The Rothschild Dynasty 113<br />

years; <strong>the</strong> British, with U.S. complicity, promised Palestine to <strong>the</strong><br />

Zionists although not remotely sanctioned to do so by any<br />

international law.<br />

Only a very few voices were raised in protest over what<br />

Arnold Toynbee called "<strong>the</strong> calamity." Several writers, Olivia<br />
