 Anti-Semitism as anti-Zionism, circa 1946 The Arab world has a long history of cloaking a hatred of Jews in the noble garb of anti-colonialism APR 28, 2016, 10:55 AM Norman Goda Anti-Semitism as anti-Zionism, circa 1946 The Arab world has a long history of cloaking a hatred of Jews in the noble garb of anti-colonialism APR 28, 2016, 10:55 AM Seventy years ago this month, a committee of 12 scholars and statesmen completed an 80-page report that is all but forgotten today. The Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry Regarding the Problems of European Jewry and Palestine, consisting of six British and six American members, was a British idea. Under pressure from President Harry Truman to allow 100,000 Jewish survivors in Europe’s DP camps to emigrate to the British Mandate, Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin proposed the joint committee as a way to outflank the White House.

Criticism of Philip Mattar

 Criticism of Philip Mattar === Asian and African Studies - Volume 23 - 1989 - Page 302 When Mattar discusses the Mufti's support for the extermination of European Jewry he mainly refers to Zionist accusations of incriminating letters sent by al-Hajj Amin to some Nazi leaders. He refers to the version of those letters that are found in Israel's State Archives and notes that the Zionist documents against the Mufti were not taken seriously by the British (p . 106). He has ignored, however, al-Hājj Amin's own provision of copies of his correspondance with Himmler, Ribbentrop and their likes, in the early-1970s version of his memoirs. The Muftī had claimed that those letters - designated to prevent East - European Jewish refugees from coming to Palestine and suggest instead their transfer to death - camps in Poland were a legitimate act in the Arab struggle against the Jewish National Home in Palestine....

Palestinian Leaders Source Of Affliction, they Lost The Land Sold Their People

Palestinian Leaders Source Of Affliction, they Lost The Land... Sold Their People Jun 24, 2018 By Ahmed al-Jarallah Editor-in-chief, the Arab Times WHEN failures engulf the most rightful case in the world, it is a no brainer for them to end in failure. This applies to the Palestinian case in which the elites have been the source of the affliction of their people throughout the past century, starting with how they dealt with the Balfour Declaration through the Arab denial mentality and then aligning themselves with the losing side — the Ottoman Empire. At the time, the Palestinian leaders opted to move against the major power and drag the British colonialist into the battlefield by attacking its soldiers and boycotting its administration, in addition to accusing anyone who talked to Britain of being a mercenary or traitor. Throughout the 37 decisive years between Balfour Declaration and the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, the Palestinian leaders dealt with the me

Shukairy removal 1962, author Hart

Parker T. Hart, "Saudi Arabia and the United States: Birth of a Security Partnership," Indiana University Press, 1998, p.167 He had managed in 1962 to send on vacation ” the headstrong Saudi UN permanent representative , Ahmad Shukairi. Under King Saud, Shukairi had been accustomed to largely having his own way in representing Saudi positions before the United Nations. These were consistently anti-British (Saud had broken relations with Britain over the 1956 Suez War) and highly critical of US policy on matters relating to Palestine and Israel. Representations by Shukairi on these matters were part of his standing duties, but the language he used was fiery and often extreme. Faisal replaced him on an acting basis with a venerable family retainer, Jamil Baroody, a man totally devoted to Faisal. https://books.google.com/books?id=7sgjntLGROwC&pg=PA167

The Arab world's and the Palestinians' lack of sympathy toward him — especially after the Arabs' defeat — also helped get the message accepted.  In face of this information campaign no Arab dared assist him. Shuqayri himself admitted that even the Egyptians, who were busy licking their own wounds, refused to offer him support.  Shafiq al-Hut's observation (see above) bears witness to the Arab leaders' unsympathetic reaction to Shuqayri's speech at the Khartoum Summit. In his memoirs Shuqayri attempted to blunt the sting of the
