The Crimes Of Empire - Bloody Balfour From Ireland To Palestine Webinar
SPSC WEBINAR
🗓️ Wed 17th December
🕣 7 PM
Ireland was the model Britain hoped to repeat in Palestine. The first British Governor of Jerusalem, Sir Ronald Storrs, said the Empire aimed to build “a loyal little Jewish Ulster in a sea of hostile Arabism”.
Britain exported to Palestine the personnel used, and the methods perfected, in the Irish War of Independence. Many Black and Tan men were sent to Palestine, valued for their experience in brutal counter-insurgency. Some of the redeployed police later described Palestine as “Ireland all over again.”
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
