Britain in Palestine 1917-1948
“Britain in Palestine 1917-1948 investigates the contradictory promises and actions which defined British Mandatory rule in Palestine and laid the groundwork for the Nakba (the catastrophe) and the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. The roots of the contemporary social, political, economic, and environmental landscape of Palestine and Israel can be traced back to this period, making it essential viewing for understanding Britainโs legacy in the region and the situation on the ground today.”

@bibliolater @histodon @histodons When in doubt, blame Britain.
For me, it is not about apportioning blame but rather trying to understand the past.
