Palestinian campaign vs Balfour shows hostility to Jewish state undimmed after 100 years

[shira]

It's about damned time the PA just came out and admitted this isn't and hasn't ever been about the '67 lines or settlements. Now everyone knows with 100% certainty that's complete bullshit.

Op-ed: Netanyahu always claims Palestinian opposition to Jewish sovereignty anywhere, not just to occupation and settlements, lies at the root of the conflict. The PA’s new battle against a century-old British declaration sadly proves his point

In declaring diplomatic and legal war on the Balfour Declaration, Palestinian leaders are telling the world — to their and our enduring misfortune — that nothing has changed in 100 years, that their opposition to our state in any borders remains greater than their desire for their own independent entity. A century later, they are affirming that their refusal to share any part of this land with the Jewish people remains absolute.

1. Yes, it does, but what is funny

is that the Balfour Declaration, like the Partition Plan, was a political fraud. Just one of several promises that the British government and later the world made during WWI and after that they had no intention of keeping. And of course, the British did not at all keep their word on this. But then, the suit isn't really about the Balfour Declaration so much as it is a political statement of hostility to the Jewish people.
