The Balfour Declaration

In an interview available on youtube, Lord Jacob Rothschild explains the significance of the Balfour declaration, which was addressed to his grandfather Lord Walter Rothschild and signed by the British Foreign Minister, Lord Arthur Balfour on behalf of His Majesty's Government in 1917. The Balfour declaration was the Empire's imprimatur for the creation of 'a national home for the Jewish people' in Palestine. It expressed 'sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations'.

The Balfour declaration was a major fillip for the World Zionist Organisation that had been created twenty years earlier by Theodore Herzl to pursue the goal of Jewish nationalism. But as Lord Rothschild noted in his interview, the declaration had a couple of problems, namely it stipulated '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'.

While these stipulations certainly sound reasonable, they were at odds with the goal of the Zionists and have been completely disregarded ever since.

  

Indeed, it is an historical fact that the modern apartheid state of Israel did not exist prior to 1948. Furthermore, in order to establish their apartheid state in 1948, Zionist terrorists had systematically terrorised the indigenous inhabitants of that land for more than fifty years. 

It is an historic fact that Zionist terror groups like the Irgun and Lehi, conducted terrorism against the British authorities and the native inhabitants of that land, as well as against the neighbouring countries of Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Lebanon. 

It is an historic fact that Zionist terrorism drove 750,000 indigenous inhabitants from that land in 1948. And it is a fact that Zionist terrorism against the native peoples of that land continues today under the guise of self defence.
