Balfour Declaration with its 92 Years Sad Memorial Date : 2/11/2009 Time :
15:38

RAMALLAH, November 2, 2009 (WAFA- PLO news agency)- Arthur James Balfour
then the British Foreign Minister in UK was give his tragic declaration that
gives the Jews a homeland in Palestine, while UK was mandating Palestine in
November 2, 1917.

Ninety two years passed on that sad declaration of Balfour's famous letter
to Lord Rothschild one of the leaders of Zionist movement who made a false
statement : ' A land without people for a people without land.'

The letter reads as follow:
Foreign Office
November 2nd, 1917
Dear Lord Rothschild,
I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's
Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist
aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet.
'His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of
a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to
facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that
nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of
existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political
status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.'
I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of
the Zionist Federation.
Yours sincerely,
Arthur James Balfour

This letter made famous phrase which sums up the situation like this:
'those who gave what do not have a promise to those who do not deserve,'
that black day in the history of the Palestinian people, also in the history
of humanity, and a blow to justice and international legitimacy.

The British government had offered the text of the Balfour Declaration to
U.S. President Wilson, and approved the content prior to publication, and
agreed upon by France and Italy officially the year in 1918 and followed by
U.S. President Wilson formally and publicly in 1919, as well as Japan.

On April 25, 1920 and approved by the Supreme Council of Allied forces in
the San Remo Conference to entrust the assignment to Britain on Palestine,
and to put into effect the Balfour Declaration as contained in Article II of
the Mandate, in the July 24, 1922 and approved by the League of Nations on
the draft mandate, which came into force on 29 September / September 1923,
and thus we can say that the Balfour Declaration was a promise by the west
and not Britain alone.

Jews have been able to exploit that clip from Arthur Balfour known proximity
of the Zionist movement, and then the Mandate, and the decision of the
General Assembly in 1947.

The partition of Palestine to achieve their dream of the establishment of
Israel in the fifteenth of May, in May 1948, but this entity is a member of
the United Nations pressure the larger countries, and Israel will become the
first country in the history of the world political order established on the
land of others, and received international support, made them perk in the
region, and expand and swallow more Palestinian and Arab territories, and
the strong arm, including the rest of the Palestinian people on their land
without mercy.
