ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the documents to illustrate the moderate mainstream of Zionist and Arab nationalist thought on Palestine and shows the historical and political arguments which each side has employed through most of the present century. The documents include excerpts from Chaim Weizmann, The Jewish People and Palestine, Statement Made Before the Palestine Royal Commission in Jerusalem, 25 November 1936, and excerpts from Constantine Zurayk, 'the Conflict Between Principle and Force in the Palestine Problem', Al-' Amal, December 1947. The chapter talks about the Jewish problem. It is a twofold problem; but its nature can perhaps be expressed in one word: it is the problem of the homelessness of a people. Speaking of homelessness, I should like at once to state that individual Jews, and individual groups of Jews, may have homes and sometimes very comfortable homes.
