3Q&@
THE FALL OF FRANCE IN 1940, and the subsequent decision by the French in the Levant to back the Vichy government, ended both sides' reluctance to interfere in one another's problems. In June 1941 British & Free French forces invaded Syria & Levanon to stop the Vichy administration providing Germany with a springboard for an offensive against SUEZ?!
After the Vichy French a month later surrendered, the British government entrusted the government of Lebanon & Syria to the Free French.
When that move caused the Arab anger British officials decided that the best way to divert attention away from Palestine was to help both Syria & Lebanon gain at French expense their independence!? With significant British assistance the Levanese did so in 1943.
The French found out the British were plotting with the Syrians to the same end the following year. The French discovered that the Zionists shared their appetite for a revenge, for by now Jewish opinion had moved decisively against the British.
In 1939 the British, in a bid to placate the Arabs, hàd by now imposed tight immigrant restrictions that prevented large numbers of Jews fleeing Nazi Germany from reaching safety in Palestine.
When news of the systematic nature and the scald of the Holocaust emerged, many Jews decided that it was time to throw the British out! Britain's appeasement of the Arabs' terrorism before the war hàd after all already shown thàt violence worked?!
As books revealed, the French now secretly offered support to Zionist terrorists who shared their determination to drive the British out of Palestine! What makes this venomous rivalry between Britain & France so important is that it fuelled today's Arab-Israeli conflict!?
Britain's use of the Zionists to thwart French ambitions in the Middle East led to a dramatic escalation in tensions between the Arabs and the Jews. But it was the French who played a vital part in the creation of the state of Israel, by helping the Jews organise the large-scale immigration & devastating terrorism that finally engulfed the bankrupt British mandate in 1948.
James Barr tried to explain how matters came to such a pass.
't Opmerkelijkst van al die emi- & immigraties door de eeuwen heen zijn de sporen die zij nalieten in rassen & volken, hun land & goed, lichaam & geest! Is dat niet net zoiets als de genetische, fysieke, psychische & sociale banen die in ieder van ons aanwezig zijn tussen generaties, geslachten, groeistuipjes & klederdrachten?
Het 'midden oosten' draagt ook nu nog steeds de littekens van Assyriërs, Babyloniërs, Chaldeeën, de Egyptenaren, Feniciërs, Grieken, Hetieten, Indiërs, Joden, Kelten, Lombarden, Mongolen, Noormannen & Oostenrijkers, Polen, Quislings, Russen, strebers, terroristen, uitvinders & -vreters, wingewesten, xenofoben, yuppen & zombies ........
