(A History of Zionism, pages 195-196 Sokolow, Geschite<br />
des Zionismus, British Museum Papers)<br />
Unfortunately <strong>the</strong> voices of protest by religious Jewish<br />
leaders were drowned out by political Zionism, which with <strong>the</strong><br />
backing of <strong>the</strong> Rothschilds carried <strong>the</strong> day in <strong>the</strong>ir favor. Ramsey<br />
McDonald summed up his feelings about such underhanded<br />
behavior:<br />
We encouraged <strong>the</strong> Arab revolt in Turkey by promising<br />
to create an Arab kingdom from <strong>the</strong> Arab provinces of <strong>the</strong><br />
Ottoman Empire, including Palestine.<br />
At <strong>the</strong> same time we were encouraging <strong>the</strong> Jews to help<br />
us by promising <strong>the</strong>m that Palestine would be placed at<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir disposal for settlement and government; and also at<br />
<strong>the</strong> same time we were making with France <strong>the</strong> Sykes<br />
Picot agreement partitioning <strong>the</strong> territory, which we<br />
instructed our Governor General in Egypt to promise to<br />
<strong>the</strong> Arabs. The story is one of crude duplicity and we<br />
cannot escape <strong>the</strong> reprobation which is its sequel.<br />
(Emphasis added)<br />
What exactly did McDonald mean when he said: At <strong>the</strong><br />
time we were encouraging <strong>the</strong> Jews to help us promising <strong>the</strong>m<br />
that Palestine would be <strong>the</strong>irs. How were <strong>the</strong> Jews to help with<br />
<strong>the</strong> war? By providing men from Jewish countries to fight <strong>the</strong><br />
Turks like <strong>the</strong> Arab did? No, it was nothing like that. The Zionists<br />
provided no manpower to help <strong>the</strong> British and <strong>the</strong> Arabs to fight<br />
<strong>the</strong> Turks. How did <strong>the</strong> Zionists help?<br />
They persuaded <strong>the</strong> U.S. Congress to declare war on<br />
Germany against <strong>the</strong> wishes of 87% of <strong>the</strong> American people. For<br />
that, behind <strong>the</strong> backs of <strong>the</strong> Arabs and o<strong>the</strong>r Palestinian residents,<br />
whose antecedents had lived in Palestine for 7,000
