Summary:In 1946, with the number of Jewish refugees in Western Europe increasing and with Mandatory Palestine suffering augmented unrest, a body called the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry Regarding the Problems of European Jewry and Palestine convened. Comprising six British and six American scholars, jurists, and statesmen, this official Committee heard testimony from all interested parties, then formulated recommendations for the United States and Great Britain. The Committee's records offer a unique window into how antisemitism informed ostensibly principled anti-Zionist arguments, particularly from Arab spokesmen who objected in principle to the Jewish presence in Palestine.
