The Commissioners were in the Middle East from June 10 until July 21, 1919. Over these six weeks they traveled over what is now Lebanon, Syria and Palestine. They spent full two weeks in Palestine.

Everywhere they went they were received enthusiastically. The Anglo-French promise of self determination and government by the consent of the governed had received wide-spread attention and America's strong advocacy for democracy was well known. The Commissioners had come from President Wilson and were most welcome.

....

To create a Jewish state over the objections of the Palestinians, the commission concluded, would violate the American principle affirming the right of self-determination of nations. In its report of August, 1919, the King Crane Commission advised that, "...the project for making Palestine distinctly a Jewish commonwealth should be given up."

purchase?

This is reflected in its finding, that 54.9% of all petitions called for the "proper safeguarding of the rights of minorities...This request received more united support from both Moslems and Christians than any other, except anti-Zionism." After its analysis of all the testimony, the Commission concluded,

    The Jews, who constitute a little more than ten percent of the population were all for Zionism, under a British mandate. The Moslem and Christian population was practically unanimous against Zionism, usually expressing themselves with great emphasis.

The Commission's final recommendation to President Wilson were as follows:

  1. The Commissioners began their study of Zionism with minds predisposed in its favor, but the actual facts in Palestine, coupled with the force of the general principles proclaimed by the Allies and accepted by the Syrians [i.e. today's Syrians, Lebanese, and Palestinians] have driven them the recommendation here made.

  2. The Commission was abundantly supplied with literature on the Zionist program by the Zionist Commission to Palestine; heard in conferences much concerning the Zionist colonies and their claims; and personally saw something of what had been accomplished. They found much to approve in the aspirations and plans of the Zionists and had warm appreciation for the devotion of many of the colonists and for their success, by modern methods, in overcoming natural obstacles."

  3. ... [with quotes from the Balfour Declaration] For a national home for the Jewish people is not equivalent to making Palestine into a Jewish State; nor can the erection of such a Jewish state be accomplished without the gravest trespass upon the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine.

The fact came out repeatedly in the Commission's conference with Jewish representatives, that the Zionists looked forward to a practically complete dispossession of the present non-Jewish inhabitants of Palestine, by various forms of purchase.

After quoting Woodrow Wilson's statement of the American principle of government with the consent of the governed, the Commission concluded,,

    If that principle is to rule, and so the wishes of Palestine's population are to be decisive as to what is to be done with Palestine, then it is to be remembered that the non- Jewish population nearly nine tenths of the whole are emphatically against the entire Zionist program. The tables show that there was no one thing upon which the population of Palestine were more agreed that upon this. To subject a people so minded to unlimited Jewish immigration and steady financial and social pressure to surrender the land would be a gross violation of the principle just quoted, and of the people's rights, though it kept with in the forms of law.

All deeply tied into keeping the realities of the Armenian Genocide secret, to this very day, of course...

http://www.passia.org/publications/Palestine/Ch1.pdf

Some writers believe Zionist manipulation of British politics was effective because of its coincidence with a particular view of British interests :

"The British government believed that the Jews had great influence in America, upon whose financial resources it came to depend, and in Russia, where leaders of the various revolutionary were Jewish, and whose armies Britain desperately wanted to keep in the war; and the Ottoman Empire whose ruling Junta contained both Jews and those Muslim converts from Judaism known as Donmeh."(21)

Whatever the rationale behind the Declaration, the document was a great Zionist triumph. It should be remembered that Jewish presence in Palestine was, until the turn of the century, very limited, a mere five percent of the total population possessing less than one percent of the land. The opening of the doorsof Palestine to Jewish immigration and Jewish colonization, which were promised in the Balfour Declaration, meant that the Zionists could hope for the realization and fulfillment of their aspiration. As we shall see later, Zionist success seemed very threatening to the Arabs of Palestine who constituted the vast majority of the then existing population and owned most of the land in the country. These Arabs were in Palestine for centuries and they felt they were indigenous to the land while the new comers of Jews were outsiders even though Jews always had kept contact with Palestine since their dispersion and historic expulsion by the Romans. No doubt the Balfour Declaration was the beginning of a tragic conflict between Arabs and Zionist Jews that would last until our time and possibly far beyond into the future.

“Yes, but is this good for Jews?"
