The 20 years following this declaration was a foretaste of the future. Violent Arab objection to Palestinian land being given to the Jews resulted in angry clashes between Arabs and the Jews resident in the Jerusalem area. The British. by way of the Peel Commission Report. saw the only way out to be partition of Palestine into Jewish and Arab sectors. with limited Jewish immigration into their area. This still .did not soothe the strong emotional conflict between the two races but the situation did remain fairly quiescent. During the period of the British mandate some 425.000 Jews immigrated into the Palestine area as the World Zionist Congress. in meetings and roundtable discussions throughout Europe. fought for international support for the Jewish homeland against indifference and resignation of Jew and nonJew as well as mounting Arab hostility. This quarrel was soon submerged into the greater holocaust of the Second World War. It took the death of 6 million Jews during the war to bring to bear enough force. both on world Jewry and a shocked free world. to bring about fulfillment of the dream of a Jewish homeland.
