Palestine is by now a major trouble…

January 1947 CE

Palestine is by now a major trouble spot in the British Empire, requiring some one hundred thousand troops and a huge maintenance budget.

While Zionists press ahead with immigration and attacks on the government, and Arab states mobilize in response, British resolve to remain in the Middle East collapses.

Irgun and the Stern Group react to Arab atrocities—such as the massacre of casualties at the French Hospital in Jaffa—by acts of terrorism deliberately aimed at the civilian population, irrevocably deepening the gulf of hatred separating the two communities.
