Abstract:
The authors discuss the attitude of the Sephardi natives of the land to the Balfour Declaration. The prospect of establishing a Jewish state, where the Arabs of the land would become a minority, was met with euphoria among many Jewish communities in Palestine and around the world. However, it deepened the dilemma facing the Sephardic, Mizrahi and Mughrabi Jews of the land, who found themselves torn between the European-colonial version of the Zionist movement, and the attempt to shape a native Jewish nationality based on the ethos of a joint homeland for Jews and Arabs. The response to the declaration by two figures, Haim Ben Kiki and Yosef Chaim Castel, reveals fabrics of loyalties and partnerships that predated the binary division between Jews and Arabs – a division that was taking hold in those years.
