"The Jews have proved to be first class colonisers, to have the real good, old empire qualities, to be really first class pioneers." — Herbert Morrison (1888-1965), a British Labour Party leader*.
Labour support for Zionism was to continue into the Second World War. In 1944 the party was actually to propsoe the removal of the Arab population from Palestine "on human grounds ... Let the Arabs be encouraged to move out, as the Jews move in."
Quoted in The Blood Never Dried by John Newsinger, 2006, p. 135
*Morrison also took an aggressive stance against Iran's nationalist Prime Minister Mohammed Mosaddeq and approved his overthrow.
