  14.  @maltija1  I totally agree, and find it utterly shameful. My understanding of that is down to the nature of British Society at that time of the late 1800s onwards. Anti semitism was very common place especially amongst the upper classes, hence late 1930s "sympathy" for the naz*s reaching into REALLY high places. I believe there was a "Romantic" sympathy for the Arabs at the end of the 19th Century, among people such as Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway et al in the USA, and the most famous in England, T.E. Lawrence, who seemed to see a "Freedom" amongst the Bedou that had been lost in Industrial societies ? (T.E.Lawrence wrote of that) Then after rallying Arab Nationalists to overthrow the Ottomanns, BECAUSE of that closeness to the Arabs, but ONLY to conduct the Sykes Picot Agreement meetings in SECRET, Hussein ibn Ali, King of the Hejaz is completely betrayed at Britain going back on her word. The McMahon - Hussein letters of 1915 ALSO included amongst the Arab Nationalist intenetions, a desire for an "Arab Caliphate of Islam" ? Then up springs the PAN Arab Nationalist movement who want a SINGLE Arab Nation, and Haj Amin Al Husseni instigates the pogroms against Jews leading to the Hebron Massacre. The British sympathetic to the Arab cause seem to wring their hands in guilt at the 1919 betrayal, and strive to make concessions to the Arabs, DESPITE the 1920 San Remo Agreement having been UNANIMOUSLY ratified by ALL 51 Nations of the League of Nations. That had made it LEGAL to RETURN all of the British Mandate of "palestine AND Transjordan" to the Jewish people, even though the 1922 Mandate backtracked on Transjordan to appease the "betrayed" Hashemites. The British White Papers of 1930 started to further BACKTRACK on that LEGAL recognition of Jewish RIGHT to return, leading to the DISGRACEFUL 1939 White Paper, which in the light of the looming War with Germany was trying to appease Haj Amin Al Husseini and the rise of his Pan Arab Nationalism, for fear he would side with the Naz*s. Which he did anyway. In clause 14. of that 1939 White Paper, Jewish immigration was LIMITED to no more than 75,000 over 5 years to keep Jewish population to only 1/3, to 2/3 Arab ! ! ! This ran completely contrary to THE LEGAL MANDATE where “Palestine” had been INTENTIONALLY intended for JEWISH political control IN FULL RECOGNITION (Balfour Declaration) of the JEWISH Historic Connection to THEIR HOMELAND. The 1939 White Paper was a complete abrogation of Britain’s Internationally Legal Commitment to the Jewish people and the Jewish State. Under the terms of The Mandate , a binding instrument under International Law, ALL returning Jews were legally entitled to return. Yet thousands were deemed as “Illegal immigrants” under clause 14.(I) and interned in British built Internement camps. LEGAL, SAFE return was BLOCKED, and at the most critical time possible...BEFORE THE HOLOCAUST ! ! ! At the end of the war, 6 years after the White Paper, less than HALF of the “allowed” 75,000 quota, had been admitted to THEIR Historic Homeland. A mere 36,000 immigration certificates had been issued ! ! !. That 1919 "betrayal" by the Sykes Picot Agreement was why the Arabs stopped trusting the British, which also laid them open to the poisonous anti semitic / PRO Naz* propaganda of the PAN Arab Nationalists, which has embedded to this day. Haj Amin Al Husseini's nephew was Yasser Arafat who started using the erstwhile "Zionist" name of "Palestine" in 1964 ! !
