have been unavailing. Any arrangement acceptable
to one party has been rejected as unacceptable to
the other. The whole history of Palestine since
the mandate was granted has been one of continual
friction between the two races, culminating at
intervals in serious disturbances.

The fact has to be faced that there is no
common ground between the Arabs and the Jews. They
differ in religion and in language; their cultural
and social life, their ways of thought and conduct,
are as difficult to reconcile as are their national
aspirations. These last are the greatest bar to
peace. Both communities lay claim to Palestine;
the one on the ground of a millenium of occupation,
the other on the ground of historic association and
of an undertaking given to it during the first
World War. The antithesis is thus complete.
8.
The repercussions of the conflict have
spread far beyond the small land in which it has
arisen. The Zionist cause has strong supporters
in the United States, in Great Britain, in the
Dominions and elsewhere; civilisation has been
appalled by the sufferings which have been inflicted
in recent years on the persecuted Jews of Europe.
on the other side of the picture, the cause of the
Palestinian Arabs has been espoused by the whole
Arab world and more lately has become a matter of
keen interest to their ninety million co-
religionists in India. In Palestine itself, there
is always serious risk of disturbances on the part
of one community or the other, and such
disturbances/
