The unexpected British adoption of Zionism in 1917 (and, more significant, its consolidated commitment in the 1922 Mandate) was neither inevitable nor (at that time, especially) necessary. It was ill-judged and defied argument, evidence, reason, and British interests (and contemporary experience in Ireland). 0As the correspondent John Jeffries noted in 1939, from 1923 there were only consequences. British sponsorship of Jewish colonisation directed towards a Jewish National Home/state in Palestine led inexorably to bitter conflict. Arab revolt and the Peel Commission brought a fatally divided "Israel" into embryonic existence before World War Two."--|cProvided by publisher 630 00 Balfour Declaration 630 07 Balfour Declaration.|2fast 648 7 1800-1999|2fast 650 0 Zionism|zGreat Britain|xHistory|y19th century 650 0 Zionism|zGreat Britain|xHistory|y20th century 650 0 Jewish-Arab relations|xHistory|y1917-1948 650 7 Diplomatiska förbindelser|2sao 650 7 Internationella relationer|2sao 650 7 Judar|2sao 650 7 Sionism|2sao 650 7 Historia|2sao 650 7 Jewish-Arab relations.|2fast 650 7 Diplomatic relations.|2fast 650 7 International relations.|2fast 650 7 Zionism.|2fast 651 0 Great Britain|xForeign relations|zIsrael 651 0 Israel|xForeign relations|zGreat Britain 651 0 Palestine|xHistory|y1917-1948 651 7 Palestina (stat)|2sao 651 7 Palestina (landområde)|2sao 651 7 Storbritannien|2sao 651 7 Mellanöstern|2sao 651 7 Great Britain.|2fast 651 7 Israel.|2fast 651 7 Israel|2sao 651 7 Middle East|zPalestine.|2fast 655 7 History.|2fast
