The Balfour Declaration

[Sixties Fan]

“There’s no need for Britain to apologize for the Balfour Declaration”

 

[Sixties Fan]

The significance of the Balfour declaration was that Britain, then a great power in the world, explicitly affirmed the inalienable right of the Jewish people to recreate its own ancestral home in the former land of Israel. The BBC has chosen to portray this as “controversial” on the false basis that it represented a “broken promise” – to those who have sworn to overturn it.

Here’s Balfour Declaration Myth 4: The British failed to consult the Palestinian Arabs. True, they didn’t consult, but why was that a failure?

• This was war, the British hadn’t yet taken Jerusalem. Who in history has consulted the population of enemy territory in wartime?

• And they were the enemy. Palestinian Arabs didn’t revolt against the Turks or help the Allies. Lloyd George later called them “quiescent and cowering…. We could not get in touch with the Palestinian Arabs as they were fighting against us.” (See illustration: Arab recruits to Ottoman army leave Jerusalem for Gallipoli.)

• The British ruled an empire of 400m people. They didn’t consult Indians or Egyptians about their future, so why expect them to consult Palestinian Arabs?

• They did insist on the prior approval of the one world leader who championed self-determination: Woodrow Wilson. He signed off on the Balfour text in advance.

Why not, de facto UN recognition; and let "them sort it out"?

The Palestinians do not, yet, have the prerequisite for a State.
The UN, which has become a majority Muslim/Christian anti-Israel organization, wants to help destroy Israel.
UNWRA
UNESCO

Look at who are seated at the Human Rights organizations.

The Palestinians need leaders who care for peace and a good life for their people and not the destruction of Israel.

And that is a subject for a different thread.

The UN should have, "off the shelf plans for any territory to become a State; just for bureaucratic fun and bureaucratic practice.

A "UN marshal" could do the job.

Balfour Declaration: Banksy holds 'apology' party for Palestinians

Banksy holds Balfour 'apology' party

...The Jews would have returned to Zion with or without the consent of Europe. This is the people that, despite the murder of millions of potential Jewish citizens, and within Herzl’s predicted timeline of 50 years, recovered and defended its national sovereignty in the Land of Israel that had been under foreign domination for almost two millennia.

Yet Britain went back on its word. Attempting to appease Arab rulers, it rewarded Arab violence in Palestine in the 1930s by preventing Jews from entering land promised to them by the Bible and the British. While the British betrayal did not directly abet Hitler’s war against the Jews of Europe, it signaled a readiness to abandon the Jews to their fate. It certainly spurred the Arab war against Israel, which began where Germany’s war against the Jews left off. Churchill reminded Parliament in 1939 that the pledge of a Jewish homeland in Palestine had been made not only to the Jews but to the world and that its repudiation was a confession of British weakness.

The Jews would have returned to Zion with or without the consent of Europe. This is the people that, despite the murder of millions of potential Jewish citizens, and within Herzl’s predicted timeline of 50 years, recovered and defended its national sovereignty in the Land of Israel that had been under foreign domination for almost two millennia. But most of the Arab world rejected the very principle of coexistence and consequently spiraled into ever-escalating intramural conflicts. For Arab nations, too, acceptance of an autonomous Jewish presence, if and when it occurs, will be the gauge of their political maturity.

The Zionists never wanted coexistence. They always wanted to pig the place for themselves.

You being a Christian, do you not yet have a ticket to go to Hell for all the lies you have told on these threads alone?

How easy it is to put all the Mizrahi Jews under the rug, not that you know what a Mizrahi Jew would be. They were not there, living on their ancient homeland. And apparently Never Mind all the Sepharadi Jews who also lived on the land and the surrounding areas.

No, they do not count. And apparently they are too stupid to "know" or care that the Jews coming from Europe, according to all the conspiracy theories you have read, written only since 1948, Are Not Jews deserving to be called Jews.

And let us not forget the British Zionists, or non Zionists who helped those Jews with the Balfour Declaration, and at the Sam Remo meeting, and at the UN who approved of the State of Israel once all the Jews were ready for it.

And let us Not Forget, that when the Arabs were rioting and murdering Jews in 1920, 1921, 1929, 1936 to 1939 and in 1948, they made absolutely No Distinction between one Jew and another.

Mizrahi Jews, you are safe.
Sepharadi Jews, you are safe.

"It is only the Ashkenazi ones, who call themselves Zionists, who we want.
Those Europeans who dared to come here and spoil the peace we had with the Mizrahi and Sepharadi Jews."

How come that did not happen, Tinmore?

Where are those gallant and worthy Arabs who died to save the Mizrahi and Sepharadi Jews from being killed along with the ones who called themselves Zionists and had come from Europe?

How do you explain Muslim Arabs killing, or wanting to kill All Jews, and not just the European ones?

But most of the Arab world rejected the very principle of coexistence and consequently spiraled into ever-escalating intramural conflicts.

The Zionists never wanted coexistence. They always wanted to pig the place for themselves.

So then, you can explain Arab-Israelis in Israel vs Israeli-Gazans in Gaza’istan.

Thanks. I’ll await the expected sidestep.

4. League of Nations Mandate

2. The right to settle in the Land of Israel

It is not the Balfour Declaration that granted Jews the right to settle in the Land of Israel. The document that gave us that right is the Bible. The Koran corroborates this, making Muslim objectors to our historical right not only ignorant but also blasphemers against their own religion.
--
The Balfour Declaration is the basis for the League of Nations decision regarding the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people in our homeland.
This was one of the functions of the British Mandate (on both banks of the Jordan).

5. 5. International Law

The League of Nations decision is the only valid document in what is called "International Law" regarding the right of any people to this land.

6. 6. When does the Balfour Declaration matter?

The Balfour Declaration is important whenever someone lies, talking about "illegal settlements," "violations of international law," or "occupation".
THAT is the moment when we must raise the Balfour Declaration and say:
We are not here by virtue of international law but by virtue of historical truth.
We are ALSO here in accordance with international law - since the League of Nations adopted the Balfour Declaration - we are here by right. International law did not give us the right to this land, it recognized and reaffirmed our historical right to the land.

For that, Balfour, we thank you.
