Ziff, William B. (Bernard), 1898-1953.
The Rape of Palestine / William Ziff
Publisher: Mansfield Center, CT : Martino Pub., 2009..
xiv, 612 p. ; 23 cm. The Rape of Palestine is a scathing indictment of the British administration in Palestine. It is well documented and makes full use of quotations from the writings of non-Jewish persons who served under that administration and themselves complained of the anti-Semitism shown by government officials. Among them was Douglas V. Duff, who complained that "it did not pay for one's seniors to think that one had any undue sympathy for the returning Jews". Even if only one-half of the evidence amassed by the author were true, he would have proved that nearly all the persons sent out to administer Palestine were anti-Semitic and determined to evade the Mandate and destroy the Jewish national home. Originally published New York, Toronto, Longmans, Green and co., 1938.. Stock# 1046. Fine, new from publisher / no dj.
