A report from a 1921 issue of CURRENT OPINION MAGAZINE regarding the ongoing clash of civilizations in British Palestine:
“There are in Palestine about half a million Muslims, about 62,500 Christians and 65,300 Jews. The aspiration for a Jewish State encounters the opposition not only of all Muslims and Christians but of many Orthodox Jews residing in Palestine. …The Zionist leaders, erroneously classifying the present inhabitants as Arabs, expect them to “silently steal away”, as Zangwill puts it, and leave the Jews free to rule.”
