Leon Trotsky

The Only Salvation for the Jews

(July 1940)


From The Militant, Vol. X No. 35, 31 August 1946, p. 7.
Transcribed & marked up by Einde O’Callaghan for ETOL.

 

The attempt to solve the Jewish question through the migration of Jews to Palestine can now be seen for what it is, a tragic mockery of the Jewish people. Interested in winning the sympathy of the Arabs who are more numerous than the Jews, the British government has sharply altered its policy toward the Jews, and has actually renounced its promise to help them found their “own home” in a foreign land. The future development of military events may well transform Palestine into a bloody trap for several hundred thousand Jews. Never was it so clear as it is today that the salvation of the Jewish people is bound up inseparably with the overthrow of the capitalist system.
