| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Back in 1906, when there were some 600,000 Arabs and 60,000 Jews in Palestine, Dr Chaim Weizmann—a leading British Zionist activist and, later, president of the World Zionist Organization and the first president of the State of Israel—visited the country for two weeks. He toured its towns and drove through or by its villages, and sent letters home, then and in the following weeks, to his wife in England and to others. He mentioned only Jewish settlements and Jews he had met—not one word about Arabs. It was as if Palestine had no Arabs. |
