One hundred years ago, Jewish MP Edwin Montagu accused the British government of anti-Semitism for colluding with the Zionists.

An assimilated Jew, Montagu regarded Judaism as a religion and Zionism as a “mischievous political creed, untenable by any patriotic citizen of the United Kingdom.”

When the British Cabinet issued the Balfour Declaration in 1917, it was over the strenuous objections of its only Jewish member, Edwin Montagu. But non-Jews, including many anti-Semites, tipped the scales. They saw Zionism as a way to advance British imperialism, world government and the Masonic “New World Order.”

Montagu, who was the Secretary of State for India, told Prime Minister Lloyd George. “All my life I have been trying to get out of the ghetto. You want to force me back there.”
