      Establishing a Jewish state that divides the northern and western part of Palestine, the state extends along the coast from Lebanon boundaries till the south of Jaffa, it includes Acre, Haifa, safad, Typerias, Nazarete and Tel Aviv. The state would will be linked with Britain by a friendship treaty and alliance.

2.      The Sacred places are to be under the British Mandate including (Jerusalem and Bethlehem),  they will be linked with Jaffa through a passage including Allud, Al Ramla and Nazarete too, and the Mandate will be in charge of protecting such places.

The Palestinian lands will include (the southern and eastern parts of Palestine), including the city of Jaffa till east of Jordan, it will be linked with Britain by a friendship treaty and alliance.

4.      The Jewish state is to pay a financial aid to the Arabic state, while Britain is to donate one million sterling to the Arab state.

5.    A so-called exchange of people between the Arabic and Jewish states is to take place, where the Arabs who were 325 thousand are to be transmitted from the Jewish state to the Arabic state gradually, and a land is to be prepared for them in Beersheba after accomplishing the irrigation projects.

6.      A Custom treaty is to be signed between the two states to unify taxes between them over most of the imported goods as much as possible.

As for the Jewish settlement, the areas of lands that the Zionist institutions and individuals had obtained by the year 1936 amounted to 1.200.000 sq.m., and the number of settlements multiplied, its number was estimated to be 203 settlement, thus the number of settlers increased from 30 thousand in 1927 to reach 98 thousand in 1936.

The Palestinian Arab reaction to the division resolution was to continue revolting. That resulted in the delay of passing the resolution of division. The revolution remained flared until the Second World War broke out.

On 23rd, November A38 A.C., “Malcom Macdonald”, the British Minister of Colonies, gave an important speech in the Council of Commons explaining the status quo in Palestine. The statement demonstrated an understanding of the Arab attitudes and their points of view when he said, “The problem of refugees in Mid-Europe will never be settled at the expense of  Palestine but should be solved in a wider field.” He continued saying, “The Arab people have inhabited those countries several centuries ago, but their views were not taken into consideration when Balfour Promise was declared, nor when the Deed of Mandate was formulated. The Arabs, during the ensuing twenty years of the war, have been watching that pacific invasion, which foreign people are carrying out, and from time to time they present their belief with loud protest. They have become frightened that their destiny in their country will be submitted to the domination of this new active people in the fields of economy, politics and trade. If I were an Arab I would be horrified too.”

After this statement, the detainees were set free on 27th, December 1938 A.C. in order to permit Palestine and the Arabs to take part in the next London Conference. Meanwhile, Some Arab delegates from Egypt, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and East Jordan went to the conference. On 7th, February 1939, the Round Table Conference was inaugurated to be ended with disappointment, and on 17th, May 1939 A.C. the British Government issued what was known as “The White Book” including the following:

1. Constitution:

In the tenth term it stated that “The aim of His Majesty’s government  is to constitute, within ten years, an independent Palestinian government and be joined with the United Kingdom by a treaty.

2. Immigration:

The government of His Majesty ought to allow more expansion of the Jewish national homeland through immigration making such immigration conditional on the Arabs’ approval.

3. Territories:

Term 16 in the “White Book” stated that, “The country is to be divided into areas. In one part, land transference from Arabs to Jews is forbidden. In another part it is specified while in the third part it is open.

After the end of the Second World War, the Zionist world  found out that Britain was a powerless state after war, but it had a worldly position in USA, which maintained its power and had its interests in the Middle East. So, the Zionist world  doubled its political activities on the upper American levels taking into account that it was the only power capable to exercise pressure on the British government to yield for the Zionist requests. It adopted many means; the most important was the diplomatic as it depended on continuous stress by the Jewish Agency in Britain. The second means was to carry out the set strategy based on the American pressure on the British government. Thirdly it practiced stress by terrorism tactics through the escalation of terrorist operations and the infliction of painful strikes on the Mandate administration.

The Zionist establishment and the Jewish agency effectively persisted in carrying out what they desired. So they tried to win the American Leadership including the American President “Hary Truman” who no sooner had he resided in the White House than he dispatched a message to the British Prime Minister “Churchil” on 24th July 1945. Also, the new British Prime Minister “Atly” was requested in a message forwarded to him on 31st August 1945, to let (100.000) Jews enter Palestine.

In reply to the American message, Britain proposed on 19th October 1945 A.C. that U.S.A. would share with it the responsibility of planning Palestine Policy through the formation of An Anglo-American Inquiry Committee to study the Palestinian problem.

The Division Resolution:

In September 1947, A.C, a UN Committee was formed based on a request by the British government, called “UNSCOP” UNITED NATIONS SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON PALESTINE. The committee comprised eleven members excluding the permanent five great states in Security Council alleging that their participation would lead to a biased report. The eleven members were selected from Australia, Sweden, Canada, India, Czechoslovakia, Iran, Holland, Guatemala, Peru, Uruguay and Yugoslavia. The Swedish judge, “Imil Sandostrome” was appointed a chairman of it. He had to submit, in September, a comprehensive report to solve the problem according to the committee’s proposals.

The Arabs protested on sending another committee to Palestine, so, they voted against the resolution. The formation of the committee was apparently biased against Arabs because some of its members were either pro-Zionist or subordinates to American influence.

The committee finalized its report on 31st, August 1947 A.C. and forwarded it to the UN General Assembly. The report contained eleven recommendations.

The division resolution calls for:

Dividing Palestine into an Arab state and a Jewish one. A part of it will be under the international mandate, administered by the United Nations. About 56% of it, should be to the Jews.

The two states will be independent after a two-year interim period, starting on the first of September 1947 A.C., approving the constitution for each of them, signing an economical treaty, establishing an economic union, unifying the customs tariffs and the currency.

Also, the division resolution stipulates the organization of the Jewish immigration.

After exposing those recommendations, the High Arab board had already declared its refusal of those plans. The next day of publishing the report, “Golda Mayerson”, the representative of the Jewish Agency expressed implicitly her acceptance of the most major parts of the project.

Arabs, in general and Palestinians in particular expressed their absolute resentment of this project. All Arab peoples expressed their resentment by staging demonstrations in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon and in most Arab countries.

Accordingly, the political committee of the Arab league decided to meet in Soufar in Lebanon on 6th, September so that they would study the context of the committee’s report and subsequently, take a unified Arab political action.

As a result of the meeting, the following decisions were taken:

The political committee maintained that the execution of those proposals constituted an actual danger, which threatened peace and security in Palestine and the Arab countries. Therefore, it had decided to resist, by all effective means, so as to prevent the execution of those proposals.

The political committee maintained that it should disclose to all Arab people the real dangers facing the case of Palestine. Therefore, it called upon every Arab to offer all that he can from help and sacrifice.

The political committee had decided to notify the governments of USA and Britain, that any decision taken, regarding Palestine Problem, without stating the establishment of an independent Arab State, would prognosticate dangerous disorders in the Middle East.

The committee had decided to request the states of the league to offer the most urgent possible aid for the Palestinians, like money, arms and men.

·       Due to the division resolution, Palestinian Arabs started resisting the Zionist settling activities, with the Arab support. This resistance extended to spread all over the country, where severe battles broke out during which all weapons were used, thus claiming many lives.

·     Due to those dangerous turmoil, the international Security Council met on 19th, March to study the serious status in Palestine. It became evident that the division plan could never be peacefully executed. So the Jews decided to thwart any attempt by the Security Council that might invalidate the division resolution. To impose the status quo policy on the United Nations, the Jewish assault in Nakhshoun’ enabled them to seize the Arab Qastal village in Jerusalem province.

·       On 9th, April Abdel Qader Al Hosaini, succeeded in a strong military battle in expelling the Jews out of Qastal. He was martyred there, but soon the Jews returned after hours, taking advantage of the citizens’ preoccupation in bidding farewell to their leader. Hence they occupied the village and completely destroyed it. Under such blood thirst assailing policy, the Zionists committed “Deir Yasin” massacre, at the outskirts of Jerusalem. They broke into the village with heavy arms, slaughtered and mutilated the inhabitants. They murdered (250) Arabs, mostly women and children. The Jewish writer “John Kimy” described this horrible massacre as the most atrocious stigma in the history of Jews”. He did not know then that the Jews would commit what is far more heinous.

The English were of great help to the Jews in realizing their aims. They trained them during the mandate period and provided them with arms. Moreover, when the English withdrew from any area in 1948, they handed it over to the Jews. This phase of the year 1948, ended, and it was given the name of the Catastrophe of 1948, which marked the Jews occupation of most lands of Palestine and expelling its citizens except in Gaza, West Bank and East Jerusalem. Meanwhile, the “White House” had already summoned the representative of the Jewish agency in Washington “Ilyaho Eishtein” notifying him that USA had resolved to actually recognize the independence of Israel provided that Washington should receive a request regarding this recognition.

On the 14th May, at six o’clock exactly, according to Washington time, the end of the British Mandate over Palestine was declared. At one minute past six, the establishment of the State of Israel was declared. At eleven minutes past six, the USA recognized the State of Israel.

Today Palestine suffers under the Zionist occupation, which deceived the world with its right in the Arabic Palestinian land, and some of the democratic countries of the world had partaken in this deception through participating in a conference, which was known as “San Remo conference”, which took place in the year 1920, where these countries decided to place Palestine under British Mandate, thus within two years Palestine became effectually under the British authority, which sent Herbert Samuel, who was a Zionist leader, as its first High Commissioner in Palestine. Hence this High Commissioner was the representative of Britain in Palestine, and at the same time, a representative of the Jews. The League of Nations issued the decree of British Mandate over Palestine in 1922, whereby the British started by this decree building a national home to the Jews in Palestine. This occurred with no consideration to the original people of this land, it happened despite them and without consulting them. Or rather it happened against their will, such was really the phony democracy, of which the colonizer brags.

Ironically, the promoter of the idea of establishing a state to the Jewish people, Theodor Herzl, who was Austrian, wrote a book called “The Jewish State” in 1896, where he suggested establishing such state in one of two places: either Argentina, or Palestine! Then he placed Uganda, the African country, as another suggestion, in addition to other countries, like Pakistan!!. This  is not all, for even before Herzl, the Jewish leaders, used to hold there meetings around a table over which Uganda’s map was drawn. This African black country, which had nothing to do with the Jews, but nevertheless, it was once a target to the Zionist’s schemes.

The following track of events reveals some facts that no one can gainsay, which clearly betrays the Zionists’ hesitation in choosing between Argentine and Palestine. This information is available to any researcher on the history of Zionist movement and its conferences that were held several times:

·   In the year 1896 and after the appearance of anti-Semitism notions in Europe, Theodor Herzl suggested a solution to this problem in his book “The Jewish State”, where he Suggested founding a national home to the Jews in Argentina or Palestine.

·      In the year 1897, the first conference for the Zionist movement was held in Switzerland, which declared in its conclusion “Basel program” for occupying Palestine and establishing the International Zionist Movement.

·       In the year 1904, the fourth conference for the Zionist Movement was held, where it decided establishing a national home for the Jews in Argentina.

·       In the year 1906, the parliament of Zionist Movement decided to make the Jewish national home in Palestine.

·       In the year 1914, with the beginning of World War One, Britain promised the Arabs to help them gain their independence from the Ottoman rule, provided that they sided with Britain in its war against the Ottoman state. Hence Britain entered into Palestine as a liberating force, but such was the biggest fraud that the Palestinians were subject to in their history, because it had changed their future indefinitely.

·       In the year 1916, The “Sykes-Picot Agreement” was signed between France and Britain, where they agreed on dividing the Arab region into spheres of control  and influence. Accordingly, it was decided to place Lebanon and Syria under the French control, while Jordan and Iraq under the British control, provided that Palestine remained a small country.

·       In November 1917, the British government issued “Balfour Declaration” in the form of a letter from its Minister of External Affairs “James Arthur Balfour” to the leader of the Zionist Movement. Whereby the Minister of External Affairs pledged that the Government of His Majesty would do its best for the sake of establishing a national home to the Jews in Palestine, following is the text of the Letter:

The Balfour Declaration

Dear Lord Rithchild,

I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty’s Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet.

His Majesty’s Government view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors 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.

I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.

Signed: Arthur James Balfour”

This was the letter sent by the British Minister of External Affairs to the leader of the Zionist Movement; what attracts attention in the context of the letter is a sentence that constitutes a clear admission from this minister that this land belongs to the Palestinians alone, the sentence is:

” His Majesty’s Government view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people”

In this sentence the British minister promises to establish a new state to the Jews in Palestine!!! What more can be said to prove that Israel did not exist at that time, and that the Arabic land that is currently the center of conflict, belongs to the Palestinians and not the Israelis, who are actually intruders into this region, and who have nothing to bind them to this sacred land except their greed.

There are many proofs that make those who attempt to conceal it look ridiculous. Among such simple and convincing proofs that disclose the fragility of the pretexts on which the Zionist entity is based, and expose the lie that Palestine is a Jewish land, is the rulers of this entity itself. Verily, the presidents of this intruding entity are themselves an evidence that Palestine is Arabic, and that the Israelis are outsiders and colonizers, who came to usurp this pure land. Since the establishment of Israel on 14th May 1948 till the year 1996, it was ruled by 26 governments, with 8 presidents, who were the oldest and the first to rule over Israel. The following table, whose data were compiled from different resources that deal with the autobiography of those governors, shows the real names, dates, and birthplaces, in addition to stating their ages when they first entered the land of Palestine:

Prime Minister	Birth Date	Birthplace	Year of entering Palestine	Age at entering Palestine
David Ben_Gurion	1886	Poland	1906	20 years
M. Sharett	1854	South Russia	1905	12 years
Levi Eshkol	1895	Ukraine	1914	19 years
Golda Meir	1898	Kyiv – Ukraine	1921	23 years
Yitzhak Rabin	1922	Jerusalem	–	–
Menachem Begin	1913	Russia	1942	29 years
Yitzhak Shamir	1915	Poland	1935	20 years
Shimon Peres	1923	Poland	1934	11 years

This table demonstrates how the Zionist entity was erected on a lie that the land of Palestine belongs for the Jews. The Zionist organizations had spread before the establishment of the state of Israel a famous racial phrase, which says “A land with no people, to people with no land”. Thus they implicitly admitted that they own no land by saying “people with no land”, but they lied when they said that “Palestine is a land with no people”, because it was and still is the land of strife, and a land that is imbued with the scent of history and civilization, it is the land of the Palestinians alone, they had never left it. History testifies that they had defended this land with their blood to ward off the invaders, like the Crusaders, Mongols, Tatar, and other colonizers. The previous table shows the ages of the Israeli presidents when they entered Palestine for the first time in their lives, the youngest among them was 11 years old, who was “Shimon Perez”, who entered Palestine for the first time in 1934, coming from Poland, where he lived there for 11 years, and got used to a different European style of living than that of the Arabic Palestine. As for Menachem Begin, he entered Palestine for the first time at the age of 29, thus he came with a different style of living than that of the Palestinians, he came from Russia to Palestine as a Jewish immigrant just like thousands of his sort, who came from all over the world.

But the question that strongly poses itself clearly is: how did the Zionists succeed in hiding the truth and filling Palestine with the Jews? How did the Jews arrive at Palestine from all over the world so easily, despite the strong Arabic objection? How did the Palestinian ownership of the land devolve from the real possessors to strangers, who gradually extended their dominion over the whole of Palestine, where they established a new state that is alien to the real inhabitants in all aspects?

Here appears the dangerous and significant role that the Jewish emigration had played in manipulating the destinies of the Palestinian people and expelling them out of their land, and occupying it till this day. For this immigration was the first lethal weapon that the Jews used against the owner of the land, where they imposed on Palestine a demographic majority that consequently enabled them to dominate the country. Out of this concept, many of the Palestinian resisters regard that there is no such thing called Israeli civilians, they are all soldiers, who should be fought, and that by considering that the first weapon that the Jews used was the demographic one, by means of imposing a Jewish majority in Palestine.
