Query: Deficient

This is an interesting economic study, but is deficient in one major respect. The book assumes that separatism was entirely economic, rather than religious and political, and mistakenly supposes that the British actually supported Zionism, when quite the opposite is true.Beginning in 1929, for example, the British enforced Islamic law concerning Jewish prayer at the Western Wall in Jerusalem, thereby prohibiting Jewish worshipers from approaching the sacred wall within 10 feet, and from sitting there. Furthermore, the British actually instigated Arab riots against Jews, and prohibited Jewish communities from defending themselves.Furthermore, while the book rightly acknowledges Arab attacks on Jewish communities in 1929, it fails to note that such attacks actually began more than 20 years earlier, and therefore preceded by a substantial margin any "economic" development cited herein.--Alyssa A.
