Problem:
Historical Voices: "The Arab Case for Palestine"-What arguments do the authors of this excerpt make for an independent Palestine? How did the authors of this document justify their opposition to the establishment of an independent Jewish state in Israel? What counterarguments were presented by spokespersons for the Zionist movement presented in the document in Chapter 23 (see "The Zionist Case for Palestine," p. 610)? This excerpt was written in 1946; how does it foreshadow the ongoing tensions between Jews and Arabs over what has since become Israel and the West Bank? (p. 749)
