Who would think that a 748-page book on the diplomatic history of the Balfour Declaration and its aftermath could be a page-turner, but this book definitely is. It's a truly remarkable achievement and a fascinating read in many ways ' Regarding the significance of the book for us, I think it's important for people to read an account by an honest observer of the formative events early on, someone who hasn't yet had time to grow accustomed to the reality of the Jewish State in Palestine. I keep reading in lots of liberal venues about how the two peoples each have their narrative and claims and a way forward must be found that takes legitimate account of both sides. What Jeffries shows so dramatically is that there may be two narratives, but only one of them, the Palestinian one, has much connection to reality. As we see from his vantage point so clearly, the land of Palestine was stolen from its people by a major world power and given to another group of people who had no claim to it whatsoever. That last quote from Jeffries near the end of the book says it all. Of course there is now a Jewish community in Palestine that cannot be ignored or just sent back to where they came from, so one cannot undo the original sin. But so long as we don't properly acknowledge that original sin ?? and this is what Jeffries's book helps us do so well ?? I don't see that genuine peace with justice is possible.|9781566560245|

Synopsis
A Comprehensive History and Analysis of the Balfour Declaration of 1917-its Origin and its Effects-Published in its 100th Anniversary Year, First published by Longman Green and Co, London, Palestine: The Reality has been unavailable for many years. Many copies were lost when the publisher's premises were destroyed by the German Blitz in 1941, and secondhand copies are impossible to find, The Balfour Declaration of 1917, in which the British foreign minister expressed his support for a Jewish state in Palestine, was a document that profoundly affected the Middle East for the next 100 years. Palestine: The Reality is a vivid and personal account of the birth and significance of the Declaration, by journalist J.M.N. Jeffries, who was intimately familiar with the key players and relevant documents, some revealed in the book for the first time. J.M.N. Jeffries exposes: The real authors and progenitors of the Balfour Declaration, who used Balfour as a channel for their political aims, and their personal stories, motives, deceptions and conspiracies. The broken promises to Britain's Arab allies that left the way free for the Declaration to become a tool for the Zionists, enabling them to dispossess the Palestinian Arabs of their homeland and replace it with "a national home for the Jewish people." The way Britain and France manipulated the newly-formed League of Nations and awarded themselves the mandates which gave them control of Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon. The way in which the Balfour Declaration, originally just a letter "viewing with favour" the establishment of a Jewish national home in Palestine, was incorporated into the mandate for Palestine, giving it a status that it did not deserve. One of Jeffries' most startling revelations is that Britain ruled Palestine illegally, under a civilian rather than a military administration, from August 1920 to September 1923, a violation of international agreements to "which it was a signatory. This civilian rule was illegal because a peace treaty had not yet been signed with Turkey, but the British bowed to pressure from Zionists who did not want military rule because it would have prevented changes in the Palestine constitution to allow Zionist immigration, self-rule, and Jewish development in Palestine. Book jacket., A comprehensive history and analysis of the Balfour Declaration of 1917, published in the run up to its 100th anniversary. First published by Longman Green, London, this book had a short life; the entire stock and the publisher's premises were destroyed by the german blitz in 1941. ?The Balfour Declaration of 1917 is a document that profoundly affected the Middle East. Palestine: The Reality is an expertly researched inside story of the Declaration. It is also a vivid and personal account in which J.M.N. Jeffries exposes the real authors and progenitors of the Balfour Declaration, along with their personal stories, motives, conspiracies, and political aims. The author also details the other international players who were involved in the creation of the "Balfour" document, and offers a clearsighted perspective on the broken agreements with Britain's Arab allies that enabled the Declaration and dispossessed the Palestinian Arabs of their homeland., The Balfour Declaration of 1917 is a document that profoundly affected the Middle East.
