The British were obligated to hand them over to the Israeli's. Breach of contract.
If the Brits were not too busy blockading Jews from going to Israel, there wouldn't have been jews in the middle east shooting at them. Just another item in the saga of British Arabism. Notice how well it has paid off.
Don't worry, our politicians are almost as stupid.
They didn't just shoot at the British troops, they bombed, hung prisoners from olive groves, were they obliged to do that? breach of contract? like the world needs more lawyers.
Just for the record I'm no lover of the Arabs either, in fact I pretty much distrust everybody that isn't white, whose 1st language isn't english and can't tell a speyside malt from blended whisky.
