De Haan warned Britain that Zionism threatened Muslim support in India

Evidence

Specifically, the card he played in trying to sabotage the status of Zionists vis-à-vis the British was quite ingenious: he argued that supporting the Zionists was not worth the possible disruption it might cause among Muslims in Britain’s prized possession, India. — Ivan Davidson Kalmar, Derek Penslar, Orientalism and the Jews, 444 (#expands, via linked claim)

Apparently De Haan was capable of making a shambles of the attempt to effect good relations with the all-important mandatory power. The first British military governor of Jerusalem, Sir Ronald Storrs, was known for his distaste for the Zionists and the Arabs, yet De Haan seemed successful at gaining his favor. He made him the subject of a poem: General Storrs, you who hold in your strong hands Where our people trust in your esteemed leadership. — Ivan Davidson Kalmar, Derek Penslar, Orientalism and the Jews, 467 (#complicates, via linked claim)
