Zionists in 1940s Compared to German Nazis

The Gloucester Citizen of 29th January 1946 reports that "Zionist policy, as manifested in Palestine to-day is not a religious movement, but a national one with many of the undesirable features which characterised the Nazi movement in Germany, declared Sir Edward Spears"

Spears, who was speaking at the Anglo-American Committee on Palestine, had been appointed the First British minister to Lebanon & Syria and said that “If the Zionist policy were to succeed in its objective of a Jewish state in Palestine it would be a source not of peace, but of insecurity in the Middle East....it would be a permanent cause of unrest”.

The report goes on to say that “Arabs with whom he [Spears] came in contact in Palestine and outside it, were terrified that large scale Jewish immigration…would result in their being engulfed and that in Palestine they would become a minority subject to alien Jewish rule.” The Arabs would “resist by every means in their power....[and would]……resort to force rather than suffer what they felt to be a bitter injustice”.

Spears also said: “No responsible authority and no British government has ever promised that Palestine would be a Jewish state, or that unrestricted Jewish immigration into it would be permitted without regard for the wishes and rights of the Arab inhabitants.”

On 19th August 1948 The Civil & Military Gazette  quotes British Brigadier Glubb Pasha (real name Sir John Bagot Glubb leader of the Arab Legion) as saying “Most of the Jews of military age today are an Eastern European product - their ideology is totalitarian and they are often as ruthless as the Nazis.

Indeed, some are actually Nazi-trained soldiers and have imbibed the methods of their brutal masters. One example alone will suffice; the massacre of the Arab village of Deir Yassin.”
