Europe and US role in Israel's political life

Zionism is considered as the child of the era of transformation and transition of West imperialism to the capitalist stage. In this period, all great powers actively seek to find a firm footing in the Middle East for the benefit of colonialism. To achieve this goal, for the first time, Napoleon Bonaparte (Emperor of France) started to have cooperation of Jews against the Ottoman Empire, but it did not achieve success; then Bismarck (former German Chancellor), started to attract Jews to protect the railway which was supposed to be from f Bern - a town in Germany - to Baghdad, but finally, the British achieved his old wish, which was the creation of Zionist idea and encouragement of the Western and Eastern European Jews and Russia, to emigrate to Palestine and the establishment of a Jewish government that serves the interests of that country. Jews were the only candidate to form a government that protects interests of the West in the Middle East sensitive and strategic area because they according to the Lord Earl Shaftesbury the seventh, who was of the British political figures and a Christian Zionist, Jewish settlement in Palestine was useful not only for England, but for the entire civilized world (West). Herzl believed that Jews could be a problem-solver of the West in the Middle East. As a result, the cultural, political, economic and military needs of West, especially Britain and the United States resulted in formation of trend of Zionism, Jewish settlement in Palestine and Israel establishment and continue; a trend that was carried out by politicization of Judaism following fulfillment and protection of colonialism interests in the Middle East.
The role of Europe
Ideology of the Zionist in the context of factors such as zooming anti-Semitism, supporting the European powers, supporting Jewish capitalist, supporting Zionist literature and effectiveness of the Zionist heroes, Marxist ideas, and the idea of excellence of Jews and religious elite as well as some historical events were born in Switzerland in 1898 in the wing conference led by Herzl, and then, a broad effort was done by the Zionists to establish a Jewish state in the Promised Land that the result was establishment of a Zionist state in the land of Palestine. What led to the establishment of the Zionist regime was not only the Zionism idea, but there were other factors that helped Europe to achieve this such as:
1. War and opportunities; First World War or the Great War, was a golden opportunity for the Zionist movement since the Ottoman Empire, the most important obstacle to the establishment of the Jewish state, collapsed and on the contrary, English was more active and passionate than the past to support the demands of the Zionist movement. In 1914, British began talks with Hussein, the Sharif of Mecca, to mobilize the Arabs against the Turks. The talks were pursued with the start of First World War with greater intensity. A month after the war began and shortly after the beginning of negotiations between the British and the Arabs, Weizmann met Balfour and some of the British government's figures and had their support and the British government for Zionist goals.
In May of 1916, British and French governments signed a secret treaty "Sykes-Picot" to plan partition of the Arab lands and the Asian region of the Ottoman Empire. In this plan, the Palestinians were under the supervision of an international group. However, one month later, the Arab Revolt led by Faisal, son of Sherif Hussein, entered a new and sensitive phase by shooting, sieging, occupation of army barracks and occupation of the cities of Mecca, Taif and Jeddah.
In November 1917, Sixty-seven-word Balfour Declaration, based on the decision of the British government to establish a Jewish state in Palestine was issued. Zionists and the British negotiations leading to issuing the Declaration, took place away from the eyes of the British allies (France and Arabs), while at the same time, France showed his loyalty for continuation of allying with Britain and Allied victory with cooperation of Arabs by occupying areas such as Aqaba.
despite past promises, two months before the 1918 war, English gave a Zionist group, which was headed by Weizmann, permission to meet Palestine and immediately after that, they gave control of Palestine to Authority headed by Gen. Allenby. However, in November, they sent a telegram to Sharif Hussein and issued a joint statement with France, and emphasized granting independence to the Arabs.
Result of Britain unconditional supports for the Zionists was increasing the number of Jewish immigrants to Palestine from 5% in 1897 to 10% in 1918. That figure turned to 56,000 Jewish people. From the perspective of Zionism, increasing the Jewish population of Palestine to create a Jewish state was inevitable.
2. Tripartite agreement: in April 1914, the first round of meetings and correspondence between British and Arabs against the Ottomans took place that resulted in the beginning of Sharif Hussein and McMahon eight correspondence, but England, without regard to the commitment that he gave about helping the formation of an independent Arab state, held secret talks in the first place with France and then with Russia and France, which finally led to Britain and France finding a temporary formula and then approval of a permanent formula (Sykes-Picot treaty) between the three countries Russia, Britain and France, about dividing the Arab lands of the Ottoman empire.
According to the Sykes-Picot Agreement, the Arab world was divided into several sections and each section was assigned to a big country.
This breakdown was as follows:
1. Jordan, southern Iraq and Syria to the borders of Iran and the Persian Gulf and Aga and Haifa harbor were handed over to Britain.
2. The majority of Syria, northern Iraq and parts of southern Anatolia were handed over to the French government.
3. Eastern Anatolia and large parts of North Kurdistan were handed to Russia.
4. All Palestine except Acre and Haifa ports were considered international region.
3. betrayal of Balfour: Balfour Declaration, which had a great effect in the birth of the Jewish-Zionist state of Israel, was the result of common interests of the Zionists and the British, because on the one hand, Britain to protect its interests in the Suez Canal, Egypt and the honor of material and spiritual aid of Jews of the world to the UK and its war aims in the first world war and in response to the efforts of American Jews to join the country to Britain in the great war and to generate support of Russian Jews to prevent the country's surrender to the allies and to foil Germany's conspiracy in the absorption and support for Zionism, and finally, to appreciate the Weizmann services in waging war aims of Allied governments, did serious support for the aims and demands of the Zionists.
On the other hand, during World War I, hope of the Zionists to colonize Palestine from the Ottoman Empire and Germany was disappointed because the two countries did not show interest in the realization of Zionism demands.
On this occasion, Zionists sought to go in orientation of a power that can have a major role in making decisions for Arab territories especially Palestinian in the fall of Ottoman Empire. The power was imperialism British insight of the Zionist movement.
Finally, Lord Arthur James Balfour, British foreign minister in the government of David Lloyd George, issued a letter and statement addressed to Baron Edmond James de Rothschild, wealthy Jew and Zionist Federation's supervisor in the UK. In a part of this statement it is as follows: "The Government of His Majesty looks the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine favorably and does its best efforts to facilitate the attainment of this objective". despite the fact that Balfour Declaration was not valid for various reasons, such as the Arab-British conflict with the obligations with the Sykes-Picot agreement, and also by existence of Arabic opposition (such as opposition of seven Arab figures in Cairo) and Western objections (such as opposition of the House of Lords and Commons) in a January 1919 agreement, Amir Faisal, the son of Sharif Hussein, and Dr. Wiseman and the Conference of April 1920, San Rimu, Supreme Allied Council, and in August 1920 contract signed between Turkey and the Allies - and finally, in July 1922, in the introduction of Britain over Palestine by the Council of the Nations League was emphasized, and thus, one other of the cornerstones of the first founding of Israel was founded.
The US role
The important issue that appeared in foreign policy of US in the years after World War II was the creation of the Zionist state in Palestine, the heart of the Middle East and the Muslim world. In the second half of the twentieth century, an important part of US foreign policy strategy was assigned to establish, maintain and expand the influence of the regime. In the years of birth Israel and declaration of independence, the United States was the first country to recognize it and defended it in all organizations and the international communities.
