Скачать или смотреть British Jewish attitudes to Zionism before the Balfour Declaration

On 30 January 2024 Mohammed Amin gave a presentation in Loughton to the Jewish Historical Society of England which was webcast internationally. This video contains his PowerPoint slides and recorded audio.

The presentation is based upon the book "The Balfour Declaration: The Origins of the Arab-Israeli Conflict" by Jonathan Schneer.

When Mohammed Amin read that book, he was struck by the divided attitudes of British Jews to Zionism during the time of World War 1.

In particular some of the comments they made might now be considered antisemitic under the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism. They also foreshadowed what happened to Jewish communities in Arab countries after the establishment of the state of Israel.
