The President of Palestine has announced plans to sue the British government for creating Israel and subjecting the Palestinian people to illegal occupation and brutality.
Mahmoud Abbas says he will sue Great Britain over the 1917 Balfour Declaration in declaring Palestine a “Jewish national home”.

Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad Al Maliki made the announcement on behalf of Mahmoud Abbas at Monday’s opening of the Arab League summit in the Mauritanian capital of Nouakchott.
Al Maliki said the suit would be filed in an international court, but did not elaborate.
The Balfour Declaration laid the vision for the future Israeli regime and sparked waves of Jewish immigration to the British mandate in Palestine.
According to Dr Hanna Eissa, who is part of the Palestinian team preparing the lawsuit, the Palestinian attempt to bring a case against the British government is meant to deliver a message to the British government to assume the historic responsibility and follow the example of Germany which recognised and compensated victims of the Nazi Holocaust.
Israel declared its “independence” in 1948 after the mandate expired and won a subsequent war against its Arab adversaries.
Al Maliki said the declaration was a “fateful promise from the ones who don’t own to the ones who don’t deserve”.
“The Balfour Declaration was illegal and illegitimate by international law. The British government gave what is not hers to undeserving people,” Dr Eissa told Gulf News.
He said that the British authorities implemented the Balfour Declaration on the ground and helped the Zionist movement establish four major security forces that contributed in the destruction of 531 Palestinian cities and villages. “The suffering of the Palestinian people started by issuing the Balfour Declaration and continues till now, and Britain must pay for this,” he said. “The British government remains a major ally and partner to the Israeli government.”
Upon the approval of the UN General Assembly, he said that the International Court of Justice can issue an advisory opinion that is not binding.
Al Maliki said that Britain is fully responsible for the Israeli crimes committed against the Palestinians since the end of the British mandate in 1948.
Dr Eissa argued that the British mandate had never been based on sovereignty on the Ottoman territory of the Palestinian province and that does not entitle the British government in any way to secure rights for the Zionist movement in Palestine.
Signed by the British Foreign Secretary Lord Arthur James Balfour in 1917, the declaration was seen as giving the Zionist movement recognition and backing from a major power.

Sue the shet out of Britain and the Zionist joo’s.
Did you know, britain donate millions a yr, to help them and yet greedy cunt’s like him want more money.
GREEDY? GREEDY? They are OWED that money and ALL their land. Those fake jews have no connection to that land whatsoever!
Jew’s lol, you do know the whole jewish population only take’s up 0.20% of the world population and islam take up 22% of the population, so what the jew’s have is hardly much.
…. just almost all of Palestine
where was “palestine” in 1917? The only thing the palsi can do is go to jordan, and stop brainwashing m f like you
Which is correct. The Torah forbids Jews to create their own nation with borders and instead commands them to live among everyone else peacefully. That Christian bullshit about jews right to own land is flawed since the Jewish tradition overrides it. So that 0.2% the jews own is illegal by their own standards.
What they have called Israel is stolen land.
Muslim’s have stolen their own far share as well, and now they trying to take claim of america, and all eu countries.
There is no freedom to leave Islam. They kill people who try to leave!
wtf!! just get the fuck outter Palestine ,u child abusing ,murdering,zionist war crime freak of nature and all our zionist scumbags
This crap is starting to piss me off now, Always about bloody money, and 90% of the problem’s are coming from their own homeland.
yeah, its all about money, right..
Alway’s about money, they wouldn’t even bother with Iraq, if it wasn’t for the oil, You think they would even bother going to war if their is no money in it.
Dear Lord Rothchild,
… take it all,
Balfour…
It was always Israel’s land… going back over 2,000 years. Getthef*ckoverit.
There is no country called Israel. The land is part of Palestine that belongs to the Palestinian people and not some transplanted Europeans!!!
Yes, it’s about money … the money that Britain needed to continue WW-I. They were flat broke, and needed money from banking networks controlled by Jews. It’s no secret, it’s been known for decades if you bothered to look.
where was “palestine in 1917”?
The same place it is today including the portion illegally occupied by Euripeans.
I don’t think Assad has a ghost of a chance as Israel was created 4,000 years ago. Palestine was created by the Romans 2,000 years ago.
Yes 4000 years owned by the real Jews Hebrew Israelites Black Slave on American Continent. YouTube
Sounds reasonable to me.
well, he has a point.
