The British and the Zionists

Concerned about the implications of British policy, Weizmann resigned as president of the Zionist Organization; this decision highlighted his view that the Balfour Declaration had been betrayed by the British.

Weizmann and the White Paper of 1930

If the obligation of the Mandatory is reduced to an obligation toward 170,000 people as against 700,000 people, a small minority juxtaposed to a great majority, then of course everything else can perhaps be explained. But the obligation of the Mandatory Power is toward the Jewish people, of which the 170,000 are merely the vanguard. I must take issue, as energetically as I can, with the formulation of the Mandatory Power as an identical obligation toward both sections of the Palestine population. (Sachar, History of Israel from the Rise of Zionism to Our Time, p. 177)
