"We have been in #Palestine for twelve years [i.e., since the #Balfour Declaration] without having even once made a serious attempt at seeking through negotiations the consent of the #indigenous people,” he wrote... We have set ourselves goals which by their very nature had to lead to conflict with the #Arabs. We ought to have recognized that these goals would be the cause, the just cause, of a national uprising against us."

Analysis: "Israel is perfecting crimes committed by Britain"

Prior to the Balfour Declaration of a Jewish homeland in Palestine, the indigenous Muslim, Christian & Jewish populations in Palestine had co-existed peacefully.

Balfour did not ask for indigenous views on the matter because, he said, "they would unquestionably give an anti-Jewish verdict".

However, that verdict would have been against colonisation, not against Jews as people.
