ZIONISM AND THE BRITISH
LABOUR PARTY: 1917-39.
Social History
(1996) 21(1):
pp.71-87.
|
The Labour Party's
natural sympathy with nationalist groups opposing British colonial rule
was overturned in its pro-Zionist position between the 1920's and 1940's.
A lingering scriptural sympathy for the Israelites was sufficient to
encourage a pro-Zionist position among the British ruling class, but for
the British Left a more convincing argument was the inability of the Arabs
to develop the lands which they had settled. This utilitarian argument
persuaded the Labour Party that Israelis were more suited to occupy
Palestine. No evidence of domestic electoral advantage can be discerned
that might have acted as an encouragement to the Labour Party to adopt
this position. |
