The King Crane Commission: Recommendations for a Unified Arab State

This chapter discusses the recommendations made by the King Crane Commission in 1919, which emphasized the need to create a unified Arab state in the Arab East region. Despite the commission's findings and warnings against imposing Zionism on Palestine, the report was suppressed and ignored by the British and French. The chapter highlights the colonial interests and control pursued by imperial powers, as well as the racial hierarchy and division brought by the mandates in the region.
