Iraq War - Jew's New Home For Arabs
Iraq War - Jew's New Home For Arabs. . .. .
Aaronsohn's friend William K. Bullit, a member of the U.S. Mission to the Paris Peace Conference, later recalled: 'Many times during the Peace Conference in Paris I joined him [i.e., Aaronsohn] and Dr. Weizman at a time while both were considering and assessing policies and plans. Aaronsohn's proposal was the following: While Palestine must be made a Jewish state, the vast valley of Iraq, which is irrigated by the Euphrates and Tigirs, should be restored, through the use of planned irrigation, to be a paradise of the world ... and furthermore the Arabs of Palestine should be offered lands there ... to which as many Arabs as possible should be persuaded to emigrate.'(26)
