The Rape of Palestine - New York, 1946 – Anti-British Publication Banned by the British Foreign Office for Being "Violent and Offensive


The Rape of Palestine, by William B. Ziff, Published by Argus Books Inc., New York, 1946 – An Anti-British Publication Accusing the British of Abandoning the Jewish Settlement in Palestine to Arab Aggression. Banned by the British Foreign Office for Being "Violent and Offensive."


William Bernard Ziff (1898–1953) was an American supporter of Revisionist Zionism. In "The Rape of Palestine", originally published in 1938, Ziff laid out his views. His central argument was that the British Mandate had betrayed the Jews of Palestine, failed to protect them from Arab aggression, and had effectively abandoned them. The book served as a reference source for the Mandates Commission of the League of Nations, which vehemently opposed the White Paper. Even the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry supported Ziff’s claims during their visit to Palestine. In later years, Zionist supporters regarded the book as almost prophetic. The original edition was printed for a limited audience, but once it came to the attention of the British authorities, they labeled it "violent and offensive" and banned its distribution.
