achurch001p1

In a memorandum submitted to Winston Churchill (e.g. Secretary of State for the Colonies) during his visit to Cairo, the Palestine Executive Committee outlined their demands for self-determination and self-rule by an elected government of pre-World War I residents of Palestine, as well as:

• The dismissal of the policy concerning the Jewish national home.
• A complete stop to Jewish immigration.
• Re-instituting the old system of laws and government (pre-World War I) until a new Arab one was established.
• No political or otherwise discernible distinctions between Palestine and other Arab countries.
