Jews and the Land of Israel: Part VII: Conferring Sovereignty of Palestine to the Jewish People By Alex Grobman PhD.

The “broad lines of the struggle over Palestine” occurred during World War I, when the Western Allies, believing the Ottoman Empire would be conquered and ultimately dismantled, focused on the future of its non-Turkish territories. The French and the British were vying for Palestine. [1] In the autumn of 1917, the British anxiously wanted Russian Jews to urge their government to revive Russia’s deteriorating war effort, and believed a future Jewish Palestine would be a compelling incentive for them to act. On October 24, 1917, British Foreign Secretary Lord Arthur James Balfour told the War Cabinet: “The vast majority of Jews in Russia and America, as, indeed, all over the world, now appeared to be favourable to Zionism. If we could make a declaration favourable to such an ideal, we should be able to carry on extremely useful propaganda both in Russia and America.” It did inspire American Jews, especially those born in Russia, to volunteer to fight in Palestine against the Turks as part of the British Army.
