The American King-Crane Commission spent six weeks in Syria and Palestine, interviewing delegations and reading petitions. The commissioners began their study of Zionism with minds predisposed in its favour. The fact came out repeatedly in the Commission's conferences with Jewish representatives that the Zionists looked forward to a practically complete dispossession of the present non-Jewish inhabitants of Palestine, by various forms of purchase...Their final report stated: "...the initial claim, often submitted by Zionist representatives, that they have a 'right' to Palestine based on occupation of two thousand years ago, can barely be seriously considered."
