This week 104 years ago The British government Issued the Balfour Declaration And voiced its support for A National Home For the Jewish people. In the final years of The British Mandate The Zionist Movement Accused Britain Of no longer keeping Its commitments Under the Balfour Declaration. As far as the Zionists Were concerned, That was sufficient justification For taking up arms, Embarking on a rebellion And killing hundreds Of British soldiers and police. However, the Balfour Declaration Included a clear caveat: The establishment of the "National Home" was Made conditional on Protecting the rights of The "Non-Jewish Communities," Meaning the Arab inhabitants Of Palestine. Can even the most Enthusiastic Zionist Seriously claim that The State of Israel, The "National Homel", Has met and is meeting That condition Set out in The Balfour Declaration? http://space4peace.blogspot.com/2021/11/history-lesson-from-israel.html |
