Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject History Europe - Other
Countries - Ages of World Wars, grade: 2,3, LMU Munich (Historisches Seminar,
Abteilung Jüdische Geschichte), course: The British Mandate in Palestine
1917-1948, language: English, abstract: The question underlying this paper is
the comparison between the interpretations of Churchill's role in relation to
British policy making in Palestine with special reference to the periods
1921-22 and 1944-48 offered by M.J. Cohen and Sir Martin Gilbert. This will be
dealt with in the main part of this thesis by comparing the opinions offered
by the two authors in their books 'Churchill and the Jews: a lifelong
friendship' by Sir Martin Gilbert and 'Churchill and the Jews' by Michael J.
Cohen. Also, the perspective from which both authors draw their conclusions
and whether or not they share a common ground will be looked upon. As a
result, the thesis aims at classifying the authors' view on Churchill's
attitude towards Zionism in relation to the Palestine mandate and British
policy in the respective periods, as well as capturing Churchill s reality in
connection to Zionism. Historians have continuingly challenged his actions as
being opportunistic and self-serving, while others claim they were rather
evangelical and the result of deep compassion with the Jewish race and their
sufferings.
