	Peel Commission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On 11 November, 1936, the commission arrived to Palestine to investigate the reasons behind the uprising.
		The Commission was charged with determining the cause of the riots, and judging the merit of grievances on both sides.
		The Twentieth Zionist Congress in Zurich (3-16 August) announced that the partition plan proposed by the Peel Commission is not to be accepted, [but wished] to carry on negotiations in order to clarify the exact substance of the British government's proposal for the foundation of a Jewish state in Palestine.

	The Peel Commission
		At the height of the 1936-39 disturbances, a royal commission of inquiry came to Palestine from London to investigate the roots of the Arab-Jewish conflict and to propose solutions.
		The Peel Commission did not believe that Jewish immigration was detrimental to the financial well-being of the Arab population and assumed that the issue of Jewish immigration would be resolved within the Jewish state.
		The British government accepted the recommendations of the Peel Commission regarding the partition of Palestine, and the announcement was endorsed by Parliament in London.

	The Peel Commission Report
		In the aggregate, however, a large amount of land is fit for afforestation but not for cultivation, and the Commission endorse a policy of afforestation of steep hillsides to prevent erosion the prevention of grazing on land fit for afforestation, and, where practicable, the establishment of village forests for the benefit of neighbouring cultivators.
		The Commission refer to the question of Sunday work by Christian officials resulting from the strict observance of the Jewish Sabbath, and are disposed to agree with the view that the existing state of affairs throws too much work on Christians officials and impairs the spiritual influence of the Christian Church.
		While the Commission would not be expected to embark oil the further protracted inquiry which would be needed for working out a scheme of Partition in full detail, it would be idle to put forward the principle of Partition and not to give it any concrete shape.

	Zionist Century \| Concepts \| British Rule (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Although the commission found the Arabs responsible for the outbreak of violence, it claimed that the roots of the trouble should be traced to Arab anxiety in the face of British pro-Zionist commitments.
		The major recommendations of the commission were the demand for an immediate statement of British Palestine intentions, a re-examination of immigration policy, the establishment of a scientific inquiry into land usage and potential, (see: Hope-Simpson report) and a clarification of the Zionist Organization's relationship with the Mandate.
		Following the recommendation of the Woodhead Commission that partition was impracticable and the failure of the St. James Palace round table conference held in February-March 1939, a new policy for Palestine was issued.

	Peel Commission of 1936-1937
		In their Report of July of 1937, the Peel Commission attributed the underlying cause of the Arab revolt to the desire of the Arabs for national independence and their hatred and fear of the establishment of a National Jewish Home.
		With regard to partition, the Peel Commission advised that "the most strenuous effort should be made to obtain an agreement for the exchange of land and population" following Churchill's perceptive comment that the implementation of Zionism presumed a policy of population transfer.
		The Peel report suggested that in the last resort, "the exchange would be made compulsory." The precedent cited was the Convention of Lausanne (1923), which provided, on paper, international legal sanction for the compulsory exchange of populations between Greece and Turkey.

	THE PEEL COMMISSION PARTITION PROPOSAL, 1937
		The 1929 Hope Simpson Commission of Inquiry had explicitly pointed to the incapacity of the economy and demography of Palestine to be further destabilized by Zionist immigration and settlement.
		Published in July 1937, the Peel Commission’s report concluded that, “the Mandate for Palestine should terminate and be replaced by a Treaty System...” The proposed treaty envisioned a partition of Palestine, with Jerusalem and Bethlehem retained under a separate Mandate, reaching to the port at Jaffa.
		The Peel Plan, with its twin premises of partition and ‘population transfer’, was to become the point of reference for most future schemes to solve the Palestine Question.

	Commissions and Compromises - Rabbi Berel Wein - 5761
		The history of commissions and their findings and recommendations regarding the Land of Israel is not a sanguine one.
		The reason for this failure is that all of the commissions have viewed the difficulties as being basically territorial in nature.
		Perhaps then, all of the commissions and their reports should be shelved until such time that an Arab leadership arises that is willing to forego violence and truly attempt to come to terms with the existence of a Jewish state in the Land of Israel.

	United Nations: VII. Mandated Palestine: The Partition Plans
		The Royal Commission to inquire into the "disturbances" was headed by a former Secretary of State for India, Lord Robert Peel, and presented a 400-page report, a document of major importance in any examination of the Palestine problem.
		The Royal Commission's partition plan (which, the Commission emphasized, was not a final or definitive proposal) allotted roughly the northern quarter of Palestine and the major part of the western coastal plain to the Jewish state, about a third of the country's area.
		This Commission, which held its inquiries in Palestine from April to August 1938, concluded that the Royal Commission's plan was unworkable since almost half of the population of the proposed Jewish State would be Palestinian Arab, and raise the danger of mass population transfers.

	MidEast Web - Report of the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry on Palestine, 1946
		Some of the main findings of the Commission, which submitted a report covering three volumes, were that, according to them, Palestine could not support a much larger population, owing to their belief that the amount of available water could not be increased by pumping water from the Jordan (this turned out to be false).
		The Peel Commission declared in 1937 that the Mandate was unworkable, and the Permanent Mandates Commission of the League of Nations thereupon pointed out that it became almost unworkable once it was publicly declared to be so by such a body.
		The Peel Commission stated that political as well as economic considerations have to be taken into account in regard to immigration, and recommended a "political high level" of 12,000 a year.

		The Arabs' position regarding the partitioning of the country is presented in all of the books as a rejectionist position from the recommendations of the Peel Commission in 1937 to the UN resolution of November 1947.
		All of the historians and the authors of the textbooks are united in their opinion that the Arabs did not agree to having the country divided into an Arab state and a Jewish state, and they did not come to terms with the establishment of a Jewish state until the War of Independence.
		In the summer of 1937, the report of the Peel Commission, (the British commission established to investigate the situation in the country and named after its head, Lord William Peel), was published.

		Instead, the Peel report recommended that the mandate be terminated and the country be partitioned in such a way that, (a) the partition would be practical, (b) it would conform to British obligations, and (c) it would respect the rights of both Arabs and Jews.
		The commission called for a Jewish state, an Arab state that would include Trans-Jordan, and a British enclave under permanent mandate, which would include Jerusalem, Bethlehem and a narrow corridor from them to the Mediterranean.
		However, they also knew that if they had their own independent state, even the one in the commission plan, they would be completely free to accept as many refugees as they could absorb, without British limits.

		The Peel Commission suggested that, if necessary, force should be used to eliminate the Arabs living in the proposed Jewish state.
		On 11 November 1936, the Peel Commission arrived in Palestine with instructions to determine the fundamental cause of the unrest.

		The Mitchell Commission, to whose formation Israel agreed in the Sharm e-Sheikh ceasefire agreements (remember those?), has submitted its evenhanded report, taking great care to put the blame for the Arab violence on no one, as though it just developed from thin air.
		There was a considerable discussion among the rabbis of the time, as well as among the then political leaders of the Yishuv, as to the acceptance of the Peel Commission's report.
		Perhaps then, all commissions and reports should be shelved until an Arab leadership arises that is willing to forgo violence and truly attempt to come to terms with the existence of a Jewish state in the Land of Israel.

		The Woodhead Commission of 1938 was created to examine the recommendation of the Peel Commission that Palestine be partitioned.
		But the real purpose of the Commission was to counter the hostile Arab currents manifest in the 1937 renewal of the Arab Revolt against British rule in Palestine and the region.
		Thus, the Woodhead Commission reversed the Peel Commission's findings and reported in November 1937 that partition was impracticable; this view in its turn was accepted.

		Although there are planning initiatives to maintain agricultural land in the Peel, there was little recognition of the farming issues and visions of the farming community in the region.

		Upon the Arab rejection of the Peel Commission's partitioning recommendation, the British government assembled the Woodhead Commission to devise a new plan that would satisfy Arab and Jewish populations in the region.
		When the Woodhead Commission's proposals failed to produce an agreement, the McDonald White Paper of 1939, named in honor of the British Colonial Secretary, effectively ended the British commitment to a Jewish State as stated in the Balfour Declaration.
