- Abstract:
The article examines Jan Christiaan Smuts' attitude towards Zionism. He becomes known in the historical records as the most outstanding "Gentile Zionist" whom the Zionist movement has ever known. His championship of Zionism has been motivated by a Christian-rooted belief in the great historic justice of the Zionist cause. However, he prove that he is not anymore a savior of Jewish refugees fleeing from Nazi antisemitism. Smuts compromises himself severely against the background of popular antisemitic pressure.
