That's what they wanted sent to Palestine for colonization and for the eventual conflict that took place some years later. These policies were somewhat complementary to the U.S. policy of pressuring England to allow Jews to go to Palestine, but not allowing them here. The British politician Ernest Bevin was quite bitter about it, asking, "if you want to save the Jews, why send them to Palestine when you don't admit them?"” IfsWantYearsHumansDoneWantedStudyPolicyMaterialsPoliticianConflictEnglandAskingJewBritishBitterTitlesAllowingScholarPalestineTranslationsIsraeliHebrewColonizationComplementary Author:Noam Chomsky
