The Rothschild Dynasty 127<br />

Again, <strong>the</strong>re is no mention of Hussein, Lawrence, <strong>the</strong><br />

Arab leaders or <strong>the</strong> people of Palestine being consulted in any<br />

way, nor does it appear that <strong>the</strong> United States Congress knew<br />

Zionist Organization. Later he was legal adviser to <strong>the</strong><br />

New Zionist Organization.<br />

Mr. Landman writes in part as follows:
