these questions must be in the negative. The consequences for the
U.S. Government and for the American people were far reaching,
and humiliating. Moreover, there has never been an explanation
for the American people why the Balfour Declaration was
submitted to Lionel Rothschild for his acceptation, since he held
no official position? For this reason alone, the Balfour
Declaration was and is a spurious document. It is clear that
already at that point the British Government had begun to doubledeal
the Arabs and their brilliant British leader, Colonel Thomas
Edward Lawrence, best known as "Lawrence of Arabia."
Professor Langer then goes back two years to October 31, 1914
and gives a full account of the geographical position of the Arabs,
and what Britain did to try and snatch victory from the jaws of
defeat in the War in the Middle East:
Lord Kitchener (Commander of the British forces) had
offered Hussein, the Grand Sheriff of Mecca a conditional
guaranty of independence. Negotiations between the
Sheriff and the British government were embarked upon
in July 1915. On January 30, 1916, the British accepted
Hussein terms, leaving the exact status of Baghdad and
Basra and of the sphere of French influence in Syria,
undetermined.
It is worthy of note that there is no mention here of a
"Jewish homeland" in Palestine being reserved for Jews.
On June 5, 1916, the beginning of the Arab revolts in the
Hijaz and an attack on the Turkish garrison at Medina.
On June 7, Hussein proclaimed the independence of the
Hijaz and the (Turkish) garrison at Medina surrendered.
