ABSTRACT

The official Zionist policy, culminating in the Biltmore program, demands the immediate declaration of a Jewish state or commonwealth. The demand for a Jewish state or commonwealth, coming at the time when a democratic commonwealth in the whole of Palestine would result in Arab domination, must of necessity lead to partition as the only way out of a blind alley. The Arabs will be incensed to the utmost degree by the loss of the Mediterranean coast, while the Jews will have gained only a pyrrhic victory, foreshadowing ultimate defeat. The feudal lords of the Arabs, organized into the Arab League, are using the dire straits of the British Empire to their best advantage. If the Jewish state, prematurely conceived, leads to partition, and thereby hampers rather than aids the expansion of settlement, we must be courageous enough to realize that such a Jewish state means the opposite of Zionist fulfillment.
