Konflikt mellom jøder og briter (ca. 1947)(?)

[AlphaMale]

Hei,

 

Kan noen forklare hvorfor det oppstå en konflikt mellom jødene og britene i 1947? Jeg tenker på "President Warfield"-hendelsen hvor det var meningen at 4500 jøder skulle bli sendt til Tyskland.

Har lett overalt på nettet, men finner inget svar på hvordan en slik konflikt har oppstått mellom jødene og britene, -spesielt med tanke på Balfourerklæringen som satt et ganske sterkt bånd mellom dem.

I senere tid har jo britene hjulpet Israelerene i krigføring mot araberstatene.

 

Hvorfor ville de sende 4500 jøder tilbake til Tyskland?

Hadde vært fint om noen har noe kunnskap å dele på dette området, takk!(!).

 

Mvh,

meg.

Konflikt mellom jøder og britter oppstod ikke først i 1947, men hadde pågått i området i årtier, og hvor det fantes jødiske undergrunnsbevegelser (av britter kallt terrorister) som drev sabotasje og drap mot brittiske tjenestemenn. Etpar av disse jødiske organisasjoene var Lehi og Irgun,

"President Warfield" -hendelsen,

 

"The ship was built in 1928 by Pussey and Jones Corp., Wilmington, Delaware, for the Baltimore Steam Packet Co.. Initially named President Warfield, it was intended to carry passengers and freight. On 9 November 1946 the ship was purchased from the War Shipping Administration by Potomac Shipwrecking Co. of Washington, D.C., eventually ending up with Hamossad Le'aliyah Bet — the underground Jewish organization in Palestine intent on helping underground Jewish immigrants enter Palestine. It was renamed Exodus 1947 after the biblical Jewish exodus from Egypt to Canaan."

 

"The ship sailed with 4,515 passengers from a small port outside Marseille on July 11, 1947 and arrived at Palestine shores on July 18. The British Royal Navy trailed the ship from very early in its voyage, and finally boarded it some 20 nautical miles (40 km) from shore. The boarding was challenged by the passengers (the ship was in international waters where the Royal Navy had no jurisdiction), and so the British soldiers used force. Three shipmates, including 1st mate William Bernstein, a U.S. sailor from San Francisco, died as a result of bludgeoning and several dozen others were injured before the ship was overtaken. The British then sailed the ship into Haifa port, where its passengers were forcefully removed to three deportation ships.

 

Due to the high profile of the Exodus 1947 emigration ship, it was decided by the British government that the emigrants were to be deported back to France. Foreign Secretary Bevin suggested this, and the request was relayed to General Sir Alan Cunningham, High Commissioner for Palestine,[2] who agreed with the plan after consulting the Navy.[3] . Before then, captured immigrants were placed in fenced and guarded detention centers in Cyprus. This new policy was meant to be a signal to both the Jewish community and the European countries which assisted immigration that whatever they sent to Palestine would be sent back to them."

Takk, for svar, men er noe som ikke har gått opp for meg ennå..

 

Hvem var disse 4500 passasjerene egentlig?

Var de flyktninger fra Tyskland som søkte tilflukt i England?

Var dette en konflikt, eller har jeg misforstått?

 

Det må vel også ha vært andre grunner til at konflikter oppstod mellom jødene og britene(?).

 

Tusen takk for alle som kan svare, trenger det på det sterkeste(!).

 

Mvh,

meg.
