The Unholy Trinity
Hussam Abdelkareem reminds us:
This photograph was taken in Jerusalem in 1925. In the center is Lord Arthur Balfour, author of the infamous promise made by Britain in 1917 to the Zionists to establish a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine. To his right is General Edmund Allenby, the British commander who entered Jerusalem with his forces after the defeat of the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I. The third is Sir Herbert Samuel, the Zionist, the first High Commissioner appointed by Britain as the ruler of Palestine in 1920.
Without these men, the State of Israel would not exist today.
