Arab League blames Britain for Israeli acts on 92nd Balfour anniversary
Politics    11/2/2009 9:32:00 PM
 
CAIRO, Nov 2 (KUNA) -- The Arab League on Monday laid the full responsibility of illegal, political and immoral Israeli practices on the Palestinian people, on Britain after its role in the establishment of the Balfour Declaration on this same day in 1917.
In a letter addressed to Walter Rothschild, leader of the British Jewish community, on November 2, 1917, then British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour wrote: "His Majesty's government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object." The Arab League's Palestine and Arab occupied territories division in a statement on the memory of the declaration formed nearly a centaury ago, said that "the Palestinian people live under difficult conditions and suffer under violations of their most simple of rights as a result of Israeli occupation.
"This requires our joint efforts with Britain and the international community to enable these people to regain their national legitimate rights." The statement furthermore stressed that the Balfour Declaration was the major reason behind the human catastrophe that has become of the Palestinian people and still continues to this day.
It also warned that the situation in the region would only improve if the nation of Palestine was reestablished, with Jerusalem as its capital and the Palestinian people receiving their full legitimate rights. This can only come about if Israel is pressured into withdrawing from Arab lands it occupied in 1967.
The Arab League department also demanded Israeli compliance to international treaties and conventions in regard, including the respect of the dignity of Palestinian refugees according to legitimate international resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative. (end) ez.sd KUNA 022132 Nov 09NNNN
