ZIONIST ATTITUDES TOWARDS SELF-RULE IN PALESTINE On the question of developing self-governing institutions in Palestine, Samuel and the Zionists were necessarily at odds. General Zionist fears of representative 30 ZIONISM AND ARABISM IN PALESTINE AND ISRAEL institutions while the Jews formed only a small minority of the population are almost too obvious to require elaboration. Even before there were any concrete plans for such institutions, experience under the military administration (1917– 20) had led Zionists to appreciate the dangers of allowing ‘only the brutal numbers to speak’ in Palestine.

157 From this sombre memorandum and the debates of 2–3 January, we can see that, despite the external appearance that the Yishuv was content with ‘its’ High Commissioner, the disappointment caused by Samuel’s reactions to the May 1921 riots had not yet been erased. A remark by Hebron native David Avissar evoked some discussion on whether the position of the Jews, vis-à-vis the authorities, had not been better under the Turks. Several spokesmen—this time not exclusively from labour ranks—displayed irritation at the prevailing tactic of dealing gently with the ‘Jewish’ High Commissioner so 36 ZIONISM AND ARABISM IN PALESTINE AND ISRAEL as not to play into the hands of his critics in the Arab camp.

145 Another speaker suggested that the Yishuv might agree to participate in the council only if the proportion of seats allotted to the Jews would reflect the ratio of the world Jewish population to the Palestine Arab population, while VL chairman, Dr Yaakov Thon, was prepared to accept a guaranteed quota of one-third Jewish seats. But, apart from these exceptions, the discussion focused on what steps might prove most effective in averting the proposed Legislative Council. 146 The Yishuv stand happened, in any case, to conform with the procedure which the British chose to follow, and the delay in the ratification of the Mandate provided the Jews with a postponement of the dreaded scheme for representative institutions.
