Voss, Carl Hermann : ANSWERS ON THE PALESTINE QUESTION

New York, American Christian Palestine Committee, 1947

First separate edition. Original color paper wrappers. 8vo. 31 pages; 22cm. Dr. Carl Hermann Voss, a pro-Zionist Chrstian minister, succinctly answers 29 questions related to the topic of Palestine. Questions range from “Isn’t Palestine an Arab Country?” to “Aren’t Jews a Religion, Not a Nationality?” to “Why Don’t They Stay in Europe?” to “How Can Peace Be Brought to Palestine?” Written with a Zionist bent for a Christian audience, Voss answers most questions in favor of Jewish nationalism. “For the Arabs to permit a Jewish State in Palestine involves no sacrifice to the Arabs; on the contrary, it provides them with a progressive and democratic neighbor eager to create a joint future in which the hopes of both peoples may be realized.” Includes a Statement of Principles of the American Christian Palestine Committee in which the committee declares that their support for the Jewish People is rooted in Christian values of social justice. “During World War II, Dr. Voss founded and led the American Christian Palestine Committee. The group called for a Jewish national state to give refuge to survivors of the Nazi Holocaust. To that end, he became a vocal supporter of the partition of Palestine. Once Israel was established, he urged the United States to provide the aid that would enable the new state to absorb the many refugees then arriving. In his speeches, he took the position that Washington and the world were not doing enough (NYT, 1985). SUBJECT(S): Palestine, Jewish nationalism, Christianity. Based upon an article entitled ‘Questions and answers on the Palestine problem,’ which appeared in the September 1946 issue of ‘The Women’s Press.’ Minimal stains and folds. One light pencil mark that does not affect text. Original paper wrappers slightly torn. Good + condition. (zion-11-37)
