Were the Arabs Indigenous to Mandatory Palestine?
William B. Ziff's little remembered The Rape of Palestine, published in 1938, adds an important first-hand source to these recent studies. None of the modern authors used Ziff as a source, so this is new information to present-day analysts.
his Rape of Palestine was considered by the British Foreign Office "a violent and offensive book," and for years afterward, the British monitored the Zionist writings and speeches of this "unscrupulous gangster," fearful that his audiences were "lapping this poison up."[7]
The thrust of Ziff's book is on British policy in Palestine during the mandate period, but what is especially interesting today are his comments on the migration of Arabs and the squelching of Jewish immigration by the British. The following extensive quotes show the value of his work.

Ett av nutidens kännetecken är det korta minnet. Inte hade min morfar någonsin hört talas om några arabiska palestinier men att judarna hörde hemma i det område som numera är staten Israel, det kände han mycket väl till.
