Abstract

This study examines the shifts in the US decision-making process with regard to Jerusalem, spotlighting those taking place over the last decade and the structure and tendencies of Israeli lobby groups in the United States. The paper is divided into three sections: a theoretical approach to understanding US policy on Jerusalem; an outline of the history of Jerusalem in US foreign policy and Congress; and finally, Jerusalem, Israel and American policymakers, investigating the role of evangelicals, American Jews, Democratic and Republican party policy and the Israeli lobby in US decision-making on Jerusalem.

  9. لجنة ثلاثية شكّلها المجلس الأعلى لمؤتمر الصلح لدول الحلفاء في أيار/ مايو 1919، تضم ممثلين عن بريطانيا وفرنسا والولايات المتحدة، وصلت في 10 حزيران/ يونيو 1919 إلى يافا، في إطار مهمتها في سورية الطبيعية والعراق، وذلك للاطلاع على وجهات نظر السكان، تمهيدًا لتقرير مصير المنطقة. لكنّ مقاطعة كل من فرنسا وبريطانيا لأعمالها حوّلتها إلى لجنة أميركية محضة، ويمثّل تقريرها وثيقة مهمة عن رأي أهالي سورية وفلسطين بمصيرهم. وقد أودعت اللجنة في 18 آب/ أغسطس 1920 تقريرها لدى سكرتارية مؤتمر الصلح، لكنّ السكرتارية حفظته في الأدراج إلى أن نشُر بطريقة غير رسمية في 2 كانون الأول/ ديسمبر 1922. وقد كانت اللجنة حين قدومها إلى فلسطين متحيزة إلى المشروع الصهيوني، غير أن نتائج لقاءاتها جعلتها تتحفظ عليه أشد تحفُّظ، وتغير من موقفها السابق منه، وهي تعتبره خروجًا عن مبادئ الرئيس ويلسون. وبخصوص القدس، وضح تقرير اللجنة أنه "من المستحيل أن يرضى المسلمون والمسيحيون بوضع الأماكن المقدسة تحت رعاية اليهود مهما حسنت مقاصد هؤلاء"، وأوصت ب "العدول بتاتًا عن الخطة التي تهدف إلى جعل فلسطين حكومة يهودية"، ينظر: جورج أنطونيوس، يقظة العرب: تاريخ حركة العرب القومية، ترجمة ناصر الدين الأسد وإحسان عباس (بيروت: دار العالم للملايين؛ نيويورك: مؤسسة فرانكلين للطباعة والنشر، 1962)، ص 410،.609
