There is a French saying,
which can be rewritten; "There

his 'contention with facts. He
relied on two hours of mono.

the farce of written questions

SOME BACK HISTORY
'Without going back 1900
years, when the Jews were ex.
fled from Palestine, it is more
rational to return to 1917' when
the "Balfour __ Declaration"
made free with other peoples'
rights. As a result the Jews
were encouraged by the
tish government to establish a
'national home' in Palestine.
It was not until 1923 that the
same government realised this
would involve a Zionist State.
Then the collapse of the Otto.
man Empire released a new
force of Arab nationalism, so
that Zionism found itself riding
on the back of a sorely weak.
enec British lion into battle with
a diametrically opposed Arab
force. All in all, it seems
accurate to say that World War
.I impoverishment, plus the Bal.
four Declaration, marked the
bekinning of the decline of Bri.
tisuence with the Arabs.
By the winter of 1944445 At.

ment were urging unrestricted
Jewish immigration into Pal.
estine, so that by 1948 'the Jews

In .1956 Nasser signed a treaty

failed to challenge Israel. His

Meanwhile the Soviet Union
saw a wonderful opportunity to
extend the U.S.A. still further,
so they poured armaments into
Egypt and Syria for which they
will never be paid. Perhaps it
was some of these facts which
set off the chain of miscal-
