"I am in favor of Palestine being developed as a Jewish Homeland but not as a separate state. It seems to me a matter of simple common sense that we cannot ask to be given political rule over Palestine where two thirds of the population are not Jewish." January 19, 1946
Earlier on January 11, 1946, In an Address by Einstein at the Manhattan Opera House to the National Labor Committee for Palestine, Einstein spoke of what he saw as the basic human problem in Palestine, namely, colonialism, British Empire colonialism,
"the difficulties between the Jews and Arabs are artificially created, and are created by the English"
The uncivilized behavior of the British during the Arab war for independence that was at its height 1938-39, (but always referred to as merely a revolt), included bombing attacks on Arab villages carried out by the RAF , [2] at times razing whole villages. In June 1937, the British imposed the death penalty for unauthorized possession of weapons, ammunition, and explosives, " this order was directed primarily against Palestinian Arabs and most of the 112 executed in Acre Prison were Arabs hanged for illegal possession of arms .[3]
Concurrent Reactions and Observations of Albert Einstein on Early Zionism and the Pressure Upon It that Would Change the Leadership from Socialist Labor to Revisionist Socialist and Ultimately to a War Planning Eventual Tool of Western Imperialism.
Einstein, a strong and outspoken socialist, (see his 'Why Socialism?') [4] followed the progress of Jewish settlement in the British Mandate, and when, in the 1930s, international socialist Zionism came under pressure from the political right, he wrote,
"Under the guise of nationalist propaganda Revisionism seeks to support the destructive speculation in land; it seeks to exploit the people and derive them of their rights," in JEWISH-ARAB AMITY URGED BY EINSTEIN, New York Times. April 20, 1935
Quoting below perceptive writings of Albert Einstein during the morphing of a Zionism that had begun as Cultural and International Socialist Labor Zionism [5] into its domination by militant Revisionist Zionism and terrorist Zionism.
One of the Zionist paramilitary organization that operated in Mandate Palestine between 1931 and 1948 was the Irgun. In 1938, the Irgun instituted a wave of bombings against Arab crowds. On July 6th, 21 Arabs were killed and 52 wounded by a bomb in a Haifa market; on July 25th, a second market bomb in Haifa killed at least 39 Arabs and injured 70; a bomb in Jaffa's vegetable market on August 26th, killed 24 Arabs and wounded 39. In August 1945, Einstein was publicly sharply critical of the Jewish underground paramilitary groups, such as the Irgun and the Stern Group. In his words,
"I regard it [the Irgun] as a disaster"( Interview with I. Z. David). Also "I am not willing to see anyone associated with those misled and criminal people." [6]
So much for this Einstein corroborated bit of historical background of Palestine before the UN Partition vote was announced torching British ruled Palestine into civil war and almost continues terror since the seizing of Arab land with the founding of the Israeli state.
The multi-nation Holocaust and the civil war in Palestine afterward was made possible to begin with because American corporations had armed Hitler's Germany for War on Russia.
- For if no rearming of a weak economically prostate totally disarmed Nazi Germany by USA's largest corporations breeching the Versailles Treaty's prohibitions of German rearmament while the British and French military stood down, then no Second World War
If no Second World War,
then no multination Holocaust of nearly six million Jews
If no multination genocide of Jews,
