This is Winston Churchill writing in a totally forgotten essay. He
reflected upon the future and wrote of the impossibility of a
partitioned Palestine. And he talked of how, I quote -- this is Winston
Churchill in 1937 -- �The wealthy, crowded, progressive Jewish state� --
see, it doesn�t exist yet, but he�s already getting it right -- �lies in
the plains and on the sea coast of Palestine. Around it, in the hills
and the uplands, stretching far and wide into the illimitable deserts,
the warlike Arabs of Syria of Transjordania, of Arabia, backed by the
armed forces of Iraq, offer the ceaseless menace of war. To maintain
itself,� -- 1937, remember, -- �To maintain itself, the Jewish state
will have to be armed to the teeth and must bring in every able-bodied
man to strengthen its army. But how long will this process be allowed to
continue by the great Arab populations in Iraq and Palestine? Can it be
expected that the Arabs would stand by impassively and watch the
building up, with Jewish world capital and resources, of a Jewish army,
equipped with the most deadly weapons of war until it was strong enough
not to be afraid of them? And if ever the Jewish army reached that
point, who can be sure,� Churchill asked, �that, cramped within their
narrow limits, they would not plunge out into the new undeveloped lands
that lay around them?�
