Talk:Jewish Brigade

message: More than just a good start, you've included pictures, cited sources, and even included a list of notable members. However, the article is still quite short overall, as is the intro. Also, in the intro, it says that they fought the "Nazi Axis Powers". This seems a bit awkward to me. Are you implying that all the Axis Powers were Nazis? Might be better to say they fought against "Nazi Germany" or "the Axis Powers"... LordAmeth 07:27, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:JB HQ.jpg

message: Two notes:
*The section says that the disintegration of Turkey inspired a renewal in the pursuit of the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine. There had never been a diminishment in the effort to create a Jewish state (or 'National Home') and activity toward trying to achieve it was intensified long before the end of the war. Note that the Balfour Declaration was produced in 1917, before the British occupied Palestine. It is also worth stating that it came out after, not before, the United States had entered the war (though, not against Turkey [and, in fact, Zionist members of the United States government stopped an American attempt to negotiate an end to Turkey's involvement in the war, which would have prevented the genocide against Armenians]).
*The White Paper didn't mark the abandonment of the intention to partition Palestine. There had been no intention to partition Palestine in the first place.

thread_title: Background section

message: 400 volunteers from the Brigade fought in Libya in the battle of Bir-el Harmat.
Those volunteers could not be from the Brigade that was created later -- please, verify there citizenship and who they were subordinate to (Free France? Palestine Regiment?) The citizainship of the volunteers is especially under doubt (French? British?).

thread_title:  Dubious 

message: Is that a fair and truthful account of those reports? I found this from Google Books: Jewish Brigade: An Army with Two Masters 1944-45
The Agency was particularly gratified by the support shown among the British Media. The New Statesman and Nation, for one, said:
Early in 1940 the Zionist movement won Churchill's assent for the creation of a Jewish Army. Though units of Palestine Jews fought well in North Africa and Italy, the policy of appeasing the Arabs stood in the way. This week the idea is to be realised. The Jewish Brigade group. with its own infantry, artillery and auxiliary troops, will be formed. Late though this comes, we welcome this victory of anti-semitic prejudice.
And from the Manchester Guardian:
The announcement that a Jewish Brigade will fight with the British Army is welcome, if five years late. Once regrets that the British Government has been so slow to seize a great opportunity.
I'm not sure that "on page 12" even qualifies as a valid citation. Anyway, the tone of the Manchester Guardian is hardly dismissive it seems to me, although the reports of Arab appeasement,anti-semitic prejudice and government lethargy echo down the years.

thread_title:  The contemporary newspapers dismissed it as a "token" (The New York Times on page 12) and "five years late" (The Manchester Guardian).
