Editor’s Note: During the Peel Commission of Inquiry in 1937 into the British Colonial offensive against the Palestinians who were revolting against British-supported Zionist colonisation, Prime Minister Winston Churchill justified the military action on the grounds of the racial superiority of the Jews to Arabs.
