The Palestinian Authority is preparing a lawsuit against the British government over the issuing of the 1917 Balfour Declaration that paved the way for the creation of the State of Israel.

The PA’s Foreign Minister Riyad al-Malki told Arab League leaders gathered in Mauritania Monday that London is responsible for all “Israeli crimes” committed since the end of the British mandate in 1948.

Signed by British Foreign Secretary Lord Arthur James Balfour in 1917, the declaration was seen as giving the Zionist movement official recognition and backing on the part of a major power, on the eve of the British conquest of the then-Ottoman territory of Palestine.

Oh please! Give us a break. I hope there is some statute of limitations. I hope Britain doesn’t immediately go wobbly and write a big check for billions of pounds to the palestinians.

Israel should sue Rome for 2000 years ago.

A lot of the troubles in the middle east and Europe can be traced back to British politicians drawing lines on a map in WW1.

Now that is odd. There were no “Palestinians” until after 1968.

The French want the Louisiana purchase back. Obama said he would give it to them before the end of this term.

Obama also said there’s no need to build a wall with Mexico as he was going to give Texas back to them.

The Palestinians are full of crap they need to go walk in the desert for another thousand years.

A pretense and prelude to institute concentrated jihad in the UK. You read it here first.

Definitely a signal to the soldiers of Allah in all of Britain. What with 2.66 million in England alone, it’s almost beyond comprehension what they’re in for.

They should be careful for what they wish for. Erdogan would be more than happy to return them to a vassal province.
