The Rothschild Dynasty 123
added that British forces put an end to the Turkish presence in
Palestine. I suggest his account is palpably wrong.
It was the Arab Forces that ended a Turkish presence in
Palestine. No French or British or Jewish troops were present at
major battles in Palestine. That is an undisputed fact. Toynbee
and Lawrence were horrified and expressed outrage against
Langer's report that appeared in the London Times declaring it
false. It is obvious that stripped of his British troops, Allenby had
to rely on Arab forces to press his campaign against the Turks,
knowing that the battle-seasoned Arabs would push the Turks out
of Palestine during their September 8, 1918 campaign. Langer
states:
The British broke the Turkish lines near the
Mediterranean and began to roll up the enemy forces. The
British forces, assisted materially by the Arabs under
Lawrence, were now able to push northward.
Here again Langer very much tries to minimize the key
role played by the Arab forces who did most of the fighting. On
page 316 of her book, historian O'Grady stated her opinion of the
events in Palestine:
With the British Army marching on the Holy Land,
Jewish prospects for Palestine at the hands of the Kaiser
began to fade. If Great Britain would guarantee world
Jewry a foothold in Palestine, world Jewry would work
for Great Britain. Negotiations were opened with the
British government in February 1917, with Sir Mark
Sykes acting as the principal intermediary. On November
2, 1917, Lord Balfour reduced the results of the secret
bargaining and extensive communications between
private persons in the U.S. in a letter addressed to Lionel
Rothschild, the uncrowned King of Israel.
