Diana Buttu: "Grassroots movements like the Great Return March in Gaza, and protests in villages like Nabi Saleh, have suggested that the weakening of the Palestinian Authority and Hamas, along with the likely death of the two-state solution, may already be giving rise to new citizen-led movements engaged in direct action against the occupation."

Balfour’s legacy continues to horrify

This year marks the year of Palestinian anniversaries — many of them awful and arrogant — but some them courageous and exemplifying the strength of our people. One hundred years ago, this year, the colonial arrogance of Arthur Balfour — who, through the stroke of a pen — had declared Palestine the “homeland” to others, thereby beginning the start of Zionism’s colonial onslaught in Palestine. We have now entered into the 70th year of our dispossession; 70 years since the first massacres against us; 70 years of transforming Palestine from a Palestinian Arab nation by stealing 78 per cent of our homeland and 70 years of turning us into refugees or into strangers in our own homes. This year, sadly, also marks 50 years since the start of Israel’s Phase Two of colonisation of our land, when Israel completely took over the remaining 22 per cent of our homeland.

... 70 years of transforming Palestine from a Palestinian Arab nation ...

Did you want to also talk about the 3000 years of transforming Israel from a Jewish nation? Because that is the essence of the Balfour Declaration.

Trump admin. closing Palestine Liberation Organization D.C. office

"The Trump administration has informed the Palestinian government that its primary office in Washington D.C. will be closed, deepening a rift with the Palestinians and drawing cries of a "dangerous escalation" from their leadership.

The move, which U.S. officials were yet to confirm on Monday morning, comes after the White House said over the weekend that it was cutting $25 million in funding for health services in heavily-Palestinian East Jerusalem."

RE: Palestine Today
※→ P F Tinmore, et al,

The Allied Powers at the San Remo Conference (1920) agreed to the Mandate that would further the establishment of the Jewish National Home (JNH).

(COMMENT)

In fact, the preamble of the Mandate (1922) specifically states:
  • The Principal Allied Powers have agreed;
  • Putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2nd, 1917 (Balfour Declaration);
  • For reconstituting their national home;
The Article 2 of the Mandate further promoted the:
  • Development of self-governing institutions;
  • Establishment of the Jewish National Home;
The Arab Palestinians have declined to participate in the self-governing institution program:

UN Record A/AC.14/8 2 October 1947 said:
Later in 1923, a third attempt was made to establish an institution through which the Arab population of Palestine could be brought into cooperation with the government. The mandatory Power now proposed “the establishment of an Arab Agency in Palestine which will occupy a position exactly analogous to that accorded to the Jewish Agency”. The Arab Agency would have the right to be consulted on all matters relating to immigration, on which it was recognized that “the views of the Arab community were entitled to special consideration”. The Arab leaders declined that this offer on the ground that it would not satisfy the aspirations of the Arab people. They added that, never having recognized the status of the Jewish Agency, they had no desire for the establishment of an Arab Agency on the same basis.

The Arab Palestinians can be "horrified" all they want. It is through their nonfeasance (rejecting in participation in self-governing programs) that, in part, contributed to the conditions the Arab Palestinians now call so "horrifying."

The Arab Palestinians are not all that bright. They cut their foot off and then complain; → because they place last in the foot race.

Most Respectfully,

Are American Jews losing interest in Israel?
There are signs of an uneasiness as a result of increasing disenchantment within the Jewish community in the US

Are American Jews losing interest in Israel?

Sorry to disappoint you but where there may be differences most of the Jewish people regardless of where they come from or whether they are Orthodox , Reform, etc. do NOT agree on “ Right of Return” or going back to Borders that were never recognized to begin with. They do not agree in giving up ALL of E. Jerusalem which includes their HolySites and therefore Access to them forbidden. If you REALLY believe that you are more delusional then I thought. NICE TRY !!!!! .

Uh huh. "Israel was literally founded 70 years ago, on May 14, 1948".

Translation: If we erase thousands of years of Jewish history, you'll see that Israel is obviously settler colonialist and only 70 years old.

What else do you expect from the Uncivilized?



Indeed, you tried your best to put Israeli soldiers in a bad light. You managed perhaps four instances from an old video, apparently staged as the photographers were scrambling to keep out of the way.

Let me know if you are prepared for a discussion on the social, political and economic status of women in Israel vs. the women of Gaza, the West Bank or the Islamist world in general.
