There Would Have Been NO Israel without Holocaust

Why? Because history of State of Israel after its Declaration of Independence proved beyond the reasonable doubt that its existence means war. Perpetual war between Arabs and Jews in oil-rich region which no one wants.

True, there was a so-called “Balfour Declaration” but, in reality, was NOT an official declaration issued by British government. The declaration was contained in a letter dated November 2, 1917 from the United Kingdom’s Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish community, for transmission to the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland.

The text of the declaration was made public on November 9 1917… and it was little more than declaration of intent. Which in most cases leads nowhere. Arthur Balfour, a cautious diplomat, used intentionally vague term “establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people” instead of a “Jewish state”. Which meant that the British government did NOT officially commit to the latter.

Contrary to some views, Britain had sufficient power to stay in Palestine… forever and to brutally suppress any insurgency – Jewish or Arab. Which it did in pre-war years… but after the Shoah preventing the Jews from establishing (restoring, actually – after 1,800 years) their state in Palestine was politically impossible.

Hence, Hitler, Himmler, Heydrich and (to an extent) G;ring can be rightfully considered “fathers of the State of Israel”. Highly unwilling fathers as Nazis always opposed the establishment of independent Jewish state, but fathers nevertheless.

So, in February 1947, the British referred the Palestine issue to the newly formed United Nations. On May 15, 1947, the UN General Assembly resolved that a Special Committee be created to prepare a report on the question of Palestine.

The Report of the Committee proposed a plan to replace the British Mandate with an independent Arab State, an independent Jewish State, and the City of Jerusalem, the last to be under an International Trusteeship System. It was not to be – although UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 181 (II) – with the plan attached to the resolution essentially that proposed in the report.

On May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion, the head of the Jewish Agency, declared “the establishment of a Jewish state in Eretz-Israel“. The following day, the armies of four Arab countries – Egypt, Syria, Transjordan and Iraq – attacked Jewish territories, launching the 1948 Arab–Israeli War… which Arabs decidedly lost.

But they continued fighting – and continue to the present day. And the independent Arab state is not even on the horizon…
