A Study On British Policy Towards Jewish In The Early Period Of Palestinian Mandate Rule(1920-1930)

After World War I,Britain gained control of the Middle East through the League of Nations and began its twenty-eight-year mandate over the Palestinian territories.At the beginning of the reign,in the face of the rapid development of Zionism,the British authorities took a series of measures to support the Jewish immigrants to Palestine because of the dual consideration of the relative weakness of their own strength and the ruling order of the Middle East region.During this period,the Jewish community in Palestine has developed greatly,and the Zionist organization has grown in strength through the measures of guaranteeing the legitimacy of Jewish immigrants,granting land tenure and encouraging the development of Jewish immigrant industry and commerce.The implementation of many "helping Jews" policies not only strengthened the Jewish community,but also hurt the interests of the Arabs in Palestine to a great extent.At the same time,the Arab nationalist movement has matured,resulting in the Arab-Jewish conflict from time to time due to hatred of Jewish immigrants and dissatisfaction with the appointed rule.In order to safeguard Britain's interests in the Middle East,the government's Jewish policy has shifted from "helping Jews" to "limiting Jews",it has not really restricted the development and rise of Zionism in the Palestinian area,resulting in a widening gap between the Arabs and Jews.The conflict has also shifted from sporadic conflict to fierce confrontation,ultimately creating hidden dangers for the continuing unrest between the two countries.And the wobble and inconsistent tactics of the authorities have greatly weakened British domination in the Palestinian region and even in the Middle East as a whole of faith and order.
