A Century of Terror

Foreign Office

November 2nd, 1917

Dear Lord Rothschild,

I have much pleasure in conveying to you. on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet.

His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.

I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist

Federation.

Yours,

Arthur James Balfour

During this same period, in what is called the INTRAFADA, over 2100 Palestinians were killed by Palestinians.

According to the IDF over 25,000 people have died “Al Kiddush Hashem” trying to live the Zionist dream.

Raymond Cafferrata, the English police officer on duty in Hebron, told The British

Commission of Inquiry of the Pogroms of 1929:

“When I heard shouting in a room, I went up a sort of corridor or tunnel, and saw an

Arab cutting the head off a child with a sword. He had already hit him and was about to

strike again with the sword, but when he noticed my presence, he tried to land the blow

on me. But he missed. He was almost at the end of my rifle barrel. I shot him in the

groin. Behind me lay a Jewish woman covered in blood next to a man I recognized,

despite his civilian clothes, as an Arab police officer from Jaffa, named Issa Shérif. He

was bending over the woman, a dagger in his hand. He saw me and rushed into a

nearby room, where he tried to lock himself in, shouting in Arabic: “Your honor, I am a

policeman” […]. I entered the room and shot him dead.”
