The Churchill White Paper of 3 June 1922, officially Correspondence with the Palestine Arab Delegation and the Zionist Organisation was drafted at request of Sir Winston Churchill in response to the 1921 Jaffa Riots which began with intra-Jewish violence escalated into Arab attacks against Jews.
 Although the attacks were primarily facilitated by the Arabs, the British White Paper concluded that the violence was sparked by resentment towards Jewish Zionists and the perceived favoritism towards them by the British, as well as Arab fears of subjugation.
 While maintaining Britain's commitment to the Balfour declaration and its promise of a Jewish National Home in Palestine, "internationally guaranteed" and "recognized to rest upon ancient historic connection," the paper emphasized that the establishment of a Jewish National Home would not impose a Jewish nationality on the Arab inhabitants of Palestine, and "the status of all citizens of Palestine in the eyes of the law shall be Palestinian".

A homeland for the Jewish people is an idea rooted in Jewish culture and religion.
 In the early 19th century, the Napoleonic Wars led to the idea of Jewish emancipation.
 This unleashed a number of religious and secular cultural streams and political philosophies among the Jews in Europe, covering everything from Marxism to Chassidism.
 Among these movements was Zionism as promoted by Theodore Herzl.
 In the late 19th century, Herzl set out his vision of a Jewish state and homeland for the Jewish people in his book "Der Judenstaat".
 Herzl was later hailed by the Zionist political parties as the founding father of the State of Israel.
