No, they don't contradict themselves at all, they accurately confirm that permanent immigration of non-Jews to Palestine was insignificant. It states the facts on the ground, that is why it was published by the U.S. Department of State.
Not what I read, want to try again before I post the truth from your very own link that shows arab muslim illegal migration was uncountable and impossible to control. That is why it was disregarded and ignored.
Please do. It states clearly that permanent Arab immigration to Palestine was insignificant.
58. The second misconception relates to the movement of certain
inhabitants from the Lebanon and Syria into Palestine. The
northern frontier between Palestine on the south and Syria and
the Lebanon on the north intersects some properties and in other
cases separates an owner or a tenant from the land in his possession.
As a consequence of this state of fact a Bon Voisinage
Agreement between Syria and Palestine was concluded in 1924
between the authorities of the two territories in virtue of which
certain persons living on either side of the frontier might cross
that frontier at will for the normal pursuit of their occupations.
Such persons are required to hold border passes which they are
required to produce on challenge. If the Lebanese and Syrian
holders of these border passes travel beyond the sub-districts in
Palestine that lie along the frontier they become illegal immigrants.
These people have no intention of permanent settlement
in Palestine since their homes lie to the north of the frontier.
60. There has, however, been considerable illegal immigration
of a temporary nature by Arabs from neighbouring territories in
search of employment during the war years. With the détérioration
of the Allied position in North Africa in 1942, Palestine
became an arsenal for both offence and defence. Airfields, defences
and roads had to be rapidly constructed and there arose a demand
for labour exceeding the local supply.
62. In addition to these Syrian and Lebanese labourers who
were brought to Palestine under official arrangements, inhabitants
of neighbouring countries, attracted by the high rates of wages
offered for employment on military works, entered Palestine illegally
in considerable numbers during the War. For example, in
1942, Egyptian labour was brought into southern Palestine by
civilian contractors to the military forces without any agreement
with the civil administration; these contractors were employed
on the construction of camps and aerodromes. No estimates are
available of the numbers of foreign labourers who were so brought
into the country by contractors or who entered individually in
search of employment on military works.
And so on from this point showing that in 1945 there were at least 14,000 illegal arab immigrants known
Then if you read from 79 you see that there are different laws in place for arab muslim and the Jews. And it shows the ANTI SEMITISM and JEW HATRED by the British Authorities in Palestine, while turning a blind eye to arab muslim illegal immigration.
How many of these contract labourers stayed after the work was done? Itinerant labour goes where the work is. How many of these "illegal arab immigrants" were native Palestinians returning home?
I like it, Isn't "anti-semitism" and "jew hatred" one and the same thing?
Probably all of them after seeing how easy it was to get the money.
probably none of them as they called themselves Syrians, Egyptians or Saudis as that was their original point of origin.
No you can hate the Jews without being Anti Semitic. Just as you can hate the muslims without being racist.
The key key word in your response is "probably" which indicates you have no idea, just bloviating your bigotry. Nor do you have any idea what they called themselves, again, more bigotry.
Muslims are not a race, they're adherants to a religion, just like Jewish people.
