A belated comment having just read this article. Ms. Miller should have read Mr. Katz's Battleground before she wrote this article (if she did, she certainly did not absorb its contents) or should would not have written a politcally correct, albeit distorted history of Zionism. Jabotinsky's break with the Zionist establishment was not regarding the severing of Transjordan from the Jewish National Home by the British but their refusal to stand up to the British appeasement of the Arabs and betrayal of Zionism, encouragement for Arab rioting and lawlessness, and restriction of Jewish immigration and the establishment's refusal to call for a Jewish State until well into the Second World War. Weizman's and Ben Gurion's "dunem by dunem" approach may have prevailed, but it was a tragedy for teh Jewish People which doomed the Jews of Europe to destruction. The benign description of Ben Gurion's actions after the war masks a the successful destruction by him of all political opposition through intimidation and imprisonment, features worthy of a policy state not a democracy, all occurring long after the "opposition" underground groups had agreed to disband. This was merely the continuation of earlier persecution of Jabotinsky and his followers, which included framing several of them for murder in order to discredit his entire movement.
