Betrayal of Trust: MI5 and the Colonial Capture of Palestine
Abstract
"Mandate or colonialism? This archive-based study examines how British intelligence operations served as the primary mechanism for transforming international trusteeship in pre-state Israel into colonial control. Through postal censorship files, the strategic 'fascist' diagnosis, and comparison with Trieste, this research exposes a tripartite strategy: mechanism, justification, and political design."
