America's Interest and the Palestine Controversy

New York: American League for a Free palestine, Inc, 1947. Near Fine. 18p. Softcover in original wrapper. 21 cm. Keynote address delivered at the opening session of the Conference on Hebrew Liberation sponsored by the American League in New York on Feb. 8, 1947. Ziff and Bernard Davis founded the book and magazine publisher Ziff Davis, Inc. in 1927. Ziff was a committed Revisionist Zionist (meaning that they wanted a larger Israel since they equated the Land of Israel with all of mandatory Paletine and Transjordan). This Zionist speech was dismissive of any rights of those who would be displaced. Ziff assumed that Palestinian Arabs could and should be relocated to Arab lands. He claimed that least 95% of the 20,000 members of the Communist Party in Post-WWII Palestine were Arabs.
