This paper aims to discuss the logical structure of ‘Palestine Problem’ among American Zionists in the 1920s〜1930s trough examining various arguments and policy choices presented by them. My main concern in this paper is how American Zionists tried to understand and to settle logical contradictions between legitimacy to build a Jewish (minority) state in Palestine and the right of nation’s self determination based on “majority rule principal” of democracy. This was a critical and painful issue for American Zionists at that time, because democracy was an essential value for them both in the contexts as American citizens seeking equal rights and position as rightful members of American nation, and as “minority” in American Society trying to maintain their own political and cultural identity. So it is appropriate case to reconsider Palestine problem from political structure perspective. One of the ‘solution’ to this issue presented by American Zionist was creation of a discourse of “delayed democracy of Arabs”, arguing that Arabs were not enough mature to conduct democracy. After “”Arab Revolt in1936” and especially Peel committee report presented by UK government, most American Zionists begun to insist transfer/resettlement of Palestinian Arabs out of Palestine, and actually tried to negotiate with U.S. President and other officials for this matter. If Arabs of Palestine were not able to operate democracy, it would be well justified to build a Jewish state in Palestine. This “solution”“logically reasonable” for American Zionists.By analyzing logical structure of American Zionists towards Palestine issue, I would like to suggest that discourse of nation state and democracy, which was originated in Western modernity, should be re-examined in actual political process. This “re-examination” is also crucial to understand and to locate Zionism and Palestine issue in wider contexts, as a part of political process of ‘modernity and democracy’, not as a exceptional deviation from it.
