- Abstract:
The article focuses on the incident known as the "Farran Affair." British efforts to subdue Zionist insurgents in Palestine led to the formation of an anti-terrorist initiative after World War II. In 1947, a unit within the Palestine Police led by Major Roy Farran was implicated in the disappearance of 16 year-old Zionist Alexander Rubowitz. A court martial of Farran found him not guilty. The authors argue that international public opinion against the verdict is largely responsibility for the creation of Israel.
