The Balfour Declaration

RE: Balfour Declaration (LINK)
※→ Boston1, et al,

There are a couple of points for which I need clarification (school me if you will please).

So where's the contrast, and um, you do realize a condition of war still exists between Israel and much of the Arab population both inside and surrounding Isreal ?

Thats why the Geneva Conventions apply and why there is still martial law in certain areas of Israel.

Since its the 100th anniversary; why don't we ask a few relevant questions. Like, why hasn't the UN segregated combatants and the descendants of combatants as well as those who assist combatants from the legitimate refugee population ????

Now there's a good place to begin the end of this mess

(QUESTIONS)

I was under the impression (probably wrong) that martial law was completely lifted in Israel sometime in 1966 when the Military Administration was lifted. That was a trigger marker in the tactical strategy for the planned Arab League assault in 1967.

The application of the Fourth Geneva Convention was imposed on the Arab territories occupied by Israel since 1967, including Jerusalem; see S/RES/466.

The UN cannot impose the application of any international law (criminal or humanitarian) on any domestic matter.

Article 2(7) UN Charter:
Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state or shall require the Members to submit such matters to settlement under the present Charter; but this principle shall not prejudice the application of enforcement measures under Chapter Vll.​

AM I WRONG?

Most Respectfully,

Yes.

Yeah, those Arab-Moslems and their colonial settler project are an obstacle to peace.

What part of "it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine" is so difficult to understand and how could it have been written any more clearly?

Well this is like China and Hong Kong. There was an agreement, but once the agreement has taken place then the British were out of there and no longer had any power to enforce the agreement.

Jeremy Corbyn’s refusal to attend next month’s dinner in London to celebrate the centenary of the Balfour Declaration confirms what many have long suspected.

His antipathy to Israel goes way beyond hostility to Israeli “settlements” or any romantic attachment to the Palestinian cause. He does not support the existence of Israel at all.

How else to explain his refusal to attend a dinner to celebrate the event which kick-started the (agonising) process that eventually resulted in the establishment of the State of Israel?

And if he thus opposes the self-determination of the Jewish people in their own ancestral homeland, how can he be anything other than hostile to Judaism itself?

Forfeiture

Massacring Jewish settlers may be a religious right, but it is not a civil right. The Israelis were just like the American pioneers, a despised people trying to build something and being interfered with by unevolved and unproductive Stone Age savages.

Perfidious Albion

After World War II, the Ewe Qae appeasement generation came back into power. The Nazislami-loving Brit twits were the only obstacle preventing Israel from winning in 1948 what it finally won in 1967.

Isn't that where Briton promised to give away something that was not theirs?

Didn't the Ottomans hold on to lands which were not theirs for 500 years?

Haven't the Arabs held on to lands which have not been theirs for the past 1400 years?

No. Actually, it was where the Allied Powers and the international community decided to uphold the rights of the Jewish people based on their historical connection to their homeland.

Did you want the international community to STOP upholding the rights of people?

According to a ministry statement, these messages will be written in different languages, and a number of them will be published in the media.

In addition, a moment of silence will be observed in all Palestinian schools in commemoration of the letter.

The ministry instructed school districts to organize events on November 1 in every schoolyard, and to invite the media and Palestinian leaders to participate.

Every student is supposed to hold a sign in Arabic or English denouncing the Declaration and insisting on an apology from Great Britain.

The Palestinian Authority eagerly and cynically uses children in an effort to get news coverage of its political goal to destroy Israel. And the wire services that will show pictures of these children holding signs will not mention that the PA forced them to do it, and make it appear like a grassroots movement of angry youths.

Children are being weaponized. And the money behind this campaign comes from your tax dollars.

Have you answered this?

Did the land belong to the Turks?

Did the land belong to the Arabs?

And I am talking only of the Land of Israel, never mind Mesopotamia, North Africa, Syria, what became Lebanon.

Did any of those lands belong to the Turks, the Arabs or the Iranians?
