The PA marked the 105th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration
Headline: “105 years since the ominous Balfour Declaration”
“Today, Wednesday, Nov. 2, [2022,] is the 105th anniversary of the issuing of the ominous Balfour Declaration (see note below -Ed.), by virtue of which Britain gave the Jews the right to establish a national home in Palestine.
‘The Balfour Declaration’ was tantamount to the West’s first step on the path to establishing an entity for the Jews on the land of Palestine, while acceding to the desires of global Zionism at the expense of a people that has been planted in this land for thousands of years (sic., the Palestinians have no history prior to the modern period)…
The Jews succeeded in exploiting this piece of paper given by [then British Foreign Secretary] Arthur Balfour, known for his closeness to the Zionist movement, and afterwards the British Mandate for Palestine and [UN] General Assembly Resolution [181] from 1947 on the partition of Palestine (see note below -Ed.). They realized their dream when Israel was established on May 15, 1948, and this entity achieved membership in the UN thanks to pressure by the large states. Israel became the first state in the history of the global political system that is established on the land of others (sic.). It has obtained international aid that caused it to act arrogantly in the region, to expand, to swallow up more Palestinian and Arab lands, and to behave violently towards the members of the Palestinian people who were left on their land without mercy.”
The Balfour Declaration of Nov. 2, 1917 was a letter from British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Baron Rothschild stating that "His Majesty's government views with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people." In 1922, the League of Nations adopted this and made the British Mandate "responsible for putting into effect the declaration," which led to the UN vote in favor of partitioning Mandatory Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state in 1947. In response, Britain ended its mandate on May 15, 1948, and the Palestinian Jews, who accepted the Partition Plan, declared the independent State of Israel. The Palestinian Arabs rejected the plan and together with 7 Arab states attacked Israel, in what is now known as Israel's War of Independence.
UN Resolution 181 (the UN partition plan for Palestine) was passed by the UN General Assembly in 1947. It called for the partition of the British Mandate of Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem as a separate entity under the rule of a special international body. The Arab state was meant to be comprised of the western Galilee, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip, and the remaining territory of the Mandate west of the Jordan River would be the state of Israel - Jordan (known at the time as Transjordan) had already been established in what had been the part of the Mandate that was east of the Jordan River. The resolution was accepted by the Jewish Agency for Palestine, but Arab leaders and governments rejected it, and launched a war to destroy Israel.
