Serfdom or Ethnic Cleansing? : A British Discussion on Palestine - Churchill's Evidence to the Peel Commission (1937)

Winston Churchill gave his evidence in secret to a government commission in 1937 investigating the causes of unrest in Palestine.

In it he frankly denied Arab rights to Palestine which was to be a Jewish-run state within the British Empire.

The Commissioners recommended the partition of Palestine with the transfer of Arabs from the new Jewish State - the first time expulsions received an official endorsement, as an introduction by Angela Clifford explains.
