战后初期英国在巴勒斯坦问题上的政策选择及其得失

第二次世界大战后英国从巴勒斯坦撤出,是大英帝国由盛转衰的一个缩影。面对犹太人的暴力抗争和美国的不合作,英国在巴勒斯坦的阿拉伯人和犹太人双方达成协议无望的情况下,把巴勒斯坦问题提交联合国,最后在中立的名义下从巴勒斯坦全身而退。本文通过对英国撤出巴勒斯坦过程的剖析,认为英国在这个问题上的政策选择是现实主义的,是在被动中争取尽可能多的主动。英国撤出后巴勒斯坦地区的冲突原因是多方面的,过多地指责英国有失公允,美国和联合国也有不可推卸的责任。

The Gain and Loss of the British Policy on Palestine shortly after the Second World War

After the Second World War, Britain evacuated from Palestine, which is the epitome of the British Empire from wax to wane. Facing the Israeli violent opposition and the American non-cooperation, Britain had to submit the Palestinian issue to the UN with the hopelessness of reaching an agreement between the Arabian and the Israeli, and at last withdrawing completely from Palestine in the name of neutrality. In this paper, with the analysis of the process of the British withdraw from Palestine, we think that the British policy was realistic with pursuing more activeness as possible under the circumstance of passiveness. After the British withdraw, the conflicts in the Palestine area were caused by many factors, and it is unfair to blame Britain too much because the USA and the UN could not shirk their responsibilities on the issue.
