The Palestinian president says he will sue Great Britain over the 1917 Balfour Declaration and its support for a Jewish national home in the Holy Land.
Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad Malki made the announcement on behalf of Mahmoud Abbas at Monday’s opening of the Arab League summit in the Mauritanian capital of Nouakchott.
Malki said the suit would be filed in an international court. He didn’t elaborate.
The Balfour Declaration laid the vision for the future state of Israel and sparked waves of Jewish migration to the British mandate in Palestine. Israel declared its independence in 1948 after the mandate expired and won a subsequent war against its Arab adversaries.
Malki said the declaration was a “fateful promise from the ones who don’t own to the ones who don’t deserve.”

OK But then the Jewish People will sue for the 210 years of forced labor. 600,000 men + 600,00 women = 1,200,000 x 210 years – 252,000,000 days. 252,000,000 days x 12 hours per day = 3,024,000,000 hours. At $10 per hour that’s 30,240,000,000,000. Hey Abbas how does this float your boat??
sorry, but you’re 100 years too late. You made some bad choices in ’48, now live with the consequences!
The title deeds of Eretz Yisrael were given by the Almighty himself to Moshe, thousands of years ago. The title to that land was meticulous transcribed from one generation the next. Long before there existed peoples of wood or STONE!!!!
