Promises & Betrayals: Britain and the Struggle for the Holy Land

A documentary on how British double-dealing during the First World War ignited the conflict between Arab and Jew in the Middle East.

It is often claimed that the crisis originated with Jewish emigration to Palestine and the foundation of the state of Israel. Yet the roots of the conflict are to be found much earlier – in British double-dealing during the First World War. This is a story of intrigue among rival empires; of misguided strategies; and of how conflicting promises to Arab and Jew created a legacy of bloodshed which determined the fate of the Middle East. - See more at: http://www.idfa.nl/industry/tags/project.aspx?id=921ab25f-b285-4b25-a7f1-2e187b22d2be#sthash.GBPpDlGd.dpufA documentary on how British double-dealing during the First World War ignited the conflict between Arab and Jew in the Middle East.
