Two pieces of Labour foreign policy history arrived today: Dick Crossman and Michael Foot&
#39;s pamphlet urging creation of a state of Israel and a signed copy of Harold Wilson&
#39;s book on the history of the UK/US&
#39;s involvement in the state of Israel&
#39;s creation and early decades.
Crossman and Foot wrote that the creation of a Palestinian state &
#39;to satisfy the Arab League...leaving Jews in a permanent minority...is indefensible on moral, legal, and utilitarian grounds&
#39;. The days when the Labour Left stood on the other side of the issue!
Crossman and Foot include in their recommendations &
#39;a scheme of partition which establishes a Judean State, into which there can be unrestricted Jewish immigration up to the full absorptive capacity of the country&
#39;.
