The news is going to continue here on audra 0 after ball for seeds of discord. Stay with us and ill just here the of the. 9 the voice of david been good in declaring the establishment of the state of israel in may 1948 the. 2 the ball for declaration was a letter sent by British Foreign secretary Arthur Balfour, a member of the british house of lords. Lord rothschild on the 2nd of november 1917. The the letter sent to a leading figure in the British Jewish Community over a 100 years ago. Had repercussions which even its authors cannot have imagined the whichever, its real intentions. It went on to have a profound impact on the middle east and its people. And its, its that still resonates across the region today. The in 1914, the soldiers were fighting on the battlefields of europe. In the 1st world war, the allies between france and russia, thought the central powers of germany, austria, hungary, and the Ottoman Empire for 4 years. But the land and sea war was not the only valuable ground muscle was also the flex behind closed stores as allies conspired. How to be drawn maps to their own advantage. When the conflict eventually sir mark sykes for the british and french spanish, or sp, call for the french plots and how to divide the arab lands of the Ottoman Empire. Assuming it would find the default dislikes pico agreement, nancy quicky to divide it into french and british spears of influence. Friends taking most of the bones, southern anatolia and the muso area. While the british extended their control over the southern live on expanding eastwards to bus dad and bus stop and all the nan between their weeping goals and the french territory. Historic palestine tends to parts of the Ottoman Empire was a bone of contention and would be put under international administration. But is to say only i always nice thought that called a best good to moses. I want to pretty simple. Wow, thats good. Then thought of that bodys teen, that falls either tightly scrutiny off by the students. They dont get out and show through the just show the bodies due to that, the ice ball screwed up. I just, you know, let you more pause. Your good i distress her. Can just trust to that, blah, t men i dont tell you, is on what does she do there . K. I mean that im not sure that, that down that youre on your data, but its different than what was that . This a 100 developer. You are the funding of keep off. Was it that model why . Well see us how that thats a lot can be a what i can let me when i come back here. I think the british felt that there had not been enough government involvement, including the site to be co agreement with the french and then that process they had not really protected their interests well enough for a post world war era in which the British Empire would continue to seek to be a dominant force in european affairs. And so really officials across whitehall, including mark sikes himself, felt it was a bad deal. If you happen to have it in the papers he liked, most edit the people not to have it. So you need one of your not to just mean the whole the home, the data for the scene when you when the home. Yeah knew which would see from the scene. Ok. Ill see if on a fence. Well i dont have stuff in the have them enough who are let me click on a i many of class and i many and the then that for and its a huge significance that when they making these discussions, jews and so on, its not discussed juice, but not to feature in the new culture fit them at least, which was to be based on the idea of the arab nation. The sign is in was the movement supporting the establishment of a jewish homeland in the area. It defined as the historic, not, and of israel. The movement was active in early 20th century london, especially the because of the persecution of jewels in russia and eastern europe. Theodore heard so ad found a design as to come into the late 19th century. But jewish people in western europe had no to us to support it because they were integrating quite successfully into society. Zionist believed that all jews should some day return to that country. One of the problems was that palestine belong to the Ottoman Empire, and the Ottoman Empire was not clear that it wanted massive jewish immigration into palestine. And the British Government offered to let jews move unimpeded in great numbers into uganda if they wished. Um, but in any event it really didnt happen. And it didnt happen because a majority of scientists, so that hurtful was selling them out. And that the only place for jews to move back to at least conscious design is choose to move back to was palestine. In this, i think brittany began to look on design this movement as a possible partner in justifying or read negotiations of their agreement with the french. You see, for britain simply to claim territory against what theyve already concluded in an agreement with friends, could create diplomatic problems at the british. But if they were to make a claim to palestine, not out of self interest, but in order to advance a great historic ideal of the restoration of the jewish people to the legal homeland. That this could justify an adjustment of the terms of sites pico, in a way that the french would accept the british wanted somehow. Uh and, and more and more increasingly, they felt that the jews held the key to winning the war. And so they had to figure out how to bribe the jews to support the sir. Mark sikes had succeeded in drawing the line he wanted from acre in the west to cook in the east. But for some government, this was not enough. The british were using the Jewish National movement to secure ca, this time for themselves is this is what hind bites then is really going to find open ears and 10 downing street in the for an office in the Colonial Office. And its paving the way towards that critical decision in november of 1917. And so i think you can direct, you can draw a direct connection between britain, the southern acknowledgment of zionism as an idea and an ideal. And what they were dissatisfied with the terms of sykes. Pico hi invites them and was a chemistry lecture in manchester who had become a prominent member of the british scientist movement. He was politically well connected and rub shoulders with senior figures and government. So hi, im vitamin was russian by birth, he was a chemist. And then he joined the zionist movement. He climbed in the zionist movement. He moved to Great Britain before the war, well before the war, maybe 10 years before the war began. He was not before the war, very well known in the english zionist movement. He was pretty well known in the world. Zion is federation, but he was by no means the most visible zionist when world war one began in Great Britain. Weitzman nature wrote in his memoirs about having been introduced, separate his government administer, Herbert Samuel samuel was to wish, but vitamin was apparently concerned that he might be anti zionist. However, Herbert Samuel turned out to be extremely receptive devices and went onto right in official memo in 1915, sitting out a number of different possibilities for palestine and the jewish people. The town was the huntsman hickey and for who work on the name of fluids in the abyss. Yes, it was who . It cut them was a color im full of steam lumina. I knew it was a little fill in the from the time have allow me a lot, a hello and know who, where, where the a, who did the, who yeah. Knew marquez mosher cool man. And pretty funny. You got that move up. Cut off a little cool, matt, and not sure but the seed with all of the environment and seeing how to have that steam. I left them to my left and hope see of the lady who d o. C a and she may a brief on the 15. 0, lets see it a book. But if somebody had only a who, the comment was. Yeah, and you can, but he didnt find willing eaters in whitehall or in the Colonial Office for schemes that involved the establishment of a jewish state in palestine. Britain was really concerned with 2 things by the time that the 1st world war had broken out, they brought to do with the board 1st and foremost, this was an imperative for the survival of britain that its empire. And secondly, they wanted to ensure that coming out of the board victorious, that their empire would benefit from the victory. So at this stage, i invite simmons and Herbert Samuels ideas about the rights of the jews, took central and palestine, did not find much sympathy in the corridors of power. In london, edison pointed fights monroe to a friend, asking whether there wasnt at least a discussion to be had about what he called the chance for the jewish people. I realize, of course, he went on, we cannot claim anything. We are much too optimized for it. What did they do, however, was to throw together vitamin the russian, jewish immigrants searching for a homeland and refuge from persecution. With Herbert Samuel lords rothschild for members of the british jewish elite, established in society, and part of the political and capitalist class. So it isnt for the most part across all as a community, it was actually in the minority, but certainly most of all within the jewish or late because its threatened the notion of them as a 100 percent committed members of persist society. And this was complete an estimate for some of the like every montague to become secretary of state for india. For him, john is in mrs. West nightmare, the idea of the jews, and not satisfied simply with being citizens of britain or other countries around the world. That are always willing to go back to the end of his route for him. He wanted to demonstrate that the jews a prince in the 1st and foremost british a simpleton. To remember that for people like roles, child design, isnt that actually been a threat . You see, the leads in british jewelry had fought for generations to gain acceptance and british society. It was only with the arrival of dis railey in the 19th century. The jews entered parliament and could rise to become Prime Minister. And for people of high finance or banking interest, the really elite of the Jewish Community of britain, their struggle to demonstrate their place in british society. When the design isnt with his claims, the jews were a people the part and should be a nationalist movement in their own right. Were a nasa besetti lamb, but he yeah. Nice talking to you and how to say any vehicle off the body. Yeah. How to get ahold of the when he again i thought ive done many gets it i would definitely be the whole the feet are behind the havent been to having to hold off. Yeah. And the shift that and this will be a bit of funding for the money bad going to be i have, i mean, if of bosh, one of us have the have you my i said how to say here the, what i said x vitamin, the vin share a much shields a lovely little mind to the, to anita, might the facility keep building the list of breed t u, haul it and then with the yellow to any come a vitamin rush like thats mostly but instead of the mission of the theme kids fights when that makes the difference, and i think he was probably unique in his ability to persuade, leaving british figures that the jews were, in fact a vast subterranean influence which they were not that old jews were zionist, which was far from the truth. And that therefore, the t to winning jewish support was to offer them palestine vitamin talked up the degree to which the jewish communities supported. Zine has them in order to get his message across to the government. But for the british, it seemed to be about self interest. About winning the war. Recognizing zionism would be closely linked to gaining global jewish support for this objective on which it stopped its future resting to the british motives for supporting scientists. And where do we compile it down to 2 elements of british self interest at that time. Not an emotional interest in time as soon or less of jews and the jewish plights, and the desire for the return of the jews to the holy land. No, for very specific self interest matters of policy. They will have festival own of the British Government agreed that they wanted to mobilize behind britain and the allies. This idea of jewish power in the world. They were like all of the different policy lights in the wall believers in the notion, the jews with tremendous influence in the corridors of power around the cloud. If the British Government appeared to support sign, assume they would, we know the well to re, to the side and know that entitled to finish, were convinced that sign is in it was really at the center of the jewish house in may. 1916 sir. Mark sikes had agreed to secret deals with the french sykes, the co would form the basis of the future carpet of the old Ottoman Empire. So immediately turned his attention to palestine to part of the Ottoman Empire and how to use scientist and pushing out to maneuver the french formal contact between the British Government and design. This followed. He immediately phoned Herbert Samuel and told him about the plan and Herbert Samuel vin phone. Hi im. Vitamin and vitamin brought with him. Ne home suck. Hello. This meeting took place on the 11th of april 1916. It took place at moses gaster his house, and made a val, and gaster wrote in his diary, afterwards how proud he was at this meeting, which he thought was the most important meeting that had ever taken place in the history of zionism had taken place at his house a 0 one, mark sikes the on the left on how to can still hear me. Oh, well she, for some of my augusta let me know who attended and we must stand by and jelia who the best buy them last to do it. All right, the one who in the, in the army so far, north of all who in the site got out of couldnt unload your emotions. Guest of a quickly understands that sikes is looking to gain support from suppose a jewish power in the world and gets to work with this idea and manipulates this to consolidate. Sikes is interested in signing soon. And we say actually the bench come becomes very close to ready, not say, 16th of issuing a public declaration and support design isnt there in the, in this doesnt happen. That year. The plan sykes got Herbert Samuel to pass on to design is leaders involved the joint, british French Administration of palestine and a charter guaranteeing british the court before zionism. Much his idea was rejected. The they didnt want an anglo french condominium in palestine. They wanted the british to protect them, not the french. And thats because they thought that the french always sort of converted their colonized people into becoming frenchman. And what they wanted was to remain as self conscious jews. And they thought that the british would leave them alone and let them do that. And the scripture, it must be hilton levine, become vice mung. Vague, sort of way behind the shed, a breed team. Let me see. Whats ashley locust of . Oh, im coming to the bay my lot youll need can take off time with you. These done to school, just want to meet with them until finally it will be hopefully youve been loyal to name a really by much im i will, i am with muscles rubbed at the bottom of minutes. Nothing is happening. Evolution, dont you like the one whos go with them . Is the bolstered by their new found credibility. Theyre producing sinus nonsense, making specific demands after the sikes meeting, but event soon overto
