AN APPEAL to JEWISH REASON, SAMUEL J STOLL 1944.Pdf AN APPEAL TO JEWISH REASON fey SAMUEL J. STOLL Copyright 1944 by Samuel J. Stoll NOTE: This paper is NOT for publication. It is not to be reproduced in whole or in part without the written consent of the author. AN APPEAL TO JEWISH REASON I, THE PROBLEM Forty years ago the leaders of world Jewry rejected the British offer of certain territory in Kenya for the establishment of an autono- ous Jewish settlement. They rejected too the Israel Zangwill-Joseph;.׳ hamberIain-Winston Churchill plan for the Jewish people to take over the whole of Kenya as a British Judaea. It was Palestine or nothing. Yet in these forty years between 5,000,000 and 10,000,000 Jews havo perished in the pogroms and wars of Europe for want of a place to flee. Is it given to any of us, to the wisest of us, to say that these martyred dead, together with their unborn and never-to-be-born children, would not now, in Kenya, have constituted a free and autonomous Jewish commonwealth between 10,000,000 and 15,000,000 strong? (See Appendix A.) In the light of these forty bloody years, what are the leaders of world Jewry doing today to save the surviving Jewish population from future pogroms and wars? And what are they doing today to insure the existence, forty years hence, of a free and autonomous Jewish state with a population of upwards of 10,000,000? Dr* Chaim Weitzmann propose® that Palestine be opened to 2,000,000 European Jews, when the war ends, at the rate of 100,000 each year. Twenty years to rescue 2,000,000 tortured souls 1 But it is hoped that an additional 2,000,000 European Jews will survive Hitler. Is no pro- vision to be made for them in Palestine? Or is a second twenty year plan to provide for them? Forty years to save 4,000,000 Jewsi They cannot wait, and they will not live, that long. And what of the remaining 12,000,000 Jews dispersed throughout the world, are they doomed to perpetual wandering, permanent exile? Is it really true that "it can't happen" to them? In Rankin's Mississippi or Coughlin'3 Michigan for example, or in Argentina or Bolivia? » -in Palestine? What is to prevent it? Brit •י And can't it happen ish bayonets? For how long? Arab forbearance? It is to laugh, but not for the Jews to laugh. It will not happen in Palestine only if the Jews become the polit- ically dominant, numerically superior people there. But the Arabs would have to abdicate before this could come to pass - and they will not abdicate. Nor will England compel them to - not while her interests lie in appeasing thirty million Moslems in the Middle East, to say nothing of her interests in India. The United States will hot h61p the Jews either: witness the opposition of the War and State Departments, to the proposed Congressional resolution of opposition to the British White Paper barring Jewish immigration into Palestine after April I, 1944 on the ground that it would stir ill feeling among the Arabs and 2. disturb the status quo in the Middle East, And in the peace to come "if the United States wishes to share the blessings of the Middle East, she must also share its problems. If the United States wants oil, the Middle East wants the United States to help work out the situation in Palestine.n Such is the substance of the recent Egyptian warning against passage of the Congressional resolution mentioned. It is clear that the projected pipeline from the Persian Gulf oil fields to the Mediterranean will bar any American assistance to the Jews in Palestine. Then, gaining the land is but half the battle; it is holding it that wins. What reason is there to believe that the Jews can hold to- day what they were unable to hold 2,500 years ago? Are they relatively stronger, are their enemies relatively weaker, today than then? Are their neighbors less hostile? The recent concerted action of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Transjordan and Yemen in opposition to further Jewish immigration into Palestine is the answer. It is also the writing on the wall which the Jewish people can ignore only at their peril. No, it cannot seriously be contended that the Holy Land of hun- dreds of millions of Mohammedans, Catholics and Protestants can ever become Jewish property, to have and to hold forever, (See Appendix B.) Palestine is the focal point of a thousand conflicting and irre- concilable religious, economic, political, military and social inter- ests. It is burdened with a thousand lies and prejudices and hates. It is a battleground and a highway to battlegrounds. Its borders are vulnerable. Its terrain is not conducive to defense. No part of it is beyond present day gun range from beyond its borders. It lacks iron and the other materials that forge the weapons of war and the tools of peace. It cannot even rely on outside assistance since its one window, to the sea can so readily be shut. No non-Arab people, and least of all the Jewish people can long endure on Palestine's 10,000 square miles of land; no non-Arab state and least of all a Jewish state can long remain free and independent on Palestine's 10,000 square miles of land. It is a hard and bitter truth that Palestine is no solution to the problem of those Jews who can enter its gates: still less of a solution is it to the problem of those who cannot. Russia has the right of״ The British Prime Minister declares that reassurance against future attacks from the west, and we are going all the way with her to see that she gets it, not only by the might of her arms but by the approval and assent of the United Nations." The most powerful nation on earth has the right of reassurance against attack. Can it really be that the weakest nation on earth does not have that right? The most powerful nation on earth feels the urgent need of such reassurance. Can it be that the weakest nation on earth has no corres- ponding need? The British Prime Minister goes on to declare that "the fate of the Polish nation holds a prime place in the thoughts and policies of His It was with״ Majesty's Government and the British Parliament" and that great pleasure that I heard from Marshal Stalin that he, too, was resolved upon the creation and maintenance of a strong, integral, inde- 3. pendent Poland as one of the leading powers In Europe." Are the Poles entitled to a strong, integral, independent state and the Jews not? And are the 20,000,000 Poles entitled to 150,000 square miles of land and the 16,000,000 Jews to only 10,000 - and that shared by up- \;ards of 1,000,000 Arabs? Are the Poles entitled to great forests, 3,200 square miles of coal deposits, vast iron resources, huge oil ?and the Jews not ־ reserves Nor does it make me happy to hear the argument that the Arabs ought not to object to Jewish possession of Palestine since they already occupy a territory many times larger than Palestine. Why should 28,500,000 Arabs (to mention only those who inhabit the seven Arab states above noted) hold 1,443,420 square miles of territory and the 16,000,000 Jews only 10,000 square miles? I am not a stranger to the deep feeling of the Jewish people towarl the Land of Israel. It is not because I love Palestine less but because I love the Jewish people more, that I rebel against a program which sacrifices a people for a land, a program whose loftiest, whose boldest aim falls far short of the most elemental needs of even the smallest handful of our people, a program which is a thousand times more degrad- ing and more humiliating than the severest terms which the United Nations will dare impose on the gangster nations from Germany and Japan down. I rebel against this program for yet another reason. In their dying agonies in Nazi death chambers our brothers have sounded a call to arms: "Jews all over the world must remember that we are going to die and they must avenge usj" But Palestine cannot avenge our dead. Not now, not ever. Not in war and not in peace. For how can 2,000,000 or 3,000,000 or even 5,000,000 Jews on 10,000 square miles of land prevail against upwards of defeated though they may be - on 186,000 square •י Germans 65,000,000 miles? How can Palestine's milk and honey contend with Germany's coal and iron, whether on the field of battle or in the world's markets? And if not through the instrumentality of Palestine, how shall we aveng> our dead? Or are we not contemplating vengeance? Are we really so wretched, so debased, that we can hear yet not heed our brothers' last anguished call? 4. II. THE SOLUTION What is the alternative to Palestine? It is the land regarding which Sylvia March (pseudonym) wrote as follows in the July, 1942 issue of "Tomorrow": "Here was an extraordinarily fertile and prosperous island, with its own industries, sufficient foodstuffs, great exporting possibili- ties, mineral deposits (there is even gold in Madagascar), a relatively healthy climate - and not enough people to take advantage of all these gifts of nature.

  • The War and the Jew
    THE WAR AND THE JEW THIS book will compel the attention ot the war-ridden world. Its analysis of the Jewish problem tears down the shams and ignorance which have been built up around it. The solution of the Jewish problem is vital not only to the Jewish people but to the health of the world. Jabotinsky's proposals for the new world after the war are not only the demands of a Jewish patriot- they are the essence of bold statesmanship, and constitute a challenge to which the civilized world must reply. Vladimir Jabotlnsky, one of the best- known figures in the Jewish world, fought for the rights of the Jewish people for nearly forty years. In World War I he struggled against enormous odds for the creation of the Jewish Legion which ulti- mately participated in Allenby's Palestine campaign.

  • American Journalists War Correspondents in the War of Spain
    A Brief History of the War of Spain as writen by the International War Correspondents that covered it. (A Compilation made by Prof. Saturnino Aguado, University of Alcalá - Spain) American journalists Ernest Hemingway, Martha Gellhorn, Virginia Cowles, Edgar Mowrer, George L. Steer, Herbert Matthews, H.R. Knickerbocker, Jay Allen, John T. Whitaker, John Dos Passos, Vincent Sheean, Jim Lardner, George Seldes, Lawrence Fernsworth, Edmond Taylor as well as other foreign correspondents, like Harold G. Cardozo, Vernon Bartlett and Cedric Salter (british), Felix Correia (portuguese), Javier E. Yndart (argentinian), Noel Monks (australian), Geoffrey Cox (new zealander), Pierre van Paassen (dutch), O. D. Gallagher (south african)… covered the Spanish War for their newspapers. Particularly interesting were the reports written by Knickerbocker, Allen, Cowles, Whitaker, Taylor, Monks and Cardozo, as they were allowed to be in Franco`s Spain and follow Franco`s troops in their advance towards Madrid in the summer-autumn of 1936 and in other campaigns. This is what some of them wrote: “The tidal wave of Fascism was rushing onward. It was in March 1936, that Hitler took his first important step toward shattering the whole existing structure of Europe, by moving into the Rhineland... In Spain, Fascism took the form and name of Falangism. Defeated in the February elections, the reactionaries were triumphantly returning by extra-legal, undemocratic methods. When they had created a complete state of chaos, the Army, backed by Italy and Germany, stepped in –and the result was a civil war... The Italian conquest of Abyssinia, completed on May 5 of that same year, 1936, encouraged Fascists and reactionaries everywhere, and nowhere more than in Spain.

Since the Palestine conflict’s start, the Arab national movement led by Amin al-Husseini had sought to involve other Arab and Islamic actors to add weight to their cause. Parallelly, it developed an infrastructure to influence Western public opinion. The resultant transnational advocacy network enjoyed the support of Arab states, which competed over influence on Palestine and numerous non-Arab anti-Zionist activists motivated by a diverse array of ideologies.
