The White Paper

The British Government, in its document, "The White Paper" (1939), stated that the Jews should be limited in the proposed state of Palestine. The author elaborates their main point by explaining how the Jews will be limited in terms of immigration, population, property, etc. The purpose of this document is to lay out rules for the future state of Palestine in order to have no conflicts arise between the Jews and Arabs in the future (as if). The intended audience of this article is the general public.

Zionist reaction to the White Paper

The Jewish Agency for Palestine, in its response paper, "Zionist Reaction to the White Paper", explains that it disagrees with many of the proposed British policies for the Jews in Palestine. The agency uses a mainly pathos argument explaining that the laws set out by the British would result in a new ghetto in the home state of the Jews. The obvious purpose of this article is to dissuade the British government of passing the laws explored in the White Paper. The agency's audience thus is the British government.
