"Defense of the Palestine Mandate" (rr2) Alison Thompson C08
Apr 15 2009, 2:02 PM EDT
A.J. Balfour was a British Prime Minister and wrote this statement as a response to an attack on the British promise to Jewish people in this speech. The Palestine Mandate was a British promise trying to ensure people that The Jewish community would have a place to be considered their Home, and part of Palestine should ensure that Arabs and Jews share in government in order to protect the essential interests of each of the two communities. In the long history of the Jewish People had suffered many prejudices and Balfour requests, “Consider whether the whole culture of Europe, the whole religious organization of Europe, has not from time to time proved itself guilty of great crimes against this race.” (pg 83)He uses the Christianity of Europe to help “organize a culture in a Home where it will be secured from oppression.” (pg 84).
