History Series / Part 3

Because of this, public opinion of the Jews was relatively positive – at least for a short time. But the Jews had more battles to fight. War refugees were desperate to enter Palestine while England was doing its best to appease the Arabs by turning them away. The spectacular events that followed, on both the diplomatic and military fronts, culminated in the dramatic creation of the State of Israel.
