An in-law of mine has just informed me about a rare book found in Sao Paulo by him, in French:

ISRAEL. SON PASSÉ, SON AVENIR - H. DE VRIES DE HEEKELINGEN- Printed in 1937.

The Historian and as "in locum" observer makes clear that the only solution to the Jewish problem is to go to Palestine, by offering several statistics regarding the amount of Jews and Arabs and interests.

The writer at that time shows Palestine abandoned by Arabs, b/c Arabs were not doing at that time anything for her e.g. making her independent, concentrating in empowering and fighting for the independence of Syria, Transjordan, Saudi Arabia and Lebanon, all born after the WW I.

Transjordan was born from the division of the single Palestine to satisfy the will of the king of Jordan's grandfather.

AFA I understood HEEKELINGEN was not Pro Jews at all, reason why he was trying to find a way to get rid of them, by placing them in Palestine, a place at that time where Arabs were not interested in, quite a minor Arab population, as a counter point to an already large Jewish population.

This book corroborates in geographic and statistic terms another book this one written by Pierre von Passen - "The forgotten ally", where the same solution as a result of the same testimonial is given by the Von Passen. (Published into Portuguese in Brazil in 1944).

Pity, these books AFA I know are considered very rare, with no translations in all languages.

If done so, and proliferated, demolish the whole tale of Palestinians and claim for Israel in two instants.

Switzerland recognizes its authenticity in their "antique" archives.
