Montagu Returns

Judgment:

Error:

Montagu?

When the British Cabinet issued the Balfour Declaration in 1917, it was over the strenuous objections of its only Jewish member, Edwin Montagu...An assimilated Jew, Montagu regarded Judaism as only a religion, and viewed Zionism as a "mischievous political creed, untenable by any patriotic citizen of the United Kingdom."...The Jewish community was split. The Samuels and the Rothschilds favored the Balfour Declaration; Cohen, Magnus, Mountefiore and Montagu were against it.
