Churchill and Palestine

Churchill with King Ibn Saud, Lake Faiyum, Egypt, 17 Feb­ru­ary 1945. Many will be sur­prised to learn that King Saud did not believe reli­gion was main prob­lem. It was “immi­gra­tion from East­ern Europe of peo­ple who were tech­ni­cal­ly and cul­tur­al­ly on a high­er lev­el than the Arabs, [who] had greater dif­fi­cul­ty in sur­viv­ing eco­nom­i­cal­ly. [That these] ener­getic Euro­peans are Jew­ish is not the cause of the trou­ble. It is their supe­ri­or skills and cul­ture.” (Wiki­me­dia Commons)
